Evening protein shake for night shift workers’ metabolic health
This study tests whether eating a protein preload in the evening (often called a protein “shake/meal” before sleep) can improve metabolic health in night shift workers. It aims to see if this timing and protein intake helps measures related to metabolism while working nights.

Testing heart scan measurements in severe aortic valve narrowing
This trial compares two pressure-based measurements of blood flow in the coronary arteries with a PET heart scan in people with severe aortic valve stenosis. It may help doctors choose the most accurate way to assess blood flow and guide care during valve treatment.
Bad Oeynhausen, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 65 years+ - NCT04902807Recruiting
Tool to help decide diagnosis and treatment in immune disorders
This trial tests a tool (a way of collecting health information) to help doctors make better diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment decisions for children with certain immune problems. It also includes healthy children (like relatives) as comparison groups, to see how well the tool works.

Testing a water-jet treatment to heal certain foot and leg wounds
This trial tests a new “micro water jet” device (Debritom+) to help heal specific hard-to-heal wounds in people who can attend frequent visits. If you qualify, you’ll be assigned to the device treatment or standard care and monitored to see how well the wound heals.
Bradenton, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04927416RecruitingPhase 2
Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT scan in metastatic thyroid cancer
This study tests whether a specific special scan (68-Gallium DOTATATE PET/CT) can help doctors better see where thyroid cancer has spread. It focuses on certain types of thyroid cancer and compares how well the scan images metastases.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–98 - NCT06325722Recruiting
Low fat vs. low carb diet order and body fat change
This study compares how the order of low fat versus low carb diets affects body fat changes. It may help you understand which diet sequence works best for weight loss.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–50 - NCT04934228RecruitingPhase 1
Study targeting inflammation in people with obesity and high blood pressure
This Phase 1 study looks at a treatment aimed at reducing “inflammation patterns” that are common in obesity and insulin resistance. If you meet specific health and lab criteria, you may be asked to visit a research lab and provide blood samples to see how the treatment affects your body.
Kansas City, KansasAges 18–79 - NCT04940962Recruiting
Study of fat tissue in obesity and type 2 diabetes
This study looks at a specific receptor (CB1) in abdominal fat tissue to understand how it affects fat-related chemicals in the body. Your participation would involve giving consent and having a tissue sample taken during planned internal (visceral) surgery.
DijonAges 18–80 - NCT04943861Recruiting
Study on HIV and food insecurity support
This study is looking at food insecurity in adults living with HIV. It may help improve understanding of the barriers to healthy living and guide better support for people affected by HIV.
Winston-Salem, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT04962711Recruiting
Risk-guided plan to prevent heart failure after cancer treatment
This trial tests whether a personalized, risk-based heart care plan can help prevent heart failure in people who had certain cancer treatments. It focuses on monitoring and guiding treatment, using heart ultrasound results and other health factors.
Melbourne, VictoriaAges 40–85 - NCT04969926Recruiting
Study of parathyroid problems in children and adults
This is an observational study that follows people who have or may develop parathyroid-related conditions. The goal is to better understand how these problems change over time and what patterns show up, which can help improve future care.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 6 months–100 years - NCT04983823Recruiting
Study aims to improve long-term heart effects after COVID
This trial looks at how persistent heart-related changes after a past COVID infection may be affected by study treatments. It mainly seeks people who are stable enough for follow-up visits and heart imaging, and who are not already on the specific heart medications required.
Melbourne, VictoriaAges 50–85 - NCT04984226RecruitingPhase 2
Sodium bicarbonate for kidney disease energy and acidity
This trial studies whether taking sodium bicarbonate changes “energy” in cells and improves metabolic acidosis (an acid build-up) in people with moderate-to-severe chronic kidney disease. You may be able to join if your kidney function and blood bicarbonate levels fit their targets and you meet safety rules.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 21–85 - NCT05000996Recruiting
Gut microbiome study for people having metabolic surgery
This study looks at your gut bacteria (your “microbiome”) around the time of metabolic surgery. It may help researchers understand how surgery affects gut health and related conditions like diabetes, blood pressure, and cholesterol.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 21–65 - NCT05007990Recruiting
Interview study of caregiving networks over a person’s life
This study uses interviews and questionnaires to better understand who makes up a caregiver’s support network when caring for someone with a long-term health condition. Your answers may help researchers understand how caregiving changes over time and across different health situations.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT05009433Recruiting
Exercise plans in pregnancy and afterward for mom and baby health
This study compares two types of exercise—short, intense intervals versus moderate steady activity—during pregnancy and looks at effects on mothers and children. It also checks how participants do on health, fitness, and well-being tests before, during, and after pregnancy.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for diabetes?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 2,208 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.
