This early-stage study tests whether injections of mesenchymal stem cells can be safe and helpful for certain chronic (long-term) and acute (short-term) conditions. You might be considered if you can consent, are able to return for follow-up visits, and do not have key reasons that would make stem-cell treatment unsafe.

Karachi, SindhAges 35–65 - NCT02169518Recruiting
Testing blood fat markers in diabetes and heart health
This study measures how certain blood “fat” markers relate to blood sugar control and inflammation. It may help researchers understand risk factors for heart disease in people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, pre-diabetes, and people preparing for weight-loss surgery.
Manchester, LancashireAges 20–75 - NCT05588583Recruiting
Tracking drainage from chronic leg or foot ulcers with a dressing

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for diabetes?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 2,136 recruiting diabetes studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a diabetes trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a diabetes trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
