Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–65 - NCT07246421Recruiting
Glucagon resistance in fatty liver and diabetes
This study looks at how people with fatty liver and type 2 diabetes respond to glucagon, a hormone that helps control blood sugar. It may help researchers understand a condition called 'glucagon resistance' and find better treatments.
AarhusAges 30–70 - NCT07680205RecruitingPhase 2
Study of Belzutifan for Pheochromocytoma or Paraganglioma
This trial tests a drug called belzutifan to see how it affects hormone levels in people with rare adrenal tumors (pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma). It may help control symptoms caused by excess hormones.

Study of blood thinner response after carotid stent
This study looks at how well clopidogrel works in adults who receive a carotid artery stent and are on dual blood thinners. It may help doctors understand why some people don’t get the expected benefit and improve treatment after stenting.
San Donato Milanese, MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT06843148Recruiting
Does niacin help move fat from liver to fat tissue?
This study tests if niacin (a B vitamin) can help the body store fat safely in fat tissue instead of letting it build up in the liver. It may be an option for people with fatty liver linked to belly fat, without serious liver damage or other health issues.
Sherbrooke, QuebecAges 20–80 - NCT07682363Recruiting

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.
