Recruiting studies
- NCT05736302Recruiting
Check an activity-tracking algorithm against a body-weight test
This trial checks whether a new computer algorithm that uses an accelerometer (movement sensor) can accurately estimate your body’s activity and energy use. It compares the phone/wearable movement data to results from a special way of measuring how your body uses energy.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT05743868Recruiting
Study of how insulin resistance affects blood fats
This study looks at how differences in insulin resistance may change how the liver makes triglycerides (a type of blood fat). It may help researchers understand why some people have higher triglycerides and how to target them better.
AmsterdamAges 18–65 - NCT05736367Recruiting
Study tumor metabolism in certain types of breast cancer surgery
This study looks at how breast cancer cells use energy and nutrients in hormone-receptor positive, HER2-negative tumors during planned surgery. It may help researchers understand the cancer better by comparing tumor tissue with nearby normal tissue.
New Brunswick, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT04838249Recruiting
Hormone therapy study on eating, energy, and heart health
This study looks at how cross-sex hormone therapy affects appetite (eating behavior), metabolism (how your body uses food), energy balance, and cardiovascular (heart and blood vessel) health. You may be included if you meet specific health and safety requirements and can follow study procedures.
Leipzig, SaxonyAges 18 years+ - NCT05693701Recruiting
Lifestyle and study program for blood donors with high cholesterol
This study tests a multicomponent program for people who donate blood and have high cholesterol that fits familial hypercholesterolemia criteria. It may help lower cholesterol, but you must not already be on cholesterol-lowering medicines.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–75 - NCT05691036Recruiting
Studying bile acid levels and genes in pregnancy itching
This study looks at bile acid levels and possible genetic changes in people with persistent pregnancy itching. The goal is to better understand the cause of intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy and related pregnancy outcomes.
Chandigarh, ChandigarhAges 21–45 - NCT05681468Recruiting
Ketogenic diet trial for blood sugar and inflammation outcomes
This study compares two versions of a ketogenic (very low-carb) diet to see how they affect blood sugar control and inflammation. It may help people with overweight or obesity who have pre-diabetes-level blood sugar understand which fat sources work better.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 18–70 - NCT05674513RecruitingPhase 4
Study how metabolism differences affect emergency contraception
This trial looks at whether differences in how your body processes a certain emergency contraceptive can change how well it works. You may be asked to provide a progesterone blood test during your cycle to confirm that ovulation is happening.
Portland, OregonAges 18–40 - NCT05242835Recruiting
Study for weight regain after sleeve stomach surgery
This trial studies a specific type of metabolic (weight-related) surgery for people whose sleeve gastrectomy did not lead to enough weight loss or has caused significant weight regain. It may help improve long-term weight and related health problems.
Québec, QuebecAges 18–60 - NCT05654272Recruiting
Testing CIRC imaging technology for people with heart problems
This study is developing and testing CIRC technologies using heart imaging. You may be able to join if you’re an adult with cardiovascular (heart) disease and can safely have the MRI scans.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05651919Recruiting
Blood test study to understand diabetic heart weakness
This study measures immune cells from your blood to find markers (biomarkers) that may explain or predict diabetic cardiomyopathy, a type of heart condition linked to diabetes. You may benefit mainly by being closely monitored and contributing to research that could improve future diagnosis or risk tracking.
BronAges 40–85 - NCT05670288Recruiting
Studying how gut bacteria affect digestion after spinal cord injury
This study looks at how changes in gut bacteria may affect bowel function and metabolism during the first year after a spinal cord injury. You may be asked about bowel symptoms and other factors, and your results may help guide future care for digestion problems after injury.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–85 - NCT05650307Recruiting
Heart and metabolic scan study of weight and rehabilitation
This study uses detailed heart scans and information about metabolism (how your body uses energy) to understand how metabolic treatments and heart rehabilitation may affect your health. You may qualify either as someone undergoing bariatric (weight-loss) care or as part of a heart rehabilitation group—or as a healthy comparison group.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05600946Recruiting
Study of body differences in creatine transporter deficiency
This study looks at physical and body features in people with creatine transporter deficiency caused by a specific gene change (SLC6A8). It may help doctors better understand the condition and how it shows up, which can improve future care.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–40 - NCT05623150Recruiting
Biopsy-based study for alcohol and metabolic liver disease
This trial studies people with liver disease linked to alcohol use or metabolic syndrome (a cluster of conditions like weight gain and insulin resistance). It uses recent standard-of-care liver biopsy results to better understand these chronic liver problems and how they relate to cancer risk.
NiceAges 18 years+ - NCT05610228Recruiting
Metabolism study in CLL lymph nodes
This study looks at how chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) cells use energy in lymph nodes. It may help find new ways to treat CLL in the future.
NiceAges 18–90 - NCT05628948Recruiting
Donate blood for a heart and metabolism research biobank
This study builds a “biobank,” which is a collection of blood and related samples, to support future research on heart and metabolic (sugar/body-fat) conditions. It may help researchers better understand these diseases and improve future prevention and treatments.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05632562RecruitingEarly Phase 1
PET/MRI scan study for newly diagnosed brain cancer changes
This early-phase study uses special PET/MRI scans to look at how a newly diagnosed high-grade glioma is changing under standard treatment. The goal is to see whether these scans can better assess the disease, which may help guide future care.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 10–89 - NCT05551559Enrolling by invitation
How bariatric surgery changes liver metabolism in fatty liver disease
This study looks at how bariatric (weight-loss) surgery affects how your liver processes nutrients in people with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. It may help researchers understand what changes in the body after surgery and whether that could guide better future care.
HelsinkiAges 18–75 - NCT05585190Recruiting
Sit-stand desk study for people at diabetes risk
This trial tests whether using a sit-stand desk at work helps people who are overweight and at risk for diabetes. Participants may be asked to change how much they sit during the workday to improve health markers.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18–79 - NCT05590624Recruiting
Mediterranean diet study for men on prostate cancer active surveillance
This trial studies how different controlled versions of a Mediterranean-style diet may affect prostate cancer-related metabolism in men choosing active surveillance. It may help participants understand whether diet changes influence markers linked to prostate cancer activity, while keeping them on a monitored care plan.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05566301Recruiting
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.

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.
