Can healthy diets with plant oils improve heart health?
This study tests if adding plant oils to a healthy diet can improve cholesterol and other heart health markers in people with moderately high cholesterol. It involves following a specific meal plan and having your health monitored over several weeks.
University Park, PennsylvaniaAges 25–60 - NCT05242315RecruitingPhase 4
Long-acting tacrolimus after liver transplant
This trial studies whether taking an extended-release form of tacrolimus (a medicine to prevent transplant rejection) after a liver transplant works well for people who are followed at the University of Alberta. It may help simplify dosing and monitor safety and effectiveness after transplant.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT05223530Recruiting
Study of how pregnancy programs future child health
This study follows mothers who previously joined two specific pregnancy research programs, to understand why some children may be more likely to develop weight and heart-related health problems later. If you were part of those original studies, your information could help researchers look for early predictors and prevention ideas.
HelsinkiAges 11–55 - NCT06660524RecruitingPhase 4
Calcium-phosphorus therapy for heart valve disease
This trial tests a treatment to lower high calcium and phosphorus levels in your blood, which may slow down calcium buildup in heart valves. It may help people with kidney problems who have valve disease.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 50 years+ - NCT07083336Recruiting
Diet study for type 2 diabetes with fatty liver disease
This trial tests a specific medical nutrition therapy diet to see if it can reduce liver fat and improve blood sugar control in people with type 2 diabetes and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. It may help you manage both conditions with a dietary approach.
Yichang, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06559878Enrolling by invitation
Liver Mitochondria Study in Fatty Liver Disease
This study looks at how the liver's mitochondria (the energy powerhouses of cells) work in people with fatty liver disease. Participants will have an MRI scan and receive a small amount of fat solution through an IV to see how the liver processes fat.
Helsinki, UusimaaAges 18–75 - NCT02830308Recruiting
Adult study evaluating endocrine and metabolic health
This trial enrolls adults with known or suspected hormone (endocrine) or metabolism-related conditions for clinical evaluation. The goal is to help doctors assess and better understand what’s causing these health problems.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT06852612Recruiting
Dietary strategies for glycogen storage disease type I
This trial tests different diet strategies to help adults with GSDI (a metabolic condition also known as von Gierke disease) maintain stable blood sugars and avoid dangerous drops. It may help you learn how to better manage your condition through diet.
BernAges 18 years+ - NCT06511297Recruiting
How aging and weight affect health: a deep-dive study
This study looks at how aging and body weight affect health and metabolism. Researchers will collect detailed measurements (like scans and blood tests) to understand why some people age better than others. You may join if you are in one of five age/weight groups.
Vienna, State of ViennaAges 18 years+ - NCT07564947Enrolling by invitation
Reishi Mushroom for Fatty Liver Disease
This study tests whether Ganoderma lucidum (reishi mushroom) can improve liver health and reduce inflammation in people with fatty liver disease. Researchers will measure how it affects your liver function and antioxidant levels.
Peshawar, Khyber PakhtunkhwaAges 35–49 - 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+ - NCT07646197Recruiting
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 - NCT07246421Recruiting
Glucagon resistance in fatty liver and diabetes
This study looks at how people with fatty liver and type 2 diabetes respond to glucagon, a hormone that helps control blood sugar. It may help researchers understand a condition called 'glucagon resistance' and find better treatments.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for metabolic disease?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 349 recruiting metabolic disease 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 metabolic disease 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 metabolic disease 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.
