Resmetirom for liver health after transplant in MASH patients
This trial tests an experimental drug, resmetirom, to see if it can help people who have had a liver transplant for MASH and now have fatty buildup in their new liver. It may also help people who had a transplant for other reasons but developed fatty liver afterward. The study focuses on those with moderate to advanced liver scarring (F2-F3).

CAR-T cell therapy for moderate to severe lupus
This study tests whether a new CAR-T cell treatment (called CT1195E) can help people with lupus that hasn't improved with standard medicines. CAR-T cells are specially trained immune cells that seek out and destroy certain faulty immune cells, which may reduce lupus symptoms. The trial is for people with moderate to severe active lupus affecting organs like the kidneys, heart, or blood system.

Kelowna, British ColumbiaAges 19–35 - NCT06669663Recruiting
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.
LondonAges 18–90 - NCT06590623Recruiting
How a ketone supplement affects your immune cells
This study tests what happens to your immune cells when you take a single dose of a common ingredient (ketone supplement) after not eating overnight. Researchers want to see if it changes how your immune system works at a molecular level.
Kelowna, British ColumbiaAges 19 years+ - NCT07334080RecruitingPhase 1
Study of how food affects ECC4703 in healthy adults
This trial tests how taking the study drug ECC4703 with or without food affects its levels in the body, and how well the body absorbs it. It helps find the best way to take the drug.
Adelaide, South AustraliaAges 18–65 - NCT07325526RecruitingPhase 2
Testing an experimental drug for liver cirrhosis caused by MASH
This study tests an investigational medicine (BI 3802876) in people with early-stage liver cirrhosis due to MASH. The goal is to see if it is well tolerated and potentially helpful.
Chandler, ArizonaAges 18–75 - NCT07326111RecruitingPhase 4
Tirzepatide for PCOS and weight in women
This study tests if tirzepatide (a once-weekly injection) can improve periods and metabolic health in women with PCOS who are overweight. If you have PCOS, irregular cycles, and a BMI of 27 or higher, you might qualify.
BochumAges 18–45 - NCT07329231Recruiting
Quinoa for early type 2 diabetes control
This study tests whether adding quinoa to your diet can help manage blood sugar and improve how your body uses insulin. It focuses on people recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.
Jinan, ShandongAges 20–70 - NCT07329283Recruiting
Nighttime nutrition and sleep health study

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.
