Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07392905Recruiting
How the brain and body respond to food in obesity
This study looks at how your brain and body respond to food based on your weight. You'll eat a standard meal and have brain scans (MRI) to see how your brain reacts.

Ketogenic drink and muscle health in older adults
This study tests whether a special ketogenic drink taken for 4 weeks can improve how your body uses energy and help maintain muscle health. It may be a good option if you are between 60 and 80, overweight but not diabetic, and not very active.
MaastrichtAges 60–80 - NCT00162474Recruiting
Study of factors that affect warfarin treatment
This study looks at why some people process warfarin (a blood-thinning medicine) differently. It aims to learn what personal or medication factors may affect how well warfarin works, so future dosing can be safer and more accurate.
JerusalemAges 20–50 - NCT01143454Recruiting
Study unusual heart conditions and related genetic traits
This study looks at people with unusual or rare heart problems, or people with a family history of these issues. Doctors and researchers may collect and study your blood or tissue (and possibly store samples) to learn what causes the condition and how it may affect the heart.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 1–100 - NCT02024542Recruiting
How the body changes after bariatric surgery
This study looks at how metabolism (how your body handles food and energy) responds after weight-loss surgery. It may help researchers understand what changes to expect in people with diabetes or prediabetes and cholesterol problems.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18–55 - NCT00181259Recruiting
MRI scan study of heart muscle chemistry
This trial uses a special MRI scan to look at how the heart muscle uses fuel. It may help researchers understand heart conditions like dilated cardiomyopathy and coronary artery disease, especially in people with reduced heart pumping.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT01659749Recruiting

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.
