Hypoxia and metabolism in esophageal and stomach cancer
This trial looks at how low oxygen levels (hypoxia) affect the metabolism of esophageal and stomach cancers. It may help doctors understand why some cancers grow or resist treatment, possibly leading to better therapies.

Probiotics for Depression and Metabolic Health
This trial tests whether taking a probiotic supplement can improve both depression symptoms and metabolic health (like waist size, blood sugar, and cholesterol) in people with major depression. It may be a good fit if you are already on an antidepressant and have signs of metabolic syndrome.
Riyadh, Riyadh RegionAges 18–65 - NCT07254403Recruiting
Beef vs. plant protein for muscle health in older adults
This study compares how well beef protein and plant protein help build muscle in older adults who may be starting to feel weak or lose muscle. You'll eat test meals and have your muscle response measured using a safe, stable isotope technique.
College Station, TexasAges 65–95 - NCT05610228Recruiting
Metabolism study in CLL lymph nodes
This study looks at how chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) cells use energy in lymph nodes. It may help find new ways to treat CLL in the future.
NiceAges 18–90 - NCT07664891Recruiting
Metabolism and surroundings in pancreatic cancer
This study looks at how the metabolism of pancreatic cancer cells affects their surroundings. It uses a biopsy (removing a small sample of tissue from a tumor in the pancreas, liver, or lung) to learn more about the cancer and guide treatment.
MarseilleAges 18 years+ - NCT07024238Enrolling by invitation
Short-chain fatty acid supplement for kidney transplant patients
This study tests whether taking a short-chain fatty acid (a type of fiber-like substance) supplement can improve gut health in people who have had a kidney transplant. It may help keep the transplant working well.
Martin, SlovakiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07480057Recruiting
Bone health changes after liver transplant
This study tracks how liver transplantation affects your bone density and mineral metabolism. It aims to find changes early, which can help prevent fractures later.
New Delhi, National Capital Territory of DelhiAges 18 years+ - NCT07470073RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Universal CAR-T cell therapy for B-cell leukemia (ages 12-75)
This trial tests a new type of CAR-T cell therapy (called universal CAR-T) that targets CD19 and CD20 markers on cancer cells. It is for people aged 12 to 75 with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia that has not responded to standard treatments or has come back after treatment.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 12–75 - NCT07463287Recruiting
Fatty liver and colorectal polyp risk study
This study looks at whether certain gene activity in people with fatty liver disease can predict the risk of developing colorectal polyps. It may help doctors find high-risk patients earlier.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT07415707Recruiting
Reducing alcohol and taking probiotics for brain health in older adults

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for metabolism?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,077 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.
