Recruiting studies in Pennsylvania
- NCT06852365RecruitingPhase 2
Birth control pill and resistant starch for PCOS
This trial tests whether adding a type of fiber (resistant starch) to a common birth control pill can improve health in women with PCOS. It aims to see if this combination helps with weight, hormones, and metabolism.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18–40 - NCT03418857RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Probiotics for weight- and blood-sugar–related gut health
This trial tests whether taking probiotics can improve gut health in people with early metabolic problems related to extra body fat, cholesterol, blood pressure, or blood sugar. It’s a Phase 1/2 study, meaning safety and early effectiveness are being tested.
University Park, PennsylvaniaAges 55–75 - NCT06112418Recruiting
Personalized vs standard care to prevent heart attacks
This trial compares two ways to prevent heart attacks and strokes: one uses a special heart CT scan to guide care, the other uses standard risk factors like blood pressure and cholesterol. You may be eligible if you are older (men over 55, women over 65) and have diabetes, prediabetes, or metabolic syndrome.
Camp Hill, PennsylvaniaAges 55 years+ - NCT04528355Recruiting
Study of hospital data after stem cell transplant for non-cancer illness
This study collects medical information from people with certain non-cancer conditions who receive a stem cell transplant. It may help doctors better understand transplant outcomes and care, since the study focuses on data collection rather than adding new treatment.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 2 months–60 years - NCT01962415RecruitingPhase 2
Reduced-intensity stem cell transplant for non-cancer disorders
This trial tests whether a gentler (reduced-intensity) conditioning treatment before a stem cell transplant works for non-cancer diseases. It uses specific donor stem cell matches and checks heart, lung, liver, and kidney function to help lower transplant stress while still aiming for benefit.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 2 months–55 years - NCT02356653RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Stem cell transplant help for children lacking a matching sibling
This expanded-access study offers a specific type of stem cell transplant preparation that removes certain immune cells (CD3 and CD19) from donor stem cells. It is for children who need a transplant but do not have a fully matched sibling donor and whose team cannot use the hospital’s usual matching device protocol.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges Up to 30 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

What taking part in a metabolic syndrome 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
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
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
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.

Common questions
- Are there metabolic syndrome clinical trials in Pennsylvania?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 7 recruiting metabolic syndrome studies with a site in Pennsylvania, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a metabolic syndrome study in Pennsylvania?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in Pennsylvania to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Pennsylvania, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a metabolic syndrome trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
Not the right time?
New metabolic syndrome studies open in Pennsylvania regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
