Recruiting studies in Florida
- NCT07568678RecruitingPhase 1
Testing HMS1005 in adults with type 2 diabetes
This study tests a new medicine called HMS1005 in people with type 2 diabetes. Researchers want to see how safe it is and how the body responds to different doses. You may qualify if you have type 2 diabetes that is either untreated or controlled with common diabetes medications.
Miami, FloridaAges 18–65 - NCT05704309Enrolling by invitation
Study of diabetes prevention participants using brain scans
This study looks at how people who previously took part in a diabetes prevention program are doing over time, including brain health using MRI scans for some participants. It may help researchers understand who is at higher risk for memory and thinking problems and why.

Study of BI 1815368 for diabetic macular edema
This trial tests an experimental medication (BI 1815368) given as an eye injection for people with diabetic macular edema, a condition where fluid builds up in the center of the retina and blurs vision. The study aims to see if this new treatment can reduce swelling and improve vision.

Atlantis, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06368817RecruitingPhase 2
Lower radiation dose for children with CNS germinoma
This trial will see if giving a lower dose of radiation therapy can still effectively treat children and young adults with a type of brain tumor called germinoma. The goal is to reduce side effects while keeping the cancer under control.
Hollywood, FloridaAges 3–29 - NCT03135327Recruiting
Eye scans study to compare brain and eye health
This study uses detailed eye imaging to look for patterns that may go along with conditions like Alzheimer’s disease, memory problems, multiple sclerosis, or eye/vascular issues. It may help researchers better understand how eye findings relate to health and disease.
Miami, FloridaAges 18–99 - NCT07701590Recruiting
New wound dressings for hard-to-heal leg and foot ulcers
This study tests a special amniotic membrane wound dressing compared to a synthetic wound matrix for stubborn diabetic foot ulcers or venous leg ulcers. It may help if your wound has not been healing well for over a month.
Coral Gables, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04101669Recruiting
Diabetes device trial to improve blood sugar and weight
This study tests the RESET System to help people with type 2 diabetes lower their average blood sugar (HbA1c) despite current medication. It may also affect weight and safety outcomes by changing how food moves through the gut.
Miami, FloridaAges 22–65 - NCT04501406RecruitingPhase 2
Low-dose pioglitazone for fatty liver disease in people with type 2 diabetes
This Phase 2 study tests whether low-dose pioglitazone can improve NASH, a type of fatty liver disease, in adults who also have type 2 diabetes. You may be able to join if your diabetes medicines and lab tests meet specific safety and stability requirements.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 21–75 - NCT04920253Recruiting
Testing a water-jet treatment to heal certain foot and leg wounds
This trial tests a new “micro water jet” device (Debritom+) to help heal specific hard-to-heal wounds in people who can attend frequent visits. If you qualify, you’ll be assigned to the device treatment or standard care and monitored to see how well the wound heals.
Bradenton, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05197920Recruiting
Study of diabetes after acute pancreatitis

Orlando, FloridaAges 18–75 - NCT05588583Recruiting
Tracking drainage from chronic leg or foot ulcers with a dressing
This study follows how much fluid (drainage) a chronic ulcer produces over time using a dressing called Mepilex Up. It may help clinicians better understand how this dressing manages “exuding” ulcers on the leg or foot.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05832229RecruitingPhase 2
Studying rosuvastatin to slow liver scarring in cirrhosis
This Phase 2 trial tests whether rosuvastatin (a cholesterol-lowering medicine) can improve how well the liver functions and slow worsening scarring in people with cirrhosis. It also checks for side effects and safety.

What taking part in a diabetes 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 clinical trials in Florida?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 151 recruiting diabetes studies with a site in Florida, 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 study in Florida?
- 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 Florida to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Florida, 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 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 studies open in Florida regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
Clin2 helps you find and understand clinical trials and does not provide medical advice. Study data comes from ClinicalTrials.gov. Talk with your doctor about whether a specific trial is right for you.
