Recruiting studies
- NCT04407780Recruiting
Cardio-oncology patient registry
This is a registry (a research database) for people who are being followed in cardio-oncology, which means care for heart problems related to cancer or cancer treatments. It may help doctors better understand these conditions and improve future care.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT04410003RecruitingPhase 1
Stool-sample capsules to study gut microbiome in unexplained atherosclerosis
This early-phase study tests whether taking stool-based capsules can change gut bacteria in people with severe atherosclerosis that can’t be explained by usual risk factors. Researchers also measure related metabolic (body chemistry) and microbiome (gut bacteria) changes to see how this approach might help.
London, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT04471506Recruiting
Breathing and walking program for hormonal and tumor markers
This study tests whether a combined program of interval aerobic training (alternate “hard/easy” exercise) and mindfulness breathing can improve hormone, metabolic (body chemistry/energy), and tumor marker measures in women after menopause. If you meet the criteria, you may benefit from structured activity and breathing techniques while researchers track health changes over time.
CairoAges 55–65 - NCT04528355Recruiting
Study of hospital data after stem cell transplant for non-cancer illness
This study collects medical information from people with certain non-cancer conditions who receive a stem cell transplant. It may help doctors better understand transplant outcomes and care, since the study focuses on data collection rather than adding new treatment.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 2 months–60 years - NCT04528446Recruiting
Study bone strength in people with kidney filtering disorders
This study looks at how kidney filtering problems (glomerular disorders) may affect bone quality and strength. It may help researchers understand who is at higher risk for weak bones and fractures and why.
New York, New YorkAges 5–55 - NCT04534543Recruiting
Imaging scans to personalize chemotherapy for liver spread of bowel cancer
This trial tests whether special liver imaging can help doctors choose or guide the best chemotherapy for people with liver metastases from gastrointestinal cancer. The study focuses on comparing imaging-based information with outcomes during common chemo treatments like CAPOX or FOLFOX.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT04583514Recruiting
Overfeeding study to see how body fat can expand
This trial studies how your body’s fat tissue changes when you eat extra food for 8 weeks. It may help researchers understand why some people gain more weight than others.
Baton Rouge, LouisianaAges 18–42 - NCT04623502Recruiting
Study of kidney and bladder cancer metabolism during surgery
This study looks at how kidney and bladder (urothelial) tumors use fuel by taking samples during surgery or biopsy. It may help researchers learn what drives these cancers and guide better future treatments.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04634591Recruiting
Weight-loss surgery study for people with severe obesity
This trial studies bariatric (weight-loss) surgery and how well it helps people reach and keep a healthier weight. You may qualify if you have severe obesity and have not been able to maintain weight loss with other attempts, and if you can safely follow the study plan.
Bialystok, Podlaskie VoivodeshipAges 18 years+ - NCT04644016RecruitingPhase 2
Cord blood transplant for children and young adults with blood cancers
This Phase 2 trial studies using a cord blood transplant after finding it is risky enough that standard treatment may not be sufficient. It may help certain children and young adults with specific leukemia, lymphoma, and some non-cancer blood/immune or inherited disorders who do not have a well-matched donor available in time.
New York, New YorkAges Up to 21 years - NCT04654000Recruiting
Rheopheresis to treat painful skin damage in calciphylaxis
This trial studies whether a treatment called rheopheresis, added to standard care, can help people with calciphylaxis whose skin wounds are getting worse. It may be considered when ulcers or dead (necrotic) skin appear despite conventional treatment.
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT04658303Recruiting
Study of immune and metabolism changes in in-transit melanoma
This trial studies how the immune system and body metabolism change in people with in-transit melanoma (melanoma spread to nearby skin). It aims to understand what’s happening in these lesions and how that information could guide better treatment.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04708431Recruiting
Study of health and wellbeing in people with androgen insensitivity
This study looks at the long-term health and wellbeing of people with androgen insensitivity, a genetic condition that affects how the body responds to androgens (male-type hormones). It may help your care team understand what to watch for over time and improve future guidance for patients and families.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 8–99 - NCT04720560Recruiting
Study how immune cells affect fatty liver disease
This study looks at how certain immune cells (“regulatory B cells”) may contribute to metabolic fatty liver disease. You might be able to join if you’re an adult with fatty liver but not pregnant and not on certain treatments.
AsyutAges 18–80 - NCT04735835Recruiting
Personalized diet testing using ZOE app and blood samples
This trial studies how different food compositions affect your body, using the ZOE testing program plus meals you eat and blood samples you collect. It may help you learn more about what foods work best for you, especially if you have a long-term health condition.
Needham, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04740580RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Test glutathione for brain inflammation in Alzheimer’s
This early-stage study tests whether taking glutathione can affect brain “inflammation” and metabolism in people with Alzheimer’s disease. You might benefit from a new treatment approach, while helping researchers understand what works best for early Alzheimer’s-related brain changes.
Houston, TexasAges 55–85 - NCT04772456RecruitingPhase 1
MRI scan using a special sugar to study infiltrating brain tumors
This early study (Phase 1) tests a new kind of MRI that uses a special labeled sugar (pyruvate) to help learn how infiltrating gliomas behave in the brain. If you have a suspected or known infiltrating glioma and are having brain surgery or biopsy, this may help your doctors learn more about tumor metabolism and guide future care.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–80 - NCT04785989Recruiting
Blood and marrow testing to study metabolism in CLL
This study measures how your body’s metabolism works in people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). It uses blood tests, and for some people, a bone marrow sample, to better understand what’s happening and potentially guide future treatments.
Madison, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT04802707RecruitingPhase 2
Study drug for mitochondrial depletion disorder due to gene changes
This Phase 2 trial tests a treatment made from deoxynucleosides to help people with mitochondrial depletion disorder caused by certain gene changes. If you match the genetic diagnosis, the study may see whether the treatment improves symptoms or disease markers.
Montreal, QuebecAges 1 month–60 years - NCT04838249Recruiting
Hormone therapy study on eating, energy, and heart health
This study looks at how cross-sex hormone therapy affects appetite (eating behavior), metabolism (how your body uses food), energy balance, and cardiovascular (heart and blood vessel) health. You may be included if you meet specific health and safety requirements and can follow study procedures.
Leipzig, SaxonyAges 18 years+ - NCT04844684Recruiting
Study hormones and bile acids in women with obesity

Study how immune-related conditions affect metabolism
This study collects blood and other samples to see how the immune system changes “metabolism” (how your body uses energy) in people with immune-related conditions. Your samples may also be stored for future research and could help researchers better understand immune health.

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.
