Learn More About PowerBrain Imaging + Ketamine for Suicide Risk
Bethesda, Maryland
Background:
There are no good treatments for people considering suicide. Researchers want to study suicide with questions, blood tests, brain imaging, and sleep studies. They hope to better understand suicide, so they can help suicidal people.
Objective:
To understand what happens in the brain when someone has thought about or attempted suicide.
Eligibility:
Group 1: Adults ages 18 70 who have thought about or attempted suicide recently
Group 2: Adults ages 18 70 who have thought about or attempted suicide in the past
Group 3: Adults ages 18 70 who have depression or anxiety, but have never thought about suicide
Group 4: Healthy volunteers the same ages.
Design:
Participants will be screened in another protocol. Adults who have recently thought about or attempted suicide must be referred by a doctor. They may do up to 3 phases of this study. Groups 2, 3 and 4 will do only Phase 1 and will not get ketamine.
Phase 1: 1 week in hospital. Participants will have:
Physical exam.
Questions about thoughts and feelings.
Thinking and memory tests and simple tasks.
Blood and urine tests.
Two MRI scans. Participants will lie on a table that slides into a metal cylinder that takes pictures. They will have a coil over their head and earplugs and do a computer task.
Sleep test. Disks and bands will be placed on the body to monitor it during sleep.
Magnetic detectors on their head while they perform tasks.
A wrist monitor for activity and sleep.
Lumbar puncture (optional). A needle will collect fluid from the back.
Shock experiments (optional). Participants will observe pictures and sounds and feel a small shock on the hand.
Phase 2: 4 days in hospital. A thin plastic tube will be placed in each arm, one for blood draws, the other to get the drug ketamine once. Participants will repeat most of the Phase 1 tests.
Phase 3: up to 4 more ketamine doses over 2 weeks.
Participants will have follow-up calls or visits at 6 months and then maybe yearly for 5 years.

Lifestyle Intervention vs Metformin for Gestational Diabetes
Washington, District of Columbia
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of a 6-month lifestyle intervention compared to Metformin in postpartum women who have delivered a singleton, live born infant within the last 12 weeks to 1 year and had a pregnancy complicated by gestational diabetes. The main question this study aims to answer is:
Is a Lifestyle Intervention or Metformin more effective for weight loss in postpartum women with recent gestational diabetes?
Researchers will compare a 6-month Lifestyle Intervention and Metformin to see if either intervention is more effective in achieving weight loss and improving health outcomes.
Participants will:
* Attend an in-person baseline visit to receive a Bluetooth-enabled scale and Fitbit, have blood drawn for testing, and have their height, weight, and blood pressure measured. Participants will also be asked to bring in their infant, and the study team will measure the infant's weight and length.
* Track diet, physical activity, and weight using the Fitbit and Looseit! apps.
* Attend weekly online group sessions for the first 4 weeks, then biweekly sessions.
* If not meeting weight loss goals, be randomized to either Enhanced Lifestyle Intervention or Metformin arms of the study.
* If randomized to Metformin, participants will attend one in-person meeting with the study provider, get blood drawn for testing, and undergo a urine pregnancy test before starting the medication.
* Continue with biweekly group sessions or have regular check-in calls.
* If randomized to the Enhanced Lifestyle Intervention, participants will get a free Instacart membership, a 1:1 session with the study health counselor focused on meal planning and free grocery delivery once a week for the remainder of the study.
* Participants will meet every other week via Zoom with the health counselor and other participants in the enhanced lifestyle arm.
* At the end of the 6 months, all participants will come for an in-person visit to get blood drawn for testing. Participants will also be asked to bring in their infant, and the study team will measure the infant's weight and length.

