TrialX Updates: Supporting Health Research Data Collection for the Historic Ax-4 Space Mission, AI Powered Clinical Trial Finders and More…
The Ax-4 mission — Axiom Space’s fourth commercial astronaut flight to the International Space Station launched on June 25th and we’re thrilled to announce that TrialX is once again playing a key role in advancing space health research. In partnership with the Translational Research Institute for Space Health (TRISH), TrialX is supporting this historic mission by enabling critical health data collection to further our understanding of human health and performance in space. The crew will spend about two weeks on the space station and conduct nearly 60 science experiments. Building on our contributions to previous missions like Ax-1 through Ax-3, Fram2, and Inspiration4, we continue pushing the boundaries of decentralized research beyond Earth. Learn more.

📢 PRODUCT UPDATES
We’re honored to share that TrialX’s global clinical trial finder now powers the ALS Network’s Trial Finder—an AI-driven platform designed to help individuals easily discover clinical trials focused on amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and related motor neuron diseases. The new tool offers a personalized, user-friendly search experience—guiding users through tailored questions, smart filters, and clear trial summaries to help them connect with relevant studies and stay informed through a volunteer registry. ALS is a progressive and fatal neuromuscular condition with no known cure, affecting approximately 5.2 people per 100,000 in the U.S. alone. Learn more.
We’re proud to support clinical trial awareness, patient recruitment and engagement efforts for the world’s leading pharmaceutical companies — including powering the clinical trial volunteer registry for a top 3 pharma. Explore how patients are getting connected to trials that matter.

🧬 FEATURED CLINICAL STUDIES
Powered by TrialX
RISE Above Smoking: Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania are studying how remote versus in-person support impacts success in quitting smoking using nicotine patches and lozenges. The study aims to improve smoking cessation support, particularly for groups experiencing health inequities.
The BURST Study: The Behavior, Understanding, and Relationships During School Transition (BURST) Study, led by researchers at Indiana University, explores how puberty, cognitive development, social relationships, and health behaviors change as children move from elementary to middle school.
CRSwNP Clinical Study: Researchers are studying a potential new treatment, lunsekimig, for adults aged 18–70 with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). This condition causes long-term nasal inflammation, leading to symptoms like nasal congestion, runny nose, and loss of smell. The study will assess whether lunsekimig can reduce symptoms and polyp size in patients whose condition is not well controlled by current treatments.
Light Therapy in PD: Photoreceptor-directed Light Therapy in Parkinson’s Disease, is a Phase II study testing a novel approach that targets sleep-regulating cells in the eye. By using customized lighting to stimulate these cells, researchers aim to improve sleep quality and motor symptoms, with the goal of developing personalized, in-home light therapy for Parkinson’s.
