- NCT03407833Enrolling by invitation
Study changes in the body after weight, gut, or liver treatment
This study looks at how the body’s insulin-sensitivity (how well your body uses sugar/insulin) and organ function change after certain medical procedures. It may help researchers understand why some people improve after surgery or liver transplant and guide future care.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - 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.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 21–85 - NCT02646475RecruitingPhase 1
Study angiotensin medicine to improve metabolism in obesity
This Phase 1 study tests how a medication that affects the body’s angiotensin system (angiotensin-(1-7)) changes metabolism in adults with obesity, insulin resistance, and high blood pressure. It may help researchers understand whether this approach can improve blood sugar/insulin function and related body changes.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18–60 - NCT07565727Recruiting
Heart Health and Metabolism in Early Pregnancy
This study looks at how the body processes sugar and nutrients during pregnancy in women at higher risk for pre-eclampsia (a serious pregnancy condition with high blood pressure). Researchers want to understand if taking low-dose aspirin helps protect heart and metabolic health. You'll have blood tests, body composition scans, and metabolic measurements.

What taking part in a insulin resistance study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.

Common questions
- Are there insulin resistance clinical trials in Tennessee?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 4 recruiting insulin resistance studies with a site in Tennessee, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a insulin resistance study in Tennessee?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in Tennessee to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Tennessee, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a insulin resistance trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
Not the right time?
