Rockville, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07606066Recruiting
Finding Type 2 Diabetes Patients for Future Research Studies
This is a screening study to identify and understand people with type 2 diabetes whose blood sugar isn't well controlled, so they can potentially join future diabetes research trials. You won't receive a new treatment in this study—it's about getting to know your health history and seeing if you might be a good fit for upcoming studies.
Potomac, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07592273RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Gene therapy for diabetic eye disease without macular swelling
This trial tests a gene therapy injection into the eye to treat diabetic retinopathy (eye damage from diabetes) before it progresses. The goal is to slow or prevent vision loss and potentially delay the need for laser treatment or other injections.
Hagerstown, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06730113Recruiting
Young adults with type 2 diabetes and heart health study
This study looks at how type 2 diabetes starting in youth affects the heart over time. It also includes teens and young adults who are overweight or lean, and their biological parents, to compare heart health across these groups.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 12–25 - NCT05544266Recruiting
Study rare diabetes patterns to better guide diagnosis
This study looks at people who may have a “non-typical” form of diabetes, including rare genetic causes or unusual symptoms. It may help your care team understand what type of diabetes you have and whether specific genetic testing could explain it.
Baltimore, MarylandAges Any age - NCT04164641Recruiting
Test software-guided walking analysis to help prevent foot ulcers
This study checks whether a computer system that analyzes your walking can help change gait (how you walk) to reduce the chance of diabetic foot ulcers coming back or leading to amputation. It is meant for adults who have had a healed diabetic foot ulcer before.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–90 - NCT00001987Recruiting
Understanding genetics of insulin resistance and diabetes
This research study looks at the genes and immune system factors that cause severe insulin resistance—a condition where the body doesn't respond well to insulin. Researchers want to understand why some people develop this problem and study family members and healthy volunteers to learn more.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 6 months–120 years - NCT00071526Recruiting
How the body loses vitamin C in diabetes
This study looks at why people with diabetes may lose more vitamin C in their urine than people without diabetes. By understanding this difference, researchers hope to better understand how diabetes affects the body's nutrition.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–65 - NCT00001853Recruiting
Heart disease risk study in Black adults
This study looks at how obesity and blood fat (triglyceride) levels affect heart disease risk differently in Black men and women. You may join if you're a healthy Black adult between 18 and 70, without diabetes.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–70 - NCT06321302RecruitingPhase 2
Study of BI 764524 for diabetic retinopathy
This study tests an investigational drug called BI 764524 for people with moderate to severe diabetic retinopathy, a complication of diabetes that can damage the retina. The goal is to see if the treatment can help prevent vision loss.
Hagerstown, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07867080RecruitingPhase 3
Gene therapy injection for diabetic macular edema
This trial tests a one-time gene therapy injection into the eye for adults with diabetic macular edema (DME), a condition where fluid builds up in the retina and blurs vision. The goal is to reduce the need for frequent eye injections and help maintain vision over time.
Chevy Chase, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07784270RecruitingPhase 3
Weight loss injection for adults with type 2 diabetes and overweight
This study tests a new injected medicine that may help people with type 2 diabetes and overweight or obesity lose weight. The trial will see how well it works and if it is safe compared to a placebo.
Oxon Hill, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07776509RecruitingPhase 3
Adding a new drug to current weight-loss therapy for adults with obesity or overweight
This study tests a new medication (AZD6234) added to your current weight-management medication (an incretin-based drug) to see if it helps with weight loss. You may be eligible if you are overweight or obese with related health issues or type 2 diabetes.
Beltsville, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07754461RecruitingPhase 3
Survodutide for blood sugar control in type 2 diabetes
This study tests an investigational drug called survodutide to see if it helps people with type 2 diabetes manage their blood sugar levels. Participants will receive either survodutide or a placebo, and the study will compare changes in HbA1c (a measure of blood sugar control).
Rockville, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07743450RecruitingPhase 3
Daily oral medication for weight loss in adults with obesity and type 2 diabetes
This study tests a once-a-day pill for adults who are overweight or have obesity and also have type 2 diabetes. The goal is to see if the medication helps with weight loss and improves blood sugar control.

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.
