There are about 173942 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in United States. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
The purpose of this study is to assess the validity of the PortionSize™ app to quantify children's own dietary intake and children's intake by parents or caregivers.
This research is to expand a virtual weight loss and weight maintenance program to rural counties of Illinois. The program uses dietary and lifestyle modifications for adults with obesity. The EMPOWER weight loss program has proven to be effective in 3 previous trials. In this research, we target a rural participant population. Individuals in rural locations are more likely to be affected by obesity and have unique barriers to weight loss related to geographic isolation including access to health care, preventative care, grocery stores, social networks, internet, and cell service.
This study is a randomized, double-blind, sponsor-open, placebo-controlled study. It will assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of orally administered single and multiple doses of EDP-323 in healthy adult subjects.
The researchers have developed a multifunctional rehabilitation device that will be tested in this feasibility trial across three sub-studies: (i) dual session in-lab; (ii) multi-session in-lab and (iii) in the participant's home. A long-term outcome is to test possible benefits of this device (if accepted by the user Parkinson population) on motor and cognitive functions in a clinical trial in a future study. Participants who receive a device during the in-home trial will have the option to keep the device for up to two years in an open label extension. During this extension, participants can optionally provide feedback on their user experience such as discomfort.
Blood flow restricted (BFR) resistance exercise has been shown to improve skeletal muscle adaptations to low load resistance exercise. One of many adaptations with resistance training is neural adaptations that occur within the first few weeks of resistance training. It has been hypothesized that these neural adaptations are blunted when using blood flow restricted exercise. Therefore, the investigators propose to examine the muscle activation created by resistance exercise with different intensities with blood flow restriction and without blood flow restriction in sedentary compared to resistance-trained individuals. The investigators will recruit and completely study up to 30, previously untrained and resistance-trained, healthy, college-aged (18-40 years) males. Participants will come in the laboratory for 5 total visits. These visits will consist of a screening/familiarization visit, a strength testing visit, and 3 acute exercise visits. The acute exercise visits will consist of 2 blood flow restricted resistance sessions at different intensities and a traditional high load resistance exercise session. The 3 acute exercise visits will be randomized. The investigators will measure muscle mass (appendicular lean mass) using Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry, muscle strength and endurance using isotonic and isokinetic testing, and muscle activation using surface electromyography. The investigators will also use near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) to measure the muscle tissue (oxygen) saturation index (TSI) in the vastus lateralis during exercise. Finally, the investigators will also draw blood before and after each exercise session to measure hormones, metabolites, and markers of inflammation using commercially available assays (e.g., ELISAs).
Sweet cherries (Prunus avium) are a good source of bioactive compounds including dietary fiber and phytochemicals which have been credited with multiple health benefits, including anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties as well as preventing obesity-related metabolic disorders. However, most studies have shown such benefits using in vitro or animal models. The aim of this study was to examine the influence of DSC consumption on obesity-associated inflammation, metabolic disorders, cognitive impairment, and gut dysbiosis in obese individuals.
The goals of this study are to 1) pilot the feasibility of a novel meal kit delivery intervention in families and children with food insecurity and obesity and 2) evaluate the implementation of the pilot intervention.
Phase 1/2, first-in-human, 2-part study to assess topically administered eyedrops of INV-102 during 2-week repeat dosing in subjects with moderate symptomatic dry eye disease. Part 1 will be a Dose Escalation phase across 4 cohorts of subjects to assess safety and tolerability of INV-102, and Part 2 will be an Optional Dose Expansion phase in a fifth cohort of subjects, pending the outcome of Part 1, to assess efficacy of INV-102 in the treatment of moderate symptomatic dry eye disease.
This study is to investigate the tolerability and safety of a ketone promoting ingredient, called a ketone ester (KE), in healthy older adults. This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial aims to characterize the tolerability and safety of daily consumption of the KE in healthy older adults (over 65 years old) over 12 weeks. Study participants will complete Beverage Tolerability Questionaires (BTQ) to rate any side side effects throughout the study. Safety will also be assessed by collection of blood and urine samples, vital signs, body weight, and monitoring of adverse events (AEs). The study will also collect pilot data to explore possible effects of KE on physical function, cognitive function and quality of life. The findings of this study will be used to facilitate future mechanistic studies of KE in aging.
The primary goal of this study is to evaluate the safety and reactogenicity of multi-component vaccines mRNA-1045 (Influenza and RSV) and mRNA-1230 (influenza, RSV, and SARS-CoV-2) compared with mRNA-1010 (influenza), mRNA-1345 (RSV), and mRNA-1273.214 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccines in healthy older participants.
