Mibavademab for Fat Loss Syndrome

Ann Arbor, Michigan
This study is researching an experimental drug called mibavademab. The study is focused on participants with GLD who have been on metreleptin treatment for at least 6 months with no change in dose for the last 3 months. The aim of the study is to see how safe and tolerable mibavademab is when switching from treatment with metreleptin. The study is looking at several other research questions, including: * What side effects may happen from taking mibavademab * How much mibavademab is in the blood at different times * Whether the body makes antibodies against mibavademab (which could make mibavademab less effective or could lead to side effects)

AZD9550 for Fatty Liver Disease

Sarnia, Ontario
AZD9550, previously being developed for the treatment NASH, is a dual GCG and GLP-1 receptor agonist. AZD9550 is now being developed in combination with AZD6234, a SARA, for the treatment of overweight and obesity and its associated co-morbidities. Co-administration of AZD9550 and AZD6234 is currently being evaluated in participants living with obesity and overweight without T2DM in an ongoing Phase 2b study. The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety, tolerability, and effects of increasing doses of AZD9550 monotherapy in overweight and obese participants aged 18 through 65 years living with or without T2DM, and to investigate how AZD9550 is absorbed, distributed, and eliminated from the body (Parts A-D). In addition, the study will investigate the safety and tolerability of co-administration of AZD9550 and AZD6234 in participants living with T2DM with obesity or overweight aged 18 through 75 years (Part E).

GLP-1RA for Heart Failure

Charlottesville, Virginia
This study seeks to develop improved cardiac MRI (CMR) methods to quantify epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) composition and to demonstrate the advantages of EAT composition imaging (a) in advancing the understanding of the relationship between EAT and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and (b) for understanding mechanisms of and guiding medical therapy in HFpEF. The investigators recently developed the first method for quantifying EAT FAC in human subjects, utilizing a rate-6 accelerated radial 2D multi-echo gradient-echo breathhold acquisition with a local low rank reconstruction. In this project the first specific aim is to develop a rapid free-breathing 3D EAT FAC MRI method that reduces motion-related artifacts, increases coverage, and facilitates higher spatial resolution and improved FAC reproducibility. The second specific aim is to show that EAT FAC is more strongly associated than EAT volume with cardiometabolic HFpEF. In this context, individuals with known or suspected HFpEF will undergo CMR, echocardiography, and other testing to (a) diagnose cardiometabolic HFpEF; (b) characterize features associated with the severity of HFpEF; and (c) assess EAT volume and FAC. The investigators will determine if EAT FAC is more strongly associated than EAT volume with HFpEF and with features associated with the severity of HFpEF. The third specific aim is to show, in the context of cardiometabolic HFpEF and pre-HFpEF, (a) that GLP-1 receptor agonism with semaglutide (SEMA) shifts the EAT FAC to a less proinflammatory profile and (b) that baseline EAT FAC is a stronger predictor than EAT volume of improved cardiovascular function due to SEMA. Cardiometabolic HFpEF and pre-HFpEF subjects will undergo echocardiography and CMR with EAT FAC at baseline and after 3 months to serve as a self-control. Subjects will then undergo repeat imaging 6 months after the initiation of SEMA. The change in FAC after treatment with SEMA will be compared to the change in FAC prior to SEMA. Data will be analyzed to show that SEMA changes EAT FAC, and that baseline EAT FAC is a stronger predictor than EAT volume of improvements in severity of HFpEF.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids for Type 2 Diabetes Risk Factors

Montreal, Quebec
Every 3 minutes a new case of diabetes is diagnosed in Canada, mostly type 2 diabetes (T2D) increasing the risk for heart disease. T2D and heart disease share many common risk factors such as aging, obesity and unhealthy lifestyle. Paradoxically however, while lowering blood LDL, commonly known as "bad cholesterol", is protective against heart disease, research over the past 10 years have shown that the lower is blood LDL, the higher is the chance of developing T2D. This phenomena is happening whether blood LDL is lowered by a common drug against heart disease called Statins, or by being born with certain variations in genes, some of which are very common (\~80% of people have them). To date, it is unclear why lowering blood LDL is associated with higher risk for diabetes, and whether this can be treated naturally with certain nutrients. Investigators believe that lowering blood LDL by forcing LDL entry into the body tissue through their receptors promotes T2D. This is because investigators have shown that LDL entry into human fat tissue induces fat tissue dysfunction, which would promote T2D especially in subjects with excess weight. On the other hand, investigators have shown that omega-3 fatty acids (omega-3) can directly treat the same defects induced by LDL entry into fat tissue. Omega-3 is a unique type of fat that is found mostly in fish oil. Thus the objectives of this clinical trial to be conducted in 48 subjects with normal blood LDL are to explore if: 1. Subjects with higher LDL receptors and LDL entry into fat tissue have higher risk factors for T2D compared to subjects with lower LDL receptors and LDL entry into fat tissue 2. 6-month supplementation of omega-3 from fish oil can treat subjects with higher LDL receptors and LDL entry into fat tissue reducing their risk for T2D. This study will thus explore and attempt to treat a new risk factor for T2D using an inexpensive and widely accessible nutraceutical, which would aid in preventing T2D in humans.

Locomotor Training + Testosterone for Spinal Cord Injury

Jacksonville, Florida
This pilot study will determine the feasibility of implementing a combinatory rehabilitation strategy involving testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) with locomotor training (LT; walking on a treadmill with assistance and overground walking) in men with testosterone deficiency and walking dysfunction after incomplete or complete spinal cord injury. The investigators hypothesize that LT+TRT treatment will improve muscle size and bone mineral density in men with low T and ambulatory dysfunction after incomplete or complete SCI, along with muscle fundtion and walking recovery in men with T low and ambulatory dysfunction ater incomplete SCI.

Overfeeding Effects on Obesity

Baton Rouge, Louisiana
Adipose, or fat, tissue is a plastic organ that retains the ability to expand and store excess calories during positive energy balance in humans. The capacity of subcutaneous (subQ) adipose tissue to expand and remodel is an important determinant of obesity-related health complications, and impaired expansion of subQ fat tissue is thought to contribute to the risk of diseases such as the Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D). The objectives of the study are to evaluate the changes and mechanisms of (subQ) adipose tissue expandability that occur as a result of short-term weight gain and to investigate the effects on cardio-metabolic health outcomes. Findings from this study will provide new insight into the dynamics of adipose expansion and remodeling during changes in energy balance and how this may impact future fat tissue function and metabolic health.

Why Other Patients Applied

"I have dealt with voice and vocal fold issues related to paralysis for over 12 years. This problem has negatively impacted virtually every facet of my life. I am an otherwise healthy 48 year old married father of 3 living. My youngest daughter is 12 and has never heard my real voice. I am now having breathing issues related to the paralysis as well as trouble swallowing some liquids. In my research I have seen some recent trials focused on helping people like me."

"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."
