NCT ID NCT06286761
First seen Aug 04, 2026 · Last updated Aug 05, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study aims to validate the accuracy and reproducibility of laboratory assays and research techniques used in metabolism research. It will involve up to 100 adults aged 18-75 with a BMI between 18.5 and 45. Participants may undergo various tests, including blood sampling, oral glucose tolerance tests, mixed meal consumption, and imaging like MRI or DEXA, to ensure these methods produce consistent and reliable results.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Various laboratory assays and research techniques, including blood tests, endothelial cell collection, oral glucose tolerance test, mixed meal, and imaging (MRI, DEXA, MRS)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could improve the accuracy and reliability of research methods, leading to better understanding and potential treatments for metabolic diseases like obesity and diabetes.
- What could go wrong
- This is a validation study, not a treatment trial, so it won't directly benefit participants. The results may not apply to all populations or settings.
