Study of metabolism, infections, and immunity in mitochondrial disease
This study looks at how the body’s energy metabolism (metabolism), infection risk, and immune responses work in people with mitochondrial disease. It may help researchers understand why symptoms happen and how to better monitor health over time.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–115 - NCT05903950Recruiting
Air pollution study to help lower blood pressure
This trial tests whether an air-pollution–reduction approach in your home can help lower blood pressure. It focuses on adults with mildly high blood pressure and certain metabolic health markers.
DohaAges 18–60 - NCT07403669Recruiting

Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT02692885Recruiting
Study body fat tissue to learn how it affects metabolism
This study looks at samples of body fat to understand what controls metabolism (how your body uses energy). You may be asked for a fat tissue sample during surgery or through a special biopsy scan, depending on your situation.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–90 - NCT07202494Recruiting
Brain aging and resilience MRI study
This study uses powerful MRI scans to understand how the brain ages and why some people stay healthy while others develop neurological diseases like multiple sclerosis or Alzheimer's. It compares healthy volunteers to people with certain conditions, and all participants get a detailed brain MRI.
MarseilleAges 18–90 - NCT07119424Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for metabolic disease?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 364 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.
