Metabolic syndrome and recovery after colorectal cancer surgery
This trial studies how metabolic syndrome (a mix of high blood pressure, diabetes, and other factors) changes after colorectal cancer surgery. It aims to understand why some people's metabolic syndrome gets better after their tumor is removed, which could lead to better treatments.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06693544Enrolling by invitation
Peanut sip study for muscle health in older adults
This study looks at how older adults process a peanut-based protein drink. If you already took part in an earlier peanut sip study, you may be able to join this one and help us learn more about muscle health.
College Station, TexasAges 65–80 - NCT06639126Enrolling by invitation
Thyme extract for functional gut issues
This trial tests whether a wild thyme extract can help with functional gastrointestinal disorders (common digestive problems without a clear cause). It focuses on the extract's anti-inflammatory and metabolism-related effects.
Granada, GranadaAges 18–75 - 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 - NCT06334666Enrolling by invitation
Step counting for fatty liver disease management
This trial tests if using a pedometer to track daily steps can help people with a type of fatty liver disease (called MASLD) become more active and improve their health. It may be a good fit if you are not already very active and want to try a simple way to manage your condition.
Bangkoknoi, BangkokAges 18 years+ - NCT06320782Enrolling by invitation
Diet and belly fat study for overweight adults
This study tests how different diets affect belly fat, thigh muscle, and heart health in people who are overweight. It might help you find a way to eat that improves your health.
Recife, PernambucoAges 20 years+ - NCT06041581Enrolling by invitation
Insomnia treatment study for heart health
This study tests whether treating insomnia can help lower your risk for heart disease. If you have trouble sleeping and certain heart risk factors, you may be able to join.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 40 years+ - NCT06023407Enrolling by invitation
Heat therapy for blood sugar and Alzheimer's prevention
This study tests whether regular heat therapy (like sitting in a hot tub) can help improve blood sugar control and lower the risk of Alzheimer's disease in older women who have metabolic problems.
Kansas City, KansasAges 65 years+ - NCT05799768Enrolling by invitation
Ketogenic diet for rheumatoid arthritis symptoms and inflammation
This study tests whether a very low-carbohydrate, ketogenic diet can improve rheumatoid arthritis (RA). It’s designed for people whose RA treatment is already stable and who are not currently using a keto diet or certain medicines.
Oklahoma City, OklahomaAges 18–65 - NCT05725967Enrolling by invitation
Endoscopic and bariatric procedures for obesity
This study looks at people who are having obesity-related procedures, including options done with a scope (endoscopic) and revision after prior bariatric surgery. It may help doctors understand outcomes and improve care for people undergoing these treatments.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–80 - 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 - NCT05015881Enrolling by invitationPhase 2/Phase 3
Brain and heart scans in alcohol use disorder
This study uses special brain and heart scans to see how sugar (glucose) is used in people with alcohol use disorder compared with people without it. It may help researchers understand the brain–heart connection in alcohol use disorder.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 21–65 - NCT04841057Enrolling by invitation
Study of blood and stool changes after weight-loss surgery
This study looks at how your body’s metabolism changes after a specific weight-loss surgery (gastric bypass). It may help researchers better understand what to expect and how to tailor care, while requiring blood draws and stool samples before and after surgery.
Columbia, MissouriAges 18–80 - NCT04444362Enrolling by invitation
Probacine to protect organs after cardiovascular surgery
This study tests whether a medicine called Probacine can help protect your gut and organs after cardiovascular surgery. If you qualify, you may be asked to take part and follow the study plan to see if complications are reduced.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–90 - NCT03927638Enrolling by invitation
Standing versus sitting study for heart and metabolism measures
This trial compares how different body positions (sitting vs standing) affect blood and heart-related measurements in otherwise healthy adults. It may help researchers understand which position is better for metabolic and cardiovascular health.
Montclair, New JerseyAges 18–50 - NCT03502967Enrolling by invitationEarly Phase 1
Hyperpolarized carbon-13 brain scan for recent traumatic brain injury
This early study tests a special brain imaging scan that looks at brain metabolism after a recent concussion/traumatic brain injury (TBI). It may help researchers understand what’s happening in the brain soon after injury.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–60 - NCT03389100Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Tau PET brain scan study for people without dementia
This trial studies how tau (a protein linked to Alzheimer’s and related conditions) shows up on a special brain scan called tau PET. It also uses MRI and blood work to understand brain changes and who may be at risk, helping researchers improve future diagnosis.
New York, New YorkAges 55–69

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.
