Pivotal Trials (Near Approval)
Breakthrough Medication
The goal of this trial is to create personalized treatments for each patient admitted to the hospital with acute severe ulcerative colitis (ASUC). The study will test the feasibility and acceptability of these treatment strategies among patients and physicians so that the study team can later do a larger trial to test whether the medication treatment pathways help patients avoid colectomy while ensuring patient's are safe.

PL-8177 for Ulcerative Colitis

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
The purpose of this study is to compare PL8177 (a melanocortin receptor agonist) to placebo (in a 3:1 ratio-meaning that for every 3 people that get the active drug, one will receive placebo). The study treatment will be for 8 weeks. The study will measure safety and the body's ability to handle PL8177 and look at the improvement and healing of the intestine after 8 weeks of treatment. The study will include adult males and nonpregnant, nonlactating females with acute Ulcerative Colitis (UC).

Trial Status:Active Not Recruiting

16 Participants Needed

This trial involves using FMT, where stool from a healthy donor is placed into the gut of patients with active UC. The goal is to see if this can help balance their gut bacteria and reduce symptoms. Many patients will participate to evaluate the effectiveness of this treatment. FMT has been shown to be effective in treating recurrent Clostridium difficile infection and is being explored for its potential in treating ulcerative colitis.

This trial is testing garetosmab, an experimental drug, in adults with fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP). The drug aims to stop or slow down abnormal bone growth by blocking a specific protein. The study will also look at side effects and how the body reacts to the drug.

Andecaliximab for Stone Man Syndrome

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
This study is researching an experimental drug called andecaliximab. The study will include pediatric and adult patients with fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP). The study will evaluate how safe and effective andecaliximab is in patients with FOP. The study is looking at several research questions, including: * Safety of andecaliximab in participants with FOP * Whether andecaliximab reduces the number of new heterotopic bone lesions (Heterotopic Ossification; HO) * Whether andecaliximab reduces the number or severity of flare-ups * Pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics (PK/PD): How much study drug is in your blood at different times and its impact on blood biomarker(s) * Whether the body makes antibodies against the study drug (which could make the drug less effective or could lead to side effects)

Why Other Patients Applied

"My orthopedist recommended a half replacement of my right knee. I have had both hips replaced. Currently have arthritis in knee, shoulder, and thumb. I want to avoid surgery, and I'm open-minded about trying a trial before using surgery as a last resort."

Arthritis PatientAge: 78

"As a healthy volunteer, I like to participate in as many trials as I'm able to. It's a good way to help research and earn money."

IZ
Healthy Volunteer PatientAge: 38

"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."

AG
Paralysis PatientAge: 50

"I changed my diet in 2020 and I’ve lost 95 pounds from my highest weight (283). I am 5’3”, female, and now 188. I still have a 33 BMI. I've been doing research on alternative approaches to continue my progress, which brought me here to consider clinical trials."

WR
Obesity PatientAge: 58

"I've tried several different SSRIs over the past 23 years with no luck. Some of these new treatments seem interesting... haven't tried anything like them before. I really hope that one could work."

ZS
Depression PatientAge: 51

Why We Started Power

We started Power when my dad was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, and I struggled to help him access the latest immunotherapy. Hopefully Power makes it simpler for you to explore promising new treatments, during what is probably a difficult time.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Flare Up 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 Flare Up 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 Flare Up 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 Flare Up 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 Flare Up 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 Flare Up clinical trials?

Most recently, we added Andecaliximab for Stone Man Syndrome, Personalized Medication for Severe Ulcerative Colitis and Garetosmab for Stone Man Syndrome to the Power online platform.
