Walkasins for Peripheral Neuropathy

Galveston, Texas
The goal of this clinical trial is to is to test whether Walkasins can help people with peripheral neuropathy maintain their balance better. The main question it aims to answer is whether participants who use Walkasins on an everyday basis over a six-month period will report better awareness of their foot placement on the ground. Researchers will compare Walkasins users to a control group of participants who are not using Walkasins to see if the device improves the users' performance on some standing and walking tests. Control group participants will get Walkasins after six months of being in the study. During the study participants will be asked to do the following: * Answer questions about their medical history and balance. * Do some standing and walking tests. Some of the tests will be timed. * Attend study visits and participate in study phone calls. * Keep track of any falls and notify study staff if they fall. * Wear the Walkasins device on a regular basis.

Fenofibrate for Diabetic Retinopathy

Houston, Texas
This randomized trial will evaluate the effect of fenofibrate compared with placebo for prevention of diabetic retinopathy (DR) worsening through 6 years of follow-up in eyes with mild to moderately severe non-proliferative DR (NPDR) and no CI-DME at baseline. In addition to evaluating efficacy, this study aims to evaluate the feasibility of a model for ophthalmologists to prescribe or collaborate with a primary care provider such as an internist/endocrinologist to prescribe and monitor the drug safely. If this study demonstrates that fenofibrate is effective for reducing the onset of proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) or and the results are adopted by the community of retina specialists, a new strategy to prevent vision threatening complications of diabetes could be widely adopted. Widespread use of an oral agent effective at reducing worsening of DR would decrease the numbers of patients who undergo more invasive and much more expensive treatment for DR and who are consequently at risk for side effects that adversely affect visual function. This study will also assess the relationship of glycemic variability, as measured by continuous glucose monitoring with DR outcomes. Ancillary studies will characterize functional and structural outcomes in this cohort.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Diabetes clinical trials in Houston, TX 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 Diabetes clinical trials in Houston, TX 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 Diabetes trials in Houston, TX 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 in Houston, TX for Diabetes 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 in Houston, TX 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 Diabetes medical study in Houston, TX?

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 Diabetes clinical trials in Houston, TX?

Most recently, we added Smart Insoles + Diabetes Education for Diabetes, Tirzepatide for Prostate Cancer and Walkasins for Peripheral Neuropathy to the Power online platform.

What do the "Power Preferred" and "SuperSite" badges mean?

We recognize research clinics with these awards when they are especially responsive to patients who apply through the Power online platform. SuperSite clinics are research sites recognized for a high standard of rapid and thorough follow-up with patient applicants. Meanwhile, Power Preferred clinics are the top 20 across the entire Power platform, recognized for their absolute top patient experience.

Which clinics have received Power Preferred and SuperSite awards recruiting for Diabetes trials in Houston, TX?

The Diabetes clinics in Houston, TX currently recognized as SuperSites are: Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas

What is the best treatment for diabetes?

There isn’t one “best” therapy—think of diabetes care as two layers. First, everyone benefits from diabetes education, a balanced diet, regular activity, and routine monitoring. Second, medicines are chosen by diabetes type and other health issues: type 1 always needs insulin (preferably with a continuous glucose monitor or hybrid pump), while type 2 usually starts with metformin plus lifestyle changes and, if more help is needed, adds a GLP-1 or SGLT2 drug (especially when heart, kidney, or weight problems exist) before considering insulin. Work with your healthcare team to revisit these steps every few months so treatment keeps pace with your goals and any new health changes.

How much weight do you need to lose to reverse type 2 diabetes?

Most studies find that you need to shed about 10–15 % of your starting weight—roughly 15 kg (33 lb) for an average-sized adult—to give yourself the best shot at putting type-2 diabetes into remission (normal sugars without diabetes pills). The closer you are to diagnosis and the more weight you keep off—especially if you can pass the 15 kg mark—the higher the odds (up to 80 % in some trials), while smaller losses still improve blood sugar but rarely achieve full remission. Work with your healthcare team to choose a safe approach (intensive diet program, GLP-1 medications, or bariatric surgery) and to monitor that blood-sugar targets stay on track once the weight comes off.

Can diabetics still get Ozempic?

