Sacubitril-Valsartan for Prediabetes

Columbus, Ohio
The primary objective is to examine the impact of the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System (RAAS) blockade with medications (valsartan) or RAAS and neprilysin inhibition (valsartan/sacubitril) vs. placebo on changes in blood sugar and insulin secretion from the pancreas over 26 weeks assessed with glucose clamp studies among African Americans (AAs) with impaired glucose tolerance. The investigators hypothesize that combined RAAS/neprilysin inhibition will lead to greater improvement in insulin release from the pancreas and improved blood sugar compared to RAAS inhibition alone among AAs with impaired glucose tolerance.

Statins for Blood Clots

Hamilton, Ontario
The standard or usual treatment for patients diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism is treatment with blood thinners (called anticoagulants). While treatment of blood clots with blood thinners is effective, some research has shown that adding a statin (medication used to lower cholesterol) may give extra protection. It is thought that statins can improve how cells along the walls of the vein control inflammation, which can prevent new blood clots from forming. The medication in this study, rosuvastatin, is approved in Canada for use as a cholesterol-lowering medication. The use of rosuvastatin in this study is considered investigational. This means that Health Canada has not approved the use of rosuvastatin as a treatment for blood clots. However, it has been approved for use in this research study. The purpose of this study is to examine if adding a statin (rosuvastatin) to the usual blood thinner treatment will decrease the risk of another blood clot forming. The investigators also hope to discover if taking a statin reduces damage to your veins. To do this, some of the participants in this study will get rosuvastatin and others will receive a placebo (a substance that looks like the study rosuvastatin but does not have any active or medicinal ingredients). The placebo in this study is not intended to have any effect on your blood clot. A placebo is used to make the results of the study more reliable.

Apixaban for Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Hamilton, Ontario
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a relatively common disease that effects all age groups and carries significant morbidity and mortality. The initial treatment typically involves both short and long term medication, however when this is not enough to adequately control the disease, surgery is often required. The high morbidity and mortality rates are in part due to the increased rates of venous thromboembolism (VTE) such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE) which have been shown to develop more frequently in IBD patients compared to the general population. Undergoing abdominal surgery has also been shown to independently increase rates of DVT and PE and since the majority of patients with IBD will undergo surgery at least once in their lifetime, the relative increased risk of developing a VTE is very high. The majority of DVT and PE events in the postoperative IBD population will occur after discharge from hospital and therefore carries significant morbidity and mortality risk in a unmonitored setting. Several studies have demonstrated the benefits and safety of twice daily dosing of oral extended VTE prophylaxis agents in orthopedic and cancer postoperative patients following discharge from hospital. There have been no randomized studies which have evaluated the use of extended postoperative VTE prophylaxis in IBD patients. The purpose of this randomized placebo controlled pilot trial will be to evaluate the efficacy and safety of postoperative VTE prophylaxis in IBD patients following abdominal surgery. If this pilot trial demonstrates efficacy in reducing postoperative DVT and PE rates, safety and feasibility, clinicians will be armed with the knowledge to pursue a larger multicenter randomized trial with the intent of reducing overall morbidity and mortality in this high risk population.

Moxonidine for Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome

Nashville, Tennessee
Postural tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is a relatively common condition affecting mostly otherwise healthy young women. These patients have high heart rate and disabling symptoms during standing. Quality of life may be poor. The sympathetic nerves in the autonomic nervous system help to maintain normal blood pressures and heart rates during activities of daily life. The purpose of this study is to determine the importance of sympathetic activation as a cause of orthostatic symptoms. The investigators will assess the effects of a blood pressure medication (Moxonidine) on the symptoms during standing. Moxonidine lowers sympathetic activity. The investigators believe patients with high resting sympathetic activity might benefit from Moxonidine. It might reduce high heart rate and improve symptoms during standing. This study should help clinicians and the growing population of patients with POTS gain a better understanding of this disorder and find more personalized treatment.

Fluoxetine + DHEA for Type 1 Diabetes

Baltimore, Maryland
(1) To determine how the Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor (SSRI), fluoxetine (Prozac), an antidepressant often used to treat depression, stimulates the participant's body's ability to defend against low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). (2) To learn how a hormone, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), stimulates the participant's body's ability to defend itself from low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). DHEA is a hormone produced naturally in the human body. However, it can be manufactured and is sold as an over-the-counter dietary supplement. The dose the investigators are giving in this study is higher than the usual recommended dosage taken as a supplement for certain medical conditions. (3) To study combined effects of fluoxetine and DHEA during low blood glucose. In the present study, the investigators will measure the participant's body's responses to hypoglycemia when given fluoxetine or DHEA or fluoxetine and DHEA or a placebo (a pill with no fluoxetine or DHEA). Approximately 64 individuals with type 1 diabetes will take part in this study.

Suvorexant for Sleep Disorders in ICU Patients

Bronx, New York
Investigators will evaluate the efficacy of postoperative oral suvorexant treatment on nighttime wakefulness after persistent sleep onset (WASO) among adult cardiac surgical patients recovering in the cardiac intensive care unit (ICU). The study include patients ≥ 60 years old undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG), with or without valve surgery (aortic or mitral). Patients will receive either oral suvorexant or placebo for 7 nights starting the night after extubation. The primary hypothesis is that suvorexant compared with placebo decreases WASO, as measured by a specialized electroencephalogram (EEG), the SedLine monitor, during the first night in the cardiac ICU. Investigators will also assess total sleep time (TST), time to sleep onset (TSO), and postoperative delirium and delirium-free days.

Short-course Benznidazole for Chagas Disease

New Orleans, Louisiana
The investigators are proposing to perform a double-blinded, non-inferiority randomized controlled trial comparing a short 30-day treatment with BZN 150mg/day (30d/150mg) vs. a 60-day treatment with BZN 300 mg/day (60d/300mg). The investigators will recruit not previously treated T. cruzi seropositive women with a live birth during the postpartum period in Argentina, randomize them at six months postpartum, and follow them up with the following specific aims: Specific Aim 1: To measure the effect of BZN 30d/150mg compared to 60d/300mg preconceptional treatment on parasitic load measured by the frequency of positive PCR (primary outcome) and by real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR), immediately (Specific Aim 1a) and 10 months (Specific Aim 1b) after treatment. Hypothesis 1a: The frequency of positive PCR and the parasitic load measured by qPCR immediately after BZN 30d/150mg will be non-inferior (Non Inferiority \[NI\] margin for PCR: 10% absolute difference) to BZN 60d/300mg. Hypothesis 1b: The frequency of positive PCR and the parasitic load measured by qPCR 10 months after BZN 30d/150mg will be non-inferior (NI margin for PCR: 9% absolute difference) to BZN 60d/300mg. Specific Aim 2: To measure the frequency of serious adverse events leading to treatment interruption of BZN 30d/150mg compared to 60d/300mg. Hypothesis 2: The frequency of serious adverse events leading to treatment interruption will be 50% lower with BZN 30d/150mg than with BZN 60d/300mg. A 24-month recruitment period is planned in four hospitals with 23,436 deliveries in 2015 and frequencies of T. cruzi seropositive women varying from 1.5% to 4.8%. The investigators are planning to enroll 600 T. cruzi seropositive women.

Why Other Patients Applied

"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 SGLT2 Inhibitors for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease, Progesterone for Postpartum Smoking Relapse and Apixaban for Inflammatory Bowel Disease to the Power online platform.
