Genotype-Guided Diet and Exercise for Cardiometabolic Health

Birmingham, Alabama
Natriuretic Peptides (NP) are hormones produced by the heart, and they have a wide range of favorable metabolic benefits. Lower levels of these hormones are associated with an increased likelihood of the development of diabetes and poor cardiometabolic health. Obese and Black individuals have \~30% lower levels of NP and are at a greater risk of developing cardiovascular (CV) events as compared to lean and White counterparts. Some people have common genetic variations that cause them to have \~20% lower NP levels. Similar to other low NP populations, these individuals with low NP genotype (i.e., carrying a common genetic variation called rs5068) are at a greater risk of developing cardiometabolic diseases. By understanding the NP response following the exercise challenge and the glucose challenge in individuals with genetically lower NP levels will help us understand how to improve cardiometabolic health in them.

Gastric Bypass Surgery for Obesity

Columbia, Missouri
Variable outcomes after weight loss surgery are likely attributable to complex, poorly understood mechanisms. Due to the significant impact that morbid obesity has on a patient's health, successful management of obesity and its related comorbid medical conditions is important and thus necessitates continued improved therapies for treating obesity. Although the mechanisms of weight loss after surgical intervention are poorly understood, improved understanding of molecular and metabolic changes that occur after weight loss surgery may offer the ability to provide targeted precision therapy for patients with morbid obesity undergoing surgical therapy. In this proposal, the investigators will combine a clinical trial whereby modifications to the gold-standard for weight loss surgery, the gastric bypass, are evaluated while simultaneously measuring molecular and metabolic changes that occur in response to these weight loss procedures. Through creating variable lengths of bypass intestine after gastric bypass, the investigators will be able to determine the effect of malabsorption on clinical outcomes and mechanisms involved in weight loss after gastric bypass. The investigators will also use two control groups. One will be a surgical weight loss control group and consist of patients undergoing a laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy, a non-intestinal bypass procedure. The other group will consist of patients having non-surgical weight loss therapy. To asses metabolic changes that occur in response to surgical weight therapy and specifically intestinal bypass and malabsorption, the investigators will examine changes in the gut microbiome and plasma gut enteroendocrine hormones. To evaluate molecular pathways that are impacted as a result of gastric bypass and malabsorption, the investigators will measure circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) in the blood. Measurement of miRNAs will provide data on an easily measurable molecular marker for each treatment group. This is a first step in translational exploration of mechanisms of weight loss after surgery by evaluating both clinical and molecular/metabolic outcomes and begin an explorative process towards creating an individualized approach to improving outcomes after weight loss surgery.

Spiced Yogurt for Metabolic Health

Tuscaloosa, Alabama
Among food products receiving attention for prebiotic functionality, spices represent a flavorful vehicle for cultivating a healthy gut microbiota. As the required doses of spice-derived polyphenols to elicit prebiotic and systemic metabolic effects are not well-characterized, additional research is warranted. Thus, the investigators propose to use a food-first synbiotic (prebiotic + probiotic) approach to examine alterations in the gut microbiota pre- and post-intervention/placebo and their relationship with systemic cardiometabolic effects mediated by short chain fatty acids (SCFA) and gut-derived metabolites.

MitoQ for Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms

Farmington, Connecticut
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effect of a supplement called MitoQ (mitoquinol mesylate) on bladder symptoms such as urgency and frequency in women 50 years and older who have the metabolic syndrome. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is the study design feasible and acceptable to participants? * Do participants taking the study drug get any improvement to their bladder symptoms compared to participants taking a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no drug)? Participants will take 2 capsules of the study drug every morning for 4 months, answer many questions about their health including questions about their bladder health, perform physical and cognitive testing, give blood and urine samples, collect urine over 24 hour periods 3 times over the 4 months of the study, complete 3 day bladder diaries about how much they drink and void, undergo electrocardiograms, have their vitals and measurements (weight, height, waist circumference) taken, participate in 4 visits to the clinical research area and participate in many phone calls of varying length. Researchers will compare participants who were taking capsules containing MitoQ and participants taking capsules not containing MitoQ to see if MitoQ improves their bladder symptoms (urgency, frequency, nocturia, incontinence, etc.)

