Pea Protein trials recruiting now

3 registrations that name pea Protein as a study arm and are recruiting or about to, as ClinicalTrials.gov listed them on Oct 20, 2026. Read each listing for its full criteria and current status.

Kymata never assesses eligibility. Each listing names its own criteria; only its study team can say whether someone can join. Trial doses are given under the trial's monitoring and are not a schedule for anyone outside it.

Prandial Metabolic Phenotyping in Sarcopenic Older Adults Comparing Plant Based and Whey Based Protein

  • No phase
  • Texas A&M University
  • About 100 people
  • Started Feb 1, 2024

In plain words A study of pea Protein in people 50 to 95, run by Texas A&M University. It plans to enroll about 100 people at 1 US site.

Who it lists and where

Who the trial lists, as registered

Lists people 50 to 95; healthy volunteers accepted. Conditions: Protein Metabolism.

  • Age 50-95 years old
  • Diagnosis of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD); COPD group only
  • Stable body-weight (±5%) for the past 3 months
  • Ability to walk, sit down, and stand up (independently or with walking assistance device)

2 more inclusion criteria and the exclusion criteria are on the listing.

What it tests, as registered

Whey Protein Isolate 90%; Soy Protein Isolate (90% Protein); Organic Pea Protein Isolate; Placebo (Water)

Registered summary

The researchers overall objective is to determine whether plant and animal protein based proteins affect the anabolic responses across aging populations differently due to specific changes in the essential amino acids (EAA) and non-essential amino acids (NEAA) kinetic responses. The researchers central hypothesis is that a high EAA to NEAA ratio in a protein meal is related to higher anabolic response to the meal. The researchers also hypothesize that the type of NEAA in a protein meal also affects the anabolic capacity of the meal. The full summary is on the listing.

Digestibility of Different Plant-based Proteins in Humans With Ileostomy

  • No phase
  • Örebro University, Sweden
  • About 11 people
  • Starts Sep 2026 (estimated)

In plain words A study of pea Protein in people 18 to 75, run by Örebro University, Sweden. It plans to enroll about 11 people at 1 site, none in the US.

Who it lists and where

Who the trial lists, as registered

Lists people 18 to 75. Conditions: Ileostomy - Stoma.

  • Age: 18 - 75 years
  • Body mass index: 18.5 - 30 kg/m2
  • (double-loop) Ileostomy with an intact small bowel
  • Signed informed consent

The exclusion criteria are on the listing.

What it tests, as registered

Oat Protein, low bioavailability; Oat Protein, high bioavailability; Pea Protein, low bioavailability; Pea Protein, high bioavailability; Protein-free meal

Registered summary

The goal of this interventional study is to learn about the digestibility of different plant-based proteins in adults (age 18-75) with an ileostomy. The main questions the study aims to answer are: 1. How does the digestibility of proteins in the small intestine differ between different plant-based proteins? 2. Which proteins and amino acids are not digested or absorbed in the small intestine and are available for further metabolic processes in the large intestine? 3. How do metabolites in the collected content of the ileostomy bag differ after consuming different plant-based proteins? 4. The full summary is on the listing.

Pre-Exercise Whey and Pea Protein in Adolescents With Type 1 Diabetes

  • No phase
  • University of Jordan
  • About 30 people
  • Starts Oct 1, 2026 (estimated)

In plain words A study of pea Protein in people 12 to 18, run by University of Jordan. It plans to enroll about 30 people and lists no sites yet.

Who it lists and where

Who the trial lists, as registered

Lists people 12 to 18. Conditions: T1D; T1DM.

  • Male and female adolescents with T1D
  • Age: 12-18 years
  • T1D duration ≥ 1 year and HbA1c <10%
  • BMI-for Age- z-score between -2 and +2

3 more inclusion criteria and the exclusion criteria are on the listing.

What it tests, as registered

low whey protein; moderate whey protein; low Pea protein; Moderate Pea protein

Registered summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether drinking whey protein or pea protein before exercise affects blood sugar levels and appetite in adolescents with type 1 diabetes. The study will also compare two different amounts of each type of protein. The full summary is on the listing.
