NCT ID: NCT05924529 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementia

Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD) Prevalence in American Samoa

Start date: September 30, 2022
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The goal of this study is to learn about ADRD prevalence within the Samoan population. Participants will be administered a series of cognitive assessments to determine cognitive status and a population-based prevalence of Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and ADRD. Blood samples will also be collected from the participants for genetic and plasma biomarker analysis.

NCT ID: NCT05356884 Active, not recruiting - Clinical trials for Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2

Adolescent-mediated Family Diabetes Intervention: American Samoa

Start date: July 7, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this project is to test the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of an adolescent-mediated intervention designed to improve the glycemic control and self-care practices of a parent/grandparent. The preliminary impact of the intervention on adult glycemic control (HbA1c) and self-care behaviors, as well as adolescent risk factors, will be explored with the goal of informing future programs that can be scaled to reduce diabetes burden and eliminate health disparities among at risk, ethnic minority groups.

NCT ID: NCT04500171 Active, not recruiting - Colorectal Cancer Clinical Trials

Colorectal Cancer Screening Assessment Study

Start date: September 21, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This study, led by the American Samoa Community Cancer Coalition's INdigenous Samoan Partnership to Initiate Research Excellence (INSPIRE) and the UH Cancer Center's project team including Dr. Cassel, will utilize a community-based and culturally relevant process to assess the uptake of fecal occult blood testing (FOBT) using tailored colorectal cancer patient education materials for those with inadequate health literacy. Our primary outcomes include: 1) process to develop "suitable" and "comprehensible" health promotion materials for populations in English and Samoan with various health literacy levels, 2) commitment to use the FOBT Colocare home kit, and 3) use of a FOBT Colocare home kit.

NCT ID: NCT00961675 Completed - Clinical trials for Acute Otitis Externa

FST-201 in the Treatment of Acute Otitis Externa

Start date: August 31, 2009
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of FST-201 compared to Ciprodex in the treatment of acute otitis externa. This study will be conducted at one site, the Lyndon B. Johnson (LBJ) Tropical Medical Center, Department of Otolaryngology, in Pago Pago, American Samoa.

NCT ID: NCT00850824 Completed - Clinical trials for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Community Health Workers in Diabetes Care in American Samoa

DCAS
Start date: October 2007
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

As type 2 diabetes prevalence increases in the United States, the burden of diabetes falls more on groups with greater barriers to care, such as language and cultural differences, and lower economic resources. Healthy People 2010 targeted diabetes as one of six diseases for the elimination of racial and ethnic health disparities. These disparities extend to the US Territory of American Samoa, where the proportion of adults >18 years with diabetes was 19.6% in 2002, compared to 6.4% of US adults. There have been no reported diabetes interventions in Samoans in the US. The overall purpose of this application is to translate recent advances in diabetes care into clinical practice for the American Samoan community by improving methods of health care delivery and methods of diabetes self management. We will conduct a randomized clinical trial to test the effectiveness of a community health worker (CHW) and primary-care coordinated intervention to provide outreach, education and support to 352 type 2 diabetes patients and their families in American Samoa. The CHW intervention will utilize evidence-based algorithms and protocols to prompt risk behavior interventions, communication with health care team, and visit schedule. The individual treatment action plans are also guided by the Precede-Proceed Model. The outcomes at a one-year follow-up will include glycosolated hemoglobin (HbA1c), cardiovascular disease risk factors, diet and exercise behaviors, and adherence to diabetes care guidelines. The study hypothesis is that diabetes patients in the CHW trial arm will have lower HbA1c levels, lower cardiovascular disease risk factor levels, increased exercise behaviors and healthy dietary intakes and greater adherence to diabetes care such as adherence to prescribed medications, keeping medical appointments for diabetes care and specialty referrals. The intervention builds upon best clinical practices for CHWs in diabetes care by translating effective strategies to American Samoans, while also extending prior CHW research, by using a model that is potentially replicable in other ethnic minority populations suffering the burden of diabetes.

NCT ID: NCT00377169 Completed - HIV Infections Clinical Trials

Collection of Blood Samples From SMART Study Participants for Future Genetic Studies

Start date: n/a
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

The purpose of this study is to collect blood samples from SMART study participants to use in future genetic studies.

NCT ID: NCT00183261 Completed - HIV Infections Clinical Trials

Immune Response to a Therapeutic HIV Vaccine Followed by Treatment Interruption in Patients With Acute or Recent HIV Infection

Start date: March 2006
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the HIV vaccine MRKAd5 HIV-1 gag/pol/nef followed by treatment interruption can increase immune system function in adults with acute or recent HIV infection who have started taking anti-HIV drugs.
