It is a pre-screening program to see if you might qualify for future clinical trials on metabolic conditions (like diabetes or weight issues) or psychiatric health (like depression or anxiety). You will be asked some questions and may do some basic health checks to see which future trials could be a good fit for you.

Metabolically armed BCMA CAR-T for relapsed plasma cell cancer
This trial tests a new type of CAR-T cell therapy (Meta10-BCMA) that is "metabolically armed" to better fight cancer cells. It's for people with plasma cell cancers that have come back or not responded to multiple prior treatments, and whose cancer cells carry the BCMA protein.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 19–75 - NCT04008147Recruiting
Testing iron-related hormones and sugar levels in mid-pregnancy
This study looks at how the hormone hepcidin and blood sugar/metabolism change during pregnancy, and how they respond to either stopping iron supplements briefly or taking a specific prenatal iron-containing multivitamin. It may help doctors better understand iron balance in pregnancy and how it could affect metabolism.
ZurichAges 18–45 - NCT07070362Recruiting
Digital early warning system for lung injury after liver surgery
This trial tests a digital early warning system to detect acute lung injury after liver surgery. It may help doctors catch breathing problems early so they can treat them faster.

A study on a diabetes drug for metabolic syndrome
This trial tests if empagliflozin, a medication typically used for diabetes, can help people with metabolic syndrome (a cluster of conditions like large waist size, high blood sugar, and high blood pressure). It may improve health and reduce the risk of heart disease.
Hong KongAges 18–85 - NCT07062198RecruitingPhase 3
Metabolic supplement for Alzheimer's disease

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.
