Recruiting studies in Ohio
- NCT05973799Recruiting
Fasting test in people with type 1 diabetes
This study looks at how your body responds to low blood sugar during a controlled period of fasting. It may help doctors understand the natural defenses your body uses to prevent dangerous lows in type 1 diabetes.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18–45 - NCT05986292RecruitingPhase 2
Study of new treatments for chronic pain
This study tests new treatments for chronic pain that lasts at least 3 months. Participants must stop their regular pain medicines and use only a rescue painkiller if needed. The goal is to find better ways to manage long-term pain.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06055036Recruiting
Stress reduction for heart health in Black men
This study looks at how reducing stress can improve cardiovascular health in Black men. It involves lifestyle changes and support to help lower your risk of heart disease.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06078683Recruiting
Ketone drink for exercise and heart health in type 2 diabetes
This study tests whether a special ketone drink can improve exercise ability and heart function in people with type 2 diabetes. Participants will have two treadmill exercise tests and heart MRI scans to see how the drink affects their performance and cardiac efficiency.
Columbus, OhioAges 18–80 - 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.
Akron, OhioAges 55 years+ - 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.
Columbus, OhioAges 18–75 - NCT06470295RecruitingEarly Phase 1
C-peptide's effect on low blood sugar response
This study tests whether C-peptide (a substance made by the pancreas) can help your body respond better to low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). It's a very early trial for people without certain health conditions.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 18–40 - NCT06560502Recruiting
Testing new treatments for diabetic foot and leg ulcers
This trial tests whether adding a special treatment (cellular acellular and matrix-like products) to standard wound care helps diabetic foot ulcers and venous leg ulcers heal faster. It may be an option if you have a diabetes-related foot ulcer that hasn't healed with standard care.
Circleville, OhioAges 21 years+ - NCT06586970Recruiting
Meals plus therapy to prevent falls for older adults
This study tests whether adding occupational therapy and dietitian services to home-delivered meals helps older adults stay safe and reduce falls. It's for people who are homebound, can't have a caregiver cook for them, and live in central Ohio.
Columbus, OhioAges 60 years+ - NCT07027995Recruiting
Food and Fitness with Medicine
This study tests a program that combines nutrition counseling, online grocery support, and exercise sessions for people taking GLP-1 medications. It aims to help manage conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, kidney disease, or metabolic syndrome.
Upper Arlington, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07172893RecruitingPhase 4
Dermabind TL for diabetic foot ulcers
This trial tests a new wound dressing called DermaBind TL for people with diabetic foot ulcers. It aims to see if the dressing helps heal these wounds, which can be hard to treat.
Blue Ash, OhioAges 18–80 - NCT07282600RecruitingPhase 3
Study of eloralintide for type 2 diabetes and weight
This study tests a new medicine called eloralintide for people with type 2 diabetes who are overweight or have obesity. It aims to see if the drug can help with weight loss and blood sugar control.
Lima, OhioAges 18 years+ - 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.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06451757RecruitingPhase 3
A trial of sonlicromanol for mitochondrial disease
This trial tests a new medicine, sonlicromanol, for people with a specific type of mitochondrial disease (caused by the m.3243A>G mutation) who also have chronic fatigue and muscle weakness. The goal is to see if it helps improve symptoms and daily function.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07542834Recruiting
Virtual Reality Training for Medical Students
This study tests whether using virtual reality can help medical students learn better and feel more confident in their training. Researchers will compare how students learn with VR versus traditional methods.
Athens, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07587437Enrolling by invitation
Magnetic Camera Exam Before Weight-Loss Surgery
This study tests a swallowable magnetic camera to examine your stomach and small intestine before bariatric (weight-loss) surgery. The camera may help doctors plan your surgery and catch any issues beforehand.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06581120Enrolling by invitation
Stomach ultrasound study for diabetes and obesity
This study uses ultrasound to see how GLP-1 RA medications (like Ozempic) affect the stomach in people with type 2 diabetes and obesity. It may help doctors better understand how these medicines work.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 10–25 - NCT06384183Enrolling by invitation
Real-world fish skin graft registry study
This study tracks how well a fish skin graft (Kerecis) heals wounds in real patients. It helps doctors learn more about who benefits most from this treatment.
Columbus, OhioAges Any age - NCT05659147Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
MRI study of pancreas function in children with pancreatic issues
This study uses a special pancreas MRI to see how well the pancreas works and how pancreas disease changes over time. It also compares MRI findings in children with different pancreas conditions, including suspected pancreatic insufficiency and episodes of pancreatitis.

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.
