Study of muscle fat in fatty liver disease
This study looks at how fat in the muscles may affect liver disease in people with fatty liver and related conditions like obesity or diabetes. It aims to better understand the connection between muscle fat and liver health.
BrusselsAges 18–75 - NCT04573283Recruiting
Study of fatty liver in adults in China
This study follows adults with fatty liver to learn more about how it progresses and what patterns are common. It may help improve future ways of identifying and monitoring fatty liver.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT05398783Recruiting
Study of how metabolism and body composition change over time
This natural history study follows people to understand how metabolism and body composition vary in health and disease. It may help researchers better measure metabolic changes and understand who is at risk as health and treatments change.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–99 - 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 - NCT06374875RecruitingPhase 4
Does metabolic surgery reduce liver scarring?
This study tests if weight loss surgery can improve liver fibrosis (scarring) in people with obesity and advanced liver disease. It may help those considering surgery to know if their liver health can get better.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18–75 - NCT05516277Recruiting
Insomnia care study for older adults with PTSD
This study tests a treatment plan for insomnia (trouble sleeping) in older adults who also have post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The goal is to see whether improving sleep also supports heart and metabolic health (such as blood sugar and heart-related measures).
North Hills, CaliforniaAges 50 years+ - NCT05838950Recruiting
Short high-intensity exercise program for cardiometabolic health
This trial studies whether a structured, short high-intensity exercise program can improve health markers related to weight, blood sugar, and blood fats in young adults with obesity. It may help you see if this kind of exercise leads to measurable health improvements.
Syracuse, New YorkAges 18–25 - NCT07343336Recruiting
Study of gout in French Polynesia
This study looks at gout in people of Polynesian ancestry to learn more about its causes and how it affects people. It may help improve diagnosis and treatment for this community.
Faa'aAges 18–75 - NCT06463223Enrolling by invitation
Liver imaging study for children with obesity
This study uses MRI scans to look at the livers of children with obesity, to find early signs of liver problems. It may help doctors understand how to protect the liver in children.
Gothenburg, Västra Götaland CountyAges 9–14 - NCT06320782Enrolling by invitation
Diet and belly fat study for overweight adults
This study tests how different diets affect belly fat, thigh muscle, and heart health in people who are overweight. It might help you find a way to eat that improves your health.
Recife, PernambucoAges 20 years+ - NCT06023407Enrolling by invitation
Heat therapy for blood sugar and Alzheimer's prevention
This study tests whether regular heat therapy (like sitting in a hot tub) can help improve blood sugar control and lower the risk of Alzheimer's disease in older women who have metabolic problems.
Kansas City, KansasAges 65 years+ - NCT07199491Enrolling by invitation

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for metabolic disease?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 365 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.
