Exercise and vitamin D for type 2 diabetes
This study tests whether adding aerobic and resistance exercise to your routine helps manage type 2 diabetes better when you already take metformin, an SGLT2 inhibitor, and possibly vitamin D. You would be assigned either to an exercise program or to continue your usual care.
BarcelonaAges 40 years+ - NCT07191353RecruitingPhase 2
Bone strength study: weight training and a drug for bone health
This trial tests whether combining resistance training with the drug rapamycin can improve bone formation in postmenopausal women who have lower-than-normal bone density but not osteoporosis. It aims to find a new way to strengthen bones and prevent fractures.

Exercise and medication for weight loss while preserving muscle
This study tests whether a type 2 diabetes medication (tirzepatide) combined with a supervised resistance training (weight lifting) program helps prevent muscle loss while losing weight. You will either receive the medication or a placebo, and all participants will follow a diet and exercise plan.
München, BavariaAges 18–60 - NCT07135232Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for resistance training?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 190 recruiting resistance training 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 resistance training 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 resistance training 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.
