Recruiting studies
- NCT06928701Recruiting
Diet and exercise for early breast cancer before surgery

Studying cholesterol's role in memory and thinking decline
This study looks at how cholesterol and related substances in the body may be linked to the development and progression of certain dementias. It aims to find better ways to understand and track these diseases.
Torino, toAges 40–85 - 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.

Protein-controlled diet for kidney disease management
This trial tests a low-protein diet (called PLADO) to help manage chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages 3–5. It aims to slow kidney decline and improve nutrition. You may join if your kidney function is stable and your blood sugar and blood pressure are under control.
BeirutAges 18 years+ - NCT07198789Recruiting
Low-sugar carbs for better fat and sugar levels
This study tests whether special carbohydrates that release sugar slowly (low glycemic index) can improve your blood fats (triglycerides) and other health markers better than regular whole grains. If you have moderately high triglycerides, this diet swap might help your metabolism and blood vessels.
Bologna, BOAges 18 years+ - NCT07202247RecruitingPhase 2
Improving heart health in prostate cancer patients on hormone therapy
This study tests whether combining a time-restricted eating plan, a heart-healthy diet, and a weight-loss medication (GLP-1 receptor agonist) can help improve heart health and weight in men with prostate cancer who are receiving hormone therapy. It aims to reduce the risk of heart problems caused by hormone treatment.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 30–79 - NCT03152617Recruiting
Study on nutrition and mouth health risks after obesity treatment
This trial looks at risks like malnutrition, weak bones, and oral (mouth) health problems after obesity treatment. It may help improve follow-up care for people who receive specialist treatment or weight-loss surgery.
GothenburgAges 18 years+ - NCT06939569Recruiting
Studying fatty liver disease in people with inflammatory bowel disease
This study looks at how common non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is in people with inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's or colitis). Researchers want to learn more about the link between the two conditions.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT07191561Recruiting
Liver fat and alcohol use disorder study
This trial looks at how the liver processes fat in people with alcohol use disorder. It may help find better ways to treat liver problems related to drinking.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT07188077Recruiting
Study of immune changes in brain lymphoma
This trial looks at the immune system and metabolism of people with primary central nervous system lymphoma (a type of brain cancer) to find differences that might help with future treatments. It does not test a new drug, but collects samples and medical information.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–75 - NCT07189117Recruiting
Study of cell metabolism in blood cancers
This study looks at how blood cancer cells use energy (metabolism) and how that affects the immune system. Researchers hope to find new ways to treat these cancers by understanding cell metabolism better.
BaselAges 18 years+ - NCT07185932RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Rifaximin for fatty liver with metabolic issues
This trial tests if rifaximin, a gut-targeted antibiotic, can help people with fatty liver disease who also have metabolic problems like obesity or diabetes. You need a recent fatty liver diagnosis and a liver fat level of at least 8% on an MRI scan.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07189234RecruitingPhase 2
Time-restricted eating for better heart health
This trial tests if eating all your meals within a shorter window each day can improve blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol. You may qualify if you have prediabetes or metabolic syndrome and eat over 12 hours daily.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - NCT07178704Recruiting
Genes and metabolism after weight loss surgery
This study looks at how your genes and metabolism affect changes in body composition after weight loss surgery. It aims to understand why some people lose more weight or gain muscle differently than others.
Galveston, TexasAges 18–65 - NCT07183488Recruiting
Short-chain fatty acids and metabolism in healthy adults
This trial tests how short-chain fatty acids (compounds made when gut bacteria digest fiber) affect metabolism in healthy people. It may help researchers understand how these natural substances can improve health.
Copenhagen, Copenhagen NAges 18–40 - NCT07179926Recruiting
Impact of pasireotide on bone health in acromegaly
This trial studies how pasireotide LAR—a drug that controls growth hormone levels—affects bone health in people with acromegaly whose disease is not well-controlled after 6 months of another therapy. It may help patients understand the bone benefits of switching to this treatment.
Rome, RMAges 18 years+ - NCT06212479Recruiting
Whole-body MRI for Preventive Health Screening
This study uses whole-body MRI to see if it can find health issues early in people without symptoms. The goal is to learn if this scan can help predict clinically important conditions in routine preventive care.
Watertown, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07173504Recruiting
Continuous vs. intermittent tube feeding in ICU patients
This trial compares giving tube feeding continuously versus taking breaks to see which approach helps critically ill patients' metabolism better. It is for adults in the ICU who need a breathing tube and will be fed through a stomach tube.
Ede, GelderlandAges 18 years+ - NCT07172009Recruiting
Does chlorhexidine mouthwash affect blood sugar after meals?
This trial tests whether using chlorhexidine mouthwash changes how your body handles sugar after eating. It may help us understand a new way to manage blood sugar levels.
Plymouth, DevonAges 18 years+ - NCT07170527Recruiting
Metabolic signs, recovery, and physical function after ICU stay
This study looks at whether certain molecules in the blood (metabolic signatures) are linked to how well people recover physically after a serious illness requiring intensive care. By understanding these links, doctors might be able to better predict and support recovery.
Ede, GelderlandAges 18 years+ - NCT07157813Enrolling by invitation

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.
