LiègeAges 18 years+ - NCT07106879Recruiting
Pre-screening for future metabolic and psychiatric studies
This study does not test a new treatment. It is a pre-screening program to see if you might qualify for future clinical trials on metabolic conditions (like diabetes or weight issues) or psychiatric health (like depression or anxiety). You will be asked some questions and may do some basic health checks to see which future trials could be a good fit for you.
Brooklyn, New YorkAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT06584448Recruiting
Drinking, acetate, and stress study
This study looks at how acetate (a substance produced when the body breaks down alcohol) affects stress and drinking. It tests if giving acetate can help people with alcohol use disorder (AUD) reduce their drinking.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18–55 - NCT04322734Recruiting
Blood tests study immune and metabolism markers in neurodevelopment
This study looks for biological “signals” in blood—related to the immune system and metabolism—to better understand conditions like autism and other brain or development-related disorders. It may help researchers find markers that could guide future diagnosis or treatment.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges Up to 18 years - NCT07002684Recruiting
Esketamine study for depression
This trial tests how treatment with esketamine affects metabolism in people with depression. It may help if you have not responded to at least two standard antidepressants.
ZagrebAges 18–70 - NCT05962190Recruiting
Short-term extra fat intake to study liver metabolism
This study tests what happens to the liver and fat metabolism when you eat extra fat for a short time. It may help researchers understand how diet affects liver function and metabolism in otherwise stable adults.
OxfordAges 18–65 - NCT06930976Recruiting
Tracing sugar use in immune cells
This study uses a special sugar (glucose) to see how your immune cells use energy. You drink a labeled sugar, then give blood samples so researchers can track it.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT07317076Recruiting
Magnetic device study for stomach and bowel blockages
This trial tests a new magnetic device that creates a connection between parts of your stomach or small intestine without needing stitches, for people with certain blockages or digestive issues.
Westmount, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT06765057RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Probiotics for Depression and Metabolic Health
This trial tests whether taking a probiotic supplement can improve both depression symptoms and metabolic health (like waist size, blood sugar, and cholesterol) in people with major depression. It may be a good fit if you are already on an antidepressant and have signs of metabolic syndrome.
Riyadh, Riyadh RegionAges 18–65 - NCT02910180Recruiting
Biobank study of genetic and metabolic data in brain blood vessel disease
This study collects genetic and other health information from people with brain blood vessel (cerebrovascular) problems. It aims to help researchers understand causes and patterns that could lead to better care in the future.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05013944Recruiting
Join a patient registry to support future research
This trial is a “patient registry,” which collects health information over time to help researchers plan and run future studies. It may help by contributing your experience so new treatments can be tested more effectively.
Arlington Heights, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06839456RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Stem cell addback to prevent infections after transplant
This trial tests whether adding back certain immune cells after a stem cell transplant can help prevent serious viral or fungal infections. It's for children and young adults up to age 25 who need a transplant for a blood cancer or other curable disease.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 1 month–25 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 - NCT07255300Recruiting
Fasting-mimicking diet for aging and health in adults

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for metabolic disorders?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 132 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.
