Recruiting studies in Massachusetts
- NCT06251323Recruiting
Better diabetes care with team support and technology

Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06445946RecruitingPhase 4
Metformin vs insulin for gestational diabetes
This study compares two common medicines (metformin pills and insulin shots) to see which works better for controlling blood sugar in pregnant women with gestational diabetes. The goal is to find the best treatment for both mom and baby, now and in the long term.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07224321RecruitingPhase 2
Inhaled insulin for youth with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes
This study tests an inhaled insulin called Afrezza for teenagers and children who have just been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. It aims to see if this new way of taking insulin can help manage blood sugar and fit into their lives.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 6–17 - NCT07521475Recruiting
Fully Closed Loop Insulin Pump for Type 2 Diabetes
This study tests a new automated insulin pump system (Omnipod) that adjusts insulin doses on its own throughout the day for people with type 2 diabetes. The goal is to see if it helps keep blood sugar levels more stable while reducing the burden of manual insulin management.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–75 - NCT06525259Recruiting
Study on risk factors for type 2 diabetes in youth
This study looks for children and teens who are at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes to understand what factors lead to it. If your child is overweight, has slightly high blood sugar, and is in early to mid-puberty, they may be able to join.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 8–15 - NCT06869057Recruiting
Improving diabetes care after hospital discharge
This study tests a redesigned discharge process to help people with type 2 diabetes manage their health after leaving the hospital. It focuses on patients who also have unmet social needs, like food or housing issues.
Worcester, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06217302RecruitingPhase 3
Sotagliflozin for kidney protection in type 1 diabetes
This study tests whether sotagliflozin (a pill that helps control blood sugar and protects the kidneys) can slow down kidney function decline in people with type 1 diabetes and diabetic kidney disease. You may qualify if you have had type 1 diabetes for at least 8 years, have moderate kidney damage, and are on standard treatments.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–75 - NCT06919354RecruitingPhase 1
Study of GNTI-122 for new type 1 diabetes
This study tests a new treatment called GNTI-122 for adults recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes who still make some insulin. It aims to see if the treatment can help protect the cells that produce insulin.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–55 - NCT02734277Recruiting
Extending a past Type 1 diabetes immune study
This study is for people who already took part in an earlier immune-tolerance program for Type 1 diabetes. It tests whether continuing follow-up and assessments can be done safely and may help learn more about long-term immune effects of treatment.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 8–35 - NCT07064473RecruitingPhase 3
Testing vicadrostat plus empagliflozin for diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease
This study tests a new pill called vicadrostat taken with another medicine (empagliflozin) to see if it helps people with type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease. It may reduce the risk of heart problems, but you must not have had heart failure or use certain other heart medications.
Malden, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07043426Recruiting
Diabetes care support for social needs
This study tests if connecting people with type 2 diabetes who have high A1C levels (9% or more) to community resources for social needs (like food or housing) can help improve their diabetes control. It aims to see if addressing life challenges outside the clinic helps lower blood sugar.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06112418Recruiting
Personalized vs standard care to prevent heart attacks
This trial compares two ways to prevent heart attacks and strokes: one uses a special heart CT scan to guide care, the other uses standard risk factors like blood pressure and cholesterol. You may be eligible if you are older (men over 55, women over 65) and have diabetes, prediabetes, or metabolic syndrome.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 55 years+ - NCT06907147Recruiting
Renal denervation for uncontrolled high blood pressure
This trial tests a procedure called renal denervation to lower blood pressure in people whose medication isn't enough. It uses a special catheter to calm nerves near the kidneys that may be overactive.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–80 - NCT00097292Recruiting
Preventing Type 1 Diabetes in At-Risk People
This study looks for people at high risk of developing type 1 diabetes (based on family history or blood markers) and follows them over time to understand disease development. The goal is to eventually prevent or delay type 1 diabetes in people who don't have it yet.

What taking part in a diabetes mellitus study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
