"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."

"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."

I am an otherwise healthy 48 year old married father of 3 living. My youngest daughter is 12 and has never heard my real voice. I am now having breathing issues related to the paralysis as well as trouble swallowing some liquids. In my research I have seen some recent trials focused on helping people like me."

The goal of this clinical trial is to find out how well linaprazan glurate can heal erosive esophagitis (EE) caused by gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), compared to lansoprazole, a commonly used medication. Researchers will also evaluate whether linaprazan glurate: * Reduces heartburn symptoms more effectively than lansoprazole * Is safe and well tolerated, based on physical exams, blood tests, and vital signs (heart rate, blood pressure, temperature, and breathing rate) * Causes any side effects during treatment * Has different effects depending on how much of the drug is in the blood * Works differently depending on participants' genes Participants must be between 18 to 80 years old and have EE due to GERD confirmed by an endoscopy. Participants cannot join if they have an active Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection or were treated for HP in the past 6 weeks or have taken antibiotics or bismuth-containing drugs in the past 6 weeks. The study is a randomized, double-blind, active comparator-controlled trial lasting up to 4 months. Randomized means that participants are assigned by chance (like flipping a coin) to one of the treatment groups and double-blind means neither the participants nor the study team will know which treatment is given. Participants will be placed into one of three groups (about 167 people in each group): * Linaprazan glurate 50 mg twice a day * Linaprazan glurate 50 mg once a day * Lansoprazole 30 mg once a day Everyone will take 2 tablets and 1 capsule by mouth daily for 8 weeks. Some tablets or capsules will be placebos (look like medicine but contain no active drug). Participants will: * Undergo an endoscopy in the beginning and after 4 weeks of treatment * If healing is not observed, another endoscopy may be done at 8 weeks * During the procedure, doctors will use a thin, flexible tube with a camera to look at the esophagus and take small tissue samples (biopsies) * Have blood and urine tests at clinic visits to check overall health * Receive electrocardiograms (ECGs) to monitor heart function * Complete daily questionnaires on an electronic device about symptoms and experiences

Researchers are looking for a better way to treat women with nonatypical endometrial hyperplasia (NAEH). Endometrial hyperplasia is a condition where the lining of the uterus (called the endometrium) becomes too thick. Nonatypical means that the condition is not cancerous. It is often caused by hormone imbalances in women. Symptoms can include abnormal vaginal bleeding or irregular periods. If this condition is not treated, then it may lead to cancer. Currently, there are no approved treatments for NAEH and that is why there is still an unmet medical need. The study treatment, Mirena (also known as BAY 865028), is already available as a type of birth control device. It is inserted into the uterus where it gradually releases progesterone. In this study, researchers want to find out if Mirena works for women with NAEH. They believe it can help by keeping hormone levels balanced in the body. The main purpose of this study is to show that uterine lining goes back to completely normal lining after treatment with Mirena and that its use is safe in this population. For this, the researchers will compare the number of participants with benign endometrium after 6 months of treatment with Mirena or oral MPA. The study participants will be randomly assigned into one of two treatment groups. The randomization will be done 2:1 ratio, meaning that for every two participants assigned to Mirena, one will be assigned to oral medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA). Based on their group, participants will receive Mirena, which is inserted into the uterus at the start of the study, or they will take progestins once daily by mouth for 6 months. Each participant will be in the study for around 10 months with up to 5 visits to the study clinic/site. Participants will visit the study clinic: * once before the treatment starts * 3 times with a gap of 3 months between the visits during the treatment * then 1 more time after the treatment ends During the study, the doctors and their study team will: * check participant's health by performing tests such as blood and urine tests * perform vaginal ultrasound and hysteroscopy. Hysteroscopy is a minor surgical procedure where a thin camera will be inserted into the womb to check for any abnormality. Sampling of the endometrial lining (cells in the womb) will be done with a thin tube at the same time. * take samples of womb (endometrial) lining * ask the participants questions about how they are feeling and what adverse events they are having An adverse event is any medical problem that a participant has during a study. Doctors keep track of all adverse events, irrespective if they think it is related or not to the study treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do clinical trials in Lake Charles, LA 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 Lake Charles, LA 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 Lake Charles, LA 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 Lake Charles, LA 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 Lake Charles, LA 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 Lake Charles, LA?

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 Lake Charles, LA?

Most recently, we added Sildenafil for Cancer-Related Cognitive Impairment, Mirena for Endometrial Hyperplasia and Vepugratinib for Bladder Cancer to the Power online platform.
