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.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges Up to 20 years - NCT07589647Recruiting
Brain Stimulation for Bipolar Disorder and Weight Management
This study tests whether a small electrical stimulation device targeting a specific brain region (the suprachiasmatic nucleus) can help improve metabolic health and weight in people with stable bipolar disorder who also have obesity. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and effective.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–45 - 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 - 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.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Any age - NCT06227468Recruiting
Mapping immune system genes in Greek adults
This study maps immune system genes (HLA) in Greek adults. It uses a simple cheek swab sample to collect data, with no experimental treatment.
Chaïdári, AtticaAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT03451968Recruiting
Amino acid levels in long ICU stays after surgery or trauma
This study measures amino acids (building blocks from food) in people who are critically ill after surgery or trauma while they stay in the ICU for more than a week. It also compares results with healthy adults to better understand how critical illness affects nutrition needs.
Petah TikvaAges 18 years+ - NCT06373016Recruiting
Ketone drink study for stable bipolar disorder
This study tests whether a ketone drink can change how the body uses energy in people with bipolar disorder. It may help understand new ways to manage the condition.
Belmont, MassachusettsAges 18–45 - NCT05085704Recruiting
Brain scans to study metabolism in healthy and diabetic people
This study uses MRI brain scans at different strengths to measure how the brain uses energy (metabolism) in health and in people with genetically confirmed G1D. It may help researchers understand brain energy changes related to metabolic disease and diabetes.
New York, New YorkAges 16–80 - NCT04008147Recruiting
Testing iron-related hormones and sugar levels in mid-pregnancy
This study looks at how the hormone hepcidin and blood sugar/metabolism change during pregnancy, and how they respond to either stopping iron supplements briefly or taking a specific prenatal iron-containing multivitamin. It may help doctors better understand iron balance in pregnancy and how it could affect metabolism.
ZurichAges 18–45 - 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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for metabolic disorders?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 133 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.
