The goal of this study is to assess the impact of Layer Origin's SuperHMO prebiotic formulation on the healthy adult gut microbiome. Over the course of 30 days, intervention participants will take SuperHMO prebiotic formulation daily. Control participants will take a placebo daily. We will measure all participants\' gut microbiome using a gut health test before taking SuperHMO prebiotic or placebo and after 30 days of taking the supplement. We hypothesize that taking the SuperHMO prebiotic will improve gut health measurements such as the potential to produce short-chain fatty acids.

Patient navigation is an evidence-based strategy to increase screening rates among racial and ethnic minorities, but there is a gap in understanding the multi-level influences on implementation of such programs across primary care practices. The investigators will conduct a stepped-wedge, randomized trial to roll out patient navigation and patient and provider reminders across 15 clinics (3 clinics per step, 5 six-month steps). Implementation strategies will include assessing for readiness, audit and feedback, building a community coalition, engaging consumers, modifying referral tracking, and training and educating clinical stakeholders. The research team will use the electronic health record data with consideration for the Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership (OMOP) Common Data Model, additional patient-reported data, and study tracking logs to measure reach, effectiveness, adoption, implementation, and will use qualitative measures and site observations to document contextual factors, including examination of discrimination in patient experiences and provider referral patterns that may influence intervention delivery or colorectal cancer screening completion.

BACKGROUND: The Defense Health Agency (DHA) and the Office of Military Community and Family Policy (MC\&FP) requested assistance in evaluating the effectiveness of a military pilot implementation of a civilian program designed to assist families with infants called HealthySteps (HS; HealthySteps National Office, 2018). HS is a unique pediatric primary care-based program that helps families identify and manage parenting challenges. The program interweaves the medical support of the pediatrician's office with the resources and services of a HS Specialist trained to help parents understand their infants' needs (e.g., feeding, behavior, sleep) and their role as caregivers. HS Specialists provide enhanced educational support and facilitate targeted referrals to other relevant DoD and civilian support resources. OBJECTIVE: The HS program has not been widely implemented or evaluated previously in a military context. However, a small 2-site pilot was initiated in 2017 by MC\&FP to assess the feasibility of offering the HS program in military treatment facilities (MTF). The Defense Health Agency (DHA) further determined that this pilot program could be expanded to fulfill a 2019 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) requirement for the implementation and evaluation of a pilot program to reduce risk factors for child abuse and neglect within the U.S. military community. APPROACH: This outcome evaluation study entailed a review of medical records for families enrolled in the HS pilot as well as the collection of prospective survey data. Survey data collected from primary caregivers enrolled in HS at seven implementation locations throughout the U.S. is being compared with survey data collected from caregivers of newborns seeking care at control locations offering pediatric treatment as usual. VALUE: The HS program is expected to improve parental engagement in well-baby care, increase targeted screenings and referrals, improve parental efficacy and knowledge, as well as facilitate integration and utilization of existing family services available across disparate military support settings. It also is expected to increase military service satisfaction and perceived support among military parents. Summary reports of study results will be provided to MC\&FP, DHA, and Congress. RESEARCH COLLABORATORS: NHRC is a Department of the Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery research command located in San Diego, California. Abt Global is a leading civilian professional research corporation with extensive experience in military health research. Investigators from these two institutions are collaborating to conduct this outcome evaluation. STUDY POPULATION: Participating pilot program clinics included 7 military pediatric clinic locations selected by DHA and serving personnel and their families from all U.S. military service branches. All families with children aged 0-4 months seeking well-baby care at participating MTF pilot pediatric clinics were eligible for HS program services and for study recruitment. Additionally, beneficiaries similarly seeking care for a newborn at 11 MTF pediatric clinics providing treatment as usual were eligible for the comparison condition. Medical records for this population were reviewed and prospective survey evaluation data were collected and merged together for ongoing analysis and reporting.

