Treatment of stroke from PFO, with or without closure
This study looks at whether treating a history of “cryptogenic” stroke (stroke with no clear cause) using a patent foramen ovale (PFO) closure, plus medical therapy, is better than medical therapy alone. It focuses on people over 60 with a heart shunt seen on an ultrasound of the heart.

Study of hernia repair results by hernia location
This study looks at how different hernia repairs turn out depending on where the hernia is in the body. It uses existing medical records to understand which factors may influence recovery or outcomes after surgery.

Imaging study to spot early spine changes in at-risk children
This study uses MRI and physical measurements to look for early signs of scoliosis (a side-bending of the spine) in children who are at higher risk. It may help doctors understand when scoliosis starts and improve early monitoring.
UtrechtAges 8–11 - NCT05925309Recruiting
Oral antibiotics to prevent bile duct inflammation after Kasai surgery
This trial studies whether giving oral antibiotics before symptoms start can lower the chance of cholangitis (bile duct infection/inflammation) after Kasai portoenterostomy. It may help protect your child’s bile flow and reduce painful or serious infections after surgery.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 2 weeks–3 months - NCT05927389Recruiting
Exercise program for kids with osteogenesis imperfecta
This trial tests an adapted physical activity program to help children and teenagers rebuild strength and improve effort/fitness. It may be helpful if you want a tailored exercise approach that is safe for osteogenesis imperfecta.
MontpellierAges 7–18 - NCT05927688Recruiting
Using patient reports to adjust treatment for autoimmune diseases
This study looks at whether doctors consider patient “electronic reports” (completed online/phone) when deciding how often to change treatment. It may help improve how well treatment plans match how patients feel over time.
StrasbourgAges 18 years+ - NCT05927519Recruiting
Compare a laryngoscope tool in obese vs nonobese men
This study compares how well a specific breathing tube placement tool (Airtraq) works in men who are obese versus men who are not, during planned surgeries. It may help improve the safety and ease of putting in a breathing tube.
IamitAges 18–80 - NCT05927467Recruiting
Study of Alport syndrome patients in a kidney–skin research group
This study follows people diagnosed with Alport syndrome to better understand the condition and its effects. It may help researchers learn what to watch for over time and how the disease progresses.
Paris, Île-de-France RegionAges Any age - NCT05928169Recruiting
Tracking how inflammatory skin conditions change over time
This study looks at what affects the “path” (trajectory) of long-lasting inflammatory skin conditions. It may help researchers understand why symptoms change and how treatments or factors influence those changes.
KielAges birth–80 years - NCT05929976Recruiting
Study of gut and blood chemistry in children with new leukemia
This study looks at the gut microbiome (tiny organisms in the gut) and metabolome (small chemicals in the body) in children and teens with newly diagnosed ALL. It may help researchers understand what is happening in the body early in treatment and could guide future, more personalized care.
New York, New YorkAges 3–18 - NCT05932589Recruiting
Study of brain signals as signs of Rett syndrome
This study measures brain and nerve activity (brain signals) to find patterns that match Rett syndrome. It may help researchers better track Rett changes over time and develop more precise ways to measure response in future treatments.

- Clin2 is tracking 3,858 recruiting medical genetics studies from the U.S. registry right now, out of 5,764 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.
