ArkhangelskAges 18 years+ - NCT03987633Recruiting
Study links health records and samples to understand health gaps
This study asks people affected by a specific illness (or their family member) to share saliva (and sometimes blood) and answer health and quality-of-life questions. The goal is to better understand and reduce health inequality by matching new information with medical records.
Wolverhampton, West MidlandsAges 6 years+ - NCT03995238Recruiting
Gait training for veterans with leg amputations
This study tests a walking rehabilitation plan to improve how you walk after a lower-leg amputation. It may help if your walking steps are uneven and you have diabetes and/or circulation problems in your legs.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 40–89 - NCT07701590Recruiting
New wound dressings for hard-to-heal leg and foot ulcers
This study tests a special amniotic membrane wound dressing compared to a synthetic wound matrix for stubborn diabetic foot ulcers or venous leg ulcers. It may help if your wound has not been healing well for over a month.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07703683Recruiting
Muscle health in metabolic and hormone diseases
This trial looks at how muscle health is affected by metabolic or hormone disorders, aiming to find better markers for muscle loss called sarcopenia.
Woluwe-Saint-Pierre - Sint-Pieters-WoluweAges 18 years+ - NCT07702461Recruiting
Resistance training survey for people on weight loss meds
This trial is an online survey to understand how people taking GLP-1 medications (like Ozempic or Wegovy) are doing with resistance training. If you're an adult on a stable dose of a GLP-1 med for weight or diabetes, your input can help shape better exercise advice.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06884059RecruitingPhase 1
Time-restricted eating for people with early kidney signs
This study tests whether eating only during a certain window each day helps people with type 2 diabetes and small amounts of protein in their urine (a sign of early kidney stress) improve their health. You'll use a smartphone app to log your meals and follow a daily eating schedule.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - NCT04008121RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Testing an eye imaging drug during retinal blood-vessel photos
This early safety study tests how well and how safely an investigational dye (MB-102) works during a special eye imaging test of retinal and choroidal blood vessels. It compares it to the commonly used fluorescein dye and may help doctors refine future eye imaging approaches.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT04008147Recruiting
Testing iron-related hormones and sugar levels in mid-pregnancy
This study looks at how the hormone hepcidin and blood sugar/metabolism change during pregnancy, and how they respond to either stopping iron supplements briefly or taking a specific prenatal iron-containing multivitamin. It may help doctors better understand iron balance in pregnancy and how it could affect metabolism.
ZurichAges 18–45 - NCT04014413Recruiting
Fecal transplant for gut and immune-related conditions
This trial studies whether fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT)—a medical procedure using stool from a screened donor to restore gut bacteria—can improve safety and outcomes for people with certain bowel, immune, and metabolic conditions. It may help if your symptoms are thought to be related to an unhealthy gut microbiome, though eligibility is broad and depends on specific safety factors.
Hong Kong, ShatinAges Any age - NCT04040777Recruiting
