Recruiting studies
- NCT06007404Recruiting
Understanding metabolism and inflammation in teens
This study looks at how metabolism and inflammation relate to diabetes risk in teenagers. It may help researchers understand why some teens develop type 2 diabetes.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 14–18 - NCT07822763Recruiting
Carbohydrate drink before weight-loss surgery for faster recovery
This study tests whether drinking a special carbohydrate drink before weight-loss surgery can help your stomach and intestines recover faster after the operation. If you have metabolic syndrome and are planning certain types of bariatric surgery, this may help you improve your recovery.

Metabolic surgery registry for sleeve or bypass patients
This registry collects information from people who plan to have metabolic surgery, such as sleeve gastrectomy or gastric bypass. It may help doctors learn which approaches work best and improve care over time.
BeijingAges Any age - NCT02362685Recruiting
Metabolic exercise testing study
This study is about doing a breathing-and-heart performance test while you exercise to better understand how your body uses energy. You may join if you’re referred for this type of test and can safely complete it.
BrestAges 5 years+ - NCT04371042Recruiting
Study of liver disease and genes in people with fatty liver
This study collects information about metabolic and unexplained (cryptogenic) liver disease and looks at “omics” tests, which are lab tests that measure patterns in blood or tissue to learn what drives the disease. It may help researchers better understand fatty liver and related serious complications, like liver scarring and liver cancer.
Roma, Rome/lazio/italyAges 18 years+ - NCT04573283Recruiting
Study of fatty liver in adults in China
This study follows adults with fatty liver to learn more about how it progresses and what patterns are common. It may help improve future ways of identifying and monitoring fatty liver.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT03951311Recruiting
Diet and lifestyle study for people with weaker heart pumping
This study looks at how metabolic changes, diet, and lifestyle patterns affect heart failure. It may help find ways to improve symptoms and health by targeting diet and daily habits.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 14–90 - NCT03669809Recruiting
Study of how body timing affects metabolism
This trial looks at how “biological rhythm” (your body’s timing over the day and night) relates to metabolism, or how your body processes energy. It may help researchers understand whether timing patterns affect health and metabolic functions.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18–30 - NCT04039763Recruiting
Glucose monitoring for young adults at risk of DKA
This study tests a real-time glucose monitor (RT-CGM) to help young adults with insulin-treated diabetes recognize dangerously high or fast-changing blood sugars. It may help lower the risk of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), a serious complication that can lead to urgent care or hospital stays.
LondonAges 18–25 - NCT03215836Recruiting
Study obesity and metabolism in adults with asthma
This study looks at how weight and blood-sugar/fat changes in the body may affect the airways in people with asthma. You may be asked to complete breathing tests and possibly an airway procedure (bronchoscopy) to help researchers compare groups.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18–65 - NCT06012227Recruiting
Cheese and metabolic health in middle age
This study looks at how eating cheese affects your body's ability to use energy (metabolic flexibility). It is for healthy middle-aged adults who are not overweight and do not have metabolic conditions like diabetes.
Monserrato, CagliariAges 45–65 - NCT06232889Recruiting
Imaging study to check liver tumor response to radiation treatment
This study uses special MRI scans and PET scans to see how liver tumors respond to a radiation treatment called radioembolization (SIRT). The goal is to improve how treatment response is measured in people with metastatic liver disease.
UtrechtAges 18 years+ - NCT06368154Recruiting
Studying early markers for brittle bones in newborns
This trial looks for tiny particles in the blood that might help doctors detect bone weakness in premature babies. It aims to find early signs of metabolic bone disease, which could lead to better care.
Changsha, HunanAges birth–3 days - NCT06394934Recruiting
Home blood pressure changes and artery health in hypertension
This study looks at how changes in home blood pressure readings over time relate to hardening of the arteries and metabolic problems in people with high blood pressure. If you take medication for high blood pressure and monitor your pressure at home, you may help researchers understand these connections better.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT04912648Recruiting
Study of metabolic risk and androgens in Irish women
This study looks at how hormones called androgens may relate to “metabolic risk” (things like blood sugar and weight-related health) over time. It mainly needs healthy adult women who can avoid certain medications during the weeks before starting.
DublinAges 18 years+ - NCT06216496Recruiting
Amino acid changes in advanced ovarian cancer
This study looks at how ovarian cancer changes the body's use of amino acids, which are building blocks of proteins. It may help find new ways to monitor or treat the disease.
La TroncheAges 40–70 - NCT07836088Recruiting
Ultrasound muscle check for metabolic health
This study uses ultrasound scans to measure muscle mass in people with metabolic conditions like type 2 diabetes and obesity. It may help doctors understand how these conditions affect muscles and could lead to better care.
Zhangzhou, FujianAges 18 years+ - NCT07833007Recruiting
Dietary changes for metabolic syndrome in teens with familial Mediterranean fever
This trial tests whether limiting certain foods can improve metabolic syndrome (a group of conditions like high blood sugar and extra belly fat) in teenagers who also have familial Mediterranean fever (a genetic condition causing repeated fevers and inflammation). It may help manage both conditions together.
Giza, DokkiAges 13–17 - NCT07822360Recruiting
Acne and hormonal imbalance risk in young women
This study looks at how common polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS), a hormonal condition, is in women with acne. It aims to find if acne could be a sign of this condition, which might help with early detection and treatment.
SohagAges 15–49 - NCT07810816Recruiting
Genetic testing for personalized pain relief after surgery
This study looks at how your genes affect your body's response to tramadol, a painkiller given through a pump after surgery. The goal is to see if your genetic makeup influences pain relief and side effects, which could help personalize pain treatment in the future.
Medellín, AntioquiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07801001Enrolling by invitation
Zinc supplements for women with polycystic ovary syndrome
This study tests whether taking zinc supplements can improve insulin resistance and reduce symptoms in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). If you have PCOS and are not pregnant, you may be able to join.
DhakaAges 18–45 - NCT07804290Enrolling by invitation
Recovery and satisfaction after metabolic surgery
This study looks at how well patients recover and how satisfied they are after metabolic surgery (weight-loss surgery) at a hospital in Gauteng, South Africa. It uses simple questionnaires to understand the patient experience.
Ga-Rankuwa, GautengAges 18 years+ - NCT06524037Recruiting
Metabolic profiles and chronic disease study
This study looks at how your metabolic health (like blood sugar and cholesterol) relates to chronic diseases and cancer. If you are an adult who has already had a health screening, you may be able to join.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for metabolism?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,050 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.
