Finding Diabetes Clinical Trials: Search by Type, Phase, and Eligibility

Diabetes Research · 2 · February 17, 2026

There are over 3,000 active diabetes clinical trials registered worldwide. Finding one you're eligible for — in your area, for your diabetes type, at the right phase — is nearly impossible without a specialized search tool. Our Clinical Trials database makes it simple.

4 Trial Categories

Stem Cell Trials: Islet transplantation, MSC infusions, iPSC-derived beta cells. Primarily for Type 1, increasingly for Type 2.

Medication Trials: New drugs (GLP-1/GIP dual agonists, glucokinase activators, SGLT2 next-generation), combination therapies, and repurposed medications.

Device Trials: Closed-loop insulin delivery systems, next-gen CGMs, non-invasive glucose monitors, smart insulin pens.

Gene Therapy Trials: CRISPR-based approaches, gene silencing for autoimmune Type 1, gene editing for insulin production.

Search and Filter

Search by keyword, filter by category, phase (I-IV), location (country/state), diabetes type (T1D/T2D/LADA/gestational), and enrollment status (recruiting, not yet recruiting, active). Results show eligibility criteria so you can self-screen before contacting the trial site.

Bookmark and Track

Save interesting trials to your bookmarks. The platform notifies you when a bookmarked trial changes status — from "not yet recruiting" to "recruiting," or when enrollment is about to close. This feature ensures you don't miss your window for promising trials.
