Recruiting studies
- NCT05223530Recruiting
Study of how pregnancy programs future child health
This study follows mothers who previously joined two specific pregnancy research programs, to understand why some children may be more likely to develop weight and heart-related health problems later. If you were part of those original studies, your information could help researchers look for early predictors and prevention ideas.

Rheopheresis to treat painful skin damage in calciphylaxis
This trial studies whether a treatment called rheopheresis, added to standard care, can help people with calciphylaxis whose skin wounds are getting worse. It may be considered when ulcers or dead (necrotic) skin appear despite conventional treatment.
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT03540758RecruitingPhase 2
Study of how brain sugar control channels affect blood sugar
This Phase 2 study tests how certain channels in the brain help control how your body makes and releases sugar (glucose). It may help explain blood sugar problems in people with type 2 diabetes and healthy volunteers.
The Bronx, New YorkAges 21–70 - NCT07426211Recruiting
Shift work and health effects for hospital staff
This study looks at how shift work affects blood sugar and fat levels in hospital employees. It compares people who work night shifts with those who don't, to see if shift work changes these health markers.
BerlinAges 18–67 - NCT06559995RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Ketone drink for alcohol withdrawal
This study tests whether a special ketone drink can ease alcohol withdrawal and help your brain heal. If you have been drinking heavily for at least 3 years and are having withdrawal symptoms now, this might be an option for you.

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+ - NCT05015881Enrolling by invitationPhase 2/Phase 3
Brain and heart scans in alcohol use disorder
This study uses special brain and heart scans to see how sugar (glucose) is used in people with alcohol use disorder compared with people without it. It may help researchers understand the brain–heart connection in alcohol use disorder.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 21–65 - NCT06471842Recruiting
Eating issues in kids with metabolic diseases on special diets
This trial studies eating disorders in young children with certain inherited metabolic diseases that require a special diet. It aims to understand how often these eating problems happen and what they look like.
ParisAges 1–6 - NCT07728669Recruiting
Digital diet app for people on GLP-1 therapy
This study tests a smartphone app that gives dietary advice to people who are overweight or obese and also take a GLP-1 medication (like semaglutide) for weight or diabetes. The app will help you follow a healthy eating plan while using the medication.
AlmatyAges 21–65 - NCT05736302Recruiting
Check an activity-tracking algorithm against a body-weight test
This trial checks whether a new computer algorithm that uses an accelerometer (movement sensor) can accurately estimate your body’s activity and energy use. It compares the phone/wearable movement data to results from a special way of measuring how your body uses energy.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT06914219Recruiting
Eating disorder screening after weight loss surgery
This study tests a program to screen for and treat eating disorders in people who have had weight loss surgery. It aims to find and help those struggling with eating issues after surgery.
Halifax, Nova ScotiaAges 19 years+ - NCT06814314Recruiting
Kids' metabolism and antipsychotic medication study
This study looks at how antipsychotic medicines affect metabolism in children ages 5-17. It compares those with and without metabolic issues, and a group not taking these medicines, to understand how their bodies process energy.
Bosisio Parini, LCAges 5–17 - NCT07268742Recruiting
Vitamin D and steroids in endocrine disorders
This study looks at how vitamin D and steroids work in people with different hormone-related conditions. It may help us understand why some people have trouble with vitamin D and how it affects their health.
LeuvenAges 18 years+ - NCT07059988Recruiting
How the body makes energy in critical illness
This study looks at how the body produces energy in critically ill patients on breathing machines. It compares energy production between ICU patients and healthy volunteers to find better ways to support recovery.
StockholmAges 18 years+ - NCT06573723Recruiting
Rare disease registry at Hospital Italiano
This study collects information from patients with certain rare diseases to better understand them. If you have one of these conditions and receive care at Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires, you may be able to join.
Buenos Aires, Buenos AiresAges Any age - 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 - NCT06639126Enrolling by invitation
Thyme extract for functional gut issues
This trial tests whether a wild thyme extract can help with functional gastrointestinal disorders (common digestive problems without a clear cause). It focuses on the extract's anti-inflammatory and metabolism-related effects.
Granada, GranadaAges 18–75 - NCT07569887Recruiting
Brain Imaging Study of Arteriovenous Malformations Before and After Surgery
This research study uses special brain imaging scans to understand how an unruptured arteriovenous malformation (an abnormal tangle of blood vessels in the brain) affects blood flow and thinking abilities before and after surgical treatment. The goal is to learn how surgery impacts brain function and cognition in patients like you.
Montpellier, FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT07491172RecruitingPhase 1
Trial of CTX310 for stubborn high cholesterol and fats
This trial tests a new medicine, CTX310, for people with persistently high levels of fats (triglycerides) and cholesterol that have not improved with standard treatments. It aims to see if the drug is safe and tolerable.
Hialeah, FloridaAges 18–75 - NCT07309172Recruiting

This study looks at how your brain uses energy if you have early schizophrenia. You will have an MRI scan and possibly receive a special diet (ketogenic) to see if it helps your brain work better.
AarhusAges 18–35 - NCT06212479Recruiting
Whole-body MRI for Preventive Health Screening
This study uses whole-body MRI to see if it can find health issues early in people without symptoms. The goal is to learn if this scan can help predict clinically important conditions in routine preventive care.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for metabolic disorders?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 129 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.
