This trial compares two treatments for women with moderate to severe acne. One treatment helps balance hormones to reduce skin oiliness, while the other kills bacteria and reduces inflammation. The goal is to see which treatment is more effective and potentially reduce the need for long-term antibiotic use.

There is a growing epidemic of the bacterial sexually transmitted infections (STIs) syphilis, chlamydia and gonorrhea worldwide; similarly concerning trends have been noted in Canada, where increases of over 160% have been seen in bacterial STIs over the last decade. In Canada, gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (gbMSM) - including those living with HIV - are disproportionately impacted by bacterial STIs5,6These dramatic increases in bacterial STIs, the potential development of serious complications including AMR, and waning effectiveness of the promotion of conventional STI prevention tools (e.g. condoms), signals the need for novel STI prevention strategies and tools to mitigate STI-related complications. A rigorous randomized controlled trial will be conducted to compare STI PrEP vs. STI PEP and definitively assess the efficacy, safety, antimicrobial resistance profiles and costs associated with doxycycline-based STI prevention.

Current medical treatment allows more people to survive heart attacks than in the past. However, some of the survivors suffer heart disease and require hospitalization later on. The causes behind this heart disease (heart failure) after a heart attack are poorly understood. Matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP-2) is a protein that cuts other proteins into pieces, and is activated in heart muscle when there is a heart attack. MMP-2 causes heart injury when the blood flow to the heart is restored after the attack. Blocking MMP-2 activity is a potential therapy to prevent heart injury under these circumstances. The only MMP-2 inhibiting drug currently approved for clinical use is doxycycline, specifically used to treat periodontitis (gum inflammation) and rosacea (a skin condition). At higher doses doxycycline also acts as an antibiotic for which it has been clinically used for decades. A previous clinical study found that taking doxycycline twice a day, for one week after a heart attack improved the health of the patients' hearts. The investigators have conducted a similar study in patients that had surgery to replace blocked coronary arteries (blood vessels that feed the heart muscle). These patients took a low dose of doxycycline once a day for 2 days before surgery, on the day of the surgery, and three days after surgery. The participants in this study showed no adverse effects of using doxycycline. The goal of this study is to see if doxycycline protects the hearts of patients that suffered a heart attack. All patients will receive standard clinical care for their condition, but in addition will take a doxycycline capsule twice a day, or a placebo capsule for 7 days, as soon as possible after being diagnosed with a heart attack. Three months later, the investigators will evaluate the patients by looking at their heart structure using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MRI is a powerful tool that allows doctors to see inside the body without surgery or X-ray radiation. The hearts of those patients that received doxycycline are expected to be healthier than those who received placebo. The investigators plan to promote the use of doxycycline to protect the hearts of patients with heart attacks. If successful, doxycycline could help improve the quality of life of heart attack survivors.

Why We Started Power

We started Power when my dad was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, and I struggled to help him access the latest immunotherapy. Hopefully Power makes it simpler for you to explore promising new treatments, during what is probably a difficult time.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do 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 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 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 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 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 clinical trials ?
Most recently, we added Doxycycline for Sexually Transmitted Infections, Spironolactone vs Doxycycline for Acne and Doxycycline for Heart Attack to the Power online platform.
