Time-restricted eating for postmenopausal metabolic risk
This trial studies whether limiting when you eat each day can improve blood sugar and other health markers in postmenopausal women with prediabetes or metabolic risk factors. It may help your body’s metabolism if your sleep and daily routine can stay fairly consistent.
Lexington, KentuckyAges 45–65 - NCT06842433Recruiting
Personalized nutrition study for weight and health
This study tests a personalized nutrition program based on your unique data. It aims to help improve health and weight through tailored diet advice.
WageningenAges 40–70 - NCT05332301Recruiting
Study of how men and women process a high-fat meal

Hamilton, OntarioAges 18–35 - NCT04284943Recruiting
Surgery for stomach cancer and diabetes
This trial tests a surgery for early-stage stomach cancer that also aims to improve type 2 diabetes by changing how your body processes food. It might be an option if you have both conditions and are not using insulin.
SeoulAges 20–69 - NCT06252922Recruiting
How diet changes genetic material in healthy young men
This study looks at how diet can change genetic material in healthy young men. You would eat prepared meals, wear a glucose monitor, and give blood and sperm samples to help researchers understand these effects.
Baton Rouge, LouisianaAges 20–35 - NCT06226168Recruiting
Hypoxia exercise for bone health in premenopausal women
This study looks at how an exercise program done in low-oxygen (hypoxia) conditions affects bone health and metabolism in premenopausal women. It could help if you're interested in improving your bone density naturally.
KrakowAges 50–59 - NCT05741918Recruiting
Testing a monitor to measure heart output in sick children
This study checks whether a bedside “metabolic monitor” can accurately measure how well the heart is pumping (heart output) in children in the intensive care unit. It may help clinicians better understand and manage circulation using measurement methods during critical care.
MontpellierAges 4 weeks–17 years - NCT06813261Recruiting
GLYLO supplement trial for aging in postmenopausal women
This trial tests whether a supplement called GLYLO can reduce markers of aging related to sugar damage in postmenopausal women. It may help if you are between 45 and 65, have some extra belly fat or higher blood sugar, and are not taking certain medications.
Novato, CaliforniaAges 45–65 - NCT06896682Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for metabolism?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,079 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.
