Recruiting studies
- NCT01224886Recruiting
Study of age-related insulin resistance and exercise
This study looks at how age affects the way your body uses insulin (a hormone that helps move sugar into cells), and how lifestyle or exercise may change that. It may help you understand insulin resistance and whether changes in activity could improve blood sugar control.
BernAges 60–80 - NCT01793168Recruiting
Rare disease registry and history study
This study keeps a registry (a structured list) of people with rare diseases and may also track how the condition changes over time. It can help researchers better understand rare illnesses and find gaps in care, which may improve future treatments.
Sioux Falls, South DakotaAges Any age - NCT01945840Recruiting
Study how gut hormones change after weight-loss surgery
This study looks at how gut hormones and blood sugar control change after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. It may help researchers understand what supports healthier glucose levels after bariatric surgery.
London, Greater LondonAges 18–70 - NCT01477957Recruiting
Bariatric surgery and changes in insulin and body energy use
This study tests whether weight-loss surgery improves how your body uses insulin and energy. It compares insulin sensitivity and related measurements before and after surgery to understand who benefits.
Düsseldorf, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 20–70 - NCT01869530Recruiting
Nutrition check for preschool kids at participating clinics
This study measures nutrition (what and how much children eat) in young kids during regular primary care visits. It may help improve how doctors check and support children’s nutrition in early childhood.
Toronto, OntarioAges Up to 5 years - NCT01984762Recruiting
Weight-loss surgery for type 2 diabetes
This study tests whether two weight-loss operations (sleeve gastrectomy or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass) can improve type 2 diabetes. It may help people with higher body weight and diabetes control, but it also requires meeting safety and health criteria.
GothenburgAges 18–60 - NCT02166372Recruiting
Testing weight-loss surgery vs standard care for type 2 diabetes
This study compares people with type 2 diabetes and higher body weight who meet criteria for metabolic (weight-loss) surgery versus people with mild obesity who do not. It aims to see whether surgery improves diabetes-related outcomes more than usual medical care.
Taoyuan CityAges 20–67 - NCT02208141Recruiting
Child body growth study with planned surgery
This study follows children’s body growth and fat (adipose) tissue as part of a planned surgical procedure. It aims to improve understanding of how fat tissue develops in childhood and what factors may affect health later.
Leipzig, SaxonyAges Any age - NCT02664831Recruiting
Study of inflammation after cardiac arrest in ICU patients
This trial looks at how the body’s inflammation response behaves after someone has a cardiac arrest and was treated in the ICU. It may help doctors understand which patients could benefit from treatments that target harmful inflammation after resuscitation.
Portland, MaineAges 18 years+ - NCT02904291Recruiting
Blood-pressure medicine study around weight-loss surgery
This study checks how amlodipine (a blood-pressure medicine) gets absorbed in your body before and after gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy. It may help doctors better manage blood pressure medicines after weight-loss surgery.
TrondheimAges 18–70 - NCT02811900Recruiting
Study of outcomes after weight-loss (bariatric) surgery
This study follows adults who have bariatric (weight-loss) surgery to see what outcomes they experience afterward. It may help doctors better understand how well the surgery works in real life.
StrasbourgAges 18 years+ - NCT02861781Recruiting
Collecting body tissue samples during bariatric surgery
This study collects small tissue samples during planned weight-loss surgery to better understand metabolism and how insulin works in people with and without type 2 diabetes. You may help researchers by allowing their team to take these samples while you are already having surgery.
MontpellierAges 18–65 - NCT02646475RecruitingPhase 1
Study angiotensin medicine to improve metabolism in obesity
This Phase 1 study tests how a medication that affects the body’s angiotensin system (angiotensin-(1-7)) changes metabolism in adults with obesity, insulin resistance, and high blood pressure. It may help researchers understand whether this approach can improve blood sugar/insulin function and related body changes.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18–60 - NCT02273297Recruiting
Healthy Start study for pregnant people and newborns in Colorado
This study looks at how early-life “fuel” (nutrition) affects how babies grow in the womb and after birth. You may be able to join if you’re pregnant with a single baby and plan to deliver in Colorado, and if you and your pregnancy meet the health and timing requirements.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 16 years+ - NCT02390765Recruiting
Study of growth, weight, and behavior in children
This study looks at how children’s growth and weight relate to thinking, mood, and behavior. It may help researchers understand what patterns affect health and development so they can guide better support for families.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 8–100 - NCT02526901Recruiting
Pregnancy cohort study for women in Guangzhou
This study follows pregnant women from early pregnancy to learn about pregnancy and child health. You may be asked to share health information so researchers can better understand outcomes for babies born in Guangzhou.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges Any age - NCT02829619Recruiting
Eating at Set Times to Help with Weight Loss
This study looks at whether changing when you eat, along with looking at your genes, can help people lose weight. It’s mainly for adults who are above a healthy weight range and don’t have certain health conditions or medicines.
Murcia, MurciaAges 18 years+ - NCT02937649Recruiting
Testing a bougie tool during sleeve stomach surgery
This trial checks a specific surgical measuring tool (“bougie”) used during sleeve gastrectomy (weight-loss stomach surgery). It may help the surgical team improve how the sleeve is formed while keeping safety in mind.
Boulogne-BillancourtAges 18–70 - NCT07675590RecruitingPhase 1
Safety study of TIX100 in healthy volunteers
This study tests a new oral medication called TIX100 in healthy people to see if it is safe and how the body handles it. It is the first step in human testing, so it focuses on safety and side effects.
Chula Vista, CaliforniaAges 18–70 - NCT07675148Recruiting
Cooking classes for weight loss in Abu Dhabi families
This study tests if family-based cooking classes can help Emirati adults in Abu Dhabi lose weight and eat better. You and your home cook will take cooking lessons together.
Abu DhabiAges 18–60 - NCT06118931Recruiting
Time-Restricted Eating for Blood Sugar Control
This study tests whether eating only during a specific daily window helps control blood sugar in people with or at risk for type 2 diabetes. You'll follow a set eating schedule and use a phone app to track your meals.
Toronto, OntarioAges 40 years+ - NCT06115265Recruiting
Ketogenic diet study for prediabetes and weight loss
This trial tests whether a ketogenic diet can help people with prediabetes or high blood sugar improve their health and lose weight. You eat very low-carb, high-fat foods to see if it lowers your blood sugar and reduces your risk of developing diabetes.
Albuquerque, New MexicoAges 18 years+ - NCT07599072Recruiting
Blood Sugar Monitoring Study for Prediabetes
This study tracks how blood sugar levels change in people with prediabetes (higher-than-normal blood sugar but not yet diabetes). Researchers will use a small sensor to monitor your blood sugar and help understand what affects it, which could help prevent or delay type 2 diabetes.
