Recruiting studies
- NCT07367854Recruiting
Diet and muscle building in active women
This trial tests how different foods or diet patterns work together to help your body build more muscle protein. It’s designed for active, pre-menopausal women who are not pregnant and have regular cycles.
Urbana, IllinoisAges 19–40 - NCT06714240Recruiting
Extra protein to support muscle strength in ICU
This study tests whether giving extra protein through a feeding tube can help ICU patients maintain muscle strength. It may be an option for people who are expected to stay in the ICU for at least a week and need a breathing machine.
Hasselt, LimburgAges 18 years+ - NCT06852547Recruiting
Algae protein for muscle health in older adults
This study tests if a new algae-based protein drink can help older adults build muscle, both at rest and after exercise. It aims to find a plant-based way to support muscle strength as we age.
ExeterAges 65–80 - NCT07049224Recruiting
Beef vs. plant-based diet for muscle health in older adults
This study compares the effects of a diet containing beef versus a plant-based diet on how well your body builds muscle protein. It aims to find which diet better supports muscle strength and function in healthy older individuals.
Maastricht, LimburgAges 65–85 - NCT07062562Recruiting
Can muscle stimulation prevent bed rest muscle loss?
This study tests if electrical muscle stimulation, with or without extra protein, can help prevent muscle loss during three days of bed rest. It's for healthy young adults who are active but not competitive athletes.
Wageningen, GelderlandAges 18–35 - NCT07082309Recruiting
How ketone drinks affect muscle protein in healthy adults
This trial tests whether a ketone monoester drink can change how your body builds muscle protein. It may help researchers understand if these supplements could benefit muscle health.
Exeter, DevonAges 18–40 - NCT06567665Recruiting
Leucine supplement for muscle building in older men
This study tests if taking a leucine supplement (an amino acid found in protein) can help older men build muscle more effectively. You may be eligible if you are a healthy, non-smoking man between 65 and 75 who does not currently do weight training.
Nottingham, NottinghamshireAges 65–75 - NCT05700058Recruiting
Testing how different Super-whey doses affect muscle growth
This study checks how different doses of “Super-whey” influence muscle protein building in adults. It may help figure out the best whey dose for building muscle, especially in older adults.
DerbyAges 65–85 - NCT07178353Recruiting
How bedrest affects leg muscles in young adults
This study looks at how 5 days of complete bedrest changes the leg muscles of healthy young adults. It may help researchers understand muscle loss and how to prevent it.
Kingston, OntarioAges 18–30 - NCT06152497Recruiting
Histamine and muscle growth after strength training
This study looks at how histamine affects muscle building after resistance exercise. It may help us understand why some people build muscle better than others after strength training.
Ghent, Oost-VlaanderenAges 18–45 - NCT06406803Recruiting
Exercise vs. diet for prostate cancer patients before surgery
This study compares the effects of exercise and a low-calorie diet on how your body builds proteins in your tumor and muscles. It may help men with prostate cancer who are about to have surgery.
HasseltAges 18 years+ - NCT06687343Recruiting
Do amino acids help maintain muscle in young men?
This study looks at how certain amino acids (building blocks of protein) help maintain muscle mass. Healthy young men eat a special diet and have their muscle protein production measured to see if non-essential amino acids matter for keeping muscles strong.
MaastrichtAges 18–35 - NCT07258576Recruiting
Birth control vs. natural cycle: muscle response to exercise
This study compares how muscle protein responds to resistance exercise in women who use birth control pills versus those with natural menstrual cycles. Participants will do exercise sessions and have muscle samples taken to see how their bodies build protein.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18–40

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for muscle protein synthesis?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 13 recruiting muscle protein synthesis 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 protein synthesis 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 protein synthesis 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.
