Trial Phase:Phase 2

60 Participants Needed

Hospital Scene #1: A 6-year-old arrives in the Emergency Department at McMaster Children's Hospital (MCH) complaining of pain in his lower right side. His Dad explains the pain has been going on for a few hours and that Advil and Tyelnol haven't helped at all. He's anxious and concerned about his son because he never complains about pain - so this must be bad. After he has been seen by the doctor, the appendix appears to be the problem and the boy needs to have it removed. Dad wants his son's pain to go away but is worried because he once got a high dose of a medication and had some unwanted side effects. Hospital Scene #2: A 14-year-old girl has been experiencing migraine headaches for the past months and is awaiting an appointment with a specialist. Today, however, the pain is the worst it's been. Mom has picked her up from school and brought her to MCH not knowing what else to do to help her. The Advil and Tylenol have not improved her pain. She desperately wants the pain to go away but is worried because she read that some pain medicines are used without any studies done to see if they work and if they are safe. (https://www.ottawalife.com/article/most-medications-prescribed-to-children-have-not-been-adequately-studied?c=9). In both cases, these children need medicine to help their pain. The treating doctors want to give them pain medicine that will 1) be safe and 2) make the pain go away. This is what parents and the child/teenager, and the doctors want too. Some pain medicines like opioids are often used to help with pain in children. Unfortunately, opioids can have bad side effects and can, when used incorrectly or for a long time, be addictive and even dangerous. A better option would be a non-opioid, like Ketorolac, which also helps pain but is safer and has fewer side effects. The information doctors have about how much Ketorolac to give a child, though, is what has been learned from research in adults. Like with any medication, the smallest amount that a child can take while still getting pain relief is best and safest. Why give more medicine and have a higher risk of getting a side effect, if a lower dose will do the trick? This is what the researchers don't know about Ketorolac and what this study aims to find out. Children 6-17 years old who are reporting bad pain when they are in the Emergency Department or admitted in hospital and who will be getting an intravenous line in their arm will be included in the study. Those who want to participate will understand that the goal of the study is to find out if a smaller amount of medicine improves pain as much as a larger amount. By random chance, like flipping a coin, the child will be placed into a treatment group. The difference between these treatment groups is the amount of Ketorolac they will get. One treatment will be the normal dose that doctors use at MCH, and the other two doses will be smaller. Neither the patient, parent nor doctor will know how much Ketorolac they are getting. Over two hours, the research nurse or assistant will ask the child how much pain they are in. Our research team will also measure how much time it took for the pain to get better, and whether the child had to take any other medicine to help with pain. The research team will also ask families and patients some questions to understand their perceptions of pain control, pain medicines and side effects they know of. This research is important because it may change the way that doctors treat children with pain, not just at MCH but around the world. The results of this study will be shared with doctors through conferences and scientific papers. It's also important that clinicians share information with parents and children so that they can understand more about pain medicines and how these medicines can be used safely with the lowest chance of side effects.

Many athletes anecdotally report modifying their nutritional intake before competition in order to avoid gut problems, but no studies have evaluated whether emotional state impacts tolerance to pre-exercise feeding. Therefore, this study will use movie clips (stressful, horror, and funny/amusing) to induce different mood states and emotions, which will be followed by ingestion of food before endurance running on a treadmill. In addition, metabolic and physiologic responses to mood induction will be evaluated.

Synbiotic Supplement for Colic

San Diego, California
Background and Significance: Bifidobacterium longum subspecies infantis (B. infantis) and other infant associated Bifidobacterium (such as Bifidobacterium longum subspecies longum and Bifidobacterium breve) are known to be important bacteria in the infant gut microbiome. A lack of Bifidobacterium in the infant gut may lead to disordered development of the infant microbiome and immune system, which can contribute to the development of gastrointestinal issues, pathogenic infections, and immune-related conditions including allergic disease and autoimmune disorders. The investigators hypothesize that establishing Bifidobacterium in the infant gut through delivery of a synbiotic, containing bifidobacterium and human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs; Bifidobacterium's primary nutrient source) may modulate the microbiome and correct this disruption. Research Question: Does synbiotic supplementation on infants and toddlers of various ages alter the gut microbiome as measured by GI-tolerance, fecal microbiome composition, and fecal metabolic profile? Objectives: * Demonstrate shifts in microbiome composition and metabolism * Demonstrate tolerance by observing neutral or positive shifts in GI related behaviors Study Design Overview: Participants Infants aged 2-24 months will be enrolled to evaluate the ability of a synbiotic (human milk oligosaccharide + a Bifidobacterium blend (B. infantis, B. longum, and B. breve)) to modulate the gut microbiome. Infants will be randomly split into two cohorts, one that receives synbiotic supplementation and one that receives a placebo control (lactose). Initially, only ages 12-24 months will be enrolled (first 25 participants), and a safety review will be performed prior to enrolling younger infants. Cohorts * Cohort 1 (supplementation) participants will be aged 2 months to 24 months. They will receive synbiotic supplementation for 1 month. * Cohort 2 (no supplementation) participants will be aged 2 months to 24 months. Will receive placebo (lactose) over the course of 1 month. Design Caretakers will be recruited and screened using an online questionnaire to determine eligibility and cohort assignment. They will give consent using an online one-party consent form (Appendix 1). Participants will be distributed randomly between cohorts 1 and 2. Participants will be shipped the synbiotic or placebo (lactose) and a set of stool sampling kits. Calls with the participant will take place throughout the study as necessary to explain participant responsibilities and ensure compliance. Two sample types will be collected during the study, a full fecal sample and a DNA/RNA tube only. The full fecal sample will be collected at the beginning and end of supplementation and the DNA/RNA tube only will be collected at all other time points. Samples will be collected at supplementation start, one week after supplementation, four weeks after supplementation start (coinciding with the end of supplementation) and 6 weeks after supplementation start (coinciding with a 2 week washout period). Journals and questionnaires will be used for the duration of supplementation as well as 2 weeks before and after to assess the impact of supplementation. Laboratory Assessments: Stool samples will be obtained for each subject. The first sample will be taken before supplementation start. Additional samples will be collected: after 1 week of supplementation, after 1 month of supplementation, and after a 2 week period of no supplementation (a washout period). All samples will be collected at home and shipped back to Persephone Biosciences for processing. The initial sample and the sample after 4 weeks of supplementation will be full samples for metagenomic, metabolomic, and proteomic analysis. The 1 week after supplementation and 2 week post supplementation samples will be DNA/RNA tube samples for metagenomics only. Microbial whole genome sequencing, metabolite analysis, and immune profiling will be performed on stool from complete stool kits. Microbial whole genome sequencing alone will be performed on the DNA/RNA tube kits. Data Collection: Demographic data, general health information, diet and lifestyle information will be collected from the subjects (all self-reported). Journals and questionnaires will be used to evaluate the impact of the synbiotic.

"I was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer three months ago, metastatic to my liver, and I have been receiving and responding well to chemotherapy. My blood work revealed that my tumor markers have gone from 2600 in the beginning to 173 as of now, even with the delay in treatment, they are not going up. CT Scans reveal they have been shrinking as well. However, chemo is seriously deteriorating my body. I have 4 more treatments to go in this 12 treatment cycle. I am just interested in learning about my other options, if any are available to me."

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Colic 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 Colic 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 Colic 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 Colic 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 Colic 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 Colic clinical trials?

Most recently, we added Mirikizumab + Tirzepatide for Ulcerative Colitis, Exercise Therapy for Adenomatous Polyposis and Vaccine for E. coli Infections to the Power online platform.
