Palovarotene for Liver Disease
Asheville, North Carolina
The main aim of this study is to understand how moderate and severe liver impairment (based on the Child-Pugh classification) affects the body's processing of a single dose of 10 mg maximum of palovarotene, compared to healthy participants with normal liver function.
The study will also assess the safety and tolerability of the single dose of palovarotene.
Participants will be enrolled in stages and divided into three groups based on their liver function:
* Group 1: Healthy participants with normal liver function
* Group 2: Participants with moderate liver impairment
* Group 3: Participants with severe liver impairment (only enrolled if Group 2 results are safe and acceptable)
Blood samples will be taken to assess how the drug binds to proteins in the blood. Participants will undergo various safety checks and procedures. Participants will stay in the clinical unit until Day 5 for these assessments and will return on Day 10 for a final visit.

Financial Navigation Program for Cancer
Kingsport, Tennessee
This clinical trial examines a financial navigation program in helping patients (and their spouses or partner caregivers, if participating) understand and better manage the financial aspects of cancer care. Cancer patients and their spouse/partner caregivers may be at high risk for financial problems because of the cost of cancer treatment. A financial navigator is a person or team who works with patients and their families to help them reduce stress or hardship related to the cost of cancer treatment. Financial navigators help patients understand their out-of-pocket expenses and what their health insurance plans may cover. Financial navigation may also help patients set up payment plans, find cost-saving methods for treatments, and improve access to healthcare services that the patient needs. Providing financial navigation to patients may help reduce financial worries and improve quality of life.

Intervention Strategies for HIV Prevention
Manchester, Kentucky
During this 5-year study, stepped-care adaptive interventions will be deployed in three rural syringe service programs in a Sequential Multiple Assignment Randomized Trial (SMART) design to test the optimal intervention pathways for HIV PrEP uptake, defined as PrEP initiation (measured by dispensed prescription for oral PrEP) and persistence in PrEP care (measured by refill verification and biomarker confirmation). The study will be accomplished through three Specific Aims. AIM 1: Compare the relative effectiveness of adaptive interventions (AIs) that begin with Peer-led SBCM-PrEP versus those that begin with CDC-PrEP education plus text messaging (TM) on patient-level PrEP care outcomes (initiation and persistence) at 1-, 3- and 6-months; AIM 2: Estimate and rank the effectiveness of four embedded AIs on PrEP care outcomes at 3- and 6-months: (1) CDC-PrEP education, continue TM for responders, add Mobile Outreach for non-responders (NR); (2) CDC-PrEP education, continue TM for responders, add Peer transitional SBCM for NR; (3) Peer-led SBCM-PrEP, continue TM for responders, add Mobile Outreach for NR; (4) Peer-led SBCM-PrEP, continue TM for responders, add Peer transitional SBCM for NR. AIM 3: Across interventions, examine the effects of age, baseline injection frequency, perceived HIV risk, PrEP interest, SSP utilization patterns, and other factors, in predicting PrEP care outcomes at 1-, 3- and 6-months to inform optimally-tailored intervention strategy recommendations.

Water Filter Pitchers for Waterborne Diseases
Johnson City, Tennessee
Consumption of unsafe drinking water is associated with a substantial burden of disease globally. In the USA, the burden of disease associated with consumption of contaminated drinking water from non-regulated private wells and springs in rural areas is relatively understudied and unclear. For some lower-income households in rural areas of the USA without access to reliably safe drinking water, point-of-use treatment with relatively low-cost pitcher filters could help to reduce exposures to contaminated water and associated adverse health outcomes. This pilot randomized controlled intervention trial will provide information and data on water quality and contamination exposures, associated health outcomes, and the adoption potential of point-of-use water filters in rural areas of Virginia and Tennessee.

Veliparib + Chemoradiation for Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Hendersonville, North Carolina
This phase I/II partially randomized trial studies the side effects and best dose of veliparib when given together with radiation therapy, carboplatin, and paclitaxel and to see how well it works in treating patients with stage III non-small cell lung cancer that cannot be removed by surgery. Veliparib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin and paclitaxel, 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. It is not yet known whether radiation therapy, carboplatin, and paclitaxel are more effective with or without veliparib in treating non-small cell lung cancer.

Vorinostat + Rituximab + Chemotherapy for Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma
Hendersonville, North Carolina
This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of vorinostat when given together with rituximab and combination chemotherapy and to see how well it works in treating patients with newly diagnosed stage II, stage III, or stage IV diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Vorinostat may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the cancer. Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, can block cancer cell growth in different ways. Some block the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Others find cancer cells and help kill them or carry cell-killing substances to them. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin hydrochloride, vincristine sulfate, and prednisone, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving vorinostat together with rituximab and combination chemotherapy may kill more cancer cells.

End-of-Life Conversation Tools for Advance Care Planning
Ellijay, Georgia
Compared to the general population, individuals from underserved communities are more likely to receive low quality end-of-life care and unwanted, costly and burdensome treatments due in part to a lack of advance care planning (ACP; the process of discussing wishes for end-of-life care with loved ones/clinicians and documenting them in advance directives).
This study will use existing, trusted, and respected social networks to evaluate two conversation-based tools intended to engage underserved individuals in discussions about end-of-life issue and motivate them to carry out ACP behaviors.
Through this study, investigators will learn how best to engage underserved populations in ACP so as to: 1) increase the likelihood that patients from underserved communities will receive high-quality end-of-life care; 2) address health disparities related to end-of-life treatments; and 3) reduce unnecessary suffering for patients and their families.

Cognitive Training for Alzheimer's Disease
Seneca, South Carolina
Dementia is the most expensive medical condition in the US and increases in prevalence with age. More than 5 million Americans have Alzheimer's disease, the most common form of dementia. Mild cognitive impairment is a transitional stage between normal cognitive aging and Alzheimer's disease or another type of dementia, and is indicative of higher risk for dementia. In addition to the obvious health and quality-of-life ramifications of dementia, there are high direct (e.g., subsidizing residential care needs) and indirect (e.g., lost productivity of family caregivers) economic costs. Implementing interventions to prevent MCI and dementia among older adults is of critical importance to health and maintained quality-of-life for millions of Americans. Recent data analyses from the Advanced Cognitive Training in Vital Elderly study (ACTIVE) indicate that a specific cognitive intervention, speed of processing training (SPT), significantly delays the incidence of cognitive impairment across 10 years. The primary contribution of the proposed research will be the determination of whether this cognitive training technique successfully delays the onset of clinically defined MCI or dementia across three years.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do clinical trials in Knoxville, TN 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 Knoxville, TN 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 Knoxville, TN 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 Knoxville, TN 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 Knoxville, TN 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 Knoxville, TN?
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 Knoxville, TN?
Most recently, we added MDMA for Liver Disease, Signing Instruction for Language Development and E-Cigarettes or Medication for Tobacco Use to the Power online platform.
