Filter by:Researchers are looking for a better way to treat people who have heartburn, indigestion, and problems due to excessive stomach acid. These are common problems which can affect daily life and disturb sleep during the night-time. Heartburn is the burning sensation or pain in the chest which occurs when stomach acid rises up in the food pipe (esophagus). Calcium carbonate tablets are used to treat heartburn, indigestion, and related digestive problems. Calcium carbonate works by neutralizing the excess acid in the stomach. The study treatment is a new bi-layer calcium carbonate tablet that has two layers. One layer quickly releases calcium carbonate aimed to provide quick relief (called immediate release) while the other layer releases calcium carbonate slowly to make the relief last longer (called sustained release). In this study, bi-layer calcium carbonate tablets will be given to healthy men for the first time. This study will provide information on how the new bi-layer tablet works inside the body. The main purpose of this study is to learn about how the new bi-layer calcium carbonate tablet changes the average acidity levels (measured using pH) compared to the standard calcium carbonate tablet during the night-time. For this, researchers will measure the acidity levels in the upper part of the stomach at regular intervals during the night-time. The participants will be randomly (by chance) assigned to one of two treatment groups: Participants in the first group will take the treatments at night. Participants in the second group will take the treatments during the day. All participants in both groups will take 2 bi-layer tablets and 2 standard tablets after a meal with a gap of 6 to 8 days between treatments. However, in each group, half the participants will receive the bi-layer tablets first while the other half will receive the standard tablets first. Each participant will be in the study for around 52 days with up to 4 visits to the study site. This includes: 1. visit about 28 days before the treatment starts during which the doctors will confirm that the participant can take part in the study 2. visits for treatment with a gap of 6-8 days between each treatment, and 1 visit 7 to 14 days after the treatment ends during which the doctors will monitor the participants' health. During the study, the doctors and their study team will: check participants' overall health by performing tests such as blood and urine tests, and check heart health using an electrocardiogram (ECG) take images of the stomach at different times after taking the treatment measure acidity level (pH) using a device called pH probe that is inserted into the upper part of the stomach ask the participants questions about how easy it is to take the study treatment ask the participants what adverse events they are having. An adverse event is any medical problem that a participant has during a study. Doctors keep track of all adverse events, irrespective of whether they think it is related to the study treatment, or not. As this study is conducted in healthy men who will not gain any benefit from this treatment, access to the study treatment after the study is not planned.
This study will look at two different oral formulations and compare them. The medicine in the study is called NDec and it is a combination of two medicines (decitabine and tetrahydrouridine). Both medicines are new for the treatment of sickle cell disease, a rare blood disease. The purpose of the study is to compare the absorption of two different NDec versions (a tablet and a capsule). Participant will either get first the tablet and then the capsule, or the other way around. The order in which participant get them is decided by chance. The study will last for about 12 to 45 days depending on the wash-out period between the two stays in the clinic and from recruitment to the first study day.
The primary objectives of this study are to investigate the safety and tolerability of VRG50635 and to determine how VRG50635 is absorbed by the body.
The primary purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of AG-181 in healthy participants after oral administration of single ascending dose (SAD) of AG-181 in Part 1 and multiple ascending dose (MAD) in Part 2 along with the effect of food on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of single oral doses of AG-181 in healthy participants in Part 3.
This study is conducted to support a 2-dose series (1+1 vaccination schedule) for immunization of individuals from 6 months of age. The study is designed to evaluate the non-inferiority of the immunological response of MenACYW conjugate vaccine to Nimenrix® after the completion of the 2-dose series (1+1 vaccination schedule), with the first dose (priming dose) being given at 6-7 months of age to MenACWY- naïve healthy infants and the second dose (booster dose) given at 12-13 months of age. This study will also describe additional immunogenicity parameters and safety of MenACYW conjugate vaccine and Nimenrix® in the same population of participants.
Background: As people age, the cells in the pancreas that produce insulin begin to release less of this hormone, and levels of blood glucose (sugar) rise. This can lead to illnesses such as diabetes. Urolithin A (UA) is a natural nutritional supplement that may improve how the body controls blood glucose. Objective: To learn if UA improves levels of insulin and other hormones that help control blood glucose. Eligibility: People aged 55 years and older with a body mass index of 27 or higher. Design: Participants will have 6 clinic visits over 8 weeks. Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam with blood and urine tests and a test of their heart function. UA gelcaps are taken by mouth every morning at home. Half of participants will take UA. The other half will take a placebo. The placebo looks like the study drug but does not contain any medicine. Participants will not know which they are taking. Participants will have tests during the study including: Oral glucose tolerance: Participants will drink a sweet liquid. Blood will be drawn at intervals over the next 3 hours. Continuous glucose monitor: A sensor with a needle that goes just under the skin will be placed on the upper arm. Participants will wear this sensor throughout the study. Exercise. Participants will walk on a treadmill while their heart rate, hearth rhythm, and blood pressure are monitored. They will walk in a hallway at normal and fast paces. Imaging scans of the thigh; scans of the brain are optional....
The aim of this study is to investigate different formulations of S-337395.
Background: Proteins are essential to the health and structure of the cells that make up body tissues. Most proteins become damaged over time and are replaced with new ones. This process is called "protein turnover." Stress, disease, and aging can affect this process. Researchers want to better understand how aging affects protein turnover. Objective: To measure rates of protein turnover in healthy adults. Eligibility: Healthy people aged 20 years and older with a body mass index between 20 and 30. Design: Participants will have 6 study visits over 4 to 6 weeks. They will fast 12 hours before each visit. Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam, with blood and urine tests and tests of their heart function. They will lie down while blood pressure cuffs are used on their arms and legs. Participants will be given bottles of heavy water to drink at home on a schedule for 21 days. Each bottle holds about 3.5 tablespoons. Heavy water is odorless, colorless, and tasteless, like normal drinking water. It is safe to drink and has been used in research for many years. Participants will have tests during study visits, including: Imaging scans of a leg. Exercise on a treadmill. Biopsies of muscle, skin, and fat: Small samples of tissue will be cut from the calf and abdomen. Resting metabolic rate: Participants will lie still and breathe into a mask for 20 minutes. Knee/grip strength: Participants will do strength tests with their legs. They will squeeze a device with their hands. D3-Creatine: Participants will take 1 pill of D3-Creatine, which occurs naturally in muscle.
The primary objective of the study is to show equivalence in pharmacokinetics (PK) of BIIB800 and Actemra following SC administration of a single dose to healthy male participants. The secondary objective of the study is to evaluate PK over time, clinical safety, pharmacodynamic (PD) profiles and immunogenicity of BIIB800 and Actemra.
