Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–40 - NCT06737224Recruiting
Fasting and exercise effects on immune health
This study looks at how a 48-hour fast, alone or combined with exercise, affects your immune system and blood sugar control. It may help explain how short-term fasting can improve health in active young adults.
Kelowna, British ColumbiaAges 19–35 - NCT06373016Recruiting
Ketone drink study for stable bipolar disorder
This study tests whether a ketone drink can change how the body uses energy in people with bipolar disorder. It may help understand new ways to manage the condition.
Belmont, MassachusettsAges 18–45 - NCT07013916Recruiting
Fructose and liver health in fatty liver disease
This study looks at how a sugar called fructose affects inflammation and metabolism in people with a type of fatty liver disease called MASH. It aims to find out if fructose plays a role in making the disease worse.
LondonAges 45–65 - NCT07314944Recruiting
Sleep, lifestyle, and health in gestational diabetes
This study looks at how sleep, lifestyle, and metabolic health affect pregnancy outcomes in women newly diagnosed with gestational diabetes. If you join, you may help researchers understand how daily habits and sleep patterns influence your health and your baby's health.
SplitAges 18 years+ - NCT04785989Recruiting
Blood and marrow testing to study metabolism in CLL
This study measures how your body’s metabolism works in people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). It uses blood tests, and for some people, a bone marrow sample, to better understand what’s happening and potentially guide future treatments.
Madison, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT04055428RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a hormone supplement to improve heart and metabolic health
This study tests whether adding a natriuretic peptide medicine improves heart health and metabolism in Black adults. It may help with blood pressure and related health markers, but you must meet specific health and safety criteria.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05723913Recruiting
Test functional foods on blood sugar and gut bacteria
This study looks at how eating specific functional foods affects blood sugar after meals and changes in gut bacteria. It may help people understand ways to support healthy blood sugar and digestion, but it’s not for people with diabetes.
Mexico City, Mexico CityAges 18–60 - NCT05736367Recruiting
Study tumor metabolism in certain types of breast cancer surgery
This study looks at how breast cancer cells use energy and nutrients in hormone-receptor positive, HER2-negative tumors during planned surgery. It may help researchers understand the cancer better by comparing tumor tissue with nearby normal tissue.
New Brunswick, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07481578Recruiting
Exercise and gut health study for active men
This study looks at how your training load affects your gut bacteria and how that relates to exercise performance and muscle health. It may help understand overreaching in healthy men.
Leuven, Vlaams BrabantAges 18–45 - NCT06003153RecruitingPhase 4
Gene and sugar response study with oral semaglutide
This study looks at how your genes affect your body's response to a diabetes medication called semaglutide. It may help people with slightly high blood sugar (pre-diabetes) understand why some respond better than others.

How the body handles carbs after gastric bypass and low blood sugar
This study looks at how the body handles carbohydrates after eating in people who have had gastric bypass surgery, with or without post-surgery hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). The goal is to understand why some people get low blood sugar after meals and how to better manage it.

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.
