Recruiting studies
- NCT04485871Recruiting
Omega-3 supplements to lower diabetes risk in at-risk adults
This trial tests whether taking omega-3 fatty acids can reduce risk factors for developing diabetes in people with normal cholesterol but other risk factors. You might be asked to follow study visits and dietary/health restrictions for about 33 weeks.
Montreal, QuebecAges 45–74 - NCT04258293Recruiting
Diabetes screening for people taking steroid tablets long term
This trial checks whether people who take steroid medicines for more than 3 months are developing early diabetes, using blood tests before and around starting treatment. It may help catch diabetes sooner if it’s starting to develop, even in people who didn’t have diabetes yet.
DijonAges 18 years+ - NCT04213547Recruiting
Sleep and blood sugar control in teens with type 2 diabetes
This study looks at how sleep timing and length relate to blood sugar control in teens with type 2 diabetes. It also checks whether teens who meet certain sleep and blood-sugar targets—and can follow sleep tracking—can take part in the study and feedback sessions.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 12–20 - NCT04058639Recruiting
Custom felt dressing trial for diabetic foot ulcers
This trial tests whether a special padded (felt) dressing can help heal diabetic foot ulcers with nerve-related injury. If you have a foot wound caused by diabetic nerve problems, the study may offer a shorter treatment time.
MoldeAges 45–80 - NCT03883412RecruitingPhase 4
Exercise and liraglutide for type 2 diabetes
This study tests if combining exercise with a drug called liraglutide improves blood vessel health and insulin sensitivity in people with type 2 diabetes. It looks at whether these treatments work better together or alone.
Charlottesville, VirginiaAges 21–60 - NCT03937453Recruiting
Pancreatic cancer screening for people with new or worsening diabetes
This study checks whether regular imaging can find pancreatic cancer earlier in people who recently developed diabetes or whose diabetes is getting worse. It may help detect pancreatic problems sooner when treatment options are likely better.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 50 years+ - NCT03942081Recruiting
Imaging test for diabetic foot wounds
This study looks at how images of a current foot wound in people with diabetes can be used to help doctors. It may help improve how foot ulcers are evaluated while you receive usual care.
Iowa City, IowaAges 21–100 - NCT04024631Recruiting
Study genes and diabetes risk using body measurements
This study looks at how genetic risk relates to developing type 2 diabetes, using information from a biobank and body measurements like weight. It may help researchers better identify who is at higher risk before diabetes starts.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 10–70 - NCT03865290RecruitingPhase 2
Ondansetron for stomach nerve and motion problems in diabetes
This trial tests whether ondansetron can improve stomach “sensorimotor” problems—how the gut senses food and moves it—especially in people with diabetes and troubling indigestion. It may help reduce symptoms like early fullness, nausea, and discomfort after eating.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–75 - NCT03585153Enrolling by invitation
Pancreas imaging study in people with type 1 diabetes
This study takes pictures of the pancreas in children and teens (and likely adults) with type 1 diabetes soon after diagnosis. The goal is to learn more about how the pancreas changes with diabetes, which may help future care.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 8 years+ - NCT03658512Recruiting
Diabetes patient database for adults
This trial helps create and manage a diabetes patient database. It may help future research by collecting information from adult patients who agree to participate.
TübingenAges 18–85 - NCT03389100Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Tau PET brain scan study for people without dementia
This trial studies how tau (a protein linked to Alzheimer’s and related conditions) shows up on a special brain scan called tau PET. It also uses MRI and blood work to understand brain changes and who may be at risk, helping researchers improve future diagnosis.
New York, New YorkAges 55–69 - NCT03395509Enrolling by invitation
Free screening program for diabetes and heart risks
This study looks at how well and how cost-effective a combined health screening is for diabetes and cardiovascular (heart and blood vessel) risks. You may be invited to attend screening around your 67th birthday.
ViborgAges 67–67 - NCT03403686Recruiting
Study eye treatment target for diabetic retinopathy
This study tests a new approach aimed at improving diabetic eye disease (diabetic retinopathy). It may help by changing inflammation and related processes in the eye, especially in people who have diabetes and eye changes.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 21–98 - NCT03481283Recruiting
Testing amylin’s role in nerve pain from type 2 diabetes
This study looks at whether amylin is involved in nerve damage causing pain or numbness in the feet or hands for people with type 2 diabetes. If you qualify, you may be evaluated with nerve testing to see how your nerve function compares to the study’s targets.
Lexington, KentuckyAges 18 years+ - NCT03264352RecruitingPhase 4
Treatment for slightly high blood pressure in type 2 diabetes
This trial tests an intervention to help adults with type 2 diabetes who have “high-normal” blood pressure (not severely high). If you qualify, you may learn whether this approach improves blood pressure and related health outcomes over time.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 45–79 - NCT02734277Recruiting
Extending a past Type 1 diabetes immune study
This study is for people who already took part in an earlier immune-tolerance program for Type 1 diabetes. It tests whether continuing follow-up and assessments can be done safely and may help learn more about long-term immune effects of treatment.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 8–35 - NCT02818192Recruiting
Kid-focused study to track kidney issues in type 2 diabetes
This study follows young people with type 2 diabetes to better understand risks for kidney problems over time. It may help researchers find earlier warning signs and improve care for adolescents living with type 2 diabetes.
Winnipeg, ManitobaAges 10–18 - NCT02969798Recruiting
Study of prediabetes with abnormal sugars and medicines
This study looks at adults with prediabetes—specifically abnormal fasting and/or 2-hour blood sugar tests—to see whether a treatment helps improve sugar control. You may also be compared with people who have normal blood sugar (the control group).
San Antonio, TexasAges 18–65 - NCT01316783Enrolling by invitation
Genetics study of obesity, diabetes, and heart risk
This study looks at genetic differences in adults from African diaspora groups to better understand risks for obesity, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease. You may help scientists learn why these conditions are more common in certain communities.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT01399385Recruiting
New heart imaging to detect heart disease
This study tests new imaging techniques, like MRI and CT scans, to better see heart and blood vessel problems. It may help doctors find heart disease earlier and guide treatment.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT01511393Enrolling by invitation
Tracking people with thyroid cancer to learn its course
This study follows adults who have medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) to learn how the cancer behaves over time. It may help by improving future care and follow-up strategies for people with MTC.
Morgantown, West VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT01113216Enrolling by invitation
Genetics study for diabetes in cystic fibrosis families
This study looks at genetic (inherited DNA) factors that may influence who develops diabetes related to cystic fibrosis. Your results could help doctors better predict risk and improve care for cystic fibrosis and related diabetes.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 3 months–99 years - NCT01179815Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for diabetic?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 2,136 recruiting diabetic 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 diabetic 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 diabetic 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.
