Test of two oils on metabolism in adults with insulin resistance
This study compares an oil rich in linoleic acid (a type of omega-6 fat) against a blend oil to see which one better improves metabolism and heart health in people with insulin resistance. It may help if you have insulin resistance and at least one heart risk factor like belly fat, low good cholesterol, or high blood pressure.

This study tests a new method that uses sound waves to measure fat in your liver. It could help doctors check liver health without a biopsy.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT07336797RecruitingPhase 2
Empagliflozin for weight and metabolism in HIV
This trial tests if empagliflozin, a diabetes medicine, can improve weight and metabolism in people with HIV who take dolutegravir and have a high body mass index (BMI). It may help reduce weight gain linked to HIV treatment.

Stem cell transplant using T-cell cleanup for immune and metabolism disorders
This Phase 2 study tests a specialized stem cell transplant that removes certain “T-cells” (a type of immune cell) to treat children with serious immune system or inherited metabolic problems. The goal is to improve or stabilize disease by resetting the immune system and supporting the body’s function.
St. Petersburg, FloridaAges Up to 21 years - NCT07624500Recruiting
How Different Foods Affect Your Metabolism and Blood Sugar
This study tests how specific foods impact your body's ability to manage blood sugar and fat levels. You'll eat meals provided by the research team for about 12 weeks to help researchers understand which foods work best for people with high triglycerides (a type of blood fat) and insulin resistance (difficulty managing blood sugar).
Chicago, IllinoisAges 40–70 - NCT07359625Recruiting
Study on ketone drinks and insulin health
This study tests if drinking a ketone supplement can improve how your body responds to insulin, which affects blood sugar control.
Aarhus NAges 55–70 - NCT07361887Recruiting
Moderate wine and healthy aging study
This study tests whether moderate wine consumption can help healthy aging by looking at tiny particles in your blood after a meal. It may help you understand how wine affects your body's cells.
Seville, SevillaAges 35–36 - NCT07389603Recruiting
Time-restricted eating and nutrition counseling for metabolic syndrome
This study tests if eating only within a shorter daily window, combined with personalized nutrition advice, can improve metabolic syndrome—a cluster of conditions like high blood sugar, high blood pressure, and excess belly fat. You may qualify if you're an adult who eats over 14 hours a day and has at least three of the listed health markers.
Ciudad Guzmán, JaliscoAges 18–60 - NCT00237315Recruiting
Long-term study of urea cycle disorders in affected families
This study follows people with urea cycle disorders (and some people who are very likely to have one) over time. It aims to better understand how these rare enzyme problems affect health, using medical tests and family information.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT02362685Recruiting
Metabolic exercise testing study
This study is about doing a breathing-and-heart performance test while you exercise to better understand how your body uses energy. You may join if you’re referred for this type of test and can safely complete it.
BrestAges 5 years+ - NCT02254863RecruitingPhase 1
Stem cell transplant into the spinal fluid for rare brain diseases
This Phase 1 trial tests a transplant using special donated stem-cell–like cells placed into the spinal fluid to treat certain inherited brain diseases. It is mainly designed to check safety, and it may offer benefit by targeting brain and nerve damage.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 1 week–22 years - NCT02646475RecruitingPhase 1
Study angiotensin medicine to improve metabolism in obesity
This Phase 1 study tests how a medication that affects the body’s angiotensin system (angiotensin-(1-7)) changes metabolism in adults with obesity, insulin resistance, and high blood pressure. It may help researchers understand whether this approach can improve blood sugar/insulin function and related body changes.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18–60 - NCT02650622Recruiting
Study of genetic and metabolic diseases in children
This study looks at children who may have genetic (inherited) or metabolic (body chemistry) problems, including newborn screening and episodes of trouble. The goal is to better understand these conditions and identify children who may benefit from further care.
Dallas, TexasAges 1 day+ - NCT03215836Recruiting

Probiotics and lifestyle changes for fatty liver disease
This trial tests whether taking probiotics plus making lifestyle changes can improve fatty liver and metabolic health. You may qualify if you have liver fat and at least one sign of metabolic problems like high blood sugar or high blood pressure.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for metabolism?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,080 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.
