Recruiting studies near Baltimore
- 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.
Baltimore, MarylandAges Any age - NCT04201600Recruiting
Study how blood sugar swings affect thinking in prediabetes
This study looks at how “blood sugar variability” (how much glucose levels bounce around) may affect thinking and memory in people with prediabetes. You may be eligible if you’re older and don’t already have diabetes or conditions that can strongly affect the brain or blood vessels.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 50 years+ - 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.
Baltimore, MarylandAges Any age - NCT07575932RecruitingPhase 2
Testing New Weight Loss Medications PF-08653945 and PF-08653944
This study tests two new experimental medications designed to help adults lose weight and improve weight-related health conditions like high blood pressure and sleep apnea. Participants will take one of these medications to see if it's safe and effective.
Lutherville, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT02769975Recruiting
Check children and teens with hormone and metabolism problems
This study evaluates children (and sometimes relatives) who may have hormone (endocrine) or metabolism-related conditions. It helps doctors better understand these problems by doing a clinical evaluation.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 3 months–100 years - NCT05047354Recruiting
Study cholesterol metabolism in rare genetic conditions
This study looks at body chemistry (cholesterol-related lab findings) and physical features in people with Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome and related rare genetic cholesterol disorders. It may help researchers better understand these conditions and how they affect the body.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 1 day–100 years - NCT07046819RecruitingPhase 2
Tirzepatide for liver disease linked to alcohol use
This trial tests if tirzepatide, a medication that helps with weight and blood sugar, can improve liver health in people with alcohol use disorder who also have fatty liver disease. It aims to reduce liver fat and related risks.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 21–100 - NCT07191561Recruiting
Liver fat and alcohol use disorder study
This trial looks at how the liver processes fat in people with alcohol use disorder. It may help find better ways to treat liver problems related to drinking.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT01780168Recruiting
Study of metabolism, infection, and immunity in mitochondrial disease
This study looks at how metabolism, infections, and the immune system work together in people with mitochondrial disease. It aims to learn more about the condition and may help guide future treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 4 weeks–115 years - NCT05600946Recruiting
Study of body differences in creatine transporter deficiency
This study looks at physical and body features in people with creatine transporter deficiency caused by a specific gene change (SLC6A8). It may help doctors better understand the condition and how it shows up, which can improve future care.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–40 - NCT06092346Recruiting
Understanding rare purine and pyrimidine metabolism disorders
This study aims to learn more about rare disorders of purine and pyrimidine metabolism (DPPM), which can affect the brain, immune system, kidneys, and muscles. Researchers will study people with these disorders, their family members, and healthy volunteers to better understand the condition over time.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 1 month–100 years - NCT05007990Recruiting
Interview study of caregiving networks over a person’s life
This study uses interviews and questionnaires to better understand who makes up a caregiver’s support network when caring for someone with a long-term health condition. Your answers may help researchers understand how caregiving changes over time and across different health situations.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - 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 - NCT00237315Recruiting
Long-term study of urea cycle disorders in affected families
This study follows people with urea cycle disorders (and some people who are very likely to have one) over time. It aims to better understand how these rare enzyme problems affect health, using medical tests and family information.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges Any age - NCT00920972RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Bone marrow transplant prep for children with non-cancer blood disorders
This early-stage study tests a specific chemotherapy “conditioning” regimen to prepare the body for a bone marrow transplant in children with certain non-cancer blood or immune conditions. It may help the transplant work better, but it also carries risks from the chemotherapy and transplant process.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges Up to 20 years

What taking part in a metabolic disorders 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

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