Mirdametinib + Sirolimus for Multiple Myeloma
Bethesda, Maryland
Background:
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a type of blood cancer that affects a person s immunity. MM returns after treatment (relapse) in almost all people; MM may also not respond to initial treatment (refractory). Many people with relapsed refractory MM (RRMM) also have changes in their KRAS and NRAS genes. Researchers want to try a new drug treatment that targets cancer with these changed genes.
Objective:
To test 2 drugs (mirdametinib and sirolimus) in people with RRMM.
Eligibility:
People aged 18 and older with RRMM who have changes in their KRAS or NRAS genes.
Design:
Participants will be screened. They will have blood tests and imaging scans. They will have an eye exam and a test of their heart function. They will need to provide proof of their disease status and of their KRAS or NRAS status. If neither is available, the tests will be repeated.
Participants will have a bone marrow biopsy: A needle will be inserted into a hipbone to draw out some soft tissue.
This study will be done in two parts. In the first part of this study, we will find a safe dose of mirdametinib combined with sirolimus. In the second part, we will learn more about how mirdametinib combined with sirolimus may work against RRMM.
Mirdametinib (capsules) and sirolimus (tablets) are taken by mouth. Participants will take both drugs at home on a 4-week cycle. They will take mirdametinib twice a day for the first 3 weeks of each cycle. They will take sirolimus once a day, every day, during each cycle.
Participants will have study visits once a week during the first cycle, and then on the first day of subsequent cycles. Blood, heart, imaging scans, and other tests will be repeated.
Treatment with the study drugs will go on for 1 year. Then participants will have follow-up visits every 3 months for 4 more years.

Gene Therapy for Bubble Boy Disease
Bethesda, Maryland
Background:
X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency (XSCID) is a rare inherited disorder that affects the immune system. It is caused by a change in the IL2RG gene. Researchers are investigating a new type of gene therapy for people with XSCID. This technique, called base-edited stem cell transplants, involves collecting a person s own stem cells, editing the genes to repair IL2RG gene, and returning the edited cells to the person.
Objective:
To test base-edited stem cell transplants in people with XSCID.
Eligibility:
People aged 3 years and older with XSCID.
Design:
Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam. They may give blood, urine, and stool samples. They may have tests of their heart and lung function. They may have fluid and cells drawn from their bone marrow.
Participants will undergo apheresis. Blood will be taken from the body through a needle inserted into 1 arm. The blood will pass through a machine that separates out the stem cells. The remaining blood will be returned to the body through a different needle. The collected stem cells will undergo gene editing.
Participants will be admitted to the hospital 1 week before treatment. They will receive a central line: A flexible tube will be inserted into a large vein. This tube will be used to administer drugs and draw blood during their stay. They will receive drugs to prepare their bodies for the treatment.
The base-edited stem cells will be infused through the central line. Participants will remain in the hospital for at least 3 weeks while they recover.
Follow-up visits will continue for 15 years.

Glycerol Tributyrate for MELAS Syndrome and Optic Neuropathy
Washington, District of Columbia
This is a parallel arm non-randomized dose-escalation, open-label basket exploratory phase 1 clinical trial where Mitochondrial encephalopathy, lactic acidosis, stroke-like episodes (MELAS) and Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy-Plus (LHON-Plus) participants will undergo simultaneous enrollment in two disease-based arms and receive daily oral doses of glycerol tributyrate to assess its safety and potential for efficacy using clinical, biochemical, and molecular evidence.
This study will utilize a two-month baseline lead-in phase to establish and document the clinical baseline for each participant in both arms in order to compare the molecular and clinical parameters. This is clinically relevant in light of the high clinical heterogeneity among subjects affected by the same mitochondrial disease (MELAS or LHON-Plus). For ethical concerns prompted by the lack of treatment for these two intractable and progressive mitochondrial diseases, there will not be a placebo control group. Thus, each participant will act as their own control and receive oral doses of glycerol tributyrate, eliminating the need for a placebo. Considering the high clinical heterogeneity among participants affected by MELAS or LHON-Plus and some clinical divergence between MELAS and LHON-Plus, this strategy is beneficial to every enrolled participants, as each will receive the investigational drug, glycerol tributyrate. In addition, this approach will determine the subject-specific maximal optimized dose in a personalized medicine-based approach.
After approval of the IRB protocol from the Institutional Review Board Data and signed consent form from all participants, this investigational basket clinical trial has three phases spanning over 20 months:
* A baseline lead-in phase (2 months) to collect participant-specific baseline for clinical, biochemical, molecular and metabolic biomarkers that will be monitored throughout the subsequent dose-escalation and clinical phases.
* A dose-escalation phase (6 months) to determine the participant-specific maximum tolerated dose (MTD) during which participant-specific clinical and biochemical biomarkers are collected every month.
* A clinical phase at a fixed subject-specific MTD dose (12 months) to collect participant-specific clinical, biochemical, molecular and metabolic biomarkers and to perform three scheduled skin biopsies: at the outset, mid-point, and the end of this clinucal phase. We have planned for a 12-month-long clinical phase at a fixed participant-specific MTD considering the absence of reliable predictors that makes idiosyncratic disease-specific symptoms for MELAS and LHON-Plus impossible to forecast among participant for assessing the potential efficacy of glycerol tributyrate by monitoring clinical symptoms specific for each disease. During the 12-month-long time-frame, disease-specific clinical symptoms will be collected as preliminary evidence of efficacy of glycerol tributyrate using disease-specific biomarkers.
Finally, discharge procedure during which the clinical investigator will record non-serious adverse events or serious adverse events for 7 or 30 days, respectively, after the last day of study participation.

