Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05570227Recruiting
Study metabolism in melanoma using a glucose tracer
This study looks at how melanoma cells and the body use sugar by collecting tissue samples and, for some people, giving a labeled glucose infusion. It may help researchers understand melanoma “metabolic” patterns and how they relate to cancer behavior.
Melbourne, VictoriaAges 18 years+ - NCT05962190Recruiting
Short-term extra fat intake to study liver metabolism
This study tests what happens to the liver and fat metabolism when you eat extra fat for a short time. It may help researchers understand how diet affects liver function and metabolism in otherwise stable adults.
OxfordAges 18–65 - NCT05987631Recruiting
Predicting weight loss and health after weight loss surgery
This study looks at why some people lose more weight and improve their health more than others after bariatric surgery. It also has a subgroup that specifically studies people who are insulin resistant (a sign of prediabetes) to see how surgery affects their metabolism.
Gouda, South HollandAges 18–75 - NCT06001619RecruitingPhase 4
Prostate medication, metabolism, and gut bacteria
This study looks at how prostate medication affects your metabolism and the helpful bacteria in your gut. It may help explain how these drugs work and how they affect your body.
TurkuAges 18 years+ - NCT05046483Recruiting
Blood sugar study after a new heart attack
This study measures how your body handles sugar and related hormones in people after a new STEMI heart attack, and compares them with people who do not have diabetes or have prediabetes. The goal is to better understand metabolic changes after the event, which could help future care.
Düsseldorf, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18–80 - NCT06061042Recruiting
Time-restricted eating for metabolic health
This study tests whether eating only during a specific time window each day can improve metabolic health in people with obesity and insulin resistance. If you have a high BMI and early signs of diabetes, this trial might help you understand a simple dietary change.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 50–75 - NCT06066775Recruiting
Glucose, fats, and brain health in aging
This study looks at how blood sugar and fat levels relate to brain aging over time. It may help understand why some people's brains age faster than others.
Jinan, ShandongAges 50 years+ - NCT07856017Recruiting
Smarter prostate biopsy using imaging and metabolic data
This study tests a new biopsy system that uses MRI images and metabolic information to guide doctors to the most suspicious areas of the prostate during the biopsy. This could make the biopsy more accurate and help diagnose prostate cancer better.
ShanghaiAges 55 years+ - NCT06204731Recruiting
Exercise in low oxygen for young men
This study tests whether exercising in a low-oxygen environment (like high altitude) can affect stress, inflammation, and energy in your body. It is for young males who are generally healthy and can exercise safely.
KrakowAges 19–29 - NCT06213402Recruiting
European registry for rare anemia disorders
This study is creating a European registry (database) to collect information about people with rare anemia disorders. By joining, you help researchers better understand these conditions and improve care for yourself and others.
Barcelona, CataloniaAges birth–100 years - NCT07869069Recruiting
Mobile heart health visits for remote communities
This study brings heart health checkups to Indigenous and remote communities using a mobile health unit. It aims to improve heart disease prevention and make healthcare more accessible.
Québec, QuebecAges 35–65 - NCT07868601Recruiting
Lifestyle and metabolism study for overweight adults
This study looks at how different lifestyle factors and metabolism affect health in overweight adults. It may help researchers understand how to better tailor nutrition and lifestyle advice.
Potsdam, Potsdam-RehbrückeAges 40–75 - NCT07853898Recruiting
Pistachio snack trial for young adults with overweight
This study looks at how eating pistachios affects blood sugar and appetite after meals in young adults with overweight or obesity. Participants will eat pistachio snacks or a refined-carb snack and have blood tests to compare the effects.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18–35 - NCT07860411Recruiting
Biomarker study for chronic sinusitis with nasal polyps
This study looks for certain markers in your blood and nasal tissue that may be linked to chronic sinusitis with nasal polyps. It may help doctors understand the condition better and could lead to more targeted treatments in the future.

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.
