Food insecurity and low diet quality are persistent problems linked with chronic disease and poor health among limited-resource children and adults using Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). We have shown nutrition education via adult-focused, direct SNAP-Education (SNAP-Ed) improved household food security by 25% but not adult dietary quality among SNAP-eligible households using a randomized, controlled, longitudinal SNAP-Ed intervention in Indiana. Households experiencing food insecurity often reserve food considered "healthful" for children, so child dietary quality improvement may precede that observed among adults when household food security improves. This study will determine the effect of adult-focused direct SNAP-Ed on child dietary quality and household food security using a longitudinal randomized, controlled SNAP-Ed intervention. Assessment will include repeated 24-hour dietary recalls to determine usual intake, the U.S. Household Food Security Survey Module, and behavior data from before and after the 10-week "intervention period," and 1 year later, after which the control group will receive the intervention. Low-income participants (n=275) from Indiana will be recruited following SNAP-Ed protocol. Results of the study will inform the creation of supplementary on-demand SNAP-Ed educational material focused on improving healthful dietary intake for children and adults in situations of food insecurity in households with children. Education on modeling healthy attitudes and behaviors, planning and preparing family meals, and dietary shortfalls as informed by the results and previous evidence will be included and evaluated. The study aligns with the goals of USDA to increase food security and this RFP to improve healthful behaviors, food quality and nutrition.

Meal Order for Diabetes

Norfolk, Virginia
There is well documented evidence that ingesting dietary carbohydrate in large amounts tends to increase postprandial glucose. In healthy populations, this is not necessarily a problem, but continuous exposure to high levels of glucose-hyperglycemia-is a defining characteristic and risk factor for type 2 diabetes mellitus. Consuming a carbohydrate-rich food as the final food in a meal sequence has been shown to significantly reduce postprandial glucose excursions in both diabetes patients and in healthy controls. The exact mechanisms behind this phenomenon are not well understood, but one proposed course is simply that the vegetable and protein already being digested slows the rate of glucose rise. Despite the findings, little-to-no research has examined how manipulating the order of foods in a meal impacts subsequent exercise responses. In this experimental crossover study, each participant will undergo two acute feeding conditions (carbohydrate-rich foods first vs. last in a meal), which will be followed by exercise 60 minutes later. We will observe the effects of meal order on postprandial glucose, substrate/fuel utilization, and subjective perceptions at rest and during 30 minutes of exercise.

Consuming a carbohydrate-rich food as the final food in a meal, as compared to the first food in a meal, has been shown to reduce blood glucose levels after eating in both diabetes patients and in healthy controls. However, gaps remain in the literature in this area of research, and currently little is known about how substrate (fuel) use is impacted by altering food order. In addition, most studies to date have used a mix of meat and plant foods, while little research has focused exclusively on vegetarian foods. This randomized experiment will examine how altering the order of foods eaten in a vegetarian meal impacts blood glucose and fuel utilization at rest.

Supplement for Hunger

Fort Worth, Texas
Study Summary The goal of this study is to understand whether a dietary supplement containing L-arginine, resveratrol, tart cherry, and vitamin C reduces hunger and increases the release of GLP-1, a hormone associated with appetite suppression and improved glucose regulation. The study will also explore the metabolic effects of the supplement. Main Questions: 1. Does the supplement reduce hunger more effectively than a placebo? 2. Does it enhance GLP-1 release in individuals with overweight or obesity? Participants: * Age: 18-60 years * Body Mass Index (BMI): 25-40 kg/m² * Total participants: 25 * Must maintain usual eating and activity habits during the study. Study Design: * Conditions Tested: High-dose supplement, low-dose supplement, and placebo. * Participants will undergo three separate 2-hour lab visits, each after fasting for 8 hours. * During each visit: * Consume the assigned supplement or placebo. * Eat a standardized meal after a 60-minute rest. * Provide blood samples at eight time points to measure GLP-1 and other metabolic markers. * Rate hunger using a 7-point scale. Benefits and Risks: * Benefits: Participants may not directly benefit, but the findings could lead to new appetite-suppressing supplements that aid in weight loss. * Risks: Include discomfort from blood draws, possible gastrointestinal side effects from the supplement, and allergic reactions. Measures are in place to minimize these risks, such as pre-screening for allergies and using trained personnel for blood collection. This study is triple-blinded, meaning neither the participants, researchers, nor analysts will know which condition is being tested during each visit. Data collected will be anonymized to protect participant privacy.

Each participant will be asked to participate in this research study which distinguishes different types of Interstitial Cystitis/Bladder Pain Syndrome. Research studies include only people who wish to participate. The study team members will explain the study to each participant, and all questions about the study will be answered. Each participant will be given adequate time when deciding to participate in this study. Should the participant consent to participate, then the participant will agree to undergo have a single Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) test that involves the use of radio waves and a powerful magnet which are linked to a computer that looks at the bladder. The MRI test is being performed to see if the bladder is leaky, which would suggest Interstitial Cystitis (IC). The MRI test involves placing Gadobutrol and Ferumoxytol into the bladder using a sterile catheter, a small hollow tube through which fluids pass. Preliminary data suggests that IC patients with Hunners lesions have increased Gadobutrol in the bladder wall lining.

"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 Hunger 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 Hunger 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 Hunger 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 Hunger 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 Hunger 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 Hunger clinical trials?

Most recently, we added Chia + Hemp Seeds for Weight Management, Supplement for Hunger and Meal Order for Abnormal Glucose Metabolism to the Power online platform.
