Humanized Prebiotics for Gut Health

Chapel Hill, North Carolina
This study aims to establish the safety of a 15 g/day dose of pure prebiotics ß(1-4) galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) and GOS enriched with N-Acetyl-D-lactosamine, a building block of gut glycoproteins and human milk oligosaccharides (LAcNac, humanized GOS, hGOS) in healthy adult individuals. The safety and tolerability of the dose and the biological signature of GOS and hGOS in healthy adults will be established through a pilot clinical trial to assess GOS and hGOS effects vs placebo on (i) gastrointestinal adverse effects as measured by the Gastrointestinal Symptom and Severity Checklist (GSSC), (ii) increased abundance of beneficial gut bacteria and restoration of the gut microbiome saccharolytic potential, (iii) modulation of biomarkers of inflammation and (iv) evaluation of intestinal barrier function.

Menopausal women have an increased risk of recurrent urinary tract infections. This is likely due in part to hormonal changes occurring during menopause. As estrogen falls, the vaginal microbiome shifts from a healthy one to a less healthy one. Because the vagina is close to the urethra, this vaginal microbiome shift contributes to a loss of protection against urinary tract infections (UTIs). The investigators are asking whether improving the vaginal microbiome using an over-the-counter vaginal hygiene system can reduce frequency of recurrent UTI in menopausal women.

The purpose of this study is to better understand the effectiveness and safety of microbiome therapies (MT) as a treatment for patients with Multidrug Resistant Organism (MDRO) colonization after an infection. Limited data from prior studies suggest that MT may be an effective treatment to reduce intestinal MDRO colonization Although shedding of MDROs from patients to their surrounding environment is a recognized pathway of transmission, the potential effect of MT on the transmission of MDRO to other patients in the hospital environment is unclear. This study will test the safety and efficacy of MT for this use in hospitalized patients. This study will also help design larger studies. The MT may help reduce MDROs that colonize the gut. By reducing colonization before infections happen, this could help doctors avoid using "last resort" antibiotics that can have serious side effects like kidney damage. The reduction in MDROs after MT was originally identified in patients treated with MT for recurrent Clostridioides difficile (often called "C. diff") diarrhea. It has been shown that a type of MT called fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) can eliminate both C. difficile and other resistant bacteria.

Multivitamin/multimineral supplements (MVI) provide important nutrition supplement to the diet of pregnant women to cover potential deficiencies and optimize nutrition status of both mom and baby, especially when the diet is suboptimal or nutrient demand is high while absorption is hindered by various factors such as genetic variance and gastrointestinal function. It is, however, largely unknown whether using an MVI during the lactating period helps improve nutrition status of mom and baby. In this double-blind, randomized, controlled trial, the investigators will recruit 7- postpartum women who exclusively breastfeed at week 5 postpartum and randomly assign them to either receive the Ritual MVI which is commercially available or a blank placebo for 10 weeks. A blank placebo is appropriate because there is currently no recommendation or scientific consensus that lactating women who are healthy and eat a normal diet would have improved nutrition status or maternal-infant health outcomes from a nutrition supplement. The investigators will collect blood and breastmilk samples at baseline and end of the study to assess nutrient status. The investigators hypothesize that consumption of a Ritual MVI leads to better nutrition status and biomarkers in maternal-child dyads compared to control.

Individuals with lactase non-persistence (LNP; determined by a functional variant in the LCT gene \[rs4988235, GG genotype\]) are susceptible to lactose intolerance in adulthood due to deficiency of lactase, the enzyme which digests milk lactose sugars. However, many LNP individuals still drink ≥1 cup of milk daily. Recent analysis in the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL) found that consumption of 1 serving (cup) of milk/day was associated with \~30% lower risk of type 2 diabetes among LNP individuals, but not among individuals with lactase persistence (LP). This beneficial effect might be partially explained by favorable alterations in gut microbiota and related metabolites associated with higher milk consumption among LNP individuals. Based on these observational study findings, the investigator team proposes to conduct a randomized, controlled trial of lactose-containing vs. lactose-free milk in LNP individuals with pre-diabetes, to comprehensively investigate the effects of milk intake on the gut microbiome and glycemic outcomes.

Protocols for Oral Immunotherapy (OIT) for the main food allergens have been recently incorporated in clinical practice for food allergies and their clinical benefits have been acknowledged in European and Canadian official guidelines. There has been some reluctance in both clinicians and patients to implement these therapies, primarily because of the risk of allergic reactions during the desensitization process. This study will investigate if protocols using low doses of a food allergen or processed versions of the allergen can be both effective in conferring desensitization while inducing fewer allergic symptoms during the desensitization process.

Data regarding optimal treatment for extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing Enterobacteriaceae blood-stream infection are lacking. Observational studies show conflicting results when comparing treatment with combination beta-lactam-beta-lactamase inhibitor and carbapenems. The investigators aim to evaluate the effect of definitive treatment with meropenem vs. piperacillin-tazobactam on the outcome of patients with bacteremia due to cephalosporin-non-susceptible Enterobacteriaceae. The investigators hypothesize that piperacillin-tazobactam is non-inferior to meropenem.

The goal of this this hybrid safety/implementation study is to evaluate whether using long-acting cabotegravir (CAB-LA) for HIV prevention (PrEP) is acceptable, feasible and safe in post-partum people who are breastfeeding. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: * Will CAB-LA injections work well as a way to prevent HIV infection in post-partum people? * Will CAB-LA injections be safe in post-partum people and their infants who will be breastfeeding? Participants without HIV who are admitted to the maternity ward after having delivered a baby will be offered to start CAB-LA PrEP. Those who choose to participate will receive their first dose (injection) at the maternity ward and their follow up doses (injections) at their local clinic when they come for routine post-partum and pediatric care. Participants and their infants will be followed in the study for 24 months. We will be following how many people come on-time for their CAB-LA injections, how often they keep coming back, and the reasons they continue (or stop) these injections. We will also test people for HIV at all of their visits to see how many people get HIV during the study. We will also measure the levels of the medication in the blood of the post-partum people and their infants (who may be getting some of the CAB-LA in breastmilk) and evaluate to see if their is any impact of CAB-LA on the health of the post-partum person or their infants.

"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."

This phase II trial studies how well stereotactic body radiation therapy with or without nivolumab works in treating patients with stage I-IIA non-small cell lung cancer or cancer that has come back. Stereotactic body radiation therapy uses special equipment to position a patient and deliver radiation to tumors with high precision. This method can kill tumor cells with fewer doses over a shorter period and cause less damage to normal tissue. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving stereotactic body radiation therapy and nivolumab may work better at treating non-small cell lung cancer.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Ldct 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 Ldct 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 Ldct 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 Ldct 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 Ldct 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 Ldct clinical trials?

Most recently, we added Radioligand Therapy for Lung Cancer, Temozolomide + SurVaxM for Cancer and Glycerol Tributyrate for MELAS Syndrome and Optic Neuropathy to the Power online platform.
