This study compares two ways to find relatives who may carry a specific inherited genetic change. It may help your family learn faster who should get follow-up testing and care.
Lancaster, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05301543Recruiting
Program to improve long-term insomnia symptoms
This study tests a behavioral (non-medication) program to help people with chronic insomnia sleep better. It may help if you regularly use sleep medications but still struggle with staying asleep or falling asleep.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 55–85 - NCT05279547Recruiting
Bed-cycle exercise study to test muscle oxygen during ICU care
This trial tests whether brief “interval” bed-cycling changes how well your leg muscles use oxygen compared with steady cycling. It’s meant for carefully selected ICU patients who can safely do active cycling while on ventilator support.
LeuvenAges 18 years+ - NCT05297734Recruiting
Study compares two cancer support care plans
This study tests two different ways of providing supportive care for adults with cancer to see which one works better. It may help improve comfort, support, and care coordination during treatment.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05271240RecruitingPhase 3
Targeted brain-artery drug added to standard treatment for new GBM
This Phase 3 trial tests whether delivering a cancer drug directly into brain blood vessels, along with standard radiation and temozolomide, works better than standard treatment alone in newly diagnosed glioblastoma (GBM). The goal is to improve control of the tumor while comparing side effects between the two approaches.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05275335Recruiting
Study how germs in burn wounds are best identified
This study compares two ways of finding germs (microbes) in burn wounds: traditional tissue swabs/cultures versus a newer DNA-based method. It may help improve how clinicians understand burn infections and tailor care.
Galveston, TexasAges 18–100 - NCT05281471RecruitingPhase 3
Tested drug for platinum-resistant ovarian cancer with bevacizumab
This Phase 3 trial tests a treatment made of an investigational gene-based drug plus standard “platinum” chemotherapy and bevacizumab, compared with standard chemotherapy and bevacizumab. It’s for ovarian/fallopian tube/primary peritoneal cancers that have not responded to platinum chemotherapy or came back quickly.
Mobile, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05215353RecruitingPhase 4
Music therapy or talk therapy for anxiety after cancer
This study compares music therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to see which better reduces anxiety in people who have had cancer. You may be randomly assigned to one of the two therapy programs and will join sessions by video call.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05201534Recruiting
Math and thinking skills training for school-age children
This trial studies interventions to improve math and cognitive (thinking) skills in elementary school children. It includes both children with math learning difficulties and typically developing children, using tests and MRI brain scans for those who can participate.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 6–12 - NCT05226637Recruiting
Shockwave plus botox-like treatment versus standard care for arm spasticity
This study tests whether adding shockwave treatment to botulinum toxin type A (a botox-like injection) improves outcomes for people with stiff, tight upper-arm muscles after brain injury, stroke, or cerebral palsy. It also compares this to standard botulinum toxin care alone.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 18–99 - NCT05222620RecruitingPhase 2
SRS methods for untreated brain metastases under 4 cm
This trial compares two stereotactic radiation strategies for patients who have intact (not previously radiated) brain metastases that are limited in size. It aims to see which approach works best in controlling the cancer while reducing side effects.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05245656RecruitingPhase 2
Rituximab plus chemo plans for older mantle cell lymphoma
This Phase 2 trial studies whether an “extra chemo” schedule (adding cytarabine) can work better than a standard rituximab-bendamustine plan in older people with mantle cell lymphoma. It compares two treatment sequences to see which one helps patients live longer and respond better with acceptable safety.
Seoul, Gangnam-GuAges 60 years+ - NCT05145491Recruiting
Immediate or delayed surgery for vision changes from ERM
This trial compares doing ERM surgery right away versus waiting at least 4 weeks to see if your vision stays stable. It may help people decide the safest timing for surgery when the membrane in the retina (ERM) is causing symptoms.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 50 years+ - NCT05152472RecruitingPhase 2
Imatinib plus atezolizumab versus imatinib alone for advanced GIST
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding atezolizumab (an immune medicine) to imatinib works better than imatinib by itself in people with advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) that can’t be fully removed and have progressed after standard treatments. It may help by improving how well tumors respond and how long disease stays under control.
Lyon, RhôneAges 18 years+ - NCT05197192RecruitingPhase 3
New treatment for high-risk CLL using two medicines plus chemo-free pills
This trial tests whether adding acalabrutinib to obinutuzumab plus venetoclax works better than the standard combo (obinutuzumab plus venetoclax) for people with untreated, high-risk CLL. It’s designed to see if the stronger mix can improve control of the leukemia with an acceptable safety profile.
Bad SaarowAges 18–120 - NCT05170919Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Olanzapine vs mirtazapine for weight loss in advanced cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether the medicines olanzapine or mirtazapine can help people with advanced cancer who are losing weight without trying. It looks at improving unintentional weight loss when standard cancer care is also ongoing.
Englewood, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT05193240Recruiting
Swallowing test to predict vocal cord paralysis after lung surgery
This study checks whether a simple swallowing test can forecast vocal cord paralysis after lung surgery, compared with a camera exam of the throat. If predictions are accurate, it may help doctors prevent or plan treatment for swallowing and voice problems.
RouenAges 18 years+ - NCT05160987Recruiting
Sedation choice for ICU patients on breathing machines
This study compares two sedation medicines—remimazolam vs midazolam—for very sick ICU patients who are on a breathing machine. It looks at whether one sedative works better or is safer for keeping patients comfortable while they’re critically ill.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT05135091RecruitingPhase 3
Cell therapy trial for hard-to-control one-sided temporal lobe epilepsy
This Phase 3 study tests a neural cell therapy (NRTX-1001) for adults whose seizures come from one side of the hippocampus and have not improved with standard seizure medicines. The goal is to reduce seizure frequency and improve seizure control where other treatments have not worked.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–75 - NCT05109936RecruitingPhase 3
Febuxostat given right away versus later for gout flare
This Phase 3 study compares starting febuxostat immediately during a gout flare versus delaying the start. It aims to see which timing helps control gout better and safely.
CaenAges 18 years+ - NCT05102747Recruiting
Surgery-like brain radiation for up to 5 metastases
This trial compares two ways of giving focused radiation to the brain for people with a limited number of brain metastases. It aims to see which schedule works best (and is likely best for costs and quality of life).
BordeauxAges 18 years+ - NCT05126810Recruiting
Standard versus personalized counseling for TP53 test results
This trial compares standard genetic counseling with a more personalized approach for people considering or receiving TP53 genetic testing. It may help by seeing which counseling style better supports you before and after testing for a TP53 inherited change.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials studying Comparator?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,699 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.
