- NCT06286761Recruiting
Validation of lab tests for metabolism research

Columbia, MissouriAges 18–75 - NCT06571487Recruiting
Growth hormone resistance in beta cells after pregnancy
This study looks at how the body's insulin-making cells (beta cells) might become resistant to growth hormone after a full-term pregnancy. It compares women who had gestational diabetes to those who didn't, to learn more about diabetes risk. You may join if you had a healthy single-baby pregnancy in the last 5 years and never had type 1 or type 2 diabetes.
Columbia, MissouriAges 18–45 - NCT06571500Recruiting
Growth hormone and insulin cells in type 2 diabetes risk
This study looks at how growth hormone affects insulin-making cells in people at risk for type 2 diabetes. It may help explain why some people with a family history of diabetes develop the condition.
Columbia, MissouriAges 18–59 - NCT07339423RecruitingPhase 3
A study of a new medicine for weight loss

Study of a new medicine for weight loss and knee pain in osteoarthritis
This trial tests if a new medicine, NNC0487-0111, can help people with excess weight and knee osteoarthritis lose weight and reduce knee pain. It is for people who have had knee pain for at least three months and who can stop taking pain relievers for short periods before study visits.
Springfield, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT04841057Enrolling by invitation
Study of blood and stool changes after weight-loss surgery

What taking part in a obesity study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.

Common questions
- Are there obesity clinical trials in Missouri?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 54 recruiting obesity studies with a site in Missouri, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a obesity study in Missouri?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in Missouri to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Missouri, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a obesity trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
