Detroit, Michigan
Opioids are often added with a local anesthetic to enhance the duration and quality of spinal anesthesia for cesarean delivery patients. However, spinal opioids are associated with a wide variety of side effects such as nausea, vomiting, (N/V) and pruritus (itching). The occurrence of pruritus can vary between 30% and 100% making pruritus the most common side-effect of intrathecal opioids and this rate is even higher in pregnant patients. Pruritus may require treatment which can be ineffective or sometimes reverse the analgesic effect of the opioids. Ondansetron is a safe and very commonly used Serotonin receptor antagonist treatment for local anesthetic opioid-induced pruritus used in pregnancy. The effect of different administration times of ondansetron in reducing pruritus or N/V in cesarean section (CS) cases has not been extensively studied and thus, this prospective study can help guide future clinical management of side effects caused by spinal intrathecal morphine administration.

Ondansetron for Atrial Fibrillation
Indianapolis, Indiana
"Afib" is a common irregular heartbeat. Afib can cause stroke, blood clots, dementia and death. Medicines used to treat Afib often do not work well and can cause serious side effects. Clinicians need medicines that work better for Afib. Medicines for Afib work by blocking a current in the heart called a potassium current. There is a newer potassium current called IKas that can contribute to Afib. A medicine called ondansetron is used to keep people with cancer from getting sick to their stomach and throwing up. The investigators have found that ondansetron blocks IKas, and the investigators think that this means that ondansetron may work well to treat Afib. So, in this study the investigators want to find out if ondansetron can: 1) Reduce the amount of time that people have Afib, and 2) Slow down the heart rate when people have Afib. The investigators will study 80 people who are scheduled to have an AF ablation. Several weeks prior to undergoing the ablation procedure, these AF patients will be assigned by chance (like flipping a coin) to one of two groups: ondansetron 8 mg by mouth twice daily or a sugar pill (placebo), which they will take for 28 days. The people in the study will not know whether they are receiving ondansetron or placebo. The investigators will find out if ondansetron reduces the percentage of time that people are in Afib. Also, the investigators will find out if ondansetron slows the heart rate while people are having Afib. The investigators will compare the people in the study who take ondansetron with the people in the study who take placebo. This research will help the investigators to find out if ondansetron can be used as a medicine for people who have Afib.

Granisetron Patch vs Ondansetron for Nausea and Vomiting
Chicago, Illinois
Patients undergoing either an autologous or allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) and receiving preparative chemotherapy experience a considerable amount of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV). Current strategies at reducing CINV in this patient population are suboptimal due to lack of efficacy and supportive evidence, potential for increased adverse events, and drug-drug and drug-disease contraindications.

DAS-001 for Myasthenia Gravis
Washington, District of Columbia
This trial tests whether adding ondansetron to pyridostigmine can help patients with myasthenia gravis who suffer from stomach problems caused by pyridostigmine. Pyridostigmine helps muscles work better, but it can cause nausea. Ondansetron is used to prevent this nausea. The goal is to see if patients can tolerate higher doses of pyridostigmine without feeling sick. Ondansetron is widely used to prevent nausea and vomiting in various conditions, including chemotherapy, pregnancy, and postoperative recovery.

Ondansetron + Lidocaine for Injection Site Reaction
Atlanta, Georgia
This study is a randomized, single-site clinical trial that will take place at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta at Egleston. The investigators want to see if in pediatric patients, giving Zofran prior to propofol, reduces the pain that patients often experience when propofol is injected through an IV. Subjects will be randomized to 1 of 2 groups: lidocaine (common standard of care), or Zofran. The investigators hope to show a means of improving pain control in their patients undergoing anesthesia.

