Cincinnati, Ohio
Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a serious intestinal disease of preterm and term neonates which remains a major cause of intestinal failure, and an unsolved clinical challenge in pediatrics. While overall mortality of preterm infants continues to decrease due to improvements in general neonatal care, mortality caused by NEC remains high (up to 30-50%) and survivors suffer from reduced quality of life, and long-term disabilities such as debilitating complications of intestinal failure, poor growth and neurodevelopmental delay. Besides prevention, there have been hardly any innovations in the treatment of NEC which underwent trial evaluation.
NEC pathogenesis is multifactorial, but bowel ischemia is known to play an essential role in the development of NEC. Remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) is a therapeutic maneuver that involves brief cycles of non-lethal ischemia and reperfusion applied to a limb, which protects distant organs (such as the intestine) from ischemic damage. The investigators have shown that in preclinical models of NEC, RIC effectively reduces intestinal damage and prolongs survival. The investigators have also demonstrated the safety of RIC in preterm neonates with NEC. Before the investigators can evaluate the effectiveness of RIC in treating neonates with NEC in a Phase III randomized clinical trial (RCT), a Phase II Feasibility RCT must be conducted to evaluate issues related to the enrollment and randomization of neonates, masking of the RIC intervention, and measurement of clinical outcomes.
The investigators hypothesize that it is feasible to conduct a multicenter RCT to evaluate RIC during the management of neonates with medical NEC.

High-Intensity Gait Training for Multiple Sclerosis
Chicago, Illinois
Nearly 1 million individuals in the United States have multiple sclerosis, which causes fatigue and problems with walking. Fatigue and walking problems are poorly treated, but exercise training, particularly high-intensity walking exercise, may help. This provide insight into whether high-intensity walking exercise can improve fatigue and walking problems in people with multiple sclerosis, which could improve quality of life and reduce economic burden.

Ischemic Conditioning for Stroke
Chicago, Illinois
The goal of this clinical trial is to test ischemic conditioning (blood flow restriction) as a neuromodulatory technique to improve gait function in stroke. Neuromodulation is emerging as a promising adjunct strategy to facilitate changes in brain activity and improve motor behavior following a neurological injury such as stroke.
The main questions this trial aims to answer are:
* Can ischemic conditioning produce neuromodulatory changes in the lower limb primary motor cortex?
* Can ischemic conditioning be used as a neuromodulatory technique to improve strength, motor control, and gait speed in individuals with stroke when compared to sham ischemic conditioning?
Participants will take part in two sessions of ischemic conditioning where a cuff (similar to ones that measure blood pressure) will be placed around the thigh and inflated to one of two blood flow restriction pressures (real or sham). Each participant will experience measures of brain activity and motor behavior testing before and after both sessions (ischemic conditioning and sham ischemic conditioning).
Researchers will investigate ischemic conditioning as neuromodulation modality in stroke to see if ischemic conditioning can produce beneficial changes in brain activity and improvements on subsequent motor behavior tasks.

CIMT vs Treadmill Training for Post-Stroke Walking Recovery
Chicago, Illinois
To compare the effect of constraint induced movement therapy (CIMT) vs. treadmill training only on walking function in individuals post-stroke, a 6 week, single-blind, randomized training study will be conducted with three assessments of gait to determine the training effect. Subjects will be randomized to either the CIMT or treadmill training only groups at the initial test. Following the initial test, individuals from the 2 groups will undergo intensive locomotor training. Training will be performed 3 times per week for 6 weeks with the training time for each visit set to 45 minutes as tolerated. Data collection will proceed until 36 subjects from 2 groups have been trained.

