Fontan stent study for liver stiffness and exercise
This study looks at whether placing a stent in the Fontan blood vessel can improve liver health and exercise ability in teenagers and young adults. If you are between 12 and 21 years old and need a stent in your Fontan pathway, you may be able to join.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 12–21 - NCT07077304Recruiting
Cardiac imaging study for inflammatory heart diseases
This study uses heart scans (MRI or nuclear imaging) to better understand inflammatory heart conditions. If you have a suspected inflammatory heart disease and are already scheduled for one of these scans, you may be able to join.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT07077447Recruiting
Study on cancer in the upper urinary tract
This trial is for people diagnosed with a rare type of cancer in the upper urinary tract (UTUC). Researchers hope to learn more about this condition and find better ways to treat it.
Aarhus NAges 18 years+ - NCT07077473Recruiting
Comparing FMF treatments used in daily care
This study looks at how well and safely different real-world treatments work for people with Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF). It aims to find which medicines help best for this inherited inflammatory disorder.

- Clin2 is tracking 3,858 recruiting medical genetics studies from the U.S. registry right now, out of 5,779 we cover in this area in total.
- What does “Genetic & congenital” cover here?
- Inherited and congenital conditions present from birth or written into the genes. We group each study into genetic & congenital based on the conditions it studies, so you can scan the whole therapeutic area at once and drill into a specific condition.
- How do I find a genetic & congenital trial near me?
- Use the search to filter genetic & congenital studies by location and eligibility. Every Clin2 trial page explains the criteria in plain English and offers a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read — the study team makes the final decision.