Azacytidine + Chemotherapy + Durvalumab for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Bethesda, Maryland
Background:
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common type of lung cancer. Surgery to remove the tumors is the standard treatment for people diagnosed with early stages of NSCLC. Despite complete removal of these tumors, many recur (happen again). An FDA-approved drug combination to treat early-stage NSCLC prior to the surgery is durvalumab plus standard chemotherapy. The FDA approved infusion drug azacytidine \[AZA\] is used to treat several diseases because it can rapidly kill dividing cells (including cancer cells) but it is not approved for NSCLC. An inhaled (aerosolized) form of AZA is also not approved for NSCLC. However, researchers want to know if an inhaled version of AZA can help improve treatment of people with NSCLC because inhaled AZA goes directly into the lungs with limited absorption into the bloodstream.
Objective:
To find the safest and most effective dose of inhaled AZA in participants with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that can still be removed by surgery.
Eligibility:
Adults aged 18 and older with operable early-stage NSCLC. Participants will be required to also enroll in NIH protocol 06C0014 which allows for pre- and post-treatment biopsies and bloodwork to be obtained for additional research studies.
Design:
Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam with blood tests. Their medical records will be reviewed. They will have imaging scans and tests of their heart and lung functions. Participants will be required to have a tissue sample (biopsy) taken of their tumor prior to receiving study drug and again during surgery after Cycle 3; airway tissue biopsies and collection of collect bronchial (lung) fluid may also be done.
Participants will receive the study treatment for 3 cycles. Each cycle is 21 days. They will need to come to the NIH Clinical Center (CC) on days 1-4 of Cycles 1-3.
AZA will be given as a drug mist that can be inhaled (like the type of mist in an asthma inhaler) using a nebulizer at the NIH Clinical Center (CC) for 3 days in a row (consecutive days) during the first week of each cycle. The participant will inhale the AZA drug mist for 20 to 30 minutes each time. Participants will also receive durvalumab and a specific 2-drug assigned chemotherapy by intravenous (IV) infusion on day 4 of each cycle.
Participants will have a follow-up visit 2 weeks after their last dose of study drugs. Then they will have planned surgery to remove the tumors.
Participants will have additional follow-up visits at the NIH CC about 1 and 3 months after the surgery, and then for every 3 months for up to 3 years.

Ketone-IQ for Sleep Apnea
Baltimore, Maryland
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a common medical disorder that is associated with reduced quality of life and higher risk of cardiovascular disease. Treatments for OSA and limited and not well tolerated. The investigator's lab has shown that a low carbohydrate, high fat ketogenic diet (KD) can reduce OSA severity. Since it can be challenging to adhere to a ketogenic diet, the investigators propose that ingesting exogenous ketones can be an alternative method to improve OSA. Specifically the investigators will examine the effect of taking a commercially available product (Ketone-IQ) at bedtime on overnight ketones and sleep quality. The investigators will also examine the effect of Ketone-IQ on sleep apnea severity, compared to placebo.
This project will examine the the preliminary efficacy of ingesting exogenous ketones before sleep on sleep apnea.

