Learn More About PowerLyme Disease Vaccine for Healthy Children
Washington, District of Columbia
This study is to understand if the study vaccine (called VLA15) is safe in healthy children.
We are looking for children who:
* are healthy
* are age 5 through 17
* have not been diagnosed with any form of Lyme disease in the past
* have not received any vaccines for Lyme disease in the past
Lyme disease happens most often in children of this age. The study vaccine may be used potentially to help prevent Lyme disease. The goal of this study is to get more information about the safety of the study vaccine in this age group.
Participants will be in this study for about 2 years. During that time, they will receive VLA15 or placebo (sterile saltwater solution) by a "shot" in the arm. We will compare experience of children receiving VLA15 to those receiving the placebo. Participants will not know whether they get VLA15 or placebo.
Everyone participating in this study will:
* get the shots in a clinic or in a hospital office
* receive a total of 4 shots
* receive the first 3 shots within 6 months
* receive the last shot about 1 year afterwards
* need to come to the trial site for 6 planned visits; 4 of these are vaccination visits and 2 are follow-up visits. We will contact you by phone 1 time every year during the study to monitor your experience. You may have extra visits if you experience a severe reaction after a vaccine dose.

Chemotherapy + Immunotherapy for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
Fredericksburg, Virginia
This randomized phase III trial studies combination chemotherapy with blinatumomab to see how well it works compared to induction chemotherapy alone in treating patients with newly diagnosed breakpoint cluster region (BCR)-c-abl oncogene 1, non-receptor tyrosine kinase (ABL)-negative B lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as blinatumomab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. It is not yet known whether combination chemotherapy is more effective with or without blinatumomab in treating newly diagnosed acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Sertraline for Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder
Charlottesville, Virginia
Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) is a severe affective disorder impacting millions of women worldwide, thought to be due to altered sensitivity to hormone fluctuations across the menstrual cycle. Neuroactive steroid hormones (NAS) and the gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-A receptor (GABAAR) are thought to play a role in PMDD. This research will assess the blood levels of GABAergic NAS, expression of associated enzymes, and expression of GABAAR subunits across the premenstrual (luteal) phase of the menstrual cycle in healthy controls and individuals with PMDD. Within the PMDD group, the investigators will assess how these measures are affected by a low-dose antidepressant medication versus placebo. The results will provide a comprehensive view of the changes in these systems across the menstrual cycle and will add to the investigator's understanding of the mechanisms that underlie PMDD, as well as therapeutic mechanisms of PMDD treatment.

Metformin for Exercise Capacity
Charlottesville, Virginia
Metformin is the most prescribed blood sugar (glucose)-lowering medication for patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Metformin stimulates glucose uptake in skeletal muscle similar to the effects of exercise, though, some studies report that metformin may decrease exercise capacity.
The main question this study looks to answer is:
• Does metformin alter exercise capacity?
Participants will:
* Complete 5 exercise tests on a stationary bike.
* Undergo a body composition test.
* Take metformin and placebo.
* Complete food and symptom logs.
The researchers hypothesize that:
• Metformin will reduce aerobic capacity.

Bone Grafts for Jawbone Preservation
Baltimore, Maryland
This research aims to compare the effectiveness of two bone grafting materials on preserving jawbone integrity after tooth extraction. Following extraction, the jawbone surrounding the removed tooth can shrink, affecting future implant placement. By placing a bone graft material in the extraction socket, we aim to maintain adequate jawbone space for future implants. This study compares how well the mixture of vallos®f (human source bone) and Bio-Oss (animal source bone) \[test\], and vallos® only \[control\] grafting materials work.
Participants with at least one tooth planned for extraction and subsequent implant placement are sought for this study. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the mixture of vallos®f and Bio-Oss (test) group or the vallos® only (control) group.
Throughout the approximately 2-year study duration, participants will undergo oral exams, x-rays, surgical procedures, and follow-up visits. All participants will undergo routine tooth extraction, bone graft material placement, and dental implant placement. After the crown is placed on the implant, participants will attend follow-up visits.
Participation in the study is voluntary, and the alternative is to continue routine dental care. Risks include minor discomfort from procedures such as tooth extraction and implant placement. The major benefit of participation in the study is the preservation of jaw dimensions following extraction, which will simplify the placement of a dental implant.

