Esophageal Stimulation for Neonatal Feeding Disorder

Columbus, Ohio
The goal of this study is to demonstrate safety, feasibility, and efficacy of a novel pharyngo-esophageal stimulation technique in restoring aerodigestive and swallowing functions in select infants at-risk for chronic gavage tube feeding or gastrostomy. The main aims are: * To provide consistent activation of deglutition (the process of swallowing), swallowing-airway interactions, and peristalsis in order to decrease the risk of home tube feeding. * To examine whether physical and manometric evidence-guided interventions and biofeedback will improve compliance, minimize parental stress, and increase satisfaction and perceived self-confidence with infant feeding. Participants will have weekly pharyngo-esophageal stimulation guided by High Resolution Impedance Manometry (HRIM) for 4 weeks or until discharge, oral nutritive stimulation of at least 5 mL of prescribed milk with each feed, and weekly parental education and feedback regarding feeding progress.

Enteral Nutrition Formula for ALS

Fort Lauderdale, Florida
The main objective of the proposed study is to evaluate if oral intake of EN formula preceding Gtube placement will impact tolerance upon placement and feeding via Gtube in pALS. This single arm intervention study all participants will receive the intervention and researchers will utilize validated indicators combined with clinical expertise to assess gastrointestinal symptoms of feeding intolerance before and after the intervention. The main questions this study aims to answer are: 1. Wil participants meeting a greater percentage of their estimated nutritional needs at baseline present a slower disease progression rate and a lower incidence of GI symptoms of feeding intolerance when feeding via Gtube? 2. Will there be significant change in feeding intolerance when oral intake of enteral nutrition formula precedes feeding via Gtube? This proposed study consists of three stages, as follows: 1. Pre-Intervention: The lead in period of one-week preceding intervention phase I will be timed to initiate 3 weeks before the scheduled Gtube placement procedure. Patients will be advised to maintain their usual food and beverage intake. Dietary intake and GI symptoms data will be collected by research personnel. 2. Phase I: Dietary intake data collected from the pre-intervention stage will be averaged and used to determine the number of cartons of enteral nutrition formula needed to meet the participants estimated nutritional needs. For two weeks +- 2 days participants will be directed to drink the number of cartons of a pre-selected enteral nutrition formula to meet their estimated nutritional needs when combined to their current oral dietary intake. A plant based EN formula (Kate Farms 1.4 Standard) commonly prescribed for pALS was selected to be provided to all patients in the study to keep this variable constant. Weekly data collection of dietary intake and GI symptoms will be ongoing. 3. Phase II: At the end of phase I, patients will undergo a Gtube placement at their selected medical facility. For the following two weeks +- 2 days participants will be directed to feed via Gtube the same number of cartons of the enteral nutrition formula used orally on phase I and make no changes to their current oral intake.

Robotic vs Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy for Obesity

Cleveland, Ohio
This will be a prospective, obesity-registry based, single-blind randomized controlled trial with a 1:1 allocation ratio. Specific inclusion criteria are all patients eligible to undergo a Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) based on the current National Institute of Health (NIH) patient selection guidelines. Patients should be able to give consent, be deemed medically-cleared to undergo elective surgery, and tolerate general anesthesia. All enrollments and surgeries in this study will take place at the Cleveland Clinic Bariatric and Metabolic Institute. The study will consist of 2 interventions: laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) or robotic sleeve gastrectomy (RSG). The primary objective is early postoperative pain, but also surgeon ergonomics and patient quality of life will be compared. Additional outcomes include 30-day perioperative results, minor and major morbidities, serious adverse events, resolution of medical comorbidities, and weight loss in percent of excess weight lost (%EWL) at one year.

