The metabolic center is conducting Clinical trials as part of its goal to improve patients' health care. The majority of the studies are in endocrine and metabolism, focusing on Diabetes, hypertension, Cholesterol, Lipids and Obesity.

The studies typically involve new and innovative treatments for metabolic related medical conditions. At times the medications may have already been approved for use by the FDA and are being evaluated for new indications. Participating in a study will make you part of a select group which defines the future of science and medicine. When in a study you will receive a comprehensive medical care, be closely supervised and adequately educated to help you achieve a good control your medical condition.
In most trials, you will receive medical evaluations; diagnostic studies, and treatment medications all at no cost to you. Various studies, based on their complexities, will provide a modest stipend to cover expense and effort. A study can be as short as four weeks or may last up to 5 years. The majority of studies however range between 3 to 12 months

At this time we do not have any Obesity studies open for enrollment, but please check back often as we add new studies quite often.

The Following Study is Now Open for Recruitment:

When your TYPE 2 DIABETES is out of control,
finding HARMONY is essential.

If you're having trouble controlling your diabetes, consider participating in HARMONY, a research study evaluating an investigational diabetes medication that's taken only once a week!

Controlling your blood sugar levels can often become a challenge, even with medication, diet, and exercise. Additionally, the inconvienience of multiple daily doses required by other medications can disrupt  your daily routine. Now, the HARMONY program is evaluating the effectiveness of an investigational type 2 diabetes medication, which could require less frequent dosings than currently available treatments.

To be eligible for this study, you must be:

- 18 years of age or older,

- diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, AND

- having trouble controlling your blood sugar levels.

Qualified participants will receive study treatment as well as study-related
medical evaluations, tests, and a modest stipend.