Various Treatments for Long COVID
Bethesda, Maryland
Investigators are conducting a study on alternative treatments for patients who have received an current or previous positive COVID-19 diagnosis with mild-serve symptoms or undiagnosable condition after testing positive for severe acute COVID-19 infection and are experiencing long-haul symptoms. The symptoms of long COVID can include extreme tiredness (fatigue), shortness of breath, memory and concentration issues (brain fog), heart palpitations, dizziness, joint pain, muscle aches, cough, headaches, anxiety, and depression.
It's important to note that there are various other symptoms that individuals can experience after a COVID-19 infection, such as loss of smell, chest pain or tightness, difficulty sleeping (insomnia), pins and needles, depression, anxiety, tinnitus, earaches, nausea, diarrhea, stomach aches, loss of appetite, cough, headaches, sore throat, and changes to the sense of smell or taste.
To be included in the study, participants must have had symptoms for more than 4 weeks. The goal of the study is to measure biomarkers, identify new ones through clinical trials, and individualize and optimize treatment plans, which may or may not include COVID-19 post-market antivirals, vaccines, and medical care.
It's essential to conduct thorough clinical trials to understand the long-term effects of COVID-19 and to develop personalized treatment plans for individuals experiencing long-haul symptoms.

Antibiotic Prophylaxis for UTIs in Overactive Bladder
Bethesda, Maryland
Overactive bladder (OAB) is a common condition with a prevalence of 17% in the general population that significantly affects quality of life. Intradetrusor onabotulinumtoxinA injections are an advanced therapy for OAB as well as interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS). The most common adverse event following intradetrusor injection of onabotulinumtoxinA in urinary tract infection (UTI), which occurs in 8.6-48.1% of patients. To prevent UTIs, patients are given a course of antibiotics, however the ideal prophylactic regimen has not been determined for the timing, duration, and type of antibiotic. Four retrospective studies in the literature address this question with variable conclusions, and there are no prospective studies. Identifying the ideal regimen is important for preventing UTIs as well as minimizing antibiotic use to prevent adverse effects and development of antibiotic resistance.
The population to be studied will be female patients 18 years and older who are patients of the urogynecology and urology clinics at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center with a diagnosis of OAB or IC/BPS and have chosen to be treated with intradetrusor onabotulinumtoxinA injections. It will be a non-blinded randomized controlled noninferiority trial in which the patients are randomly placed into 2 groups. The first group will receive a 3 day course of twice daily oral nitrofurantoin 100mg starting at the time of the procedure, and the second group will receive a single dose of 100mg oral nitrofurantoin at the time of the procedure.
The patients will be screened at the clinic at the time that they schedule their intradetrusor onabotulinumtoxinA injection appointment or by phone 1-2 weeks prior to their procedure. If the patient agrees to participate in the study then they will be instructed to give a urine sample for urinalysis and culture 1 week prior to the procedure appointment to exclude existing UTI. If a UTI is diagnosed at this time they must complete treatment prior to the procedure or will need to reschedule their procedure. On the day of the procedure patients will receive the clinic standard 10ml of 2% viscous lidocaine through the urethra 10-20 minutes prior to the procedure, and may be offered 5-10mg oral diazepam at the discretion of the treating physician. All patients will be given 200mg of phenazopyridine and 100mg of nitrofurantoin prior to the initiation of the procedure. The procedure will take place as directed by the treating physician per standard operating procedure.
A urinalysis and urine culture will be placed for all study participants at time of their procedure appointment in case they have symptoms of UTI, and they will be instructed to follow up with the research team by phone if they have concerns for a UTI. Patients will be contacted 30-45 days after the procedure by phone, email, or message through genesis and asked about any UTI symptoms, UTI diagnoses and secondary outcomes during the 30 days following the procedure. Data will be analyzed for the primary outcome of UTI rates in the 30 days following intradetrusor onabotulinumtoxinA injection.

Low-Dose Contrast CT for TAVR Planning
Baltimore, Maryland
A standard polyenergetic CT (computed tomography) procedure utilizes 100 ml of iodinated contrast. A recent world-wide shortage of iodine based intravenous contrast has highlighted the need to search for alternative methods or doses. Reducing iodinated IV contrast dose can mitigate IV contrast supply shortages and enable significant cost savings for the radiology practice and hospital system. In addition, decreased IV contrast dose can potentially reduce the rate of acute kidney injury, specifically in patients with decreased renal function. The purpose of the study is to determine whether low IV contrast dose CT with monoenergetic reconstruction can be use for presurgical planning of transcatheter valve replacement (TAVR) procedure.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do clinical trials in Maryland 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 Maryland 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 Maryland 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 Maryland 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 Maryland 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 Maryland?
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 Maryland?
Most recently, we added Combination Therapy for Advanced Cervical Cancer, Ketone-IQ for Sleep Apnea and Pacritinib for Myelodysplastic Syndrome to the Power online platform.
