Recruiting studies
- NCT07305818RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new drug for Graves' disease
This study tests a new medication called MER511 for adults with Graves' disease. The goal is to see if it is safe and how it works when taken once or multiple times.

Brain stimulation for hard-to-treat epilepsy
This study tests a new type of gentle brain stimulation (HD-tDCS) to see if it can reduce seizures in people with epilepsy that does not get better with standard medicines. The treatment uses a small device to send a weak electrical current to specific areas of the brain.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–50 - NCT06368206Recruiting
Testing a fingertip light sensor for blood pressure
This study tests a new way to measure blood pressure by using a light sensor on your fingertip, instead of a traditional arm cuff. It aims to see if this optical method works as well as standard blood pressure checks.
LausanneAges 21–85 - NCT06608277RecruitingPhase 2
Ketamine and nerve block for headache or PTSD after brain injury
This study tests if ketamine infusions or a stellate ganglion block (a numbing injection near the neck) can help people with long-term headaches or PTSD after a traumatic brain injury. It compares these treatments alone and together.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07324005Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided carpal tunnel release and injection for carpal tunnel syndrome
This trial tests a new treatment for carpal tunnel syndrome that uses ultrasound to guide a needle to release a tight ligament in the wrist and inject a sugar-water solution around the nerve. This may help relieve pain and numbness without surgery.
TaipeiAges 20–80 - NCT07339111RecruitingPhase 3
CARTISTEM vs surgery for knee cartilage damage and osteoarthritis
This trial tests if a cell-based treatment called CARTISTEM can repair knee cartilage better than surgery alone. It involves people with knee osteoarthritis and a cartilage defect, with moderate pain and limited function.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–75 - NCT05517434RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Autologous bone and fat injections versus saline for knee OA
This trial compares different knee injections made from your own bone marrow and/or fat, plus platelet-rich plasma (a blood-derived healing factor), against saline (placebo) to treat painful knee osteoarthritis. It aims to see whether these “autologous” injections reduce knee pain and improve function.
Toronto, OntarioAges 30 years+ - NCT06956612Recruiting
Dietary nitrate supplements and your oral health
This trial tests whether taking dietary nitrate supplements can improve oral health in healthy adults. It may help you understand how simple diet changes could support your mouth's natural defenses.
NewcastleAges 18–65 - NCT05968729Recruiting
Study testing walking changes after ACL surgery
This study looks at how your walking pattern adapts when you follow a purposely uneven walking setup. It may help researchers understand recovery after ACL surgery and how to improve return-to-sport safety.
Storrs, ConnecticutAges 18–30 - NCT05635877RecruitingPhase 4
Low-dose heart-rate medicine after surgery in frail older adults
This trial tests whether a low dose of esmolol (a short-acting heart-rate medicine) can reduce heart muscle injury after non-heart surgery in older, frail people. It may help lower the chance of heart-related complications around the time of surgery.
Jinan, ShandongAges 65–90 - NCT07200297Recruiting
Comparing three mouth care methods for ICU patients on non-invasive ventilation
This study compares three different mouth care methods for patients in the intensive care unit who are using a non-invasive ventilator (a mask or mouthpiece). The goal is to find the best way to keep the mouth clean and comortable during their stay.
Erzurum, MerkezAges 18 years+ - NCT06826690RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing pain medicine mixes for hand surgery wrist blocks
This trial tests different combinations of numbing medicines injected around the wrist before hand surgery. The goal is to find which mix provides the best pain relief with fewer side effects.
Aswān, Aswan GovernorateAges 18 years+ - NCT06818448Recruiting
Comparing rotator cuff repair methods for small tears
This trial compares two surgical techniques for repairing small rotator cuff tears (up to 2 cm). It tests if a newer method helps people recover better than the standard approach.
MechernichAges 18 years+ - NCT07383051Recruiting
Helping children breathe on their own after ventilator support
This trial tests whether a special type of high-flow nasal therapy can help children come off a breathing machine (ventilator) more successfully. It compares standard care with this extra support to find what works best for kids ages 2 months to 13 years.
Cairo, Cairo GovernorateAges 2 months–13 years - NCT07732114Recruiting
Liver vein vs. heart echo to check right heart function on a ventilator
This study compares a liver vein ultrasound method with a standard heart ultrasound for checking how well the right side of the heart is pumping in patients who are on a breathing machine (ventilator). If you are on a ventilator and can get a clear ultrasound of your heart and liver veins, you may be able to join.
Alexandria, Shebin El-KomAges 18 years+ - NCT06229275Recruiting
Comparing self vs. doctor pap smear collection
This trial compares two ways of collecting a Pap smear: one where a doctor does it and one where you do it yourself. This can help make cervical cancer screening easier and more comfortable for women.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 21–65 - NCT07006428Recruiting
Comparing two types of multifocal lens implants for cataract surgery
This trial compares the Clareon PanOptix lens with another similar multifocal lens to see which provides better vision after cataract surgery. It has two stages: one for people who already had the lenses implanted, and one for those who are planning to have cataract surgery.
Torrance, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT07712913RecruitingPhase 3
Pregabalin for nerve pain from diabetes or shingles
This trial tests an extended-release version of pregabalin (a pain medication) for people with long-term nerve pain caused by diabetes or shingles. It aims to see if this once-daily pill can reduce pain with fewer side effects.
Salvador, Estado de BahiaAges 18–75 - NCT03649581Recruiting
Brain-scan study in catatonia and hebephrenia with stable schizophrenia
This study measures brain signals during scans to look for patterns linked to two types (subforms) of psychotic disorders. If you have schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder and your symptoms have been stable, you may be able to help researchers understand these brain markers.
StrasbourgAges 18–65 - NCT04130789Recruiting
Personalized study for ICU patients with possible sepsis

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials studying Comparator?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,757 recruiting studies that include Comparator, drawn from the U.S. registry and rewritten for real people so you can see what each is testing and who it's for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a Comparator trial?
- Each study lists its own eligibility criteria — rules about condition, age, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Is Comparator an approved treatment?
- A drug being studied in a trial may be investigational (still being tested) or already approved and being studied for a new use. Each study page explains what phase it's in. Clin2 does not provide medical advice — talk with your doctor about whether Comparator or a specific trial is right for you.
