Imaging brown fat activity with ultrasound
This study uses a special camera (photoacoustic/ultrasound) to look at a type of fat called 'brown fat' that helps your body burn energy. You may be able to join as a healthy volunteer or if you have a condition like type 2 diabetes or PCOS.
BeijingAges 18–80 - NCT07624500Recruiting
How Different Foods Affect Your Metabolism and Blood Sugar
This study tests how specific foods impact your body's ability to manage blood sugar and fat levels. You'll eat meals provided by the research team for about 12 weeks to help researchers understand which foods work best for people with high triglycerides (a type of blood fat) and insulin resistance (difficulty managing blood sugar).
Chicago, IllinoisAges 40–70 - NCT07374705Recruiting
Brain insulin resistance and health in diabetes
This study looks at how insulin resistance in the brain affects brain health. If you have type 1 or type 2 diabetes and are between 50 and 80 years old, you may be able to join to help researchers understand brain changes.
Glostrup MunicipalityAges 50–80 - NCT01224886Recruiting
Study of age-related insulin resistance and exercise
This study looks at how age affects the way your body uses insulin (a hormone that helps move sugar into cells), and how lifestyle or exercise may change that. It may help you understand insulin resistance and whether changes in activity could improve blood sugar control.
BernAges 60–80 - NCT01143480Recruiting
Testing how the body responds to endotoxin
This study checks how your immune system (your body’s defense system) reacts to a controlled substance that triggers inflammation. It may help researchers understand why some people have stronger or weaker inflammatory responses.
Research Triangle Park, North CarolinaAges 18–100 - NCT02208141Recruiting
Child body growth study with planned surgery
This study follows children’s body growth and fat (adipose) tissue as part of a planned surgical procedure. It aims to improve understanding of how fat tissue develops in childhood and what factors may affect health later.
Leipzig, SaxonyAges Any age - NCT02861781Recruiting
Collecting body tissue samples during bariatric surgery
This study collects small tissue samples during planned weight-loss surgery to better understand metabolism and how insulin works in people with and without type 2 diabetes. You may help researchers by allowing their team to take these samples while you are already having surgery.
MontpellierAges 18–65 - 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 - NCT02947503RecruitingPhase 3
Metformin for gestational diabetes in pregnancy outcomes
This study tests whether taking metformin during pregnancy improves outcomes for people with gestational diabetes. It may help with pregnancy health and baby outcomes compared with the study’s other diabetes care plan.
GroningenAges 18–45 - NCT07599072Recruiting
Blood Sugar Monitoring Study for Prediabetes
This study tracks how blood sugar levels change in people with prediabetes (higher-than-normal blood sugar but not yet diabetes). Researchers will use a small sensor to monitor your blood sugar and help understand what affects it, which could help prevent or delay type 2 diabetes.
KyivAges 18 years+ - NCT07400367Recruiting
Probiotics and lifestyle changes for fatty liver disease
This trial tests whether taking probiotics plus making lifestyle changes can improve fatty liver and metabolic health. You may qualify if you have liver fat and at least one sign of metabolic problems like high blood sugar or high blood pressure.
New Taipei CityAges 18–80 - NCT07415720Recruiting
Artichoke and Mediterranean diet to prevent type 2 diabetes
This study tests whether a special extract from artichoke by-products, combined with a Mediterranean diet, can help prevent type 2 diabetes in people who are at risk. It aims to improve how your body handles sugar and insulin.
Pamplona, NavarreAges 18–75 - NCT07460856Recruiting
Can Cranberries Improve Your Gut and Metabolic Health?
This study tests if eating cranberries can improve your gut health and metabolism. It’s for people who are overweight and have early signs of metabolic problems, like high blood sugar or high triglycerides.
Québec, QuebecAges 25–70 - NCT07483723Recruiting
Glucose patterns in women with PCOS
This study looks at glucose levels in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) using a continuous glucose monitor. It may help understand how blood sugar changes in women with PCOS.
SalouëlAges 18 years+ - NCT07501858Recruiting
H. pylori and insulin resistance in metabolic syndrome
This study looks at whether a common stomach infection (H. pylori) affects insulin resistance in people with metabolic syndrome. It uses simple tests like a breath test, stool sample, and blood draw to check if treating the infection could help improve metabolic health.
Novosibirsk, Novosibirsk OblastAges 18–65 - 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.
Knoxville, TennesseeAges 18–45 - NCT07551960Enrolling by invitation
Testing a Health Risk Prevention Platform for Adults
This study tests a digital platform called STELA that helps adults reduce their risk of heart disease and stroke by identifying and managing modifiable health factors like diet, exercise, and stress. You'll complete health assessments online to see if this preventive approach works.

MG53 protein levels in women with PCOS
This study measures a protein called MG53 in the blood of women with and without PCOS to see if it could be a marker for the condition. If you have PCOS and are not taking certain medications, you may be able to join and help researchers better understand the disease.

Step counting for fatty liver disease management
This trial tests if using a pedometer to track daily steps can help people with a type of fatty liver disease (called MASLD) become more active and improve their health. It may be a good fit if you are not already very active and want to try a simple way to manage your condition.
Bangkoknoi, BangkokAges 18 years+ - NCT05530356Enrolling by invitation
Study of kidney blood flow and insulin resistance in youth
This study looks at how well insulin is working and how the kidneys use energy by measuring kidney blood flow. It compares obese young people with and without type 2 diabetes to lean controls, using a PET scan (a special imaging test).
Aurora, ColoradoAges 12–26 - NCT04209816Enrolling by invitation
Genetics study on fatty liver and cholesterol problems
This is a research study testing whether specific gene changes are linked to fatty liver and a cholesterol pattern that raises heart risk. It may help researchers understand who is most likely to develop these conditions and why, which could guide future prevention.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for insulin resistance?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 121 recruiting insulin resistance 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 insulin resistance 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 insulin resistance 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.
