Why Other Patients Applied

"I have gasteroparesis which causes me extreme bloating, pain, acid reflux, occasional vomiting, nausea, and constipation. Most standard medications have not helped. I did some research to learn about investigational drugs, which I'd be excited to get to access through a trial."

BW
Gasteroparesis PatientAge: 38

"I have a known blockage developing in lower left main 50%, which my doctors are watching. We've considered surgery, but I'd like to rule out all possible other options first. I've done some research, which brought me to clinical trials."

PA
Artery Disease PatientAge: 38

"My ejection fraction is now 20-25%, quite low. Trying to optimize my medications at this time. I have had Biventricular pacemaker/ICD since 2007. I am doing everything I can to improve my health. Following a diet, exercising 30 minutes every day. Most days my systolic blood pressure is < 100. I had a L/R Cath in December and do not have any problems with my coronary arteries. I'm hoping to learn more about the latest research and drugs by participating in a trial. "

WB
Heart Failure PatientAge: 38

"I've been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes since 2000. I was on the highest dose of metformin, which didn't work for me. In 2022, I tried Ozempic, which had bad side effects. I'm not currently on anything to treat my diabetes, given my experiences (as well as some insurance denials). I'm glad that clinical trials exist to help me try to access the latest research. I'm frustrated but also motivated."

PL
Diabetes PatientAge: 38

"In December 2023 I had a stent placed in an artery. I was so glad that the blockage was found before I had either a heart attack, stroke, or both. I have been on Pravastatin for as long as I can remember but I continue to have elevated cholesterol levels. I'm trying to get ahead of my condition by learning more about the latest research and drugs available."

282 Participants Needed

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most preventable cause of stroke. However, despite widely available risk stratification tools, numerous options for oral anticoagulation, and evidence-based practice guidelines, anticoagulation for stroke prevention in AF is consistently under-prescribed. In a pair of observational cohort analyses within the Mass General Brigham (MGB) health system, prescription of anticoagulation for stroke prevention in AF was less frequent in ambulatory clinic patients than in those who were hospitalized at the time of assessment (46.9% vs. 57.2%). Two single academic medical center randomized controlled trials demonstrated success for increasing adherence to guideline recommendations for stroke prevention in AF. To address the feasibility and impact of a computerized decision support (CDS) strategy in the non-tertiary care, community medical center setting, this study will involve a multicenter, cluster-randomized controlled trial of a more sophisticated CDS focused not only on implementation stroke prevention but also on bleeding risk assessment and management.

Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is a common complication following cardiac surgery and leads to worse outcomes. POAF is thought to be caused by the inflammatory state following cardiac surgery. It may be that anti-inflammatory medications could lower the occurrence of POAF, however many typical anti-inflammatory medications, such as ibuprofen, are contraindicated in the post cardiac surgery patient due to increased risks of bleeding. If a drug was identified with anti-inflammatory properties with minimal deleterious side effects, this could be broadly applied to cardiac surgery patients for the prevention of POAF. Interestingly, several small trials have shown that medications that alter transcription of inflammatory markers lead to decreased POAF. Furthermore, we have shown that phytochemicals, such as those found in grapes, have excellent bioavailability and can affect cardiac gene transcription related to inflammation. In this study, we propose to evaluate the efficacy of preoperative administration of concentrated grape powder in the prevention of POAF.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Atrial Fibrillation clinical trials pay?

Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

How do Atrial Fibrillation clinical trials work?

After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Atrial Fibrillation trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Atrial Fibrillation is 12 months.

How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

Do I need to be insured to participate in a Atrial Fibrillation medical study?

Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

What are the newest Atrial Fibrillation clinical trials?

Most recently, we added Computerized Decision Support for Stroke Prevention in Atrial Fibrillation, Lambre Device for Atrial Fibrillation and Grape Powder for Atrial Fibrillation to the Power online platform.
