Peanut Consumption and Fatty Liver Disease in Adults
This study tests whether eating peanuts regularly can help improve fatty liver disease (a condition where fat builds up in the liver). You'll be asked to eat peanuts as part of your diet while researchers track changes in your liver health.
Detroit, MichiganAges 30–70 - NCT01351545Recruiting
Cryopreserved cord blood access program for transplant patients
This trial studies an organized way to obtain and distribute unlicensed (not FDA-approved for general use) stored cord blood units that have been frozen and kept. It may help people who need a cord blood transplant but don’t fit the “licensed cord blood only” options.
Detroit, MichiganAges Any age - NCT07165028RecruitingPhase 3
Study of new drugs for fatty liver with scarring
This trial tests new medicines for adults with fatty liver disease (MASLD) that has already caused some liver scarring. It aims to see if these drugs can help prevent the liver disease from getting worse.
Southfield, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT06632444RecruitingPhase 3
Study of survodutide for liver disease NASH/MASH with fibrosis
This trial tests an investigational drug called survodutide for people with NASH or MASH, a type of fatty liver disease that also has liver scarring (moderate or advanced fibrosis). The goal is to see if the drug can improve the condition.
Clinton Township, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT06632457RecruitingPhase 3
Survodutide for NASH/MASH cirrhosis: a phase 3 trial
This study tests an investigational drug called survodutide for people with a type of fatty liver disease (NASH or MASH) that has progressed to cirrhosis. The goal is to see if it can improve liver health.
Clinton Township, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT06318169RecruitingPhase 3
Testing pegozafermin for MASH and liver fibrosis
This trial tests an experimental drug called pegozafermin to see if it can help people with MASH (a fatty liver disease) and liver scarring (fibrosis). It's for people who have moderate-to-advanced scarring but not cirrhosis, and who have not had other serious liver conditions or poorly controlled diabetes.
Chesterfield, MichiganAges 18–80 - NCT07321925Recruiting
Using sound waves to measure liver fat
This study tests a new method that uses sound waves to measure fat in your liver. It could help doctors check liver health without a biopsy.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT04812314Recruiting
Study how exercise changes body fat and metabolism
This study looks at how starting exercise changes the structure and function of body fat. It may help you understand how exercise affects things like cholesterol and blood sugar, even if you’re not currently exercising regularly.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18–40 - NCT05544266Recruiting
Study rare diabetes patterns to better guide diagnosis
This study looks at people who may have a “non-typical” form of diabetes, including rare genetic causes or unusual symptoms. It may help your care team understand what type of diabetes you have and whether specific genetic testing could explain it.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges Any age - NCT05806801Recruiting
Study how weight loss changes the body with or without exercise
This study looks at how your metabolism (how your body uses energy and controls blood sugar/fats) changes during weight loss, comparing weight loss alone versus weight loss plus exercise. It may help researchers understand what body changes happen with different approaches and why.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18–40 - NCT06007404Recruiting
Understanding metabolism and inflammation in teens
This study looks at how metabolism and inflammation relate to diabetes risk in teenagers. It may help researchers understand why some teens develop type 2 diabetes.

What taking part in a metabolic disease 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.
