Recruiting studies in Maryland
- NCT04334707Recruiting
Study kidney damage in people with long-term diabetes
This study is looking at different kidney health patterns in people with diabetes, especially diabetic kidney disease and people who have not developed kidney damage despite long-term diabetes. It may help researchers understand why kidney problems happen—and what protective factors might prevent them.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT04505618Recruiting
Eye scan study using special imaging for blood-vessel disease
This study uses a detailed eye scan (optical coherence tomography angiography) to look at how blood vessels in the retina are affected. It may help researchers better understand retinal vascular diseases, though some people will be excluded for safety or image-quality reasons.

Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–50 - NCT04969926Recruiting
Study of parathyroid problems in children and adults
This is an observational study that follows people who have or may develop parathyroid-related conditions. The goal is to better understand how these problems change over time and what patterns show up, which can help improve future care.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 6 months–100 years - NCT05007990Recruiting
Interview study of caregiving networks over a person’s life
This study uses interviews and questionnaires to better understand who makes up a caregiver’s support network when caring for someone with a long-term health condition. Your answers may help researchers understand how caregiving changes over time and across different health situations.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT05041374Recruiting
Study for adults with digestive or liver problems
This study looks at adults who have known or possible problems in the digestive system or liver. It may help patients by offering structured evaluation and follow-up for their condition.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT05197920Recruiting

This study looks at why some people develop diabetes after acute pancreatitis and how that process works in the body. It may help doctors better predict risk and tailor care for people recovering from pancreatitis.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–75 - NCT05213598Recruiting
Biomarker study for liver disease after Fontan surgery
This study looks for blood and/or test markers that can better show how severe liver disease is in people who had the Fontan heart procedure. It also involves medical imaging and/or a liver biopsy or related procedures to help evaluate those markers.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT05321368Recruiting
Program to help control blood pressure and support health equity
This study tests a program that combines clinic care, community support, and phone-based monitoring to help people better manage blood pressure and related health problems. It aims to reduce health differences between groups that have been affected more by preventable disease.
Denton, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05419037Recruiting
Study of pregnancy outcomes in people with lipodystrophy
This study looks at how pregnancy goes and what birth outcomes happen in women with lipodystrophy, comparing those who used metreleptin during pregnancy versus those who did not. It also collects information and blood samples from the children so researchers can better understand the effects of metreleptin during pregnancy.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 6 months–98 years - NCT05470504RecruitingPhase 2
Pegvisomant for severe insulin resistance from rare fat or gene problems
This Phase 2 study tests pegvisomant, a medicine that blocks growth hormone, to see if it can improve severe insulin resistance in people with a specific genetic cause or a rare fat distribution condition. If you fit the rare diagnosis, the study may help clarify whether growth-hormone blocking can improve blood sugar and related health markers.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–70 - NCT05703386Recruiting
Study MRI changes in small-vessel stroke disease
This study looks at how “small-vessel” changes in the brain develop after an ischemic stroke, using repeated MRI scans. It may help researchers better understand what causes these changes and how to track them over time.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05996536Recruiting
Fat labeling study in familial partial lipodystrophy
This study tests a safe way to label fat (triglycerides) in people with a rare condition called familial partial lipodystrophy (FPL), where fat is missing in some areas. It involves two small fat biopsies, one from the belly and one from the thigh, to understand how the body handles fat.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–65 - NCT06044935Recruiting
Nicotinamide riboside for fat burning and metabolism
This study tests whether a supplement called nicotinamide riboside (a form of vitamin B3) helps the body burn fat more efficiently during exercise. It may be a good option if you are overweight or have a specific type of diabetes (MODY2) and want to see if a natural supplement can boost your metabolism.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–65 - 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.
Bowie, MarylandAges 55 years+ - NCT06364644Recruiting
Reducing heart failure risk in low-income adults with diabetes
This study looks at how low income and diabetes together raise the risk of heart failure. It offers a program to help you manage your health and reduce that risk.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 30–70 - NCT06401577Recruiting
Acute pancreatitis and diabetes risk study
This study looks at how acute pancreatitis affects blood sugar and the risk of developing diabetes. You'll wear a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) sensor and have metabolic tests to track changes over time.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–75 - NCT06445530Recruiting
Nutrition help for postpartum recovery in Black women
This study tests a nutrition program to help Black women with low income recover after giving birth. You may qualify if you had gestational diabetes, are the main meal planner, and are willing to take online surveys.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06635629RecruitingPhase 2
Desmopressin test for ACTH-dependent Cushing syndrome
This trial studies how well a desmopressin stimulation test works to diagnose ACTH-dependent Cushing syndrome. It compares results from people with possible or recurrent Cushing syndrome and healthy volunteers.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–70 - NCT06918977Recruiting

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 Maryland?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 114 recruiting diabetes studies with a site in Maryland, 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 Maryland?
- 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 Maryland to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Maryland, 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 Maryland 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.
