AR Formula vs Omeprazole for Infant Acid Reflux

Columbus, Ohio
The goal of this investigator-initiated, single-center, randomized controlled trial (RCT) is to compare the effects of four weeks of three therapies on clinical and mechanistic outcomes based on pH-Imp testing using a three-arm parallel design in NICU infants with objective GERD diagnosis. The three therapies being compared are natural maturation, proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use, and added rice (AR) formula use. The main goals are: * to evaluate and compare the efficacy of the three commonly used treatment interventions used in the NICU for GERD in a randomized controlled manner with the primary endpoint of oral feeding success and absence of troublesome symptoms (as defined below). * to characterize the mechanisms of primary end point (success or failure) using pH-Impedance metrics.

EsoGuard + EsoCheck for Barrett's Esophagus

Cleveland, Ohio
The goal of this clinical trial is to develop a method to detect Barrett's esophagus in individuals with a new office based diagnostic test.

Fosamprenavir + Sodium Alginate for GERD

Milwaukee, Wisconsin
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if study drug Fosamprenavir-Sodium Alginate (FOS-SA) administered orally improves symptoms for Proton Pump Inhibitor (PPI)-refractory Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease (GERD). The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does FOS-SA significantly improve heartburn severity over the 8-week treatment period 2. Does FOS-SA significantly improve regurgitation frequency over the 8-week treatment period 3. Does FOS-SA significantly improve symptoms of persistent GERD over the 8-week treatment period Researchers will compare FOS-SA to a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no active drug) to see if FOS-SA works to treat PPI-refractory GERD. Participants will: 1. Take FOS-SA or placebo every day BID (twice a day) for 8 weeks 2. Visit the Adult Translational Research Unit (ATRU) seven times for consenting, screening, and checkups and tests 3. Keep a daily diary of their symptoms of persistent GERD

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 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."

BR-AC for Venous Leg Ulcers

Chapel Hill, North Carolina
This study examines a patient population with a non-healing, non-infected venous leg ulcer (VLU) having adequate arterial perfusion with confirmed venous reflux. It is hypothesized that weekly applications of the human placental allograft BioREtain® Amnion Chorion (BR-AC) applied to a non-healing VLU will result in a higher proportion of wounds showing complete healing within 12 weeks of initiating therapy, compared to standard care alone. This study has a crossover period, where subjects on standard care alone who do not achieve complete healing within 12 weeks of initiating therapy will be allowed to crossover to receive BR-AC over 12 additional weeks, to evaluate if their wound can achieve complete healing.

Cricoid Pressure for Acid Reflux

Milwaukee, Wisconsin
After defining the manometric characteristics of UES incompetence associated with documented pharyngeal reflux, we will determine the reproducibility of manometric criteria for UES incompetence in prevention of pharyngeal reflux. We hypothesize that these criteria are comprised of either a single or constellation of manometric abnormalities. After determining the ability of externally applied cricoid cartilage pressure in preventing pharyngeal reflux, we further hypothesize that this approach will eliminate or reduce esophago-pharyngeal reflux by enhancing the UES pressure barrier. We anticipate there will be a close spatial correlation between the site of applied pressure and area of increased pressure within UES high pressure zone. Lastly, we will determine and characterize the effect of externally applied cricoid cartilage pressure on related functions such as belch and swallow, testing the hypothesis that these functions will not be impaired.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Reflux 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 Reflux 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 Reflux 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 Reflux 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 Reflux 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 Reflux clinical trials?

Most recently, we added Lexiva for Laryngopharyngeal Reflux, Fosamprenavir + Sodium Alginate for GERD and Gut-Directed Hypnotherapy for Gastrointestinal Disorders to the Power online platform.
