A study on a diabetes drug for metabolic syndrome
This trial tests if empagliflozin, a medication typically used for diabetes, can help people with metabolic syndrome (a cluster of conditions like large waist size, high blood sugar, and high blood pressure). It may improve health and reduce the risk of heart disease.
Hong KongAges 18–85 - NCT05216042Recruiting
Study of genetics and heart/metabolic health in adults
This study looks at how genetic markers (DNA) relate to heart health and “metabolic” health (how your body manages sugar and fat). You may be asked to provide genetic samples and follow study health checks and protocols to help researchers understand who is at higher risk.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT07314489RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Glucose and enzyme function in chronic pancreatitis
This study looks at how chronic pancreatitis affects blood sugar and digestion. It tests if your body makes enough enzymes and how your sugar control changes over time.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06925997RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Bile acids after gastric bypass: metabolic effects study
This trial looks at how bile acids affect metabolism in people who have had gastric bypass surgery. It compares three groups: those who had diabetes before surgery, those without diabetes, and those with type 2 diabetes.
HvidovreAges 18 years+ - NCT06232889Recruiting
Imaging study to check liver tumor response to radiation treatment
This study uses special MRI scans and PET scans to see how liver tumors respond to a radiation treatment called radioembolization (SIRT). The goal is to improve how treatment response is measured in people with metastatic liver disease.
UtrechtAges 18 years+ - NCT06274749Recruiting
Urolithin A for blood sugar in adults 55+ with extra weight
This study tests if a natural supplement called Urolithin A can help improve how your body handles sugar (glucose) in healthy adults aged 55 and older who have a higher body weight. You would take a daily capsule and come in for tests including blood work, treadmill walks, and an MRI.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 55–100 - NCT07656298Recruiting
Sweetener preference study for healthy adults
This study tests how different sweeteners affect your body if you have a sweet tooth. If you are generally healthy and like sweet foods or drinks, you may be able to join.
Málaga, MalagaAges 18–65 - NCT07482020RecruitingPhase 2
SGLT2 inhibitor for atrial fibrillation, high blood pressure, and high blood sugar
This study tests whether a medication called an SGLT2 inhibitor (a type of diabetes drug) can improve the function of the upper left heart chamber in people who have paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, high blood pressure, and abnormal blood sugar levels. If you qualify, the trial may help your heart work better and reduce your risk of stroke.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07415707Recruiting
Reducing alcohol and taking probiotics for brain health in older adults

BeirutAges 18–45 - NCT07212868RecruitingPhase 1
How glucagon affects blood sugar after weight loss surgery
This study looks at how the hormone glucagon affects blood sugar in people who have had gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy surgery more than a year ago, compared to people who have not had any gastrointestinal surgery. It aims to understand glucose metabolism better and may help improve care for people after bariatric surgery.
San Antonio, TexasAges 18–65 - NCT07102043Enrolling by invitation

Metformin for blood sugar issues from statins in schizophrenia
This trial tests whether metformin can help prevent or manage blood sugar problems that may arise when people with schizophrenia take statins (cholesterol-lowering drugs). If you have schizophrenia, are on a stable medication routine, and have high cholesterol but not diabetes, this study might be an option.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for glucose metabolism?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 96 recruiting glucose metabolism 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 glucose metabolism 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 glucose metabolism 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.