SADI-S vs. BPD-DS Surgery for Obesity

Montreal, Quebec
The prevalence of morbid obesity in Canada has risen almost 5 fold in the past three decades. Surgery remains the cornerstone of treatment of obesity and related comorbidities such as type-2 diabetes. Bariatric/metabolic procedures can be classified into 2 main categories: a) those that cause restriction, and b) those that add a malabsorptive component to restriction. Currently sleeve gastrectomy (SG), which is a purely restrictive operation, is the most frequently performed procedure in North America. Interestingly, combined restrictive/malabsorptive procedures such as Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) or biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD-DS) are more effective procedures when compared to purely restrictive ones. Moreover, the conventional BPD-DS procedure has been shown to be significantly more effective than RYGB in achieving durable weight loss and resolving comorbidities such as type-2 diabetes. Despite superior outcomes, the performance of BPD-DS is highly institution dependant and comprises less than 5% of the annual bariatric procedures performed worldwide. Common reservations against BPD-DS are related to the side effects of the procedure, and include frequent bowel movements, flatulence, fat, micronutrient and protein malnutrition. Furthermore, longer operative times and surgical technical challenges are also reasons for lower prevalence of the BPD-DS procedure. Single anastomosis duodeno-ileal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy (SADI-S) is a modification of the conventional BPD-DS that potentially addresses many of these concerns. In addition, it is a suitable second-stage or salvage procedure for severely obese patients with inadequate weight loss or resolution of obesity-related comorbidities after SG. Despite showing excellent results of up to 5 years with acceptable postoperative morbidity, all the literature on SADI-S originates from a single center and has not been compared directly with BPD-DS. Hence, the investigators aim to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and postoperative outcomes of SADI-S as it compares to conventional BPD-DS in morbidly obese patients. This project has three specific aims: 1. To evaluate feasibility and short-term safety of SADI-S. 2. To evaluate short and long-term beneficial outcomes. 3. To evaluate and compare long-term morbidity.

Dietary Intervention for Metabolic Diseases

Boston, Massachusetts
Dietary intake is a major driving force behind the escalating obesity and type 2 diabetes epidemics. Large, high-quality clinical trials have shown that close adherence to healthy dietary recommendations significantly reduce the incidence of obesity and type 2 diabetes, especially among people at increased risk. However, large inter-individual variability exists in response to dietary interventions. To inform more effective obesity and type 2 diabetes prevention strategies, it is crucial to better understand the biological, environmental, and social factors that influence how people interact and respond to specific foods. In a recent large-scale genome-wide association study, our research team has identified 96 genomic regions associated with overall variation in dietary intake. This study provided evidence that inherited molecular differences are likely to impact on food intake (i.e., preference for certain foods) and metabolic homeostasis (i.e., glucose regulation). Connecting knowledge about human genetic variants with information from circulating metabolites can be particularly useful in understanding the mechanisms by which some people experience a detrimental response to specific foods. The specific objective of the PREMIER study is to carry out an interventional dietary study to measure the response of blood glucose and other biomarkers to a standardized meal, and evaluate the extent to which food choices differ among individuals with distinct genetic susceptibility.

