Recruiting studies in Ohio
- NCT07717554Recruiting
Virtual yoga for diabetic stomach-pain relief

CGM for early detection of high blood sugar in pregnancy
This study is testing whether wearing a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) early in pregnancy can help find and manage high blood sugar, which may lower the risk of problems for you and your baby. You would wear a small sensor under your skin, and the device sends information to a smartphone app.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06628908RecruitingPhase 3
Study of suzetrigine for painful diabetic nerve damage

Study of suzetrigine for diabetic nerve pain
This trial tests an experimental pain drug called suzetrigine for people with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage from diabetes that causes pain in the feet and legs). It aims to see if the drug can safely reduce pain over time.
Beachwood, OhioAges 18–80 - NCT07285018RecruitingPhase 2

Mixed meal test to study diabetes from pancreas conditions
This study uses a special blood-sugar test (a mixed meal) to better diagnose and understand diabetes related to pancreatic cancer or chronic pancreatitis, and to compare it with other diabetes types. It may help researchers find clearer ways to tell these diabetes causes apart and understand how they work.
Columbus, OhioAges 30–84 - NCT05758545Recruiting
Device treatment for diabetic foot ulcers with poor blood flow
This trial tests whether COMS One is safe and effective for healing a specific diabetic foot ulcer. It may help people whose ulcer is not healing well, especially when blood flow to the foot is limited.

Study on risk factors for type 2 diabetes in youth
This study looks for children and teens who are at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes to understand what factors lead to it. If your child is overweight, has slightly high blood sugar, and is in early to mid-puberty, they may be able to join.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 8–15 - NCT06694558Recruiting
Monocytes in type 1 diabetes and kidney disease study
This study looks at immune cells (monocytes) in people with type 1 diabetes, with or without early kidney problems. Researchers want to understand how these cells differ between groups. You may be able to join if you have type 1 diabetes and use an insulin pump or injections along with a continuous glucose monitor (CGM).
Cleveland, OhioAges 18–65 - NCT06618612Recruiting
Wound matrix for diabetic foot ulcers
This study tests if a special wound dressing (collagen matrix with antimicrobial) plus standard care helps diabetic foot ulcers heal better than standard care alone. It's for people with diabetes who have a foot sore that hasn't healed for at least 4 weeks.
Clevland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06681428Recruiting
Amniotic tissue treatment for diabetic foot ulcers

Circleville, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06739122RecruitingPhase 3
A study of dulaglutide for children with type 2 diabetes
This trial tests if a weekly injection of dulaglutide (Trulicity) can help children with type 2 diabetes control their blood sugar when used together with metformin and/or insulin. It may be an option for kids who are overweight.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 10–17 - NCT06897475RecruitingPhase 2
Study of LY3457263 for type 2 diabetes on semaglutide or tirzepatide
This study tests if adding LY3457263 helps lower blood sugar in people with type 2 diabetes who are already taking a stable dose of semaglutide or tirzepatide. You will be randomly assigned to get either LY3457263 or a placebo.
Dayton, OhioAges 18–75 - NCT07029009RecruitingPhase 2

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 91 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.
