A study of epicatechin for muscle health in advanced kidney disease
This trial tests whether a natural supplement called epicatechin can improve muscle health in people with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD). You may be able to join if you have low kidney function and are not planning to start dialysis or have a kidney transplant in the next 4 months.
Huddinge, Stockholm CountyAges 60 years+ - NCT07441447Recruiting
Muscle strength and mass in inflammatory bowel disease
This study looks at muscle strength and muscle mass in people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), such as Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis. It aims to understand how IBD affects muscles, which can help improve patient care.
Sakarya, AdapazarıAges 18 years+ - NCT07104539Recruiting
Strength training for people starting GLP-1 weight loss meds
This study looks at how strength training affects your muscles if you're just starting a GLP-1 medicine for weight loss (like Wegovy or Zepbound). It's designed to help understand if exercise can help preserve muscle while you lose weight.
Blacksburg, VirginiaAges 50 years+ - NCT06007794Recruiting
Muscle health study for post-cancer patients
This study uses ultrasound to measure thigh muscle mass and compares it to a whole-body scan. It aims to understand muscle changes after cancer treatment.

Strength training for muscle and mind on obesity medication
This study tests whether strength training can help adults taking new obesity medications (like Wegovy or Ozempic) maintain muscle and improve mental health. You would start the medication after your first study visit.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07457437Recruiting
Exercise and medication for weight loss in women
This study tests whether adding resistance exercise to a new weight-loss medication helps women preserve muscle while losing weight. It may be an option for women who want to protect their muscle mass during treatment.
Exeter, DevonAges 25–50 - NCT06994689Recruiting
Measuring muscle in COPD patients starting rehab
This trial uses a special device to measure muscle mass and stiffness in the thigh to see if it helps track recovery during pulmonary rehabilitation for COPD.
Le HavreAges 18 years+ - NCT05449119Recruiting
Study links gut health, diet, and thinking and movement in seniors
This study looks at how differences in gut bacteria and nutrition may relate to changes in thinking and movement in people over 75 who have a reduced appetite (“small eaters”). It may help doctors better understand what could be contributing to these problems and how nutrition might play a role.
DijonAges 75 years+ - NCT06666881Recruiting
Exercise training for head and neck cancer patients
This trial studies if exercise training can improve outcomes for people with head and neck squamous cell cancer who need chemotherapy and radiation. It uses body scans to see if muscle changes from exercise are linked to better prognosis.
New Taipei CityAges 20–80 - NCT07649356Recruiting
Estrogen and Muscle Function in Menopausal Women
This study compares how estrogen affects muscle strength and fitness in women before and after menopause. It aims to understand how hormonal changes during menopause impact physical health and may help researchers develop better support for women during this life stage.
AarhusAges 47 years+ - NCT05307367Recruiting
Study exercise and body muscle changes in advanced lung cancer
This study looks at why cancer can cause loss of muscle in people with advanced non–small cell lung cancer, and whether exercise can improve or explain those muscle changes. You may be asked to do physical testing and answer questionnaires while receiving standard palliative cancer treatment.
Copenhagen, DKAges 18–100 - NCT07132788Recruiting
Study of pulmonary arterial hypertension and lean muscle mass
This study looks at how pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) affects lean muscle mass. It aims to understand the relationship between PAH and muscle loss, which could help improve treatments and quality of life.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05716880RecruitingPhase 3
Keto-like diet supplements for muscle loss in nephrotic syndrome
This Phase 3 study tests a keto-like supplement (Ketosteril) to help prevent or slow muscle loss in people with nephrotic syndrome. It may help by improving nutrition when the kidneys are leaking large amounts of protein.
Warsaw, Masovian DistrictAges 18 years+ - NCT04754672Recruiting
Exercise training to improve outcomes in advanced colon cancer
This trial studies whether supervised exercise—either aerobic fitness training or muscle-strength training—can improve outcomes for people with metastatic colorectal cancer. It compares which approach is most helpful and checks whether it’s safe during first-line chemotherapy.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for muscle mass?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 53 recruiting muscle mass 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 muscle mass 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 muscle mass 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.
