Recruiting studies
- NCT06581120Enrolling by invitation
Stomach ultrasound study for diabetes and obesity
This study uses ultrasound to see how GLP-1 RA medications (like Ozempic) affect the stomach in people with type 2 diabetes and obesity. It may help doctors better understand how these medicines work.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 10–25 - NCT06509776Enrolling by invitation
Bone growth and hormone health in young adults
This study looks at how bones mature and how hormones change as you become a young adult. If you were born in Denmark in 2006 or 2007 and are 18, you may be invited to help researchers understand these changes.
AalborgAges 18–19 - NCT06320782Enrolling by invitation
Diet and belly fat study for overweight adults
This study tests how different diets affect belly fat, thigh muscle, and heart health in people who are overweight. It might help you find a way to eat that improves your health.
Recife, PernambucoAges 20 years+ - NCT06206954Enrolling by invitation
Supporting healthy lifestyle changes for weight loss
This study tests whether a simple lifestyle program helps people lose weight. It involves regular check-ins with your doctor and using a smart scale at home.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06043245Enrolling by invitation
Diabetes remission and weight loss surgery
This trial tests whether a specific type of weight loss surgery can help people with type 2 diabetes stop needing diabetes medication. It is for people with a very high body mass index (BMI over 45) who are currently on diabetes pills or insulin.
L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, BarcelonaAges 18–60 - NCT05799768Enrolling by invitation
Ketogenic diet for rheumatoid arthritis symptoms and inflammation
This study tests whether a very low-carbohydrate, ketogenic diet can improve rheumatoid arthritis (RA). It’s designed for people whose RA treatment is already stable and who are not currently using a keto diet or certain medicines.
Oklahoma City, OklahomaAges 18–65 - NCT05576116Enrolling by invitation
Bariatric surgery plus pancreas transplant after kidney transplant
This trial studies whether adding bariatric (weight-loss) surgery and a pancreas transplant can improve health in people with long-term type 2 diabetes who already received a kidney transplant. It may help with blood sugar control and related metabolic health, while also needing careful safety screening for kidney function and blood vessel health.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18–50 - NCT05408728Enrolling by invitation
Check how sugar absorption predicts weight loss after endoscopy
This study looks at whether a person’s “sugar absorption” pattern can help predict how much weight they will lose. It involves an endoscopy (a look inside the upper digestive tract) as part of routine care, and then matching the results to future weight change.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05207917Enrolling by invitation
Study of how weight-loss surgery changes well-being and social life
This study looks at how bariatric surgery (either sleeve gastrectomy or gastric bypass) affects your mood, daily life, and social experiences. You may be able to join if you’re already scheduled for surgery and can complete questionnaires in Norwegian.
Tønsberg, VestfoldAges 18–80 - NCT05166447Enrolling by invitation
Check-in study for people from the Inter99 health survey
This study is a long-term follow-up of people who took part in the Inter99 baseline exam. It involves a 3-hour check-in, and it can help researchers learn how people’s health changes over time.
Glostrup MunicipalityAges 50–82 - NCT04841057Enrolling by invitation
Study of blood and stool changes after weight-loss surgery
This study looks at how your body’s metabolism changes after a specific weight-loss surgery (gastric bypass). It may help researchers better understand what to expect and how to tailor care, while requiring blood draws and stool samples before and after surgery.
Columbia, MissouriAges 18–80 - NCT04708535Enrolling by invitation
Study how fat changes affect insulin resistance after bariatric surgery
This study looks at how your body’s fat under the skin and inside the abdomen may affect “insulin resistance,” a common problem linked with blood sugar control. It’s for people who are scheduled for bariatric (weight-loss) surgery, to learn more before and after surgery.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 30–65 - 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 - 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.