Yes—if you have type-2 diabetes and meet NICE criteria (poor glucose control despite other drugs, or need for weight loss/heart-protection), your GP or diabetes nurse can still prescribe Ozempic; it is not used for type-1 diabetes, pregnancy, or in children. The practical hurdle is the current UK supply shortage, so existing users should order repeats early and stay in touch with their pharmacist, while new patients may need to start a similar medicine (e.g., dulaglutide) until stock returns.

When will oral insulin be available?

No insulin pill has been approved yet. The most advanced candidates (such as insulin tregopil and ORMD-0801) are still redesigning or preparing large Phase 3 studies, and newer “chocolate-capsule” nano-formulations have not even begun human trials until at least 2025. If upcoming studies succeed, regulatory review and manufacturing mean that everyday prescription use is unlikely before the late-2020s at the earliest.

Why is type 2 diabetes not curable?

Type 2 diabetes isn’t considered curable because its root problems—body-wide insulin resistance and gradual loss of insulin-producing β-cells—can return whenever weight or lifestyle slips, and adult β-cells don’t fully regrow once lost. Big, sustained weight loss (through diet, bariatric surgery, or powerful medications) can put the disease into remission for years, but the underlying susceptibility remains, which is why regular follow-up and healthy habits must continue even when blood sugar is normal.

Can I stop taking metformin when my sugar is back to normal?

Normal readings don’t necessarily mean diabetes is cured; for many people the numbers stay normal only because metformin is on board, and stopping it without a plan can let sugars creep back up. Talk with your clinician about whether you truly meet “remission” criteria (HbA1c < 6.5 % for at least 6 months, stable weight, good kidney function); if so, you can try a monitored dose-reduction, check home glucose and repeat labs in 3 months, and restart the drug promptly if levels rise. In short, never quit metformin on your own—make it a shared, step-by-step decision that includes a taper and clear follow-up.

Can a person fully recover from diabetes?

Type 1 diabetes cannot presently be cured; people need lifelong insulin. In type 2 diabetes, some individuals—especially soon after diagnosis—can achieve remission (normal blood-sugar readings without diabetes medicines) through substantial, sustained weight loss or bariatric surgery, but the underlying tendency can return, so regular check-ups remain essential. So while you may control or even “switch off” type 2 diabetes for a time, no form of diabetes is considered permanently gone.

Which country has the cure for diabetes?

No country has an approved, take-home “cure” for diabetes; the Chinese cell-therapy result you may have seen was a one-patient, early-stage experiment that still needs larger trials and regulatory review. Worldwide teams—from China to the United States, Canada, Europe and beyond—are testing stem-cell implants, gene editing and immune therapies, but for now the proven way to stay healthy is tight glucose monitoring, modern medications (e.g., metformin, GLP-1 or insulin) and lifestyle changes, with bariatric surgery offering remission for some people with type 2 diabetes. Stay alert for peer-reviewed trial results and discuss any experimental option with your diabetes specialist before pursuing treatment abroad.

What is the record trial for diabetes?

RECORD (Rosiglitazone Evaluated for Cardiac Outcomes and Regulation of Glycaemia in Diabetes) was a 5-year study of 4,458 adults with type 2 diabetes that compared adding rosiglitazone to metformin or a sulfonylurea versus the standard metformin-plus-sulfonylurea combination. It showed no overall difference in cardiovascular deaths or hospitalisations (hazard ratio 0.99), but rosiglitazone roughly doubled the risk of heart-failure events and increased bone fractures; these safety concerns, rather than glucose control, ultimately led regulators and doctors to curb use of the drug.

What is the A1C goal for a 70 year old?

For a 70-year-old who already has diabetes, guidelines use a sliding scale: aim below about 7–7.5 % if the person is otherwise healthy and independent, below 8 % if they have multiple illnesses or mild functional decline, and up to 8.5 % if they are frail or in long-term care—these higher limits reduce the risk of dangerous low-blood-sugar episodes. If the 70-year-old is only being screened, the usual cut-offs still apply (normal < 5.7 %, pre-diabetes 5.7-6.4 %, diabetes ≥ 6.5 % confirmed). Work with the healthcare team to choose the target that balances day-to-day safety with long-term benefit.
