Cincinnati, OhioAges Up to 18 years - NCT07077538Recruiting
Amino acid dialysis fluid for diabetic patients on PD
This study tests a special dialysis fluid made with amino acids (protein building blocks) instead of the usual sugar-based fluid. It may help control blood sugar and improve nutrition in people with diabetes on peritoneal dialysis.
Gaozhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - 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+ - NCT06835816Recruiting
Amino acid supplements during dialysis
This trial tests whether adding amino acid supplements during dialysis helps people with kidney failure. It may be an option if your doctor decides you need these supplements.
StockholmAges 18 years+ - NCT06216496Recruiting
Amino acid changes in advanced ovarian cancer
This study looks at how ovarian cancer changes the body's use of amino acids, which are building blocks of proteins. It may help find new ways to monitor or treat the disease.
La TroncheAges 40–70 - NCT07379463Recruiting
PET/CT imaging study for people with cancer
This study uses a special PET/CT scan to look at amino acid transporters in tumors. It may help doctors better understand and diagnose certain cancers.

Amino Acids and Exercise for FSHD Muscle Weakness
This study tests whether amino acid supplements combined with exercise can help people with FSHD (a genetic muscle disease) build strength and reduce fatigue. Researchers will compare participants who receive amino acids plus exercise training to a control group.
Voghera, PaviaAges 18–50 - NCT07115563Recruiting
Amino acid supplement test for Parkinson's disease

Amino acid levels in long ICU stays after surgery or trauma
This study measures amino acids (building blocks from food) in people who are critically ill after surgery or trauma while they stay in the ICU for more than a week. It also compares results with healthy adults to better understand how critical illness affects nutrition needs.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials studying Amino Acid?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 74 recruiting studies that include Amino Acid, drawn from the U.S. registry and rewritten for real people so you can see what each is testing and who it's for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a Amino Acid trial?
- Each study lists its own eligibility criteria — rules about condition, age, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Is Amino Acid an approved treatment?
- A drug being studied in a trial may be investigational (still being tested) or already approved and being studied for a new use. Each study page explains what phase it's in. Clin2 does not provide medical advice — talk with your doctor about whether Amino Acid or a specific trial is right for you.
