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 comprehensive medical care, you will be closely supervised and adequately educated to help you achieve a good control of your medical condition.
In most trials, you will receive medical evaluations, diagnostic studies and treatment medications all free of charge. 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.

Currently, the following studies are open to enrollment:

A New Innovative Multi-Study for Type 2 Diabetes 
If you have type 2 diabetes which is not well controlled by your current medication regimen, you may qualify to participate in one of these studies. If qualified you may receive a new injectable medication which is approved just for the study and not for general use; alternatively you may get an existing diabetes medication or placebo. 

You will be educated in diabetes care and lifestyle modifications.
Beyond the free evaluation and medication, this study involves a modest stipend.
