- NCT07523672Enrolling by invitation
Care Model for Sarcopenic Obesity in Older Adults
This trial tests a new care approach for older adults who have both excess body fat and muscle loss (sarcopenic obesity). The goal is to help improve muscle strength, physical function, and body composition.
Nakhon Nayok, Changwat Nakhon NayokAges 60 years+ - NCT06320158Recruiting
Understanding muscle loss and obesity in older adults
This study looks at the link between muscle loss (sarcopenia) and obesity in older adults. It aims to understand why some older people who are overweight or obese also lose muscle strength and function, and how this affects recovery after hip surgery.
MilanAges 65–99 - NCT06815978Recruiting
Diagnosing obesity-related muscle loss
This study tests a new tool to diagnose muscle loss in people with obesity. It may help doctors better identify and treat this condition.
Rome, RMAges 18 years+ - NCT06735573Enrolling by invitation
Protein, muscle loss, obesity, and COPD study
This study tests whether a protein intervention can help women over 55 with COPD who also have muscle loss and obesity. It aims to improve their strength and health.
Aberdeen, ScotlandAges 55 years+ - NCT06822504Recruiting
Sarcopenic obesity in COPD: a prevalence study
This study looks at how common it is to have both COPD (a chronic lung disease) and sarcopenic obesity (loss of muscle with excess body fat). By joining, you'll help doctors understand this condition better and may get a full health check-up.
Roma, RomaAges 40–100 - NCT07627919Recruiting
Strength training and high-protein diet for frail older women
This study tests whether combining resistance exercises with a protein-rich diet can improve muscle strength and overall function in older women with weak muscles. You would attend supervised workouts and follow a specific eating plan for several weeks.
El-Sheikh Zayed CityAges 60–70 - NCT05908812Recruiting
Testing how blood sugar control links to a hormone in type 2 diabetes
This study looks at whether better blood sugar control changes levels of a hormone called irisin in people with type 2 diabetes and obesity, including those with or without age-related muscle loss (sarcopenia). Your results may help researchers understand the body’s response to diabetes and could guide future treatment ideas.
BariAges 60 years+ - NCT07614464Recruiting
How obesity affects movement and daily living in older adults
This study compares how obesity impacts physical abilities and everyday activities in people over 65. Researchers will measure strength, movement, and how well people manage daily tasks to better understand obesity's effects on aging.
OggebbioAges 65 years+ - NCT07154719RecruitingPhase 4
Testing a weight loss drug's effect on muscle and bone
This study tests a medication called tirzepatide (a type of GLP-1 drug) to see how it affects muscle and bone health during weight loss. It is for people with obesity who are not menopausal and do not have diabetes or bone disease.
Baton Rouge, LouisianaAges 18–50 - NCT06363253Recruiting
Gut bacteria study in obesity and muscle loss
This study looks at the bacteria in your gut (the microbiome) to understand how they relate to obesity and muscle loss. Researchers will collect stool samples to analyze the gut bacteria, which may help find new ways to treat metabolic diseases.
SingaporeAges 21–99 - NCT07703683Recruiting
Muscle health in metabolic and hormone diseases
This trial looks at how muscle health is affected by metabolic or hormone disorders, aiming to find better markers for muscle loss called sarcopenia.
Woluwe-Saint-Pierre - Sint-Pieters-WoluweAges 18 years+ - NCT06826963Recruiting
Eccentric exercise for older adults with heart failure and muscle loss
This study tests whether a special type of exercise (eccentric, or lengthening, exercises) can help older adults with heart failure who also have muscle loss. It aims to see if the exercise is safe and improves strength and function.
Verona, VeronaAges 65–85 - NCT05477277Recruiting
MRI testing during liver transplant evaluation
This study looks at whether having an MRI scan during liver transplant planning helps predict who may have worse outcomes or higher risk of death. It focuses on adults with severe liver disease who are already being considered for a transplant.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07478861Enrolling by invitation
Vibration training for seniors with knee arthritis and obesity
This study tests whether whole-body vibration training can help older adults who have both severe knee arthritis and obesity. It aims to improve strength, mobility, and quality of life.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for sarcopenic obesity?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 14 recruiting sarcopenic obesity 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 sarcopenic obesity 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 sarcopenic obesity 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.
