You'll donate a small amount of fat through liposuction, and the mitochondria from those cells will be added to your eggs before fertilization.
ColomboAges 29–39 - NCT07131605Recruiting
How weight-loss surgery affects heart health and inflammation
This study looks at how weight-loss surgery affects heart health by checking markers of inflammation in the blood and how blood vessels work. It may help understand why surgery lowers heart risk for people with obesity.
Cotignola, RavennaAges 18 years+ - NCT07187830Recruiting
Semaglutide for belly fat and liver health in kidney disease
This study looks at whether semaglutide (a diabetes medication) affects belly fat and the liver in people who have both type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease. It aims to understand if the drug can improve these health markers even in patients with reduced kidney function.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT07327684Recruiting
Imaging brown fat activity with ultrasound
This study uses a special camera (photoacoustic/ultrasound) to look at a type of fat called 'brown fat' that helps your body burn energy. You may be able to join as a healthy volunteer or if you have a condition like type 2 diabetes or PCOS.
BeijingAges 18–80 - NCT07360808Recruiting
Fat Cell Therapy for Hand Problems in Scleroderma
This study tests whether a person's own fat cells (processed into regenerative cells) can be injected into the hands to improve hand function and reduce skin thickening in systemic sclerosis (scleroderma). It’s designed for people whose hand problems are significant but not too severe.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT07367815RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Stem cells from fat tissue for Alzheimer's disease
This trial tests whether stem cells from donated fat tissue can help people with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease. It combines infusions of these cells with standard care, and includes brain scans and memory tests to see if the treatment is safe and effective.
ToulouseAges 50–85 - NCT07368777Recruiting
Genetics-based diet counseling vs standard diet for weight loss
This trial compares two types of diet counseling—one based on your genetic makeup and the other standard advice—to see which helps more with weight loss and reducing body fat. It is for adults who are overweight or obese and willing to follow a diet program.
MarousiAges 18–65 - NCT02208141Recruiting
Child body growth study with planned surgery
This study follows children’s body growth and fat (adipose) tissue as part of a planned surgical procedure. It aims to improve understanding of how fat tissue develops in childhood and what factors may affect health later.
Leipzig, SaxonyAges Any age - NCT02798276Recruiting
Procedure to improve heart scar tissue in certain adults
This trial studies a surgical technique that moves fat tissue to help heal or improve areas of scar in the heart. It may help people whose heart muscle scarring can’t be treated with opening blocked arteries.

Study how a beta-3 drug changes body fat in healthy adults
This Phase 1 study tests how chronic treatment with a beta-3–type medicine affects brown fat (a special kind of body fat) in the body. It mainly looks at safety and how the body responds over time, which could help future treatments for weight and metabolic health.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–40 - NCT03307330Recruiting
Study of body fat in people with obstructive sleep apnea
This study looks at how body fat (“adipose tissue”) may differ in people with obstructive sleep apnea. You may be asked for consent and could be asked to stop certain medicines short-term so researchers can take a safe fat sample.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–60 - NCT07487467Recruiting
Stem cell therapy for type 2 diabetes
This trial tests using your own fat stem cells to help control blood sugar in type 2 diabetes. It might help if you have had diabetes for less than 10 years and are not on insulin.
São Jose Do Rio Preto, São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT07589322Recruiting
How GLP-1 drugs reshape fat and metabolism
This study compares how a GLP-1 medication (a drug that helps control blood sugar and weight) changes the way your body stores and uses fat. Researchers will use imaging scans to see these changes over time in people with metabolic syndrome—a cluster of health conditions including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and excess weight.
TaipeiAges 20–65 - NCT07614230RecruitingPhase 4

Weight loss and heart failure with normal pumping strength
This study tests whether weight loss treatments can improve muscle and blood vessel function in people with a specific type of heart failure (HFpEF) who also have obesity. It may help if you have heart failure with a normal ejection fraction and a high BMI.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06907212Enrolling by invitation
Study of fat cell changes in obesity
This study looks at how fat cells change in people with obesity. It involves a small tissue sample (biopsy) and may help us understand more about weight-related health.

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.
