Ketone Body Metabolism clinical trials
Below are recruiting ketone body metabolism clinical trials, each written for real people, not researchers. We’re tracking 10 recruiting studies, each written for real people, not researchers, below.
Recruiting studies
- NCT06078683Recruiting
Ketone drink for exercise and heart health in type 2 diabetes
This study tests whether a special ketone drink can improve exercise ability and heart function in people with type 2 diabetes. Participants will have two treadmill exercise tests and heart MRI scans to see how the drink affects their performance and cardiac efficiency.
Columbus, OhioAges 18–80 - NCT07359625Recruiting
Study on ketone drinks and insulin health
This study tests if drinking a ketone supplement can improve how your body responds to insulin, which affects blood sugar control.
Aarhus NAges 55–70 - NCT07527156RecruitingPhase 4
Ketones through a nose tube for severe heart failure
This trial tests whether giving a special liquid diet (ketones) through a thin tube in your nose helps your heart pump better when it's severely weakened and not getting enough blood to your body. Ketones are an alternative fuel your body can use instead of glucose.
Prague, PragueAges 18 years+ - NCT07718048Recruiting
MCT drink study for healthy young adults
This trial tests how different forms of MCT (medium-chain triglyceride) oils affect your body's ketone levels, blood fats, and blood sugar. It is for healthy adults aged 18 to 40 who want to help researchers understand these effects.
MilanAges 18–40 - NCT07082309Recruiting
How ketone drinks affect muscle protein in healthy adults
This trial tests whether a ketone monoester drink can change how your body builds muscle protein. It may help researchers understand if these supplements could benefit muscle health.
Exeter, DevonAges 18–40 - NCT06746805Recruiting
Ketone drink and exercise fuel use in trained cyclists
This study tests if drinking a ketone supplement before exercise changes how your body uses carbs for fuel. It may help trained cyclists and triathletes understand fuel efficiency.
Maastricht, LimburgAges 18–50 - NCT06815237RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Ketone supplement and alcohol effects on brain metabolism
This study looks at how a ketone supplement and alcohol affect your brain's metabolism. You will be asked to visit the lab, have an MRI, and possibly take the supplement or drink alcohol.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 21–65 - NCT06559995RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Ketone drink for alcohol withdrawal
This study tests whether a special ketone drink can ease alcohol withdrawal and help your brain heal. If you have been drinking heavily for at least 3 years and are having withdrawal symptoms now, this might be an option for you.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18–65 - NCT05015881Enrolling by invitationPhase 2/Phase 3
Brain and heart scans in alcohol use disorder
This study uses special brain and heart scans to see how sugar (glucose) is used in people with alcohol use disorder compared with people without it. It may help researchers understand the brain–heart connection in alcohol use disorder.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 21–65 - 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

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for ketone body metabolism?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 10 recruiting ketone body 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 ketone body 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 ketone body 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.