Lifestyle Program for Type 2 Diabetes

Springdale, Arkansas
Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders (NHPIs) are defined as the descendants of the original peoples of Polynesia (e.g., Hawai'i, Sāmoa, and Tonga), Melanesia (e.g., Fiji), and Micronesia (e.g., Guam, Chuuk, and Marshall Islands). Their history with the U.S. parallels that of American Indians and Alaska Natives. Before Western contact, NHPIs had thriving societies with rich cultural traditions. After contact, NHPI communities were decimated to near extinction by infectious diseases, exploited for their cultural and natural resources, displaced from their ancestral lands, forced to assimilate to Western ways, and marginalized through legislative acts and compulsory assimilation policies (i.e., banning native language). The consequences have been high rates of cardiometabolic medical conditions, such as obesity, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. These medical conditions are, in part, a result of cultural disruptions and displacement that altered the traditional practices of NHPI and led to poor social determinants of health (SDOH). The basic premise of our project is that Community Health Workers (CHWs) can accelerate health equity for NHPI communities by disseminating and implementing culturally responsive, evidence-based interventions to prevent cardiometabolic medical conditions and improve their SDOH. The purpose of this project is to test the potential efficacy of the PILI Lifestyle Program (PLP) with integrated social determinants of health (SDOH) components and have it delivered by NHPI Community Health Workers (CHWs) to NHPIs with cardiometabolic-related conditions in a two-arm pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) using a waitlist control. The investigators will evaluate the efficacy of the PLP+SDOH in improving the primary outcomes of hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), systolic blood pressure, cholesterol, and weight in 180 adult NHPIs with pre-diabetes/type 2 diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and/or overweight/obesity.

High-Protein, Low-Glycemic Diet for Metabolic Syndrome

Fayetteville, Arkansas
The prevalence of US adults with Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) is over 34%, impacting nearly 35% of all adults and 50% of those aged 60 years or older. MetS is characterized as a combination of underlying risk factors that when, occurring together, increase the risk for chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), cardiovascular disease, stroke, and certain types of cancer, resulting in an 1.6-fold increase in mortality. According the American Heart Association, health risks associated with Metabolic Syndrome can be significantly reduced by reducing body weight and eating a diet that is rich in whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. Potatoes (e.g. skin-on white potatoes) are an excellent source of potassium, vitamin C, and vitamin B6 and a good source of magnesium and dietary fiber. In addition, the potato has greater dry matter and protein per unit growing area compared with cereals. Despite this, consumers tend to believe that potatoes are high in calories and in fat compared with other carbohydrate sources such as rice or pasta, an incorrect assumption since a potato has negligible fat and a low energy density similar to legumes. Data from short-term nutrition intervention trials, suggest that potatoes consumed as part of a low-glycemic load meal can play a role in the prevention or treatment of MetS. However, the impact of long-term potato consumption on cardiometabolic risk factors associated with MetS is not known. Therefore, there is a critical need to determine if regular (\> 4 times per week) potato consumption can improve cardiometabolic health in individuals with MetS.

Non-nutritive Sweeteners for Metabolic Syndrome

Québec
Increasing evidence suggest that artificial sweeteners such as saccharin, aspartame and sucralose may not be as metabolically safe as they first appeared, and it has been proposed that their consumption may be linked to important disturbances in the gut microbiome. Some in vitro and in vivo studies suggest that the recently approved sugar substitute Stevia (eg. steviol glycosides) can also influence intestinal homeostasis. However, it is not clear whether this natural non-nutritive sweetener (NNS) could also cause metabolic and microbiome disturbances as proposed for their synthetic counterparts. In fact, steviol glycosides may even have a beneficial impact on glucose homeostasis and lipid metabolism possibly through a positive action on intestinal health and gut microbiome, but this has yet to be experimentally tested in a rigorous study. The main objective of this project is to evaluate whether steviol glycosides sweetened beverages (SGSB) or aspartame/acesulfame K sweetened beverages (AASB) exert beneficial, neutral or detrimental effects on metabolic health of regular consumers of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs), and whether modulation of the gut microbiome is involved in the resulting impact of these NNSs on metabolic health. As chronic overconsumption of SSBs is clearly associated with an increased cardiometabolic risk, this study will be the first to determine the metabolic impact of replacing SSBs by potentially "healthier alternatives" such as the increasingly popular stevia-based soft drinks and aspartame-based soft drinks. The investigators will further investigate whether these NNS can cause pernicious effects on intestinal health and the gut microbiome. It is a crucial concern since the importance of this unsuspected key "organ" has been ignored for too long and its important implication in many chronic societal diseases has just been discovered. Results of this study could have a direct influence on health, nutrition and even agricultural policies as well as dietary guidelines around the world. This project is also critically important as an increasing amount of health professionals such as physicians, nurses and registered dietitians seek to provide evidenced-based guidance to individuals looking for healthier alternatives to SSBs including stevia-based or aspartame-based soft drinks.

