Aurora, ColoradoAges 12–17 - NCT03669809Recruiting
Study of how body timing affects metabolism
This trial looks at how “biological rhythm” (your body’s timing over the day and night) relates to metabolism, or how your body processes energy. It may help researchers understand whether timing patterns affect health and metabolic functions.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–30 - NCT06953505Recruiting
At-home ammonia monitoring for inherited metabolic disorders
This trial tests a device for measuring ammonia levels at home in people with rare metabolic conditions that cause high ammonia. It aims to make monitoring easier and more convenient for patients.

Time-restricted eating for PCOS with glucose issues during IVF
This study tests whether a time-restricted eating plan (eating only during certain hours of the day) can improve pregnancy rates in women with PCOS and glucose metabolism problems who are undergoing IVF. The goal is to see if this eating pattern helps your body respond better to treatment.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 20–38 - NCT03016806Recruiting
Umbilical cord blood transplant from unrelated donors
This trial studies transplanting healthy blood-forming cells from an umbilical cord blood donor who is not related to you. It may help people with certain blood cancers, immune disorders, or other serious diseases when a standard transplant plan is needed.
Rochester, New YorkAges 2 months–75 years - NCT07229521Recruiting
Nattokinase for heart, gut, sleep, and brain health in metabolic syndrome with sleep issues
This study tests whether a supplement called nattokinase can improve heart health, sleep, thinking, and gut bacteria in people with metabolic syndrome and mild-to-moderate sleep apnea. If you have a larger waist, blood pressure or blood sugar issues, or imbalanced cholesterol, and have been diagnosed with mild or moderate sleep apnea, you may be eligible.
TaipeiAges 18 years+ - NCT04414046RecruitingPhase 2
Stem cell transplant using T-cell cleanup for immune and metabolism disorders
This Phase 2 study tests a specialized stem cell transplant that removes certain “T-cells” (a type of immune cell) to treat children with serious immune system or inherited metabolic problems. The goal is to improve or stabilize disease by resetting the immune system and supporting the body’s function.
St. Petersburg, FloridaAges Up to 21 years - NCT06557317Recruiting
Lifestyle program for Black teen girls at risk for type 2 diabetes
This study tests if an in-person lifestyle program can help prevent type 2 diabetes in Black adolescent girls who have obesity. The program involves both the teen and a caregiver who prepares most of the household meals.
Brooklyn, New YorkAges 12–18 - NCT06107959Recruiting
Metabolism changes after bone or joint surgery
This study measures how your metabolism (how fast your body burns energy) changes after orthopedic surgery (surgery on bones or joints). It may help doctors understand how to better support recovery.
Kansas City, KansasAges 15 years+ - NCT03128996RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Bone marrow transplant with lighter chemo for non-cancer illnesses
This early-phase study tests a safer “lighter” conditioning chemo plan before a bone marrow transplant for people with non-cancer blood and immune disorders. It aims to reduce transplant risk while using donor marrow that does not match perfectly in the HLA type.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 1 day–21 years - NCT06357728Recruiting
Tracking blood sugar during pregnancy
This study uses a continuous glucose monitor to track blood sugar levels during pregnancy in women of Chinese or Indian ethnicity. It aims to better understand glucose patterns in pregnancy.
Singapore, SingaporeAges 21–45 - NCT04039763Recruiting
Glucose monitoring for young adults at risk of DKA
This study tests a real-time glucose monitor (RT-CGM) to help young adults with insulin-treated diabetes recognize dangerously high or fast-changing blood sugars. It may help lower the risk of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), a serious complication that can lead to urgent care or hospital stays.
LondonAges 18–25 - 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.
Aurora, ColoradoAges Any age - NCT06674980Recruiting
Testing placenta-based wound treatment for diabetic and venous leg ulcers
This trial tests if adding a special placenta-based wound covering to standard care helps heal diabetic foot ulcers and venous leg ulcers faster. It's for people with wounds that haven't healed after standard treatment for at least 4 weeks.
Metairie, LouisianaAges 18 years+ - NCT06250595Recruiting
European rare blood disorder registry
This study is building a registry of people with rare blood diseases. By joining, you help doctors learn more about these conditions and improve future care.
Barcelona, CataloniaAges Up to 100 years - NCT06907329Recruiting
NMN supplement trial for middle-aged adults with metabolic issues
This trial tests whether a sustained-release nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) supplement can improve immune aging and metabolism in people aged 50-70 who are overweight or have fatty liver, pre-diabetes, or mild type 2 diabetes.
ShanghaiAges 50–70 - NCT06700915Recruiting
Berberine supplement study for blood sugar support
This study tests if a berberine-based supplement can help regulate blood sugar and metabolism in people who are overweight and have slightly elevated blood sugar (prediabetes). Participants will take the supplement and maintain their normal lifestyle.
Santa Monica, CaliforniaAges 18–70 - NCT03994367Recruiting
Study of diet protein types and how they affect blood sugar

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for metabolic disorders?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 135 recruiting metabolic disorders 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 disorders 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 disorders 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.
