Study of puberty, diabetes, and kidney stress in teens
This trial studies how puberty and blood sugar changes affect the kidneys in people with type 1 diabetes. It may help researchers understand early kidney risk and identify who needs closer monitoring.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 8–14 - NCT05051436RecruitingPhase 4
Testing mirabegron and tadalafil to improve sugar control
This study looks at whether mirabegron and tadalafil can improve blood sugar control in people with prediabetes. It may help determine if these medicines can slow the move from prediabetes toward diabetes.
Lexington, KentuckyAges 35–65 - NCT05067231Recruiting
UAB heart research biobank for adults 18 and older
This study builds a heart-focused research database by enrolling adults who are willing to provide information and/or samples for future cardiovascular research. It may help researchers study heart disease and develop better treatments over time.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05073185Recruiting
Studying how ads affect kids’ eating and behavior
This study looks at how children respond to advertising and whether it changes their eating, taste preferences, and behavior. Your child may be asked to complete study tasks at visits, including possibly MRI scans, and you’ll help by attending sessions about their media habits and routines.

DublinAges 18 years+ - NCT05082519RecruitingPhase 2
Calorie reduction and activity to help chemo work in B-ALL
This Phase 2 study tests whether eating fewer calories and doing activity safely can make chemotherapy work better for children and young adults with newly diagnosed B-ALL. It aims to reduce chemo resistance, meaning help leukemia respond more strongly to treatment.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 10–25 - NCT05117424Recruiting
Study of metabolism and plaque changes in heart disease
This trial looks at how treating or managing conditions like diabetes, prediabetes, obesity, kidney disease, or high cholesterol affects artery plaque over time. It may help researchers find ways to slow plaque buildup and related heart risks.
ShanghaiAges 18–80 - NCT05119868Recruiting
Mediterranean diet in pregnancy to prevent baby allergies
This trial studies whether following a Mediterranean-style eating pattern during pregnancy can lower the chance that a child develops allergies. It may help families who already have a higher allergy risk, by changing diet during early pregnancy.
NaplesAges 20–35 - NCT05143931Recruiting
Avoid and resist habits to manage weight
This study looks at strategies to help people manage their weight by changing how they respond to food-related cues and habits. It tests whether these approaches can be used over time with regular, brief check-ins.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 14 years+ - NCT05147909Recruiting
Testing too much phosphate on exercise and belly fat
This trial studies whether eating extra phosphate changes how well you can exercise and how much visceral (deep belly) fat you have. Because it is a crossover study, you would likely try different phosphate amounts on separate occasions.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–80 - NCT05173714RecruitingPhase 2
Sit Less and Move More program for people with CKD
This Phase 2 study tests a program to help people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) sit less and move more, plus a medication (semaglutide) for those who qualify. It may help improve health and day-to-day activity while monitoring safety closely.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 20 years+ - NCT05197738Recruiting
Study using a sleep health app to improve sleep
This study tests a “sleep health” app (REFRESH) to see how it may help people track and improve sleep. You may be eligible if you’re an adult in the U.S. who can use the app on your own phone.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05199454Recruiting
Study how “fat-like” particles affect blood vessel function
This study looks at whether tiny fat-based particles (“adiposomes”) can affect how well your blood vessels work, especially in people with diabetes and higher body weight. You may be asked to do moderate exercise and other study procedures after passing safety checks.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–50 - NCT05216042Recruiting
Study of genetics and heart/metabolic health in adults
This study looks at how genetic markers (DNA) relate to heart health and “metabolic” health (how your body manages sugar and fat). You may be asked to provide genetic samples and follow study health checks and protocols to help researchers understand who is at higher risk.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT05228860Recruiting

Low-carb diet effects in people with metabolic syndrome
This trial studies whether a very low-calorie, low-carb diet (VLCKD) can improve metabolic health in adults with metabolic syndrome, fatty liver, and type 2 diabetes. It may help lower blood sugar and improve related health markers if you fit their specific diabetes and liver/kidney criteria.
Novara, ItalyAges 25–65 - NCT05279729Recruiting
