Finding reports of completed clinical trials is a relatively straightforward matter. Searching PubMed by a communication disorder and then narrowing the search to clinical trials reveals several published c linical trials and perhaps Phase I and Phase II studies. A few quick searches of the Cochrane Central Registries of Controlled Trials reveal the following numbers of archived reports.

Getting a sense for ongoing trials is also reasonably straightforward. For instance, the National Institutes of Health provides a registry of trials funded by NIH. The search term "aphasia" presently finds six ongoing trials.
