The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether metabolic modulation with a combined nutraceutical product can improve symptoms and metabolic health in adults diagnosed with post-acute Covid-19 vaccination syndrome (PACVS), a condition characterized by persistent fatigue and exercise intolerance attributed to Covid-19 vaccination and confirmed by laboratory testing. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the combined nutraceutical intervention improve quality of life (measured by the PAC-19QoL questionnaire) in PACVS patients? Does the intervention improve metabolic, inflammatory, and functional biomarkers (e.g., HbA1c, blood lactate, CRP, spike protein levels, heart rate variability, 6-minute walk distance)? Researchers will compare the intervention group (receiving the ViTAL SCAN nutraceutical) to a placebo group (receiving rice protein powder with vitamin C) to determine if the intervention leads to greater improvements in symptoms and biomarker profiles. Participants will: Take the assigned supplement daily for 3 months (ViTAL SCAN or placebo) Attend clinic visits for blood and urine sampling, physical performance tests (6-minute walk test), and heart rate monitoring Complete quality of life and health behavior questionnaires Undergo measurements of metabolic and inflammatory markers (HbA1c, lactate, CRP, spike protein) Record supplement intake This study is currently pending IRB approval and aims to enroll 100 adults with PACVS for a randomized, placebo-controlled trial.

Hardening of the blood vessels, called arterial stiffness, is a risk factor for future heart disease and its causes are unclear. The proposed study will 1) randomly assign adolescents at high risk of stiffening blood vessels to take a protein supplement called carnitine and study its effects on arterial stiffening and 2) study carnitine related genes for their effect on arterial stiffening. The study will definitively establish a role for carnitine action as a cause of stiffening blood vessels and signal a way to treat or prevent stiffening.

This phase II trial studies how well an exercise program and continuous Fitbit monitoring work for managing metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease risk in patients with prostate cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic) or has come back (recurrent) and does not response to treatment (refractory) and are receiving androgen deprivation therapy. Balancing treatment efficacy, drug side effects, and competing comorbidities with prostate cancer is essential. This trial is being done to learn if an exercise program can help to improve metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular (heart) fitness in prostate cancer patients who are receiving androgen deprivation therapy.

The objective of this clinical trial is to better understand how lactate, a naturally occurring energy substance, can be used to lessen damage to the vascular system in adults with a high cardiovascular disease risk. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does giving lactate intravenously reduce injury to the vascular system? 2. Does giving lactate intravenously together with blood flow occlusion - known as ischemic preconditioning, reduce vascular injury better than blood flow occlusion by itself? 3. How does lactate help the vascular system? Researchers will compare lactate to a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no lactate) to see if lactate works to lessen vascular injury. Researchers will also compare lactate to blood flow occlusion to see which one is better at preventing vascular injury. Researchers will also compare lactate and blood flow occlusion together to see if combining them works better than either one alone. In one visit to the laboratory, participants will: Obtain a measurement of vascular health in an arm Be given liquid lactate, a liquid placebo, and/or arm blood flow occlusion Obtain a second measurement of vascular health in an arm.

The overall goal is to examine the efficacy of a circadian intervention in people with overweight and obesity and habitual short sleep duration (HSSD). Participants will undergo a randomized controlled trial, with circadian intervention and control (healthy lifestyle) groups. The circadian intervention is designed to reduce nighttime light exposure and after-dinner snack food intake. Alternatively, the control group will receive basic health information (e.g., physical activity, goal setting, and nutrition when eating out).

Medications used after transplant to prevent rejection are associated with many side effects. Tacrolimus side effects include kidney dysfunction; tremor, headaches, difficulty sleeping, change in sensation (legs), seizure, or confusion; high blood pressure; anemia, or low blood cell counts; diabetes; abnormal cholesterol and weight gain. The investigators want to use a new, approved, formulation of the standard medication (Envarsus) as they believe it may be associated with reduced side effects. The investigators would like to assess how safe it is to use this medication and how well it works in comparison to currently used formulations. The investigators will study if there are less side effects and will study clinical outcomes (including how well the liver does and if there is need for hospitalizations after transplant). The investigators hope that this information will improve the care provided to and outcomes in patients following liver transplant.

Drug-drug interactions often limit statin optimization in a population of patients prescribed cytochrome P3A4 inhibitors, which include immunosuppressive agents, protease inhibitors, and antifungals. These patients frequently have autoimmune conditions or rheumatologic disorders that require complex drug regimens and are often on low-dose statin therapy or no statin at all, resulting in suboptimal LDL levels despite increased cardiovascular (CV) risk. There is an unmet clinical need to improve LDL levels in this vulnerable patient population, which faces increased CV risk due to underlying conditions that also contribute to polypharmacy and multiple drug-drug interactions. This study is a randomized, open-label trial evaluating subcutaneous inclisiran plus standard of care for LDL-C lowering in high-risk primary prevention patients with multiple comorbidities (e.g., Type II diabetes, liver disease, chronic kidney disease, autoimmune disease, solid-organ transplant) who are taking five or more medications in which drug-drug interactions prevent optimization of statin therapy.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a highly prevalent disorder that is associated with both cardiovascular and metabolic dysfunction, such as hypertension, increased blood glucose levels and diabetes, obesity, and nonalcoholic fatty liver. While continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP), the best available OSA treatment, has been shown to improve blood pressure in OSA, it does not appear to improve metabolic consequences of OSA, and other therapies for OSA-induced dysmetabolism are needed. Animal models of time restricted eating (TRE) demonstrate an improvement in glucose and lipid metabolism, even in the absence of a reduction of caloric intake. Some human studies have shown an improvement in metabolic dysfunction with TRE, though further well-designed studies are needed. The effects of TRE on metabolic dysfunction in patients with OSA, a population with a high predisposition to metabolic disorder, has never been examined. In this study, we will conduct a randomized clinical trial to assess the feasibility and efficacy of 12 weeks of TRE, versus standard eating (SE), to improve glucose regulation and cardiovascular health of participants with OSA.

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, Insulin Management for Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and Mindfulness Therapy for Insomnia to the Power online platform.
