Recruiting studies
- NCT04678752Enrolling by invitation
Weight management program through primary care visits
This study tests a practical weight-management approach delivered in regular primary care clinics. You may be offered support to help with weight if you’re an adult with a higher-than-normal BMI.
Arvada, ColoradoAges 18–89 - NCT04643262Enrolling by invitation
Looking back at bariatric surgery outcomes in obesity
This study looks back at people who had sleeve gastrectomy (a weight-loss operation) and compares results and complications. It may be a fit if you match the study’s age, weight, and health history, though it’s a “retrospective” review, so it mainly uses past records.
Ages 18–68 - NCT04190758Enrolling by invitation
Early arthritis study for RA, psoriatic arthritis, and psoriasis
This study looks at people with early arthritis related to rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, or psoriasis. Researchers want to understand how these early conditions behave and may help guide better treatment decisions.
GothenburgAges 18–80 - NCT03927638Enrolling by invitation
Standing versus sitting study for heart and metabolism measures
This trial compares how different body positions (sitting vs standing) affect blood and heart-related measurements in otherwise healthy adults. It may help researchers understand which position is better for metabolic and cardiovascular health.
Montclair, New JerseyAges 18–50 - NCT03851458Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Spanish coaching for healthier food choices for weight
This Phase 2 study tests a program (with food guidance, text messages, and check-ins) to help people eat more healthfully. It is designed for adults who are overweight or obese and can speak Spanish (with some separate tracks for different groups).
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT03840733Enrolling by invitation
Study linking meal timing and habits to weight loss
This study looks at how timing of daily behaviors (like eating) relates to how much weight people lose during a behavioral weight loss program. You may be asked to track your activity with wearable devices and to do body-metabolism testing using urine samples and special water.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18–60 - NCT03692455Enrolling by invitation
Compare two weight-loss surgeries for reflux over 8 years
This study follows people for up to 8 years to see how two different weight-loss surgeries affect ongoing heartburn and acid reflux. You would join only if you were already enrolled in an earlier related study and can complete required follow-up visits and tests.
Passo Fundo, Rio Grande do SulAges 18–78 - NCT03407833Enrolling by invitation
Study changes in the body after weight, gut, or liver treatment
This study looks at how the body’s insulin-sensitivity (how well your body uses sugar/insulin) and organ function change after certain medical procedures. It may help researchers understand why some people improve after surgery or liver transplant and guide future care.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for obese?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,496 recruiting obese 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 obese 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 obese 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.
