Recruiting studies
- NCT06072911Recruiting
Men's health after prostate cancer surgery study
This study looks at how men recover control of urine and sexual function after prostate removal surgery. It also tests if a 12-week exercise program can help improve these functions.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT07212868RecruitingPhase 1
How glucagon affects blood sugar after weight loss surgery
This study looks at how the hormone glucagon affects blood sugar in people who have had gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy surgery more than a year ago, compared to people who have not had any gastrointestinal surgery. It aims to understand glucose metabolism better and may help improve care for people after bariatric surgery.
San Antonio, TexasAges 18–65 - NCT06757296Recruiting
Endoscopic revision of sleeve gastrectomy for reflux or poor weight loss
This study tests a new, less invasive way to convert a sleeve gastrectomy into a different type of weight-loss surgery (SASI) in people who have ongoing gastroesophageal reflux or haven't lost enough weight. The goal is to see if this endoscopic procedure can improve reflux and help with weight loss without the need for a traditional surgery.
SingaporeAges 21–65 - NCT07350967Recruiting
Magnetic weight-loss procedure for diabetes or weight regain
This trial tests a new procedure that uses magnets to reroute part of your small intestine. It is for people with type 2 diabetes or who have had a sleeve gastrectomy and gained weight back. The goal is to see if this magnetic treatment can help with weight loss and diabetes control.
Ahmedabad, GujaratAges 25–65 - NCT01803451RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Tested after gastric bypass for low blood sugar
This early study looks at a gut hormone–based treatment (GLP-1) and how it affects blood sugar and digestion after gastric bypass. It may help people who are having repeated low blood sugar episodes after surgery.
San Antonio, TexasAges 18–65 - NCT06448195RecruitingPhase 4
Growth Hormone for Fatty Liver After Pituitary Surgery
This trial tests whether growth hormone therapy can improve liver health and metabolic function in people who have fatty liver after pituitary tumor surgery. It is for adults with growth hormone deficiency who have excess fat in their liver.
ShanghaiAges 18–60 - NCT03535142Recruiting
Fatty liver in people considering bariatric surgery
This study looks at how fatty liver disease may predict future liver health in people with severe weight gain. It compares people who are planning bariatric (weight-loss) surgery with similar people who are not, to better understand who may be at higher risk.
EsbjergAges 18 years+ - NCT03875625Recruiting
Tracking body fat and liver fat after weight-loss treatment
This study looks at how body fat and liver fat change after bariatric (weight-loss) surgery or a lifestyle program. You may join if you have overweight or obesity and can safely have MRI scans, so researchers can compare results between treatment approaches.
Hong Kong, ShatinAges 18–65 - NCT07178704Recruiting
Genes and metabolism after weight loss surgery
This study looks at how your genes and metabolism affect changes in body composition after weight loss surgery. It aims to understand why some people lose more weight or gain muscle differently than others.
Galveston, TexasAges 18–65 - NCT06835426Recruiting
Imaging removed tissue during cancer surgery
This study tests a high-resolution PET-CT scanner that takes pictures of tissue removed during surgery to help doctors see if all the cancer has been removed. You might qualify if you are having surgery for a range of cancers including breast, prostate, thyroid, skin, gastrointestinal, or brain tumors.
Ghent, Oost VlaanderenAges 18 years+ - NCT07070362Recruiting
Digital early warning system for lung injury after liver surgery
This trial tests a digital early warning system to detect acute lung injury after liver surgery. It may help doctors catch breathing problems early so they can treat them faster.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05725967Enrolling by invitation
Endoscopic and bariatric procedures for obesity
This study looks at people who are having obesity-related procedures, including options done with a scope (endoscopic) and revision after prior bariatric surgery. It may help doctors understand outcomes and improve care for people undergoing these treatments.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–80 - NCT05296421Recruiting
Biopsy study during pancreatic cancer surgery to guide treatment
This study looks at specific body chemistry pathways in pancreatic cancer tissue to better understand what may help treatment work. If you are having pancreatic surgery, the researchers will take extra small tissue samples during the operation to study tumor and normal tissue.
Livingston, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07329530Recruiting
Muscle and metabolism study in ICU survivors
This study looks at muscle and metabolism changes in people who have been in the ICU for at least 7 days after major abdominal surgery. It aims to understand how recovery affects the body.
LiègeAges 18 years+ - NCT07025213Recruiting
Exercise and diet study for endometrial cancer before surgery
This study tests whether combining exercise with a special diet can improve how your body processes energy (metabolism) before you have surgery to remove the cancer. It is for people with early-stage endometrial cancer who haven't yet started treatment.
México, TlalpanAges 18–65 - NCT07068529Recruiting
Metabolic biomarkers for early diagnosis and recurrence of colorectal cancer
This study looks at metabolic biomarkers in blood and tumor tissue to help detect colorectal cancer earlier, predict outcomes, and monitor for recurrence. It includes both people newly diagnosed with colorectal cancer and healthy volunteers for comparison.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07076979Recruiting
Metabolic biomarkers for stomach cancer detection and monitoring
This study looks for metabolic markers in your blood and tumor tissue to help find stomach cancer early, predict your prognosis, and watch for recurrence. If you qualify, you would give blood and tumor samples for testing.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT05211375RecruitingPhase 3
Compare two weight-loss surgeries for type 2 diabetes control
This Phase 3 trial compares sleeve gastrectomy versus a different bypass-style operation to improve blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes. It may help some people lower blood sugar and diabetes medication needs, but you must meet specific safety and health criteria.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for metabolic surgery?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 66 recruiting metabolic surgery 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 surgery 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 surgery 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.
