NDPP-NextGen for Diabetes Risk Reduction

Winston-Salem, North Carolina
The goal of this clinical trial is to test an enhanced version of the National Diabetes Prevention Program (NDPP-NextGen) that is tailored to young women in childbearing years. The investigators will recruit 360 women aged 18-39 years with overweight/obesity who are not currently pregnant, but likely to conceive within 24 months. Women will be randomized to NDPP-NextGen or a usual care control group. The NDPP-NextGen group will participate in the adapted NDPP online group class across 12 months, and the control group will get a packet of information about how to be healthy before, during and after pregnancy. The main goals of the study are: 1. to assess effects of NDPP-NextGen on pre-pregnancy blood sugar and early pregnancy BMI 2. to assess effects of NDPP-NextGen on weight gain and behavioral outcomes during pregnancy 3. to explore effects of NDPP-NextGen on infant's percentage of fat tissue at birth All participants will complete up to 4 research visits: baseline, conception, mid-pregnancy, and delivery. These visits will include: 1. Questionnaires about health, diet, activity, smoking, self-confidence, and depression 2. Body size measurements 3. Fasted blood draws Participants will also be asked to weigh themselves weekly using home scales that are connected to the research database. At the delivery visit, investigators will measure the baby's body size and collect a cord blood sample.

WIC + RDN Referrals for Maternal Health

Danville, Pennsylvania
This study is being done to find out if online referrals to a food management program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) made by clinical teams will get more people to enroll in WIC. Women aged 18 or older who get healthcare at Geisinger, are pregnant, and are eligible to be referred to the WIC program will be recruited. These women need to consent to join this study. There are four groups in this study. Group 1 will get usual care with details about WIC from their clinical team. Group 2 will be sent to WIC by their clinical team. The study team may help the clinical team with the referrals. Group 3 will get details about WIC from their clinical team and a dietitian will talk to them about heart-healthy diets and food management. Group 4 will be sent to WIC by their clinical team or study team and a dietitian will talk to them about heart-healthy diets and food management. Participants who talk with the dietitians will be sent kitchen utensils based on need. This study will last about 18 months and will have 240 total subjects joining at about 60 per month. Each subject will be in the study for about 6 months. Subjects will be asked to complete surveys at the start and end of the study. Some subjects will also be asked about their experience in the study after they are done.

Customized Prenatal Vitamins for Obesity during Pregnancy

Boston, Massachusetts
The purpose of this study is to devise and pilot a BMI-based prenatal vitamin for obese pregnant women. Currently, all pregnant women, regardless of body mass index, take the same prenatal vitamin. The investigators have found that obese pregnant women have higher levels of inflammation and oxidative stress, and a concomitant depletion of specific antioxidant micronutrients. The investigators have also found, in an animal model, that decreasing inflammation and oxidative stress during obese pregnancy was associated with improved offspring outcomes. Here the investigators aim to understand whether a BMI-based prenatal vitamin is effective in decreasing markers of inflammation and oxidative stress by raising concentrations of antioxidant micronutrients and in pregnancies complicated by obesity.

PQQ for Maternal Obesity

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
Maternal obesity (MO) affects 1 in 5 women and is strongly linked to increased birth weight, childhood/adolescent obesity, life-long metabolic and inflammatory disorders, and childhood neuropsychiatric disorders. There remains a critical unmet need for developing a safe and effective non-pharmacological approach for attenuating metabolic inflammation and ameliorating the adverse effects of MO on offspring health that originate in utero and extend into the lactational period. Pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) is a diet-derived natural food supplement with anti-inflammatory properties that, in humans and mice, improves metabolism and exerts potent immunoregulatory effects. Researchers' central hypothesis is that PQQ administration during MO pregnancy 1) improves maternal metabolic and inflammatory indices, 2) improves utero-placental blood flow and ameliorates placental maladaptation (oxidative stress, hypoxia, inflammation and fatty acid transporter expression) and 3) reduces neonatal adiposity.

Azithromycin for Maternal Obesity

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
Obesity increases the risk of pregnancy complications, including puerperal infections and cesarean delivery, and risk rises with increasing body mass index (BMI). Since obese women are more likely to have comorbidities that would necessitate delivery prior to their due date (i.e. prior to 40 weeks gestation), and class III obesity specifically is an indication for delivery by 39 weeks, these patients have a high rate of labor induction. In nulliparous women from the general population (obese and non-obese), labor induction at 39 weeks (compared to expectant management) is associated with less maternal morbidity and a lower cesarean rate. Researchers previously conducted a pilot randomized placebo-controlled trial in obese, nulliparous women undergoing labor induction at term and found that the cesarean delivery rate was lower in women who received a prophylactic antibiotic regimen during labor compared with those who received the placebo. Researchers proposed multi-center trial aims to test this hypothesis in a large sample with adequate power to determine whether prophylactic antibiotics during labor are associated with a decrease in the rate of cesarean delivery in term, nulliparous, obese women. If the findings from the pilot trial are confirmed, this would represent a novel intervention to decrease the cesarean delivery rate in a subset of women at highest risk for cesarean-related complications.

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."

FF
ADHD PatientAge: 31

"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."

"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 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."

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Maternal Obesity 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 Maternal Obesity 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 Maternal Obesity 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 Maternal Obesity 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 Maternal Obesity 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 Maternal Obesity clinical trials?

Most recently, we added Nutrition Programs for Postpartum Recovery, Nutrition Optimization for Postpartum Recovery and Online Program for Childhood Obesity to the Power online platform.
