CopenhagenAges 18–50 - NCT07699380RecruitingPhase 2
Metabolic therapy to improve insulin sensitivity in type 1 diabetes
This trial tests a drug that may help your body use insulin better and improve how your cells produce energy. It might lead to better blood sugar control and less insulin needed.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18–69 - NCT07628764Recruiting
Variations in resting metabolic rate over 12 weeks
This study checks how your resting metabolic rate (the calories your body burns at rest) changes over 12 weeks. It's a low-risk, observational trial that may help you understand your metabolism and how it varies.
Tel AvivAges 18–65 - NCT07330297Recruiting
Breath test for metabolic syndrome and obesity health
This study uses a breath test to see if it can tell the difference between people with metabolic syndrome, those with obesity but otherwise healthy, and healthy controls. It aims to find a simple way to check metabolic health without blood draws.
MoscowAges 18 years+ - NCT07093346Recruiting
Pectin supplement for fatty liver disease
This study tests whether a pectin supplement (a fiber found in fruits) can reduce inflammation and improve liver and metabolic health in people with fatty liver disease (MASLD). You might be eligible if you have MASLD, a healthy weight range, and can avoid certain medications and foods.
Nottingham, United KingdomAges 18 years+ - NCT07043166Recruiting

Study of a new drug for fatty liver disease (MASLD/MASH)
This study tests a new drug called ALN-CIDEB for people with fatty liver disease (MASLD or MASH). The goal is to see if it can reduce liver fat and improve liver health. You may qualify if you have a higher BMI and evidence of liver fat on imaging tests.
Chandler, ArizonaAges 18–65 - NCT06374875RecruitingPhase 4
Does metabolic surgery reduce liver scarring?
This study tests if weight loss surgery can improve liver fibrosis (scarring) in people with obesity and advanced liver disease. It may help those considering surgery to know if their liver health can get better.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18–75 - NCT06092346Recruiting
Understanding rare purine and pyrimidine metabolism disorders
This study aims to learn more about rare disorders of purine and pyrimidine metabolism (DPPM), which can affect the brain, immune system, kidneys, and muscles. Researchers will study people with these disorders, their family members, and healthy volunteers to better understand the condition over time.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 1 month–100 years - NCT03994367Recruiting
Study of diet protein types and how they affect blood sugar
This study looks at how eating more or different types of proteins (animal vs plant) may change your blood sugar handling. It mainly targets adults who eat relatively little protein and have no diabetes.
Columbia, MissouriAges 21–70 - NCT06275061Recruiting
Obesity and metabolic surgery database study
This trial is building a database of people with obesity who have had or are planning to have weight loss surgery (metabolic or bariatric surgery). It helps doctors learn more about long-term results and safety.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges Any age - NCT06336070Recruiting
Power training for metabolic health in postmenopausal cancer survivors
This trial compares two types of exercise—muscle power training and metabolic power training—to see which better improves your body's ability to use energy and control heart function. You may qualify if you are a postmenopausal woman who has had breast cancer and is not currently active.
Valencia, ValenciaAges 35–75 - NCT07837336Recruiting
Nutrition assessment for children with protein metabolism disorders
This study looks at the nutrition, body composition, and diet of Filipino children with protein metabolism disorders. It aims to understand their current health to improve future care and treatment.
Batangas, BatangasAges birth–18 years - NCT07781384Enrolling by invitation
Vibrotactile device for resting metabolic rate
This study tests a new wearable device that uses gentle vibrations (vibrotactile technology) to see if it can change your resting metabolic rate — the number of calories your body burns at rest. It may help with weight management or metabolism.
Tyrone, GeorgiaAges 18–85 - NCT07737561Recruiting
Exercise test for heart, kidney, and metabolic health
This study looks at how blood pressure and artery stiffness respond to exercise in people with heart, kidney, and metabolic problems. It may help doctors better understand your condition.
KaramanAges 18 years+ - NCT07716488Recruiting
Screening for high cholesterol in children with chronic conditions
This study screens children and teens with certain chronic conditions (like heart defects or inflammatory bowel disease) for early signs of high cholesterol or other lipid problems. The goal is to find and manage these risks sooner.
JenaAges 6–18 - NCT07710274Recruiting
Personalized Program for Insulin Resistance in Metabolic Syndrome
This pilot study tests a personalized program called PRISM to help improve how your body responds to insulin. If you have metabolic syndrome (a cluster of conditions like large waist size, high blood pressure, or high blood sugar) and insulin resistance, the study will use a continuous glucose monitor, smart ring, and food logging app to give you tailored feedback.
SingaporeAges 21–70 - NCT07707778Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Tirzepatide for Weight and Aging in People with HIV
This trial tests whether a weight-loss medicine called tirzepatide can slow biological aging and improve metabolism in people with HIV who are already on effective treatment. It may help you reduce weight and possibly reverse some signs of aging.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for metabolism?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,050 recruiting metabolism 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 metabolism 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 metabolism 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.
