Recruiting studies
- NCT06444646Recruiting
Studying fat cell particles in obesity
This study looks at tiny particles released from fat tissue in people with and without obesity. It aims to understand differences that might help explain obesity-related health problems.
Genk, LimburgAges 18–65 - NCT06592703RecruitingPhase 1
Stem cells for primary progressive MS
This study tests whether stem cells from donated fat tissue can slow down primary progressive multiple sclerosis. You would receive a single injection of the cells into your spinal fluid and be followed for up to 2 years.
CréteilAges 18–55 - NCT06602141Recruiting
Exercise and fat cell changes study
This study looks at how endurance exercise changes fat cells in the body. It may help understand how exercise benefits weight-related health.
Orlando, FloridaAges 18–45 - NCT06705023RecruitingPhase 2
Fat-derived cell therapy for heart failure
This study tests whether taking a small amount of your own belly fat (through liposuction), processing it, and injecting the cells back into your heart can improve heart function in people with chronic heart failure due to blocked arteries. The trial is for patients whose heart pumps weakly (ejection fraction of 40% or less) and who are already on standard medications.
AstanaAges 21–80 - NCT06869252RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Fat cell therapy for skin and hair concerns
This study uses your own fat cells to improve skin appearance and hair growth. It may help with wrinkles, fine lines, loss of skin firmness, uneven color, scars, or hair thinning and loss.
Lewes, DelawareAges 21–80 - NCT07048054RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Patch of fat cells for chronic leg ulcers
This trial tests a patch made from your own fat cells (called TrophiPatch) to see if it helps heal chronic leg ulcers. It is for people with venous leg ulcers or diabetic foot ulcers that are not healing well with standard care.
GenevaAges 18 years+ - NCT07121556Recruiting
Fat tissue vs fat tissue plus gel for knee osteoarthritis
This trial compares two injections for knee arthritis: one uses your own fat tissue, the other adds a lubricating gel. Researchers want to see if the combination helps pain and function more than fat tissue alone.
BolognaAges 18–75 - NCT07178145RecruitingPhase 4
Heart fat and heart failure with preserved pumping ability study
This study looks at fat around the heart in people with heart failure where the heart still pumps normally. It uses MRI scans to understand this fat better, and may help find new treatments.
Charlottesville, VirginiaAges 18–90 - NCT06425796Recruiting
Body fat and iron needs in pregnancy study
This study looks at how a mother's body fat might affect her iron needs during pregnancy. If you join, you may stop taking any current multivitamins to help researchers learn more about when iron supplements are truly needed.
Coleraine, Co LondonderryAges 18 years+ - NCT02375802Enrolling by invitationPhase 1
Stem cell treatment for pressure sores and some diabetic foot ulcers
This Phase 1 study tests whether injected stem cells can help wounds heal faster or better. It focuses on people with specific wound types and sizes, and checks safety and wound healing over weekly visits.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07635875RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Burn Scar Improvement Using Fat-Derived Cells
This study tests whether injecting special cells from your own fat can improve the appearance and texture of thick, raised scars from old burn injuries. Researchers hope this treatment may help soften scars and restore more normal-looking skin.
Copenhagen, EastAges 18 years+ - NCT06476795Recruiting
Grape pomace from chardonnay for heart and gut health in postmenopausal women
This study tests if consuming a powder made from chardonnay grape pomace (the leftover skins and seeds from winemaking) can improve gut and heart health in postmenopausal women. You may be a good fit if you are between 45-70, have gone through menopause, and have higher levels of blood fats called triglycerides.
Davis, CaliforniaAges 45–70 - NCT07077746RecruitingPhase 2
Stem cells for Crohn's disease
This trial tests whether a type of stem cell called HB-adMSCs can help treat Crohn's disease. It is for adults with mild to moderate Crohn's who have certain signs of inflammation in their blood and recent imaging of their condition.
Sugar Land, TexasAges 18–65 - NCT05517967Recruiting
MRI study of infant body heat and energy use
This study looks at how infants use energy and how “brown fat” (a type of body fat that can burn energy) develops. It involves MRI scans and short clinic visits, which may help researchers better understand early growth and metabolism.
Baton Rouge, LouisianaAges Up to 1 month - NCT04891510Recruiting
Compare fat grafting products in breast surgery
This trial compares three methods for moving your own fat into the breast during breast surgery. It may help improve how well fat grafting works and how surgeons choose the best method for you.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06960343Recruiting
Shoulder repair with fat tissue for better healing
This trial tests whether adding a small amount of your own fat tissue to standard shoulder surgery helps the torn tendons heal better and last longer. It is for people with a full-thickness tear of the supraspinatus and infraspinatus tendons that needs arthroscopic repair.
Milan, ItalyAges 18 years+ - NCT06916208Recruiting
Capsinoid supplement study for obese teens
This study tests whether a supplement called capsinoid can help activate brown fat in teenagers with obesity. Brown fat is a type of body fat that burns calories, so this could be a new way to help with weight management.
Palavas-les-FlotsAges 11–18 - NCT07731438Recruiting
Calorie restriction and bone marrow fat in obesity and diabetes
This study tests whether a calorie-restricted diet can change the fat in your bone marrow and how it relates to bone health and energy use. It is for premenopausal women and men who are either obese or lean and do not have diabetes.
PragueAges 21–55 - NCT06857435Recruiting
Fat graft for scar release: a new approach
This trial tests if using your own fat cells during scar surgery helps heal better. If you need surgery to release a tight scar, you may be able to receive a fat graft from your own body.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06857448Recruiting
Fat grafting for recent wounds and burns
This trial tests whether using your own fat cells can help heal wounds or burns that need surgery. It is for adults who have had a fasciotomy, full-thickness skin loss, or burns, and are willing to receive a fat graft.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05951777RecruitingPhase 2
Stem cells from your own fat for chronic brain injury
This trial tests whether stem cells taken from your own fat and given through an IV can help people with long-term brain damage from a head injury. It is for adults who have not gotten better with standard treatments.
Houston, TexasAges 18–55 - NCT03570450RecruitingPhase 1
Stem cell treatment for non-lacunar stroke after the first day
This early-phase study tests a stem cell treatment for certain types of stroke, focusing first on safety and the right dose. It may help doctors learn whether the treatment is safe and potentially beneficial when given soon after stroke begins.
GrenobleAges 18 years+ - NCT03875625Recruiting
Tracking body fat and liver fat after weight-loss treatment
This study looks at how body fat and liver fat change after bariatric (weight-loss) surgery or a lifestyle program. You may join if you have overweight or obesity and can safely have MRI scans, so researchers can compare results between treatment approaches.
Hong Kong, ShatinAges 18–65 - NCT04238143Recruiting
Knee and other joint arthritis tissue therapy
This trial tests a regenerative therapy made from a patient’s own fat tissue (a “cellular” treatment) to reduce pain and improve function in arthritis-related problems. It may help people with inflammatory or degenerative arthritis changes, if they meet safety and tissue-donation requirements.
Valencia, CaliforniaAges 18–90

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for adiposity?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 120 recruiting adiposity studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a adiposity trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a adiposity trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
