Recruiting studies
- NCT06571474Recruiting
Fat Cell Function in Obesity and Metabolism Study
This study looks at how a type of immune cell (macrophage) in fat tissue processes lipids, and how that affects metabolism in people with different body weights. It may help us understand why some people with obesity develop diabetes and fatty liver while others do not.

Liver Mitochondria Study in Fatty Liver Disease
This study looks at how the liver's mitochondria (the energy powerhouses of cells) work in people with fatty liver disease. Participants will have an MRI scan and receive a small amount of fat solution through an IV to see how the liver processes fat.
Helsinki, UusimaaAges 18–75 - NCT06559995RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3

This study tests whether a special ketone drink can ease alcohol withdrawal and help your brain heal. If you have been drinking heavily for at least 3 years and are having withdrawal symptoms now, this might be an option for you.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18–65 - NCT06556238Recruiting
Smoking cessation trial for Alaska Native people
This study tests a personalized approach to help Alaska Native and American Indian people quit smoking. You will get treatment based on a blood test, and the study will see if this approach works better than standard care.
Anchorage, AlaskaAges 18 years+ - NCT06536881Recruiting
Diet and gut health during breast cancer chemo
This study looks at how changing your diet during chemotherapy affects side effects and your body's energy use. It involves providing stool samples to study gut bacteria.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06538948Recruiting
Eating behavior after weight loss surgery
This study measures how people eat and how their gut hormones change after weight loss surgery. It compares different groups to understand differences between men and women.
Männedorf, Canton of ZurichAges 18 years+ - NCT06533007Enrolling by invitation
How PDE3B affects metabolism in healthy adults
This study looks at how a protein called PDE3B affects your body's metabolism (how it uses energy). It may help researchers understand weight and insulin resistance better, which could lead to new treatments.
CambridgeAges 21–75 - NCT06528314RecruitingPhase 3
Efruxifermin for NASH-related cirrhosis
This study tests a new medication called efruxifermin for people with cirrhosis (liver scarring) caused by NASH, a type of fatty liver disease. The goal is to see if the drug can help improve liver health and prevent further damage.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–80 - NCT06500156Recruiting
Metabolic patterns in septic shock patients
This study looks at how the body uses energy (metabolism) in people with septic shock. It collects information from standard monitoring during a fluid challenge (a small IV fluid test) to find patterns that might help doctors better understand and treat septic shock.
Sabadell, BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06499857RecruitingPhase 3
Semaglutide for atrial fibrillation and weight loss
This study tests whether a weekly injection of semaglutide (the same drug in Wegovy and Ozempic) can help people with atrial fibrillation lose weight and improve their heart condition. It's for people with AF who also have obesity, and may or may not plan to have a heart procedure called catheter ablation.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18–75 - NCT06500078Recruiting
Intermittent Diet for Heart Health in Kids
This study tests whether a special diet pattern (eating less at certain times) can improve heart health and blood sugar in school-aged children. It's for children who are overweight or have early signs of diabetes or heart risks.
ShanghaiAges 7–18 - NCT06507722Recruiting
Night Owl Metabolism Study
This study from Johns Hopkins looks at how your body's metabolism works when you're an overweight teen or young adult who sleeps enough. It aims to learn more about your 'night owl' internal clock and how it affects your health.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–23 - NCT02823665RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Compare how bariatric surgery affects blood sugar changes
This early trial studies how blood sugar moves in people after certain weight-loss surgery compared with people without surgery. It may help researchers understand why blood sugar can drop too low and how treatments like atropine affect that process.
San Antonio, TexasAges 18–65 - NCT01803451RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Tested after gastric bypass for low blood sugar
This early study looks at a gut hormone–based treatment (GLP-1) and how it affects blood sugar and digestion after gastric bypass. It may help people who are having repeated low blood sugar episodes after surgery.

Whole-food diet program for families to prevent type 2 diabetes
This 12-week program helps parents with prediabetes and their children eat healthier whole foods based on U.S. dietary guidelines. The goal is to see if the program can lower the risk of developing type 2 diabetes in the family.

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.
