Study of insulin resistance using a pancreatic clamp
Treatments studied
Part of Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how the body handles insulin in people who are insulin resistant. You will receive a special procedure called a pancreatic clamp to measure insulin sensitivity, which may help researchers understand and treat insulin resistance better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 65 years old.
- Your body mass index (BMI) must be between 27 and 50.
- You need to have signs of insulin resistance, like prediabetes or high fasting blood sugar.
- You must be able to understand English or Spanish.
- You cannot be pregnant, breastfeeding, or trying to become pregnant.
- You must not have diabetes or serious conditions like heart, kidney, or advanced liver disease.

This study tests if lowering insulin levels can reduce fat buildup in the liver for people with a fatty liver condition called MASLD. It's looking for adults who are overweight and have early signs of insulin resistance but not diabetes.
This study tests how “lipid” (fat) changes in the body affect insulin resistance, which is when the body doesn’t respond to insulin as well as it should. Because it’s done in healthy people, it’s mainly looking at basic biology and may help guide future treatments.
This study tests a single dose of a drug called alpelisib (a PI3K inhibitor) to see how it affects insulin and blood sugar in people who are either insulin sensitive or insulin resistant. The goal is to understand why some people become resistant to insulin, which may help find new treatments for diabetes and related conditions.
This study looks at how differences in insulin resistance may change how the liver makes triglycerides (a type of blood fat). It may help researchers understand why some people have higher triglycerides and how to target them better.
This research study examines how muscle cells handle blood sugar differently depending on whether someone is lean or has obesity, and whether their body resists insulin. Researchers will take small muscle samples to understand the genetic differences, which may help develop better treatments for insulin resistance and metabolic health.
This study looks at how sending certain fats through the intestine affects “insulin resistance,” a condition where the body doesn’t use insulin as well. If you qualify, you may receive a controlled lipid (fat) delivery as part of measuring body fat handling and related body chemistry.
