Tracing sugar use in immune cells
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study uses a special sugar (glucose) to see how your immune cells use energy. You drink a labeled sugar, then give blood samples so researchers can track it.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You cannot be pregnant.
- You cannot be a prisoner or in police custody.
- You cannot have uncontrolled high blood sugar or diabetes.
- You cannot be in another study where blood draws total more than 500cc (about 2 cups) in 8 weeks.
- You must not have any medical condition or medication that the study doctor thinks could interfere.

This study is testing how immune cells use sugar (glucose) in people who are in the intensive care unit (ICU). By doing this test, researchers hope to learn more about how the body fights illness during critical care, which could lead to better treatments.
This study looks at how melanoma cells and the body use sugar by collecting tissue samples and, for some people, giving a labeled glucose infusion. It may help researchers understand melanoma “metabolic” patterns and how they relate to cancer behavior.
This Phase 1 study tests whether “biomarkers” in your blood and hair can accurately measure how much sugar you consume. It may help researchers find better ways to track dietary sugar intake in future nutrition and health studies.
This study tests a new way to measure how the brain uses sugar (glucose) to see if the hormone glucagon affects it. It may help researchers understand how certain hormones work in the body.
This study uses MRI brain scans at different strengths to measure how the brain uses energy (metabolism) in health and in people with genetically confirmed G1D. It may help researchers understand brain energy changes related to metabolic disease and diabetes.
This study looks at how your gut bacteria and the foods you eat affect your blood sugar after meals. You'll wear a small sensor to track your blood sugar for 10 days and provide stool samples.
