Seeking participants for a study about how individuals prefer to receive nutrition recommendations to support health management and preferences for visualizing health data. Participants may be invited to complete a 60-minute session to answer questionnaires and evaluate different styles of nutritional recommendations. In addition, they may be invited to…
A future without Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) starts with you. Get screened! Thanks in large part to T1D family members, we understand T1D as a disease that progresses in three distinct stages. This new definition in conjunction with TrialNet's Pathway to Prevention screening, allows for earlier detection and intervention.
The overall goal of this project is to determine whether the timing of your meals and sleep influences health. We are looking for adults aged 30 and older with type 2 diabetes to participate in a sleep study. Participants must be willing to keep a written food and sleep record for 7 consecutive days. Participants who complete this study will receive a total…
The purpose of this research study is to determine whether rosuvastatin is safe and can help people living with cirrhosis lead longer, healthier lives. The study drug, rosuvastatin, is investigational, meaning it has not yet been approved for market use for this disease condition by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Participants will…
The DROP-AKI Trial is studying whether droxidopa, an FDA-approved medication for low blood pressure, can help patients with liver cirrhosis who develop kidney problems during hospitalization. Although droxidopa is FDA-approved for certain types of low blood pressure, it is not approved to treat patients with cirrhosis of the liver who develop kidney injury…
We are conducting a research study on the effect of high insulin levels on the buildup of excessive liver fat ("fatty liver disease") in people at risk for type 2 diabetes. We are seeking adult volunteers, ages 18-65, who have obesity with a body mass index of 30-45, and have been diagnosed with, or are at risk for, prediabetes and metabolic…
We are conducting a research study on the effect of high insulin levels on the buildup of excessive liver fat ("fatty liver disease") in people at risk for type 2 diabetes. We are seeking adult volunteers, ages 18-65, who have obesity with a body mass index of 30-45, and have been diagnosed with, or are at risk for, prediabetes and metabolic…
This study is examining how oral vancomycin, an antibiotic sometimes used to treat Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC), affects the bacteria living in the gut (the microbiome). The study is observational, meaning it does not alter medical care or prescribe treatment-participants will continue their usual therapy as decided by their doctors. The study will…
The purpose of this study is to learn about the causes of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). This is the most common type of liver disease, affecting millions of people in the United States alone. The incidence of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) is very similar to that of obesity, type-2 diabetes, and the metabolic syndrome, suggesting a…
This study is evaluating how well odevixibat, an approved medication for Alagille Syndrome (ALGS), works in real-world clinical practice and how safe it is for long-term use. Participants with ALGS who are receiving odevixibat as part of their usual medical care will be followed for about five years. During this time, information from routine clinic visits…
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the study drug, pemvidutide, as a possible treatment for alcohol associated liver disease or ALD. ALD is a condition in which excessive alcohol use (commonly defined as more than 2 drinks per day for women and 3 drinks per day for men) leads to liver inflammation and damage. Pemvidutide is investigational, meaning…
TReatment for ImmUne Mediated PathopHysiology (TRIUMPH) is a multi-center, three-arm clinical trial of immunosuppressive therapy for children with acute liver failure. This is a double-blind study, so the study doctors and participants will not know to which arm the participants are assigned. The study will determine if corticosteroids or equine anti-…
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the investigational drug (maralixibat) is safe and effective in children and participants who have cholestatic liver disease with pruritus (itch) that has been responding to other therapies, and who have no other treatment options.If you have any questions regarding this study, please contact the Transplant…
We are conducting a research study on how insulin controls blood sugar in both healthy people and those at risk of type 2 diabetes. We are seeking adult volunteers, aged 18-65, who have body mass indices either in the lean range (18-25 kg/m2) or in the obesity range (30-45 kg/m2) but who do not have prediabetes or diabetes. Participants will undergo a…
The purpose of this study is to learn whether wearable technology and the biometric data (e.g. heart rate, activity level, sleep) collected from it can be useful to detect clinical changes in those with liver disease, so that in the future it may help to prevent complications. The wearable technology that will be utilized in this study is the Oura Ring.…
The purpose of this study is to better understand how common and how severe pruritis (itching) is in children and adults under 21 years of age with Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC). The study involves the completion of two short online surveys. If you have any questions regarding this study, please contact the Transplant Clinical Research Center (TCRC).
TARGET-Liver Disease (TARGET-LD) is an observational research study to learn more about adult patients who have been diagnosed with a chronic liver disease (CLD). This includes collecting information about their health and the medications they take to manage their disease. Participation in this study will be approximately 15 years. If you have any questions…
In PRECIDENTD, we hope to learn which diabetes medications work best to reduce the risk of heart and kidney disease in people with type 2 diabetes. People with type 2 diabetes are twice as likely to have heart disease or a stroke compared to someone who does not have diabetes, and they are likely to have heart disease or stroke at a younger age. People with…
We are recruiting volunteers, aged 18-70, for a research study on the buildup of excessive liver fat ("fatty liver disease") in people with or at risk for type 2 diabetes because their bodies are resistant to the actions of the blood sugar-lowering hormone, insulin. To do this, we seek to temporarily induce or accentuate insulin resistance in 14…
