The proposed 6-month pilot Sequential Multiple Assignment Randomize Trial (SMART) has two aims. The first and primary aim is to determine the feasibility of conducting a full-scale SMART to compare weight-focused (i.e., weight loss) and weight-neutral (i.e., weight loss is not an explicit goal) adaptive biobehavioral interventions for improving cardiometabolic health in Black adults with overweight or obesity (BMI ≥27 kg/m2) plus at least one weight-related cardiometabolic condition (high blood pressure, prediabetes or diabetes, and/or high cholesterol). Biobehavioral interventions are treatment strategies that combine lifestyle-based behavioral interventions such as eating a healthy diet and exercise with medications. In this study, participants will be randomly assigned to receive either weight-focused or weight-neutral health coaching for 7 weeks. At week 8, participants will be identified as either "responders" or "nonresponders" to the initial interventions. The threshold for response in the weight-focused condition is greater than or equal to 3% weight loss. The threshold for response in the weight-neutral condition is engaging in greater than or equal to 150 minutes of moderate physical activity for the 7 days prior to the week 8 study visit. Responders to the initial interventions will continue with health coaching on a biweekly basis for weeks 9-26 of the intervention. Nonresponders will be re-randomized to either intensify the lifestyle-based intervention by receiving a membership to the YMCA and enrolling in group fitness classes or augmenting the health coaching with enhanced medical management in partnership with their established primary care provider. The second aim is to use clinical data from the pilot SMART to estimate treatment effects and the between-person variability in these effects. Because this is a pilot study, these estimates will not be used to make comparisons or draw conclusions on the comparative effectiveness of intervention conditions. Rather, these data will be used to generate preliminary effect sizes that can be used to estimate the sample size required for a full-scale trial. Clinical trial feasibility data will be collected on an ongoing basis throughout the study and clinical data will be collected prior to initiating the intervention (baseline) and at week 8 (response visit) and week 26 (post-intervention visit).
This is a Phase IV multicentre adaptive single-blinded randomized clinical trial if preemptively genotyping populations at risk of cardiovascular disease susceptible of receiving high or moderate doses of statin therapy is efficacious, cost-efficacious, and feasible within the Spanish National Health System when compared to the current standard of care. This trial is nested within the iPHARMGx master protocol
Eating healthy foods can help people manage health problems, like Type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Many people want to eat healthier, but changing eating behaviors is hard. Patients don't always know what foods to eat for their health problems and are hesitant to try foods that may be unfamiliar. These challenges are made more difficult when families have lower incomes, which makes accessing healthy foods difficult and trying new foods riskier when on a budget. Food is Medicine programs connect people to healthy foods that help them manage health problems. One example is a medically tailored grocery program. This program provides a patient with free groceries selected to help their medical condition. For example, a patient receives fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and low-salt, low-sugar foods if they have high blood pressure. Food resource coaching is another strategy for eating healthy food. This approach provides a coach that supports learning healthy eating habits when facing financial challenges by using available food resources. Among other strategies, a coach may teach the participant how to meal plan and shop at nearby stores to increase healthy and delicious eating patterns. In our study, the investigators will ask lower-income patients with at least one chronic health problem at a safety-net clinic if they want to participate in a Food is Medicine program. Patients that want to participate will be randomly placed in one of two groups. One group will get medically tailored groceries and food resource coaching from a free food market for four months. The other group will get free food from the same market for four months, but food will not be medically tailored, and they will not meet with a coach. Participants will have the option to continue getting food from the market at the end of the study if they want to. This study will help us learn what patients think about Food is Medicine programs and how to best carry out these programs in the future. The study will also help us determine if providing medically tailored groceries and food resource coaching helps patients improve their diet. The investigators will use what is learned in this study to create a larger and longer program that can be provided in safety-net clinics throughout Dallas-Fort Worth. Our main goal is to build a sustainable and helpful program for patients that may not otherwise have access to healthy foods and eating habits that set the foundation for better health.
The study aims to evaluate the effect of the nattokinase enzyme on inflammation and markers of cardiovascular risk in participants with dyslipidemia. A longitudinal double-blind randomized clinical trial will be carried out, involving hypertensive participants with dyslipidemia for two months.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effect of 12 weeks of 1.5 cups per day of fresh mango on glucose control, insulin resistance, lipids, inflammation, oxidation and body composition in individuals with prediabetes. The main questions it aims to answer are: - What is the effect of 1.5 cups per day of fresh mango over 12 weeks on indicators of glycemic control including fasting glucose and HgbA1c? - What is the effect of 1.5 cups per day of fresh mango over 12 weeks on fasting blood insulin and insulin resistance (HOMA-IR)? - What is the effect of 1.5 cups per day of fresh mango over 12 weeks on lipids including LDL-cholesterol, total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol and triglycerides? - What is the effect of 1.5 cups per day of fresh mango over 12 weeks on oxidative stress including oxidized LDL-cholesterol and 8-iso-PGF2-alpha? - What is the effect of 1.5 cups per day of fresh mango over 12 weeks on markers of inflammation including c-reactive protein, e-selectin, ICAM and VCAM? - What is the effect of 1.5 cups per day of fresh mango over 12 weeks on percent body fat, fat mass, and lean mass? Participants will be asked to: - Consume 1.5 cups of mango per day for 12 weeks, take a 4 week break, and then avoid consuming mangos for 12 weeks - Attend a prerandomization clinic prior to study - Attend three (3) clinics where blood will be drawn during weeks 0, 12, and 28 of the study - Attend eight (8) clinics where anthropometric measurements (height, weight, body composition) will be conducted and interaction with study clinicians will occur during weeks 0, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, and 28 of the study - Complete questionnaires and surveys in person and remotely, including six (6) 24-hour dietary recalls. Researchers will compare the 12 weeks participants consume mango to the 12 weeks the participants are not consuming mango to see if there are differences in glycemic indicators, insulin resistance, lipids, inflammation, oxidation and body composition between the two time periods.
Aim of the study: 1- Detect common types of familial dyslipidemia. 2- Significance and relationship between Epicardial fat thickness and familial dyslipidemia.
This pragmatic randomized controlled trial (RCT) with 272 patients with hypercholesterolemia aims to investigate the effectiveness of lipodia, an unguided digital health intervention for patients with hypercholesterolemia on plasma lipid levels and other clinical variables. Inclusion criteria are: age ≥ 18 years, presence of hypercholesterolemia, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels above the risk-adapted target, stability of potential drug treatments for at least four weeks, and stability of potential hormonal treatment for at least 6 months, next to provision of informed consent and sufficient knowledge of the German language. Exclusion criteria are plans to change potential drug treatment in the upcoming 6 months, the presence of homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) or type III hyperlipidemia, receiving plasmapheresis, Lp(a) > 50 mg/dL, triglyceride (TG) above 400 mg/dL, current pregnancy, planned major operations, liver dysfunction, end-stage renal failure, and other systemic diseases that might interfere with successful study participation. Patients will be randomized and allocated to either an intervention group, in which they will receive access to lipodia in addition to treatment as usual (TAU), or to a control group, in which they will receive only TAU. The primary endpoint will be a change in plasma LDL-C levels, with six months post-allocation (T2) being the primary timepoint for assessment of effectiveness. Three months post-allocation (T1) will serve as early-response assessment of endpoints. Secondary endpoints will be patient activation, the change in levels of other plasma lipids (non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL), TG), responder rate of LDL-C, self-reported health-related quality of life, and BMI.