Raspberry Supplement for Metabolic Syndrome

Québec
There is growing evidence that nutritional intervention with dietary polyphenols can positively modulate the gut microbiota to improve cardiometabolic health. Whether the beneficial effects of raspberry on obesity and the metabolic syndrome can be linked to their potential impact on the gut microbiota and intestinal integrity remains speculative at this time. Moreover, the mechanisms of action underlying health benefits associated to raspberry consumption are still unknown. The investigators are thus proposing to combine the study of metagenomics, transcriptomics and metabolomics to test whether a prebiotic activity of raspberry can play a role in the prevention of obesity-linked metabolic syndrome in a clinical setting.

Overfeeding Effects on Obesity

Baton Rouge, Louisiana
Adipose, or fat, tissue is a plastic organ that retains the ability to expand and store excess calories during positive energy balance in humans. The capacity of subcutaneous (subQ) adipose tissue to expand and remodel is an important determinant of obesity-related health complications, and impaired expansion of subQ fat tissue is thought to contribute to the risk of diseases such as the Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D). The objectives of the study are to evaluate the changes and mechanisms of (subQ) adipose tissue expandability that occur as a result of short-term weight gain and to investigate the effects on cardio-metabolic health outcomes. Findings from this study will provide new insight into the dynamics of adipose expansion and remodeling during changes in energy balance and how this may impact future fat tissue function and metabolic health.

Mobile App for Diabetes Prevention

Houston, Texas
Hispanic adolescents in the U.S. are disproportionately burdened by type 2 diabetes (T2D) compared to non-Hispanic white youth (0.079% vs. 0.017%) contributing to higher rates of T2D-related vascular complications, cardiovascular disease, and mortality, among this population. Disparities in T2D are driven in part by independent, modifiable risk factors including low levels of physical activity, sleep, and poor diet. Lifestyle interventions are the cornerstone for maintaining glucose control and managing T2D. However, few studies have developed and tested lifestyle interventions for Hispanic youth with T2D. Digital health interventions that promote healthy lifestyle behaviors like physical activity, sleep, and diet, have demonstrated effectiveness among adults. Studies that use health-based smartphone applications have demonstrated preliminary efficacy for improving health-related lifestyle behaviors as these digital tools leverage behavior change techniques (e.g. self-monitoring, goal-setting, feedback) that have proven effective. Use of digital technology allows for the continuous delivery of intervention content into the home environment extending the reach of clinical care while engaging youth in a format that is age-appropriate given that today's youth are digital frontrunners. Unfortunately, while the use of digital health interventions have increased, few studies have focused on adolescents with overweight and obesity who are at high risk for T2D. The purpose of this study is to 1) develop a mobile health platform for remote and continuous monitoring of activity, sleep, and nutrition and 2) conduct a pilot study (30 days) to evaluate the efficacy of a novel digital health platform in improving obesity-related health outcomes outcomes in Hispanic adolescents (12-18 years; N=30) population.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Metabolic Syndrome 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 Metabolic Syndrome 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 Metabolic Syndrome 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 Metabolic Syndrome 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 Metabolic Syndrome 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 Metabolic Syndrome clinical trials?

Most recently, we added Lactate and Ischemic Preconditioning for Vascular Injury, Mindfulness Therapy for Insomnia and Nutritional Supplement for COVID-19 Vaccine Side Effects to the Power online platform.
