Bottarga supplement for metabolic health
This study tests a supplement called bottarga, made from fish eggs, to see if it improves cholesterol, blood sugar, or weight in people with metabolic problems like high cholesterol or prediabetes. It is a small pilot study for Massachusetts residents.
Sommerville, MassachusettsAges 18–60 - NCT05799222Recruiting
Nutrition program for obesity and diabetes risk
This trial tests a medically guided nutrition program to help improve weight and blood sugar in adults with obesity or early diabetes risk. It specifically targets people who meet income guidelines and don’t already use most diabetes or anti-obesity medicines.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–65 - NCT06112418Recruiting
Personalized vs standard care to prevent heart attacks
This trial compares two ways to prevent heart attacks and strokes: one uses a special heart CT scan to guide care, the other uses standard risk factors like blood pressure and cholesterol. You may be eligible if you are older (men over 55, women over 65) and have diabetes, prediabetes, or metabolic syndrome.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 55 years+ - NCT02915198RecruitingPhase 4
Metformin for prediabetes to reduce heart and blood-vessel events
This trial tests whether taking metformin in people with prediabetes can lower the chance of future heart attack, stroke, or other blood-vessel problems. You may be a good fit if you have prediabetes plus existing cardiovascular disease or significant blood-vessel disease.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05704309Enrolling by invitation
Study of diabetes prevention participants using brain scans
This study looks at how people who previously took part in a diabetes prevention program are doing over time, including brain health using MRI scans for some participants. It may help researchers understand who is at higher risk for memory and thinking problems and why.

What taking part in a prediabetes 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.

- Do I have to live in Massachusetts to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Massachusetts, 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.
