This trial tests semaglutide, a medication that controls blood sugar, in people with HIV who have abnormal fat accumulation. It aims to see if the drug can reduce fat, improve blood vessel function, and lower inflammation. Semaglutide has been used to improve blood sugar levels and reduce body weight in individuals with obesity and type 2 diabetes.

Insulin Injection Sites for Diabetes

Vancouver, British Columbia
Evaluation of insulin absorption at sites affected by clinically apparent lipohypertrophy through short-term continuous glucose monitoring has shown inconsistent results and it is yet unknown how or if subclinical lipohypertrophy affects absorption. In this study investigators propose to enroll at least 20 people who participated in phase 1 and who were determined to have subclinical lipohypertrophy to examine the correlation between glycemic control and amount of insulin injected in subclinical hypertrophic areas using capillary blood glucose and continuous glucose monitoring.

Lipohypertrophy is swelling of the fatty tissue located below the skin ("subcutaneous tissue") where many patients with diabetes inject their insulin. Lipohypertrophy can sometimes be felt as firm swelling, lumps or small bumps near insulin injection sites. Previous studies have shown that injecting insulin into areas of lipohypertrophy can affect how insulin is absorbed, and can increase insulin requirements in patients. New data suggest that lipohypertrophy can be detected using ultrasound technology. The ultrasonographic presence of changes to the subcutaneous tissue without swelling that can be felt ("subclinical lipohypertrophy") and the effect of injecting insulin into these sites is unknown. 100 people will participate in the Phase 1 of this study. In the second phase of the study, 40 patients identified with subclinical lipohypertrophy in Phase 1 will be asked to participate in the randomized study using crossover design by checking your glucose levels.

Why Other Patients Applied

"I've been struggling with ADHD and anxiety since I was 9 years old. I'm currently 30. I really don't like how numb the medications make me feel. And especially now, that I've lost my grandma and my aunt 8 days apart, my anxiety has been even worse. So I'm trying to find something new."

"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."

"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."

Depression PatientAge: 51

"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."

Pancreatic Cancer PatientAge: 40

"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."

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 Lipohypertrophy 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 Lipohypertrophy 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 Lipohypertrophy 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 Lipohypertrophy 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 Lipohypertrophy 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 Lipohypertrophy clinical trials?

Most recently, we added Ultrasound Technology for Detecting Lipohypertrophy in Diabetes, Semaglutide for HIV-Associated Lipohypertrophy and Insulin Injection Sites for Diabetes to the Power online platform.