This phase III trial compares the effect of active symptom monitoring and patient education to patient education alone in helping young women with stage I-III breast cancer stay on their hormone therapy medicines. The patient education tool contains interactive weblinks which provide patients with education material about breast cancer and side effects of therapy. Symptom monitoring is a weblink via email or text message with questions asking about symptoms. Hormone therapy for breast cancer can cause side effects, and may cause some women to stop treatment early. Asking about symptoms more often may help women keep taking hormone therapy medicines.

This phase III trial studies how well combination chemotherapy, bevacizumab, and/or atezolizumab work in treating patients with deficient deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) mismatch repair colorectal cancer that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). Chemotherapy drugs, such as fluorouracil, oxaliplatin, and leucovorin calcium, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Bevacizumab may stop or slow colorectal cancer by blocking the growth of new blood vessels necessary for tumor growth. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as atezolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving combination chemotherapy, bevacizumab, and atezolizumab may work better in treating patients with colorectal cancer.

RATIONALE: Estrogen can stimulate the growth of breast tumor cells. Ovarian function suppression combined with hormone therapy using tamoxifen or exemestane may fight breast cancer by reducing the production of estrogen. It is not yet known whether suppression of ovarian function plus either tamoxifen or exemestane is more effective than tamoxifen alone in preventing the recurrence of hormone-responsive breast cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial studies ovarian suppression with either tamoxifen or exemestane to see how well they work compared to tamoxifen alone in treating premenopausal women who have undergone surgery for hormone-responsive breast cancer.

Healthy Volunteer PatientAge: 38

"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."

This randomized phase III trial studies chemotherapy and bevacizumab to see how well they work compared to chemotherapy alone in treating patients with stage IB, stage II, or stage IIIA non-small cell lung cancer that was removed by surgery. Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Bevacizumab also may stop the growth of non-small cell lung cancer by blocking the growth of new blood vessels necessary for tumor growth. It is not yet known whether chemotherapy is more effective with or without bevacizumab in treating non-small cell lung cancer.

The Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) was a multi-center trial examining the ability of an intensive lifestyle or metformin to prevent or delay the development of diabetes in a high risk population due to the presence of impaired glucose tolerance (IGT, 2 hour glucose of 140-199 mg/dl). The DPP has ended early demonstrating that lifestyle reduced diabetes onset by 58% and metformin reduced diabetes onset by 31%. DPPOS (2002-2013) is designed to take advantage of the scientifically and clinically valuable DPP participants. This group of participants is nearly 50% minority and represents the largest at risk population ever studied. Clinically important research questions remain that focus on 1) durability of the prior DPP intervention, 2) determination of the clinical course of precisely known new onset diabetes, in particular regarding microvascular disease, CVD risk factors and atherosclerosis, 3) close examination of these topics in men vs women and in minority populations. The major aims of DPPOS-3 (2014-2025) take advantage of the long-term randomized exposure of the study cohort to metformin and the aging of the DPPOS cohort. The metformin exposure and high degree of study retention and adherence (\~85% of the DPPOS cohort continues to attend annual and mid-year visits) allows DPPOS-3 to examine the long-term effects of metformin on cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cancer outcomes, outcomes of great clinical interest and import.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do clinical trials in Gaithersburg, MD 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 clinical trials in Gaithersburg, MD 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 trials in Gaithersburg, MD 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 in Gaithersburg, MD 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 in Gaithersburg, MD 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 medical study in Gaithersburg, MD?

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 clinical trials in Gaithersburg, MD?

Most recently, we added KarXT + KarX-EC for Alzheimer's Disease, Alectinib Pharmacogenomics for Lung Cancer and StroMel for Osteoarthritis to the Power online platform.

What do the "Power Preferred" and "SuperSite" badges mean?

We recognize research clinics with these awards when they are especially responsive to patients who apply through the Power online platform. SuperSite clinics are research sites recognized for a high standard of rapid and thorough follow-up with patient applicants. Meanwhile, Power Preferred clinics are the top 20 across the entire Power platform, recognized for their absolute top patient experience.

Which clinics have received Power Preferred and SuperSite awards in Gaithersburg, MD?
