Pridopidine to slow Huntington's disease progression
This study tests whether a medication called pridopidine can help slow the progression of Huntington's disease symptoms in adults. Huntington's is a genetic disorder affecting movement, mood, and thinking, and this trial aims to see if pridopidine improves daily functioning and quality of life.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 23–65 - NCT07605429RecruitingPhase 3
Rugonersen treatment for Angelman syndrome
This study tests a new medicine called rugonersen for people with Angelman syndrome. The medicine is given as an injection into the fluid around the spinal cord and may help improve symptoms by targeting the genetic cause of the condition.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 1–50 - NCT07604324RecruitingPhase 1
New Drug for Moderate to Severe Eczema Treatment
This study tests a new investigational drug called DCY636 to see if it can help people with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis (eczema) that hasn't improved with topical creams. The trial starts with safety testing in healthy volunteers, then moves to people with active eczema.
FukuokaAges 18–55 - NCT07606989Recruiting
Genetic testing to understand fetal birth defects
This study uses advanced genetic testing (whole genome sequencing) on tissue samples from fetuses with structural abnormalities detected on ultrasound. The goal is to identify genetic causes of birth defects to help with diagnosis and understanding of your baby's condition.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT07610239Recruiting
Newborn Sickle Cell Disease Screening System in Uganda
This study tests a new computer system to help hospitals quickly identify babies with sickle cell disease (an inherited blood disorder) right after birth or at early health visits. Finding sickle cell disease early helps prevent serious health problems and saves lives.

Common questions
- How many genetic & congenital clinical trials are recruiting?
- Clin2 is tracking 3,756 recruiting medical genetics studies from the U.S. registry right now, out of 5,439 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.