Ondansetron for Sleep Fainting
Calgary, Alberta
At least 5% of patients with vasovagal syncope also have Sleep Syncope. Patients awake from sleep with profound malaise and gastrointestinal vagal symptoms. About 75% have severe nausea and about 40% have lower abdominal cramps. Some faint while supine, but most find their symptoms so severe that they rise quickly and hurry to the bathroom. Sometime either on the way to the toilet, near it, or shortly afterwards they faint. The nausea is followed by vomiting, and the cramps by watery diarrhea. After relief the patients remain presyncopal, diaphoretic, and tired. Almost all patients also have clinical vasovagal syncope during daytime hours.
The cause of this is unknown. Orthostatic stress cannot be a factor in triggering the event, and in isolated case reports it occurs during non-REM sleep. There is no classic provocative situation of pain, the sight of trauma, or the presence of medical settings. These suggest the importance of central processes and the reduced likelihood that strategies that target maintaining preload (such as with midodrine and fludrocortisone) would be helpful. As well, midodrine is avoided during the night.
Recently the investigators reasoned that if the investigators could rapidly suppress the nausea patients could remain supine, wait out the nausea, and not faint with orthostatic stress. Ondansetron is a potent anti-nausea medication that has rapidly dissolving preparations. Nine patients were instructed to keep one at the bedside, insert it upon waking up with nausea, remain in bed, and raise their legs (if possible). There was partial success with ondansetron 4 mg and complete success with ondansetron 8 mg. This remarkable but anecdotal observation requires formal testing.
Research Objectives: the investigators will test the hypothesis that ondansetron 8 mg prn sublingually on awakening with moderate to severe nausea prevents loss of consciousness in patients with prior Sleep Syncope who awaken with malaise and nausea.
Study Design \& Methodology: The main study will be a placebo-controlled, double-blind, randomized, crossover clinical trial. The primary outcome will be the progression of awakening with nausea to syncope. Thirty patients with Sleep Syncope will be randomized 1:1 to receive packages of either ondansetron 8 mg sublingual tablets or matching placebo. They will each receive 3 boxes of 10 tabs, with refills available if needed. Each crossover period will last 6 months.
In a substudy the investigators will test whether the predominant disturbed physiology is bradycardia, decreased venous return, or decreased systemic vascular resistance. This will be assessed using a unique, small, wearable blood pressure sensor that can be rapidly donned on the ear. It records heart rate and beat-to-beat waveforms, which permit estimating stroke volume, systemic vascular resistance, and cardiac output. the investigators will record these variables in all patients continuously from when the device is put on until 30 minutes afterwards. the investigators hypothesize that unlike during syncope provoked by head-up tilt testing, here there will be no decrease in preload until patients arise, and that the main physiologic disturbance during syncope is hypotension due to decreased preload superimposed on heart rate collapse.
Anticipated Outcomes: If successful, this research would be i) the first to report a well-tolerated and highly effective treatment for most sleep syncope, and ii) the first to report the physiology of brain-initiated vasovagal syncope in the community outside a laboratory environment.

Ondansetron for Fainting Prevention
Calgary, Alberta
About 20% of adults faint recurrently. These patients are often highly symptomatic, have problems with employment and driving, can be injured, and have poor quality of life. There are few therapies that have withstood the test of randomized clinical trials. the investigators will conduct a prospective, randomized, parallel, double-blind, proof-of-concept study that tests the hypothesis that serotonin 5HT3 receptor inhibition with ondansetron prevents tilt-induced vasovagal syncope (VVS) and pre-syncope in patients with clinical VVS. A total of 70 patients with quantitative clinical diagnostic criteria for VVS and at least 1 syncopal spell in the preceding year will be randomized in a double-blind acute phase 2 study to ondansetron 8 mg PO BID x 2 doses or matching placebo. The endpoint will be presyncope or syncope associated with diagnostic hemodynamic changes. These data should provide useful preliminary data as a foundation on which to conduct a subsequent randomized clinical trial.

Why Other Patients Applied
"I have dealt with voice and vocal fold issues related to paralysis for over 12 years. This problem has negatively impacted virtually every facet of my life. 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."

"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."

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 Ondansetron for Atrial Fibrillation, Ondansetron for Sleep Fainting and Ondansetron for Drug-Induced Itching to the Power online platform.Popular Searches
