Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 30–60 - NCT05432856Recruiting
Track metabolic health habits during breast cancer treatment
This study follows how “metabolic health” patterns (like eating timing and daily activity) change over time during breast cancer care. It may help researchers learn which habit patterns are linked to better outcomes and comfort during chemotherapy.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT06626295Recruiting
Exercise snacks for teens with obesity
This study tests whether short, frequent 'exercise snacks' can help break up long periods of sitting and improve the physical fitness of teens with obesity. It's a simple, at-home approach that may fit into daily life.

Breaking up sitting time to improve blood sugar
This study tests whether changing how often you sit (adding movement breaks) can improve blood sugar control in people at risk for type 2 diabetes. It compares two activity patterns and uses monitoring and brief hospital-style visits with controlled food.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18–64 - NCT05641662Recruiting
Video games that get you moving for heart failure inactivity
This study tests whether playing “exergames” (motion-based video games) can help people with heart failure who are mostly inactive spend less time sitting. It checks whether the games are safe and practical and whether they can improve activity over time.
PortoAges 18 years+ - NCT05935241Recruiting
Program mPATH for sleep and activity in older adults
This trial tests a program (mPATH) to help older adults with sleep trouble by improving activity and exercise habits. It may be helpful if you have low income and want support building moderate exercise safely.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for sedentary time?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 13 recruiting sedentary time 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 sedentary time 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 sedentary time 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.