Desmopressin Test for Cushing Syndrome
Bethesda, Maryland
Background:
Cushing syndrome (CS) is a set of diseases that develop when the body produces too much adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). ACTH stimulates the production of a hormone called cortisol. Excess cortisol can cause serious issues, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, weight gain, and mood changes. Diagnosing CS early can be difficult. One test used to diagnose CS, the desmopressin (Desmo) stimulation test (DesmoST), has not been studied in enough people to know how accurate it is.
Objective:
To find ways to improve the DesmoST. Researchers especially want to learn more about how well the DesmoST identifies people with specific ACTH CSs: Cushing disease (CD) and ectopic ACTH syndrome (EAS).
Eligibility:
People aged 18 to 70 years who have or may have CS, especially CD or EAS. Healthy volunteers are also needed.
Design:
Participants with CS will have 3 DesmoSTs at least 48 hours apart. The procedure for each is as follows:
They will limit their fluid intake the day before each test. They will have nothing to eat or drink for 12 hours before the test.
For 1 of the tests, they will take a pill that contains a hormone (dexamethasone). They will take it around 11 pm the day before the test.
Desmo is given through a tube attached to a needle inserted into a vein.
Blood will be drawn a total of 6 times before and after the desmo is given.
Healthy volunteers will have 4 DesmoSTs. These will be 2 to 14 days apart.
All participants will have follow-up visits 3 to 5 days after each test. These visits may be by phone.

IC14 for Heart Failure
Charlottesville, Virginia
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if drug atibuclimab (IC14) works to treat adults hospitalized with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF). It will also learn about the safety of IC14. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Is the drug IC14 safe in patients with ADHF? What are the IC14 drug levels in the bloodstream after treatment with IC14? What is the impact of IC14 treatment on markers of disease in the bloodstream? What is the impact of IC14 treatment on measures of heart failure? There is no placebo arm in this study.
Participants will:
Take drug IC14 once via an intravenous infusion After the infusion, be visited in the hospital or visit the clinic 5 times for checkups and tests Answer questions about their medical status via a phone call 3 months after the infusion

Combination Therapy for Advanced Cervical Cancer
Charlottesville, Virginia
This phase I/II trial tests the safety and effectiveness of receiving external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) and brachytherapy along with chemotherapy, consisting of cisplatin and paclitaxel, and immunotherapy, consisting of bevacizumab and pembrolizumab, for the treatment of patients with stage IVB cervical cancer. EBRT is type of radiation therapy that uses a machine to aim high-energy rays at the cancer from outside of the body. Brachytherapy, also known as internal radiation therapy, uses radioactive material placed directly into or near a tumor to kill tumor cells. Cisplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It works by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of tumor cells. Paclitaxel is in a class of medications called antimicrotubule agents. It stops tumor cells from growing and dividing and may kill them. Bevacizumab is in a class of medications called antiangiogenic agents. It works by stopping the formation of blood vessels that bring oxygen and nutrients to tumor. This may slow the growth and spread of tumor. A monoclonal antibody, such as pembrolizumab, is a type of protein that can bind to certain targets in the body, such as molecules that cause the body to make an immune response (antigens). Giving EBRT and brachytherapy along with chemotherapy and immunotherapy may be a safe and effective way to treat patients with stage IVB cervical cancer.

Suvorexant for Alcoholism
Bethesda, Maryland
Background:
Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a leading cause of disease and death worldwide. New treatments for AUD are needed. Dopamine, a chemical that carries signals between brain cells, is thought to play a role in alcohol addiction. Researchers want to learn how Suvorexant, a drug used to treat sleep disorders, affects dopamine receptors in the brain.
Objective:
To see how Suvorexant affects dopamine receptors in people with AUD and in healthy people.
Eligibility:
People aged 18 to 75 years seeking treatment for AUD. Healthy volunteers are also needed.
Design:
Participants with AUD will stay in the clinic for at least 3 to 4 weeks for alcohol detoxification. They will receive normal treatment for AUD.
Suvorexant is a medicine used to treat sleep problem that is taken taken by mouth, once a day. Some participants will take the study drug. Others will take a placebo. The placebo looks like the study drug but does not contain any medicine. Participants will not know which they are taking.
Participants will wear a device that looks like a wristwatch to track their movements during their clinic stay.
Participants will have blood tests and 3 brain imaging scans before starting on the study drug: 2 positron emission tomography (PET) and 1 magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan. They will be injected with a radioactive tracer during each PET scan.
Participants will have tests to assess their thinking, memory, and attention. They will have sleep studies.
Imaging scans and other tests will be repeated at the end of the study.
Healthy volunteers will have 1 MRI and 2 PET scans. They will have tests to assess of their thinking, memory, and attention. They will wear a wristwatch like movement monitor for 1 week.

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 Autologous Adipose Cells Therapy for Hair Loss to the Power online platform.
