Baricitinib for new type 1 diabetes to save insulin-making cells
This trial tests if baricitinib, a pill that calms the immune system, can protect the remaining insulin-making cells in people newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. If it works, you might keep making some of your own insulin longer.
Corpus Christi, TexasAges 1–35 - NCT06628453Recruiting
Continuous glucose monitor for type 2 diabetes in pregnancy
This study tests whether using a CGM (a small sensor that tracks blood sugar) can help manage type 2 diabetes during pregnancy better than standard care. It is for women who have type 2 diabetes and are pregnant with one baby.
Houston, TexasAges 18–50 - NCT02610179Recruiting
Testing a candy-based sugar drink screen for gestational diabetes
This study tests whether a candy “sugar twist” drink can be used instead of the usual glucose screening test to find gestational diabetes during pregnancy. It may help make screening easier, but whether you can join depends on your pregnancy timing and prior diabetes risk results.
Houston, TexasAges 18–64 - NCT07351058RecruitingPhase 3
Enicepatide for weight loss in people with type 2 diabetes
This trial tests an investigational medication, Enicepatide, to see if it helps people with obesity or overweight and type 2 diabetes lose weight and improve blood sugar control. You will receive weekly injections and regular check-ups.
Brownsville, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06739122RecruitingPhase 3
A study of dulaglutide for children with type 2 diabetes

Dallas, TexasAges 10–17 - 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.
Austin, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07743450RecruitingPhase 3
Once-daily pill for weight loss in people with type 2 diabetes

Austin, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT02969798Recruiting
Study of prediabetes with abnormal sugars and medicines
This study looks at adults with prediabetes—specifically abnormal fasting and/or 2-hour blood sugar tests—to see whether a treatment helps improve sugar control. You may also be compared with people who have normal blood sugar (the control group).
San Antonio, TexasAges 18–65 - NCT07502508RecruitingPhase 2
Icovamenib for type 2 diabetes with Ozempic
This trial tests an investigational pill called icovamenib for people with type 2 diabetes who are already on Ozempic but still have high blood sugar. The goal is to see if adding icovamenib helps lower blood sugar more safely.
San Antonio, TexasAges 18–70 - NCT06906627Recruiting

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.

Common questions
- Are there diabetes mellitus clinical trials in Texas?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 55 recruiting diabetes mellitus studies with a site in Texas, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a diabetes mellitus study in Texas?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in Texas to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Texas, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a diabetes mellitus trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
Not the right time?
New diabetes mellitus studies open in Texas regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