Bariatric Surgery vs Semaglutide vs Tirzepatide for Obesity

Cleveland, Ohio
The recent introduction of the new generation of anti-obesity medications (AOMs) will change the future of obesity treatment. These highly effective medications, such as high-dose semaglutide and tirzepatide, are hormone analogues that augment the incretin function and exert multiple physiological effects by activating glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and/or glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) distributed in various organs. These medications provide an average of 15-22% weight reduction in one-year trials, which had not been seen in the past with medical therapy. While the literature suggests that bariatric surgery is superior to these new highly effective medications, there is no head-to-head comparison between the most common bariatric operations (Roux-en-Y gastric bypass \[RYGB\] and sleeve gastrectomy \[SG\]) with semaglutide (once weekly) and tirzepatide (once weekly). The goal of this Randomized Clinical Trial (RCT) is to compare these effective therapies in patients with severe obesity to provide the best evidence to inform clinical decisions in treating patients with obesity.

Magnetogastrogram for Gastroparesis

Nashville, Tennessee
There is a tremendous clinical need for a noninvasive technique that can assess gastric electrical activity and would be repeatable without any exposure to radiation. Investigators developed a new technique allowing to use noninvasive methods to assess bioelectrical activity in the gastrointestinal system. This has enabled to characterize the normal and pathologic physiology of the stomach through the use of noninvasive magnetogastrogram (MGG) records. Primary hypothesis for this proposal is that analysis of gastric slow wave uncoupling and propagation in multichannel MGG discriminates between normal and pathological gastric electrical activity. Eventually, investigators envision this research leading to new insights for gastrointestinal conditions such as gastroparesis, functional dyspepsia and chronic idiopathic nausea that would inform clinical management of these debilitating diseases.

Bariatric Surgery for Obesity

New York, New York
The goal of this project is to understand why bariatric surgery is such an effective treatment for obesity with a focus on brain mechanisms. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) neuropeptide, hormone and protein levels will be measured as a surrogate for changes in brain activity in participants before and after bariatric surgery as compared with participants before and after diet-induced weight loss. The investigators are studying neuropeptides and hormones that are know to be involved with the regulation of appetite and body weight to determine if some of the changes that are expected to occur after diet-induced weight loss do not occur after bariatric surgery. In addition, proteomic analysis will be used to uncover new protein biomarkers that are unique to surgical weight loss. The results of these studies will help explain why bariatric surgery is so effective in achieving long-term weight loss. Understanding how the central nervous system responds to bariatric surgery could help the development of alternative nonsurgical therapies for obesity and its metabolic complications.

Zynrelef vs Exparel for Postoperative Pain

Lubbock, Texas
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of an injectable combination of bupivacaine and meloxicam (Zynrelef) vs injectable liposomal bupivacaine (Exparel), two extended local anesthesia strategies currently approved by FDA and on the market for post-surgical pain control. The investigators plan on randomizing study participants to either Exparel or Zynrelef at the closure site of robotic sleeve gastrectomy and assessing their pain control postoperatively both in the hospital and at home. The investigators will measure the outcome of two drugs, Zynrelief, and Exparel on postoperative pain score -using the NRS pin score up to 72 hours after surgery. The total opioid use will be recorded in forms that will be used to measure pain score and total opioid use and will be collected to the Excel sheet. The cost of the drug will be calculated for internal use for Hospital purpose only.

Pain Management Strategies for Postoperative Pain

Phoenix, Arizona
This study aims to better understand the role that narcotic vs. non-narcotic multimodal pain management play in patients' pain following bariatric surgery (Laproscopic Surgery and Robotic Assisted Surgery). Participation in this study will last approximately 90 days following surgery. During that 90 day period, participants will be asked to report pain and nausea every 4 hours to a study coordinator or nurse while they are recovering in the hospital. Following discharge from the hospital patients will be asked to report pain, nausea, and any medical changes 7 days, 30 days, and 90 days from surgical date. The procedures and medications used in this study are FDA approved medical therapies and are part of Standard of Care for this population. This study aims to therapeutically investigate efficacy of the proposed pain management regimens. The procedures and individual medications are not the subject of research as they are considered routine well established and documented interventions for obesity and the treatment of post operative pain.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Gastrostomy 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 Gastrostomy 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 Gastrostomy 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 Gastrostomy 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 Gastrostomy 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 Gastrostomy clinical trials?

Most recently, we added Modified Sleeve Gastrectomy for Acid Reflux, Robotic Surgery for Pediatric Procedures and Sleeve Gastrectomy vs Knee Replacement Surgery for Obesity to the Power online platform.