Background:
People living with HIV(PLWH) are at a higher risk for cancers that may be curable with a bone marrow transplant. HIV infection itself is no longer a reason to not get a transplant, for patients who otherwise have a standard reason to need transplant.
Objective:
This study is being done to see if a new combination of drugs (cyclophosphamide, maraviroc, and bortezomib) is both safe and effective at protecting against graft-versus-host disease after bone marrow transplant. The study will also test the transplant s impact on your survival and control of your cancer.
Eligibility:
People aged 18 years and older living with HIV and a blood cancer that is eligible for a transplant. Healthy family members aged 12 or older who are half matched to transplant recipients are also needed to donate bone marrow.
Design:
The study will be done in 2 phases. The first phase will be to see if we can safely use a new combination of drugs to prevent GVHD. If the combination is safe in the first phase, the study will proceed to the second phase. In the second phase, we will see if this new combination can better protect against GVHD after transplant.
Participants will be screened. Their diagnoses, organ function and eligibility will be confirmed.
Participants will have a catheter inserted into a vein in their chest or neck. Medications and transfusions will be given through the catheter; blood will be drawn from it.
Participants will be in the hospital for 6 weeks or longer.
They will receive various drugs for 2 weeks to prep their body for the transplant.
The transplant cells will be administered through the catheter.
Participants will continue to receive drug treatments after the transplant.
Blood transfusions may also be needed.
Participants will return 1-2 times per week for follow-up visits for 3 months after discharge.
Participants will have visits 6, 12, 18, 24 months after transplant, then once a year for 5 years.

Ischemic Conditioning for Stroke Recovery
Milwaukee, Wisconsin
The muscles of stroke survivors can fatigue faster compared to muscles in people who have not had a stroke, which can limit how long a person with stroke can perform tasks such as walking. This study will examine how blood flow is regulated to the exercising leg muscle post-stroke, because if the muscle does not receive enough blood flow it will become fatigued. Finally, the investigators will use a safe and simple non-invasive intervention called ischemic conditioning, which has known effects to improve blood flow to exercising muscle and determine the effects on muscle fatigue.

Ischemic Conditioning for Frailty
Wauwatosa, Wisconsin
The goal of this clinical trial is to see how small blood vessels respond to the stress of high intensity exercise, and if a safe and simple intervention called ischemic conditioning can protect blood vessels from the stress of exercise.
Participants will come in for 3 study visits and get home-based ischemic conditioning. At Study Visit 1, participants will be assessed for their frailty and physical function. Afterwards, they will perform an exercise test. At Study Visit 2, patients will undergo 2 microvascular assessments, perform a high-intensity exercise, then undergo the same 2 microvascular assessments again. Participants will be given a handheld sphygmomanometer and a blood pressure cuff to take home. Depending on which group the participants get randomized into, participants will place the blood pressure cuff around their non-dominant upper arm and inflate to either a low or high pressure for 2 weeks at home. Participants will repeat the same steps in Study Visit 2 for Study Visit 3. In addition, participants will also be assessed for their frailty and physical function.

Ischemic Conditioning for Stroke
Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Stroke survivors have compromised vascular function which may contribute to secondary stroke risk, cardiovascular disease, and may limit their exercise tolerance. No studies have examined how femoral blood flow responds to both passive leg movement, a measure of microvascular function, as well as active leg contractions, a measure of the hyperemic response to exercise. Leg muscles with a reduced blood flow response to movement could be associated with decreased neuromuscular function, such as leg strength and fatigue. Preliminary data showing a single bout of ischemic conditioning may improve vascular function and muscle activation in healthy adults and individuals post-stroke. Therefore, the investigators want to examine if ischemic conditioning will also improve the blood flow response to passive leg movements as well as during single leg active contractions.

Multisensory Balance Training for Stroke
Charleston, South Carolina
Many individuals who experience a stroke have problems with their balance. In part, these balance problems may be due to sensory issues. This study will test whether sensory augmentation has the potential to improve post-stroke balance. Sensory augmentation is a method by which non-invasive vibration is used to enhance the sensory information available to users, which may make it easier to feel where they are and prevent losses of balance.

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 Multisensory Balance Training for Stroke, Ischemic Conditioning for Stroke and High-Intensity Gait Training for Multiple Sclerosis to the Power online platform.Popular Searches
