Recruiting studies
- NCT04949451Recruiting
Testing time-restricted eating for muscle and metabolism
This study looks at whether eating only during certain hours can improve muscle and metabolism in adults with higher body weight. You may be asked to follow a specific eating schedule and avoid things that could affect the results.
Fayetteville, ArkansasAges 25–50 - NCT05236374Recruiting
Daily beef in a heart-healthy diet to study zinc cells
This study tests whether eating daily beef as part of a heart-healthy diet changes how your body’s cells handle zinc, a mineral important for many functions. It’s designed for older adults and includes strict diet and medication rules to keep results accurate.
Davis, CaliforniaAges 55–70 - NCT03201094Recruiting
NMES and whey protein for recovery after aneurysmal brain bleed
This pilot study tests whether a therapy that gently stimulates nerves (NMES) and a whey-protein supplement (HPRO) can improve recovery after an aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), a type of bleeding around the brain. Participants are usually treated soon after the bleed and stay in the ICU long enough for the study measures.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06269653Recruiting
Protein turnover study across the lifespan
This study measures how the body makes and breaks down proteins throughout life. You drink a small amount of special water (deuterium oxide) and give a few blood, urine, and muscle samples to track protein changes.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 20–120 - NCT07156552Recruiting
Protein and exercise to prevent muscle loss after weight loss surgery
This trial tests whether taking extra protein and doing resistance training helps people keep their muscle mass after bariatric surgery (stomach reduction or gastric bypass). If you're scheduled for this surgery and can follow the program, you may be able to join.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT06767722Recruiting
Lifestyle program for high blood sugar in early pregnancy
This trial tests if a lifestyle program (diet and activity changes) can help pregnant women who have slightly high blood sugar in early pregnancy. It aims to improve glucose levels and reduce complications for both mother and baby.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–55 - NCT06754696Recruiting
Testing a blood protein in children with and without infection
This study looks at a specific blood protein level in children from birth to age 17. It compares healthy children and those with sepsis to see if the protein changes during infection.
NantesAges Up to 17 years - NCT06682221Enrolling by invitationPhase 3
Resistance training and supplement study for older adults
This study tests whether a resistance training program (like lifting weights) combined with a supplement can improve heart, lung, and metabolic health in older adults. The goal is to find ways to help seniors stay healthier and more active.
Anápolis, GoiásAges 60–85 - NCT06754709Recruiting
Protein Changes in Children Having Heart Surgery
This study looks at a specific protein change in blood and heart tissue of children having heart surgery with a heart-lung machine. The goal is to understand how this protein might affect recovery.
NantesAges Up to 17 years - NCT05085704Recruiting
Brain scans to study metabolism in healthy and diabetic people
This study uses MRI brain scans at different strengths to measure how the brain uses energy (metabolism) in health and in people with genetically confirmed G1D. It may help researchers understand brain energy changes related to metabolic disease and diabetes.
New York, New YorkAges 16–80 - NCT05974904Recruiting
Study links a liver-related cell marker to fatty liver damage
This study looks at existing health survey data to see whether a specific immune-cell marker (called HsCAR) is related to fatty liver disease and liver scarring. It may help researchers better understand which people are at higher risk for worsening liver damage.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–90 - NCT07392905Recruiting
How the brain and body respond to food in obesity
This study looks at how your brain and body respond to food based on your weight. You'll eat a standard meal and have brain scans (MRI) to see how your brain reacts.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–40 - NCT07526909Recruiting
Meal Types and Exercise Effects in Phenylketonuria
This study looks at how different meals eaten before exercise affect amino acid levels and metabolic health in adults with classic phenylketonuria (PKU)—a genetic condition affecting how your body processes protein. The research involves eating test meals, exercising, and providing blood samples to help understand the best nutritional approach for PKU patients.
Ankara, AnkaraAges 18 years+ - NCT07578103Recruiting
Dairy vs Plant-based Yogurt for Weight and Bone Health
This study compares how dairy yogurt and plant-based yogurt affect weight, body composition, bone strength, and gut bacteria in postmenopausal women. It may help identify which type of yogurt is better for overall health during this life stage.
Québec, QuebecAges 40 years+ - NCT06431334Recruiting
Protein needs for older male cyclists after exercise
This study looks at how much protein male cyclists over 65 need after a cycling workout to stay healthy and perform well. You will complete about 7 lab visits and do exercise and diet tasks to help researchers find the right protein amount.
Montreal, QuebecAges 65 years+ - NCT06907862Recruiting
SWITCH trial: swapping processed soy foods in a heart-healthy diet
This study tests whether swapping highly processed soy foods for less processed soy foods, as part of a heart-healthy diet, can improve blood pressure, blood sugar, and weight in adults with obesity and high blood pressure. It may be a good option if you have type 2 diabetes and are already on stable medications.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for protein metabolism?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 40 recruiting protein metabolism 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 protein metabolism 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 protein metabolism 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.
