Recruiting studies
- NCT05242835Recruiting
Study for weight regain after sleeve stomach surgery
This trial studies a specific type of metabolic (weight-related) surgery for people whose sleeve gastrectomy did not lead to enough weight loss or has caused significant weight regain. It may help improve long-term weight and related health problems.
Québec, QuebecAges 18–60 - NCT05246813Recruiting
Study blood cell changes in older adults
This study looks at how blood-forming stem cells change in people with clonal hematopoiesis (CHIP), a common age-related blood condition. It may help researchers understand what these changes mean and who might be at higher risk for future blood problems.

Study how energy use in the liver works in people with fatty liver and diabetes
This trial measures how your liver cells use energy (mitochondrial function) in people with type 2 diabetes and fatty liver. It aims to better understand what is happening in the liver and how disease severity may relate to diabetes.
San Antonio, TexasAges 18–80 - NCT05307289Recruiting
Melanoma trial studying why immunotherapy stops working
This study looks at how melanoma cells “use energy” (tumor metabolism) to understand why immunotherapy can become less effective over time. If you are starting immunotherapy for advanced skin melanoma, the results may help improve future treatments for resistance.
Nice, Alpes-maritimesAges 18 years+ - NCT05307367Recruiting
Study exercise and body muscle changes in advanced lung cancer
This study looks at why cancer can cause loss of muscle in people with advanced non–small cell lung cancer, and whether exercise can improve or explain those muscle changes. You may be asked to do physical testing and answer questionnaires while receiving standard palliative cancer treatment.
Copenhagen, DKAges 18–100 - NCT05315895Recruiting
Study of people with “dampness” signs in Chinese medicine
This is an observational study that looks at a Chinese-medicine pattern called “dampness” by collecting health and biological information from volunteers. It may help researchers better understand what this pattern looks like and how it relates to people’s health.

Studying brain sugar changes in adults with risky low blood sugar
This early-stage study looks at how the brain uses sugar in people with type 1 diabetes who have had severe or hard-to-notice low blood sugar. It may help researchers understand the brain effects of low blood sugar and guide safer care.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18–55 - NCT05318196Recruiting
Predict kidney disease risk and progression from patient data
This trial looks at ways to predict how kidney disease may develop, change, or cause complications using information from patients. It may help doctors identify people at higher risk and tailor care earlier.
ToulouseAges 18–99 - NCT05330923Recruiting
HIV and fatty liver check-in study with ultrasound follow-up
This study follows people with HIV who also have fatty liver disease and checks their health over time. It may help by improving monitoring and care planning, especially using ultrasound scans and regular follow-up.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT05332613Recruiting
Diet and meal timing study for fatty liver
This study looks at whether changing when and how people eat can improve fatty liver disease caused by metabolic problems. It uses MRI to measure liver fat and compares outcomes while participants follow a structured eating schedule.
New York, New YorkAges 18–65 - NCT05351476Recruiting
Exercise program for metabolism in postmenopausal women
This trial studies whether a structured exercise program can improve how your body uses fat. It is designed for postmenopausal women with higher weight and prediabetes who are not currently exercising much.
Tallahassee, FloridaAges 50–75 - NCT05380401Recruiting
DHA and ARA milk fats for very early preterm babies
This study looks at how adding two specific milk fats (DHA and ARA) through enteral feeding affects metabolism in very early preterm infants. It may help researchers understand what these nutrients do in babies born around 25–30 weeks gestation.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges Up to 8 months - NCT05399433Recruiting
Studying how sugar metabolism affects immune skin cells in psoriasis
This study looks at how blood sugar control (including diabetes) changes immune cells in the skin for people with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. It may help researchers understand what drives psoriasis and how it could respond to future treatments.
Nice, Alpes-maritimesAges 18–80 - NCT05430178Recruiting
Study of liver fat changes in kids with fatty liver disease
This study looks at how metabolism works in children and teens who have (or do not have) nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), a condition where fat builds up in the liver. Participants may include healthy-weight controls, obese controls without NAFLD, and kids with NAFLD who are already scheduled for a liver biopsy for clinical reasons.
Oklahoma City, OklahomaAges 10–20 - NCT05443100Recruiting
Testing whole-body cold therapy for metabolic, neurologic, or fibromyalgia pain
This trial studies whether a whole-body cold therapy called “WBC” can help people with certain metabolic conditions, neurologic conditions, or fibromyalgia. You may be able to join if you meet age and weight requirements and don’t have certain medical or safety risks.
Oggebbio, Verbano-Cusio-OssolaAges 18–65 - NCT05450783Recruiting
PET-MRI imaging study for arrhythmogenic heart disease
This study uses a special whole-heart scan (PET combined with MRI) to better understand the tissue and metabolism patterns in people with arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy. The goal is to see whether these scan patterns relate to symptoms now and how the disease may change over time.
AngersAges 16–99 - NCT05476627Recruiting
Study risk factors for kidney disease from metabolic conditions
This study looks at risk factors and body “omics” information (like blood/tissue patterns) to better understand chronic kidney disease caused by metabolic diseases. It may help researchers find better ways to predict or manage kidney problems in people with these conditions.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT05477134Recruiting
Arginine metabolism study in teens with type 2 diabetes
This study looks at how the body uses a nutrient called arginine in young people with type 2 diabetes and compares them to healthy peers. It may help researchers understand metabolism changes in diabetes and guide future treatments.

Tracking what predicts response in new PMR or GCA
This study looks at people newly diagnosed with polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) or giant cell arteritis (GCA) and uses their health and treatment information to learn what predicts how well treatment works. It may help your care in the future by improving which patients respond best and how.
BaselAges 18 years+ - NCT05499702RecruitingPhase 2

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.
