Recruiting studies in Maryland
- NCT00001979Recruiting
Understanding Immune System Kidney Disease
This research study looks at kidney diseases caused by the immune system—conditions where your body's defense system mistakenly attacks the kidneys. Researchers will study your medical history, blood, and urine to better understand these diseases and potentially improve treatment.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 10–99 - NCT00001276Recruiting
Understanding and Treating Severe Low Blood Sugar
This study helps doctors diagnose and treat dangerously low blood sugar, especially in people with pancreatic tumors that produce too much insulin. You'll receive comprehensive evaluation and personalized care to manage your condition.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT00001971Recruiting
Evaluation of patients with liver disease
This research study evaluates people with liver disease or at risk for liver disease, and compares them with healthy volunteers. The goal is to better understand liver disease and improve how doctors diagnose and treat it.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–100 - NCT01496625Recruiting
Biobank study for retinal diseases and comparison samples
This study collects and stores blood and eye-related medical information to help researchers better understand retinal diseases, including age-related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy. Your samples may also be used to compare people with retinal disease to people without it.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–120 - NCT02019706RecruitingPhase 2
PET/CT scans to find the cause of ectopic Cushing syndrome
This trial tests several special imaging scans to help doctors locate the source of hormone overproduction in ectopic Cushing syndrome. It may help confirm where the problem is so treatment can be better targeted.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–80 - NCT00542230Recruiting
Blood sample study for sickle cell trait and controls
This study collects blood samples to learn more about sickle cell-related genetics and biology. You might benefit indirectly by helping researchers understand the condition, even though this is laboratory research rather than a medication trial.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT00977977RecruitingPhase 2
Rituximab plus cyclosporine for membranous kidney disease
This trial tests whether rituximab (an immune-targeting medicine) plus cyclosporine (another immune medicine) can better control protein leakage in the urine for people with idiopathic membranous nephropathy. It may help reduce long-lasting kidney damage risk when standard treatments like ACE inhibitor or ARB don’t control the protein level.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–90 - NCT00646022Recruiting
Family study of small intestine carcinoid tumors
This is a research study that follows families with small intestine carcinoid tumors (and related hormone-related tumors) to learn how these conditions progress over time. It may help doctors better predict risk and health needs for people in similar families.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT02417740Recruiting
Study of the natural course of noncirrhotic portal hypertension
This study follows people with noncirrhotic portal hypertension (NCPH) or people at risk for it to better understand how the condition progresses over time. It does not sound like a medication trial—more like careful monitoring to learn what happens in different people.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 12–100 - NCT02830308Recruiting
Adult study evaluating endocrine and metabolic health
This trial enrolls adults with known or suspected hormone (endocrine) or metabolism-related conditions for clinical evaluation. The goal is to help doctors assess and better understand what’s causing these health problems.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT02915198RecruitingPhase 4
Metformin for prediabetes to reduce heart and blood-vessel events
This trial tests whether taking metformin in people with prediabetes can lower the chance of future heart attack, stroke, or other blood-vessel problems. You may be a good fit if you have prediabetes plus existing cardiovascular disease or significant blood-vessel disease.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT03049462RecruitingPhase 1
Study how a beta-3 drug changes body fat in healthy adults
This Phase 1 study tests how chronic treatment with a beta-3–type medicine affects brown fat (a special kind of body fat) in the body. It mainly looks at safety and how the body responds over time, which could help future treatments for weight and metabolic health.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–40 - NCT03366168Recruiting
Using tongue tissue to grow stem cells in adults
This study takes a small sample from the front of your tongue to grow stem cells from your taste-bud tissue. It aims to understand whether this approach can be safely done in healthy adults and explore how the cells might be used in the future.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT07075588Recruiting
Food and coaching to lower blood pressure for Black and Hispanic adults
This study tests a program that helps people manage their blood pressure by offering healthy food choices, personal diet coaching, and text messages that match your culture. It's for Black/African American or Hispanic/Latino adults living in certain low-income areas of Maryland.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 21–70 - NCT00001160Recruiting
Study of thyroid lumps and thyroid cancer
This study looks at people who have or may have thyroid nodules (lumps in the thyroid gland in your neck) or thyroid cancer, as well as family members who may have inherited a higher risk. It aims to better understand and diagnose these thyroid problems.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 6 months–98 years - NCT00001159Recruiting
Studying how thyroid problems develop over time
This is an observational study that follows people with known or suspected thyroid problems to better understand how these conditions develop and behave. It doesn't test a new treatment, but it helps doctors learn more about thyroid disorders, which may improve care.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 6 months–98 years - NCT07444723RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
New imaging to find parathyroid tumors before surgery
This study tests two advanced imaging techniques (PET/MR and PET/CT) to find overactive parathyroid glands or tumors that need surgery. Participants get a special scan before surgery to help surgeons locate the problem more accurately.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT07217249Enrolling by invitation
Donor diabetes and cornea transplant success at 5 years
This study looks at how a donor's diabetes might affect the long-term success of a specific type of cornea transplant called DMEK. Participants from an earlier study (DEKS) will be followed for up to 5 years to see how well the transplant is doing.

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.
