The goal of this study is to determine the feasibility and acceptability of two food preference learning approaches for toddlers that could serve as alternatives to mere repeated exposure to new or previously disliked foods. The target population is toddlers who score higher on food fussiness. The study is a two-group randomized controlled trial. Families will be randomized to 1 of 2 study groups: associative conditioning, or the child tasting vegetables alongside a palatable dip, or modeling, in which the child and parent taste vegetables together. Both groups will attend two laboratory visits, one before and one after a 4-week exposure period, and will be asked to complete 8 vegetable tastings in accordance with their assigned condition across the 4 intervention weeks. Key questions to be addressed are: * summarizing the feasibility and acceptability of the intervention strategies * assessing whether children's liking and intake of the target food increase from baseline to post-intervention

Background: The risk of heart disease among African Americans is still common despite a greater understanding of the disease and better approaches to managing it. Healthy cooking and eating patterns can help reduce the risk of heart disease. But things like access to grocery stores and knowledge of good nutrition can affect these healthy patterns. Researchers want to see if community-based programs can help. Objective: To learn about the cooking behaviors of African American adults at risk for heart disease. Also, to see if a community-based cooking intervention will affect home-cooking behaviors. Eligibility: African American adults 18 and older who live in Wards 7 and 8 of Washington, D.C., and have at least one self-reported risk factor for heart disease Design: Phase I participants will complete a survey. It asks about their medical history, lifestyle, stress level, and eating habits. They will take part in a focus group. During this, they will talk about what they eat and what foods are available to them. Participation lasts 1 day for 3 hours at Pennsylvania Avenue Baptist Church in Washington, D.C. Phase II participants will go to shared cooking events at Pennsylvania Avenue Baptist Church. These will be held once a week for 6 weeks. They will be led by a trained chef. Participants will visit the NIH Clinical Center 3 times. Transportation will be provided if they need it. They will have physical exams and have blood drawn. They will be interviewed and complete questionnaires. A dietician will review the food they eat. An occupational therapist will assess their cooking skills. They will keep a daily cooking journal. Participation lasts 18 weeks. ...

Exogenous Ketones for Obesity

Kelowna, British Columbia
People with obesity have different appetitive responses to stimuli compared to people without obesity. For example, people with obesity have a blunted postprandial ghrelin ('hunger' hormone) response, lower glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) and peptide-YY (PYY; associated with satiety) compared to people without obesity. Given the favorable effects of exogenous ketones on appetite previously observed in healthy adults of normal body weight, it is possible that these supplements can alter appetite hormones in a manner that may closer match that observed in people without obesity. To explore this research question, investigators will conduct a randomized single-blind cross over study to characterize appetite and dietary intake after ingestion of an exogenous ketone supplement within adults with obesity (compared a control condition without exogenous ketones) and compared to adults without obesity. The research team will also explore differences in postprandial energy expenditure and fuel utilization. Twenty-two healthy young- and middle-aged adults will be included (up to n=26 enrolled). In addition to a baseline visit to measure body composition, participants will undergo two 4.5-hour study visits, one of which will include a ketone diol supplement and one will have a placebo. Participants will be given a 1-day run-in diet prior to each study day to support energy balance. On each study day visit, participants will undergo a resting metabolic rate test (indirect calorimetry) followed by a fasting appetite rating and blood sample collection. Participants will then be provided with a standard breakfast meal (one with the ketone supplement and one with placebo). Appetite ratings and blood sample collection will be repeated 60, 120, and 180 minutes after the meal. Indirect calorimetry will be completed after the 30, 90, and 150 minute assessments. After the 180-minute timepoint, participants will be provided with a buffet-like lunch meal with instructions to eat as much or as little as they would like to determine ad libitum dietary intake at a single meal. To assess free-living ad libitum dietary intake, participants will receive 1.5 days of food boxes tailored to their preferences, with uneaten food returned at the end of the 1.5-day period. This study will be the first to assess the impact of exogenous ketones on appetite in obesity and would help inform future weight loss intervention trials.

Contrave for Obesity

Ottawa, Ontario
Obesity is a common chronic disease linked with increased risk for other illnesses and earlier death. Our team and others have shown that many bodily and psychological changes occur when individuals are on calorie-restricted diets. These changes might undermine dietary adherence and help to explain the relatively poor long-term efficacy of diets. These include increased appetite, increased food 'value' and 'wanting' that leads to overconsumption. Other factors include more sensitive sensory cues (e.g., smelling), higher food liking and craving, and a drop in resting energy expenditure (REE). REE has been shown to predict weight regain. The standard care for obesity may include the use of the weight-loss drug CONTRAVE®. The Federal Drug Agency (FDA) and Health Canada have approved this drug for weight management and obesity treatment. Although CONTRAVE® was designed to reduce appetite, food-related impulsivity and cravings, its mechanisms of action are unclear. In other words, the effects of CONTRAVE® on REE, executive function, and brain changes remain unknown in humans. A better understanding of how this drug works on the brain and body could lead to improvements in obesity management in the future. As such, the goal of this research is to study the effects of 4 weeks of CONTRAVE® (+ diet program) vs. control (placebo pill + diet program) on mood, body composition changes, biological/metabolic measures, and brain measures. Adults aged 18-64 with obesity will be randomized to one of two groups: diet + CONTRAVE® (CONTRAVE®, 20 participants) or diet + Placebo (Placebo, 20 participants). Both groups will be assigned the same study procedures for the entire study duration. The only difference is that Group 1 will receive CONTRAVE® while Group 2 will receive a placebo (non-medical) pill. The study design and intervention is as follows: Participants who meet all the telephone screening criteria will be invited to the Clinical EEG \& Neuroimaging Laboratory at The Royal's IMHR for an in-person screening and test-dose session. Participants who are cleared by the study physician, Dr. Pierre Blier, during the in-person screening will be enrolled in the 4-weeks trial. After the in-person screening visit, participants will attend two baseline testing visits (before starting the medication + diet program). The first will occur at the Behavioural and Metabolic Research Unit at the University of Ottawa. During this in-person visit, measures of body composition, resting energy expenditure, appetite, food craving, impulsivity, eating behaviours, taste and odour sensitivity, energy intake, and food preference will be collected. The second baseline visit (within a week of the first one) will occur at The Royal/IMHR. During this visit, participants will be asked to complete questionnaires. They will undergo an EEG recording while resting and performing computer tasks. They will also get a brain imaging scan, during which they are asked to rest and complete a computer task. Both testing sessions (University of Ottawa and Royal Ottawa testing sessions) will be repeated after four weeks of treatment. The section below provides further description and timing of these visits. As part of the treatment, you will receive an individualized dietary intervention with appropriate energy restriction from a registered dietitian at Dr. Judy Shiau's LEAF weight management clinic (called the 4-week BUDS program). The program involves weekly touch points with a registered dietitian and meal planning/coaching. The diet intervention will commence the same week as the start of the placebo/CONTRAVE®. During the 4-week intervention, participants will be asked to complete online questionnaires at various times.

"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 Dietary Behavior 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 Dietary Behavior 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 Dietary Behavior 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 Dietary Behavior 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 Dietary Behavior 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 Dietary Behavior clinical trials?

Most recently, we added Front-of-package Labels for Nutrition Knowledge, Toddler Tastes for Dietary Behavior and Behavioral Economics for Healthy Eating to the Power online platform.
