Recruiting studies
- 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.

Metabolic flexibility and lifestyle change study
This study looks at how your body's metabolism responds to lifestyle changes like diet or exercise. If you are an adult with obesity (BMI over 30) and no major health issues, you may be able to join a program that helps you understand your body's energy use.
PragueAges 25–45 - NCT06329544Recruiting
Study of a high-fructose diet and gut health
This trial tests how a high-fructose diet affects your gut bacteria and overall metabolic health. It is for people who already know they don't absorb fructose well (fructose malabsorbers) and want to understand how this sugar impacts their body.
New York, New YorkAges 25–45 - NCT06330922Recruiting
Muscle and tendon health study in cerebral palsy
This study looks at muscle and tendon health in people with spastic cerebral palsy who are mildly to severely affected. It involves using a special running frame to see how it affects the body.
GrazAges 14–30 - NCT06334172Recruiting
Can oxytocin control blood sugar?
This trial tests if the hormone oxytocin helps control blood sugar levels. It may offer insight into new ways to manage glucose. You may be a good fit if you are a healthy adult with a normal BMI.
Hellerup, Capital RegionAges 20–50 - NCT06335771Recruiting
Study on fat metabolism in obesity and diabetes
This study looks at how fat is processed in the body for people with different health conditions, including obesity and type 2 diabetes. It aims to find new ways to improve treatment by understanding these differences.
Columbia, MissouriAges 18–70 - NCT06336369Recruiting
Brown fat activity in Gilbert's syndrome
This study looks at brown fat activity in people with Gilbert's syndrome, a harmless condition that causes slightly high bilirubin levels. It compares them to people without the condition to see if the extra bilirubin affects brown fat, which may help with weight and metabolism.
ViennaAges 18–65 - NCT06338631Recruiting
Early kidney check in people with excess weight
This study looks for early signs of kidney problems in people with excess weight, even if they are otherwise healthy. It aims to understand how weight affects kidneys before any disease develops.
MilanAges 18–60 - NCT06338553RecruitingEarly Phase 1
GLP-1 drug for early type 1 diabetes
This study tests whether a GLP-1 receptor agonist (a type of medicine that helps control blood sugar and appetite) can improve metabolic health in people with early type 1 diabetes. It may be an option if you have already taken teplizumab to delay the disease or were recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 12–50 - NCT06355154Recruiting
Moderate carbohydrate diet for pregnant women with diabetes
This study tests whether eating a moderate amount of carbohydrates (carbs) can help control blood sugar and improve pregnancy outcomes in women with diabetes who use insulin. If you are pregnant with one baby and use insulin for diabetes, this trial may help you find a balanced diet approach.
JerusalemAges 18–45 - NCT06359444Recruiting
Exercise therapy for fatty liver disease
This study tests whether a high-intensity exercise program can improve liver function and insulin sensitivity in people with MASLD (a type of fatty liver disease). It may help you if you are looking for a non-drug way to manage your condition.
GhentAges 18–75 - NCT06360913Recruiting
Blood and urine test for rare metabolic diseases
This study uses a simple blood spot and urine test to look for chemical signs of rare metabolic diseases. It aims to improve early detection and understanding of these conditions across all ages, including healthy individuals.
BrusselsAges 1 day–99 years - NCT06366230RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Adding urea to final dialysis fluid
This trial tests adding urea to the final dialysis fluid for people with very high urea levels. It aims to make dialysis safer and more effective for those who need it urgently.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06370312Recruiting
Biomarkers for thumb osteoarthritis surgery
This study looks at joint fluid and tissue samples from people with thumb base osteoarthritis who are already scheduled for a surgery called trapeziectomy. The goal is to find markers that might help better understand the disease and improve treatment.
Malmö, Skåne CountyAges 25 years+ - NCT06373016Recruiting
Ketone drink study for stable bipolar disorder
This study tests whether a ketone drink can change how the body uses energy in people with bipolar disorder. It may help understand new ways to manage the condition.
Belmont, MassachusettsAges 18–45 - NCT06377254Recruiting
How activity or inactivity changes your body
This study looks at how changing your physical activity level (either becoming more or less active) affects your whole body over 6 months. It is for people aged 50–65 who are overweight and either quite sedentary or fairly active, and who are willing to change their routine.
Nottingham, NottsAges 50–65 - NCT06380387Recruiting
Metabolism in children before and after brain tumor treatment
This study looks at how the body's energy use (metabolism) changes in children with a brain tumor before and after treatment. The goal is to understand how the tumor and its treatment affect the body, which may help improve care in the future.
Copenhagen, Copenhagen ØAges 6–18 - NCT06383208Recruiting
Heart and kidney risk study for people with both diseases
This study looks at how well we can predict heart and kidney problems in people who have both coronary heart disease and chronic kidney disease. By analyzing certain markers, researchers hope to create a better risk assessment tool.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06383338RecruitingPhase 1
Metabolism Changes in Young People with Lymphoma
This study looks at how your body's metabolism (processing of food and medicine) changes after you start treatment for lymphoma. It uses two safe, commonly used drugs (omeprazole and dextromethorphan) to measure these changes.
Melbourne, VictoriaAges 6–25 - NCT06386094Recruiting
Fatty Liver Disease and Heart Function Study
This study checks how fatty liver disease (a condition where fat builds up in the liver) affects the heart. If you have this liver condition and are between 18 and 65, you may help doctors understand the link between liver health and heart function.
Chandigarh, ChandigarhAges 18–65 - NCT06395246Recruiting
Weight loss and tiny cell particles study
This study looks at how weight loss from a special diet affects tiny particles in your blood, called microvesicles, that help control your body's energy use. It may help us understand why weight loss improves health for people with obesity.
Tarragona, TarragonaAges 18–70 - NCT06395844RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
NK cell therapy for advanced ovarian cancer
This trial tests a new therapy that uses your own natural killer (NK) cells, modified to better fight cancer and injected directly into your abdomen. It's for people with advanced ovarian cancer who cannot have surgery or whose tumor cannot be fully removed.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–70 - NCT06396871Recruiting

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.
