Recruiting studies in Ohio
- NCT06783309RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing CNP-103 for newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes
This trial tests a new study drug called CNP-103 for people ages 12-35 who were recently diagnosed (within 6 months) with stage 3 type 1 diabetes. The goal is to see if the drug can help preserve the body's ability to make some insulin, potentially slowing the need for more insulin shots.

Cleveland, OhioAges 18–75 - NCT06046833Recruiting
Continuous glucose monitoring for diabetic gastroparesis
This study tests whether a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) can help manage blood sugar in people with diabetes and gastroparesis (slow stomach emptying). If you have type 1 or type 2 diabetes and stomach symptoms, this could help doctors better understand your glucose patterns.

Zenagamtide for diabetes and weight loss
This study compares a new once-weekly injection to lower blood sugar levels against a standard daily injection in people with type 2 diabetes who are at high risk for heart problems. It aims to find out if the new medicine is more effective in managing blood sugar and body weight.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 45 years+ - NCT07662135RecruitingPhase 3
A study of elecoglipron for type 2 diabetes with kidney problems
This trial tests a new medicine called elecoglipron to see if it helps control blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes who also have reduced kidney function. You would continue taking your current SGLT2i medication (like dapagliflozin).

Elecoglipron vs semaglutide for type 2 diabetes
This study tests an experimental diabetes pill (elecoglipron) to see if it works as well as a current medicine, semaglutide, for people with type 2 diabetes who also have heart risk factors. It aims to help better control blood sugar and weight.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07632001Recruiting
Miro3D Wound Matrix for Diabetic Foot Ulcers
This trial tests a new wound-healing product called Miro3D to help diabetic foot ulcers heal better. You would receive this product along with standard wound care to see if it helps your ulcer close faster than standard treatment alone.
Columbus, OhioAges 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.
Maumee, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07154251Recruiting
Community health workers as diabetes tech coaches for kids

Children who are already using or have used this system in the past 3 months may qualify.
Cleveland, OhioAges 5–17 - NCT05662462Recruiting
Phone coaching to keep blood sugar in range during pregnancy

Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT02986984Recruiting
Kidney biopsy study for people with diabetic kidney disease
This study aims to learn more about diabetic nephropathy (kidney problems caused by diabetes) using planned kidney tissue samples. You may benefit by helping researchers understand the disease better, and you may be eligible if you already have a medically needed kidney biopsy scheduled.
Columbus, OhioAges 18–100 - NCT07852338RecruitingPhase 3
Placental graft for diabetic foot ulcers
This trial tests a treatment made from placental tissue, called Bioxheal, which is placed on a diabetic foot ulcer to help it heal. It compares this treatment to standard care alone.
Boardman, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06184373Recruiting
Early glucose monitoring after gestational diabetes pilot
This study tests a continuous glucose monitor (a small patch that tracks your blood sugar) for a few weeks after you give birth. It aims to see if this tool can help women who recently had gestational diabetes better understand their blood sugar levels after delivery.
Columbus, OhioAges 18–50 - NCT07676565Recruiting
Adding new drugs to insulin for type 1 diabetes
This study tests whether adding certain diabetes pills (GLP-1 receptor agonists or SGLT inhibitors) to insulin is safe and helpful for adults with type 1 diabetes. Doctors will check your glucose monitor data to see how well this works.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06321302RecruitingPhase 2
Study of BI 764524 for diabetic retinopathy

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 Ohio?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 95 recruiting diabetes studies with a site in Ohio, 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 Ohio?
- 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 Ohio to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Ohio, 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 Ohio 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.
