Recruiting studies
- NCT02683473Recruiting
Studies how babies use energy using special water
This study measures how healthy full-term infants use energy in their bodies by having them drink a special kind of water. It may help researchers better understand infant growth and metabolism, especially how feeding affects energy use.
Baton Rouge, LouisianaAges 1 month–3 months - NCT02356653RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Stem cell transplant help for children lacking a matching sibling
This expanded-access study offers a specific type of stem cell transplant preparation that removes certain immune cells (CD3 and CD19) from donor stem cells. It is for children who need a transplant but do not have a fully matched sibling donor and whose team cannot use the hospital’s usual matching device protocol.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges Up to 30 years - NCT02216500Recruiting
Study ketogenic diet effects in people with epilepsy
This study looks at how a high-fat, low-carbohydrate ketogenic diet may change electrical activity in the brain and related body measurements in people with epilepsy. You may be asked to follow the diet and keep records so the researchers can compare changes over time.
Gainesville, FloridaAges Up to 50 years - NCT01351545Recruiting
Cryopreserved cord blood access program for transplant patients
This trial studies an organized way to obtain and distribute unlicensed (not FDA-approved for general use) stored cord blood units that have been frozen and kept. It may help people who need a cord blood transplant but don’t fit the “licensed cord blood only” options.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Any age - NCT01668082Recruiting
Study brain tumor metabolism during planned brain surgery
This study looks at how brain tumors use energy (“metabolism”) during planned surgical removal. It may help researchers learn what makes tumors grow and how to improve future brain tumor treatments.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT01884051Recruiting
Study of blood and skin changes in pulmonary hypertension
This study looks at how hormones, metabolism, and body signals relate to pulmonary arterial hypertension. You may be eligible if you (or a family member) have idiopathic, inherited, or related pulmonary arterial hypertension, and you can do required blood and other testing.
Nashville, TennesseeAges Up to 90 years - 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 - NCT02095808Recruiting
Testing blood and body markers in lung and chest cancers
This study looks at “biomarkers,” which are measurable signs in the body (often in blood or samples), in people with lung or other chest cancers. It may help researchers better understand these cancers and improve how they’re diagnosed or tracked.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT01659749Recruiting
Support and nutrition programs for women with PKU
This study looks at how educational, social support, and nutrition help affect pregnancy outcomes and quality of life in women with PKU. It may help you better manage PKU-related needs before and during pregnancy.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 11 years+ - 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+ - NCT01084967Recruiting
Study genes behind obesity in young people from East China
This study looks at how genes may contribute to obesity in young people living in East China. If you meet the weight and background criteria and can consent, you may be able to help researchers learn more and improve care for obesity.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 14–30 - NCT00628199Enrolling by invitation
Skin sample study to create future cell therapies
This study collects skin cells from people with certain long-term conditions (or specific genetic disorders). Researchers use the cells to try to build new treatments for human disease and disability in the future.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 1–75 - NCT00920972RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Bone marrow transplant prep for children with non-cancer blood disorders
This early-stage study tests a specific chemotherapy “conditioning” regimen to prepare the body for a bone marrow transplant in children with certain non-cancer blood or immune conditions. It may help the transplant work better, but it also carries risks from the chemotherapy and transplant process.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges Up to 20 years - 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 - NCT00109174Recruiting
Brain chemical scan for healthy participants
This study uses a special MRI scan to measure natural brain chemicals. It helps researchers understand how the brain works in healthy people, which may inform future treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–65 - 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 - NCT01143480Recruiting
Testing how the body responds to endotoxin
This study checks how your immune system (your body’s defense system) reacts to a controlled substance that triggers inflammation. It may help researchers understand why some people have stronger or weaker inflammatory responses.
Research Triangle Park, North CarolinaAges 18–100 - NCT00369421Recruiting
Diagnosis and care for inherited metabolic conditions
This trial helps evaluate people who may have an inherited (genetic) metabolic or related disorder, and sometimes includes treatment or guidance based on the diagnosis. It may involve blood and urine testing, and participation can include in-person visits or telehealth.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 1 month–115 years - NCT00078078Recruiting
Understanding Methylmalonic Acidemia and Cobalamin Disorders
This research study follows patients with methylmalonic acidemia (a rare metabolic disorder affecting how the body breaks down certain proteins) or cobalamin (vitamin B12) disorders to better understand how these conditions develop and progress over time. Researchers will collect medical information, blood samples, and eye exams to help improve future treatments.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 1 month–115 years

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.
