How HIV prevention drugs affect metabolism in healthy people
This study tests how certain HIV prevention drugs affect the body's metabolism (how it uses energy) in healthy people. It aims to understand side effects before these drugs are used more widely, which could help make future treatments safer.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–55 - NCT05648214RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing a new liver medicine in people with fatty liver
This early-phase study tests whether ALN-PNP is safe and well tolerated, first in healthy adults and then in adults with MASLD (fatty liver disease). If you have MASLD, it may help researchers learn whether this medicine is a promising option for treating liver fat buildup.
Glendale, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - NCT05669742RecruitingPhase 3
Empagliflozin plus olanzapine to reduce metabolic side effects
This trial tests whether adding empagliflozin to standard olanzapine treatment can improve metabolic problems (like blood sugar and cholesterol changes) that can happen with olanzapine in people with schizophrenia. If you qualify, you would be closely monitored for benefits and side effects.

Gene-silencing medicine trial for adults with MASH and liver scarring
This Phase 2 study tests a gene-silencing treatment to improve chronic liver disease called MASH, especially in people with certain genetic risk. You may be eligible if you have MASH with moderate-to-advanced scarring and specific test results, and if other liver causes and recent substance/alcohol issues don’t apply.
Chandler, ArizonaAges 18–75 - NCT05543083Recruiting
Therapy plus exercise for teens at risk of type 2 diabetes
This trial tests whether a combination of coaching (cognitive-behavioral therapy) and exercise can improve mood and help teens who are at higher risk for type 2 diabetes. It may be especially helpful if you’re dealing with depression symptoms and a family history of type 2 diabetes.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 12–17 - NCT05432856Recruiting
Track metabolic health habits during breast cancer treatment
This study follows how “metabolic health” patterns (like eating timing and daily activity) change over time during breast cancer care. It may help researchers learn which habit patterns are linked to better outcomes and comfort during chemotherapy.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT05398783Recruiting
Study of how metabolism and body composition change over time
This natural history study follows people to understand how metabolism and body composition vary in health and disease. It may help researchers better measure metabolic changes and understand who is at risk as health and treatments change.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–99 - NCT05400824Recruiting
Health study in La Réunion
This study looks at how metabolism and infections affect people in La Réunion. Participants will provide consent for genetic analysis and answer health questions.
La Réunion, Saint-PierreAges 18–67 - NCT05197309Recruiting
Metabolic diet to help prevent relapse in anorexia
This study tests whether a specific diet can help people with anorexia nervosa stay well and avoid relapse after weight restoration. It focuses on “metabolic” (energy and blood sugar-related) effects, checked with blood work and regular visits.
New York, New YorkAges 18–40 - NCT04873258Recruiting
Test a non-invasive tool to screen for fat-related liver disease
This study looks at a new non-invasive screening method to predict metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), a condition where fat builds up in the liver. The goal is to help identify people who may be at risk without needing invasive tests.
London, LondonAges 18–80 - NCT04809688Enrolling by invitation
Study how berries affect metabolism and gut bacteria
This study looks at whether eating Saskatoon berries changes how your body uses energy (metabolism) and how your gut bacteria behave. It’s done in healthy people and may help researchers understand how foods could support overall health.
Winnipeg, ManitobaAges 18–75 - NCT04812314Recruiting
Study how exercise changes body fat and metabolism
This study looks at how starting exercise changes the structure and function of body fat. It may help you understand how exercise affects things like cholesterol and blood sugar, even if you’re not currently exercising regularly.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18–40 - NCT04575844RecruitingPhase 4
Exercise and GLP-1 to improve insulin and muscle blood flow
This study looks at whether doing exercise and a GLP-1 medicine (liraglutide or similar) can improve how your body uses insulin and how blood flows to your muscles. It is aimed at adults with metabolic syndrome who do not already have diabetes.
Charlottesville, VirginiaAges 21–60 - NCT04414046RecruitingPhase 2
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.

Study of how your body processes natural inflammation signals
This early study looks at how the body breaks down certain natural inflammation-related chemicals (“eicosanoids”). It aims to understand normal metabolism pathways, and you may help by sharing how your body responds while you avoid certain medicines.

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.
