Aurora, ColoradoAges 18–100 - NCT05838950Recruiting
Short high-intensity exercise program for cardiometabolic health
This trial studies whether a structured, short high-intensity exercise program can improve health markers related to weight, blood sugar, and blood fats in young adults with obesity. It may help you see if this kind of exercise leads to measurable health improvements.
Syracuse, New YorkAges 18–25 - NCT05845424RecruitingPhase 4
High-intensity cholesterol pills for people with silent calcium
This trial studies whether high-intensity statin plus ezetimibe can improve heart health in people who do not have symptoms but have calcium buildup in their heart arteries. It may help lower cholesterol and reduce future heart risks for the right participants.
SeoulAges 40 years+ - NCT05866107Recruiting
App and smart scale program for weight loss in bipolar or schizophrenia
This study tests whether using a health app and smart body-fat scales helps people who are overweight or obese lose weight. It is designed for adults with bipolar disorder or schizophrenia who are stable and can safely follow the weight-loss and activity plan.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–60 - NCT05894746Recruiting
Study to improve blood sugar and reduce inflammation
This study looks at how an intervention may improve blood sugar control and lower inflammation in the body. You may be able to take part unless you have a specific condition called celiac disease.
GothenburgAges 6 years+ - NCT05903950Recruiting
Air pollution study to help lower blood pressure
This trial tests whether an air-pollution–reduction approach in your home can help lower blood pressure. It focuses on adults with mildly high blood pressure and certain metabolic health markers.
DohaAges 18–60 - NCT05911620Recruiting
MRI test to measure liver scar severity in Cushing’s
This study uses a special MRI scan to measure how severe liver scarring is. It focuses on people with Cushing’s syndrome or suspected Cushing’s, or those with metabolic syndrome, to see how well the scan helps diagnose and assess severity.
NancyAges 18 years+ - NCT05912348Recruiting
Study of how an unhealthy lifestyle affects active young adults
This study looks at how eating or daily habits that promote weight gain (“obesogenic” lifestyle) affect fitness and health markers in young adults who already exercise. It may help researchers understand what lifestyle changes matter most, and whether certain patterns affect active people differently.
Durham, New HampshireAges 18–30 - NCT05924295Recruiting
Study how ketone changes in the body with diet and fasting
This study looks at how your body processes “ketones,” which are energy molecules that rise with fasting or low carbohydrate intake. You may be asked to follow strict diet and activity rules before test days so researchers can see what affects ketone metabolism.
Novato, CaliforniaAges 20–70 - NCT05934409Recruiting
Measuring body-fat storage after bariatric surgery
This study looks at how body fat is stored and how that may relate to early improvements in diabetes and heart/liver health after bariatric surgery. It may help researchers understand why some people recover faster and which body changes matter.
Sherbrooke, QuebecAges 18–65 - NCT05950282Recruiting
Study of insulin sensitivity differences by age and PCOS status
This study looks at how well the body uses insulin (insulin sensitivity) across different ages, sexes, races, body weights, and whether someone has PCOS. It may help researchers understand why insulin function varies and how PCOS could be linked to metabolic health.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05962190Recruiting
