St Louis, MissouriAges 12–17 - NCT05307367Recruiting
Study exercise and body muscle changes in advanced lung cancer
This study looks at why cancer can cause loss of muscle in people with advanced non–small cell lung cancer, and whether exercise can improve or explain those muscle changes. You may be asked to do physical testing and answer questionnaires while receiving standard palliative cancer treatment.
Copenhagen, DKAges 18–100 - NCT05337098Recruiting

Therapy plus exercise for teens at risk of type 2 diabetes
This trial tests whether a combination of coaching (cognitive-behavioral therapy) and exercise can improve mood and help teens who are at higher risk for type 2 diabetes. It may be especially helpful if you’re dealing with depression symptoms and a family history of type 2 diabetes.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 12–17 - NCT05548205Recruiting
Glucose monitoring for people starting insulin after hospital discharge
This study checks whether using a continuous glucose monitor for 2 weeks after you leave the hospital helps you manage blood sugar better when you are newly starting insulin. It may help your care team adjust insulin and track glucose trends more closely right after discharge.
Mineola, New YorkAges 18–100 - NCT05597709Recruiting
Study diabetes patients to measure MAFLD in Jiangsu
This study checks how common a condition called MAFLD is among people with type 2 diabetes in Jiangsu, China. It may help doctors understand how often this liver-related problem occurs and guide future care for people with type 2 diabetes.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT05753657RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Testing insulin and blood sugar monitoring with pioglitazone
This early study tests whether adding pioglitazone, along with close blood-sugar (glucose/insulin) monitoring, can help control high insulin and high blood sugar in people starting alpelisib for metastatic breast cancer. It may help reduce blood-sugar side effects from alpelisib.
HaifaAges 18–85 - NCT05760339Recruiting
Intermittent fasting vs carbohydrate drinks before elective surgery
This study compares two ways of eating before planned (elective) orthopedic surgery: intermittent fasting versus carbohydrate drinks. It aims to see which approach is safer and works better around the time of surgery.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT05795439Recruiting
Plant-based nutrition program for adults with type 2 diabetes
This study tests whether a structured plant-based diet plan, weekly online classes, and keeping exercise routine steady can improve health in adults with type 2 diabetes. You may qualify if you’re able and willing to follow the program for the first 16 weeks.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05899023Recruiting
Diabetes screening after an ER visit
This trial checks for signs of diabetes using a blood test (HbA1c) after an emergency room visit, then links eligible people to outpatient care. It may help you find diabetes earlier and get follow-up treatment sooner.
New York, New YorkAges 20–70 - NCT05912348Recruiting
Study of how an unhealthy lifestyle affects active young adults
This study looks at how eating or daily habits that promote weight gain (“obesogenic” lifestyle) affect fitness and health markers in young adults who already exercise. It may help researchers understand what lifestyle changes matter most, and whether certain patterns affect active people differently.
Durham, New HampshireAges 18–30 - NCT05933499RecruitingPhase 2
Tirzepatide and bimagrumab for body fat and insulin sensitivity
This Phase 2 study tests two medicines to see how they change body fat, insulin sensitivity, and bone health in adults with obesity. It may help people who have tried lifestyle changes to lose weight but have not been able to, though diabetes and several health conditions must be ruled out first.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05946785RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Study of blood-vessel changes after gestational diabetes
This early-stage study looks at how “oxidative stress” (cell damage from stress molecules) may affect small blood vessels after pregnancy, especially in people who had gestational diabetes. The goal is to better understand what’s going on and whether these changes could be linked to future health risks.
Iowa City, IowaAges 18–50 - NCT05958368Recruiting
Avocado study to improve blood sugar in type 2 diabetes
This study tests whether eating avocados can improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes. You may have blood tests and will follow a specific eating plan while your diabetes care continues under your doctor.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for insulin?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 350 recruiting insulin 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 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 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.
