Condition: Eye / Glaucoma
Investigator: Jeffrey Liebmann, MD
Status: Closed
Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide. The most important test to detect progression is visual field testing. However, this test is very subjective, often unreliable, and variable. One of the main causes of unreliable tests is the lack of attentiveness or concentration during the test. Previous studies have shown that listening…

We are conducting an academic study to understand how people solve problems related to health. In the study, participants will be presented with a hypothetical problem related to diabetes self-management and asked to use an online health application to explore information and propose a solution. We invite all participants between 18 and 65 years old, who…
Condition: Nutrition
Investigator: Richard Sloan, PhD
Status: Closed
We will enroll and randomly assign 30 sedentary, healthy overweight men and women to two groups. Participants will either start by consuming peanuts for 4 weeks, and then go on to exercise at high intensity intervals (HIIT) for 4 weeks, or the reverse order. We will test and compare the effect of peanuts and exercise on inflammation and heart rate…

We are currently looking for overweight (body mass index 25 kg/m2) men and women, age 18-65 y, to participate in a sleep study. To participate you must have been diagnosed with Obstructive Sleep Apnea within the past year, and have been prescribed continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) but not have not yet started treatment. This is a 2-phase,…
Condition: Obesity
Investigator: Judith Korner, MD
Status: Currently Recruiting
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if genetic variations are associated with the amount of weight loss with diet and while taking an FDA-approved medication for weight loss. The participation lasts ten months and includes six in-person visits at CUIMC with blood sampling and questionnaires, virtual nutritional counseling…
Condition: Liver Disease
Investigator: Julia Wattacheril, MD, MPH
Status: Currently Recruiting
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…
Condition: Healthy Volunteers
Investigator: Sharon Wardlaw, MD
Status: Closed
The goal of this project is to understand why bariatric surgery is such an effective treatment for obesity with a focus on brain mechanisms. Cerebrospinal fluid neuropeptides, hormones, and protein levels will be measured in subjects before and after bariatric surgery as compared with subjects before and after diet-induced weight loss. Participants in the…

Status: Closed
This 2-phase study aims to explore ways to predict who will respond well to the FDA approved weight loss drug lorcaserin and to understand the mechanisms that develop which limit drug efficacy. Subjects will be recruited for a 5-week crossover study (phase 1) with lorcaserin and placebo followed by treatment with lorcaserin for 24 weeks (phase 2). Phase 1…
