Time-restricted eating for liver disease or cancer
This study tests whether combining time-restricted eating with healthy eating helps people with metabolic liver disease, cirrhosis, or early-stage liver cancer. If you are overweight and currently fast less than 12 hours at night, this diet approach might improve your health.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06800872Recruiting
Vibration therapy for weight loss in teens
This trial tests if whole body vibration can help teenagers with obesity burn more energy while staying in a hospital program. It may offer an extra tool to support weight management.
Oggebbio, VerbaniaAges 13–18 - NCT06802861Recruiting
Aspirin metabolism in pregnant women at risk of pre-eclampsia
This study looks at how pregnant women at risk of pre-eclampsia process aspirin and how it affects their metabolism. Researchers will use blood and urine tests, along with body measurements and surveys, to learn more about how aspirin can help prevent pre-eclampsia.
Knoxville, TennesseeAges 18–45 - NCT06793930Recruiting
A personalized program to improve health in metabolic syndrome
This study tests a personalized program that helps people with metabolic syndrome make healthy changes to their diet and activity. It is designed for Chinese adults who live at home and can use a digital device.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT06801769Recruiting
Fat in the pancreas and its link to metabolic health
This study uses a special ultrasound technique (eco-elastography) to measure fat inside the pancreas and see how it relates to metabolic syndrome and the cells that produce insulin. It might help understand why some people develop diabetes or other metabolic issues.
Rome, LazioAges 18–80 - NCT04320264Recruiting
Study tests muscle fuel patterns in adults with BMI 25–30
This study looks at how your muscles use fuel during exercise by measuring blood lactate. It may help researchers understand “metabolic inflexibility” and why some people rely more on fast, short-lasting energy during activity.
Greenville, North CarolinaAges 18–50 - NCT06709846Recruiting
MRI brain scans in people with metabolic diseases
This study uses magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to examine the brain in people with metabolic diseases compared to healthy volunteers. If you qualify, you will have an MRI scan to help researchers understand how metabolic conditions affect the brain.
UlmAges 18 years+ - NCT06715735Recruiting
A health coaching program for metabolic syndrome with kidney disease
This trial tests if a personalized health coaching program can help people with metabolic syndrome and chronic kidney disease make lasting lifestyle changes. If you have both conditions and are not yet on dialysis, this program may help you manage your health.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for metabolism?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,051 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.
