This study follows people over the long term after their islet transplant fully stops working. It aims to learn what happens after complete graft loss and monitor health outcomes over time.
Miami, FloridaAges 18–75 - NCT02038517Recruiting
Liver transplant waitlist study for people without diabetes
This study is for people with end-stage cirrhosis who are on the liver transplant waitlist at this hospital. It aims to understand how getting a liver transplant may affect people with and without diabetes-related issues.
Milan, MIAges 18–65 - NCT02026843Recruiting
Testing eye fluid markers in chorioretinal eye diseases
This study looks at substances (“biomarkers”) in the clear fluid inside the eye to better understand several eye conditions that affect vision. Your results may help doctors learn how these diseases work and how treatments might be chosen.
Daegu, KyungsangpookdoAges 20–80 - NCT01496625Recruiting
Biobank study for retinal diseases and comparison samples
This study collects and stores blood and eye-related medical information to help researchers better understand retinal diseases, including age-related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy. Your samples may also be used to compare people with retinal disease to people without it.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–120 - NCT00097292Recruiting
Preventing Type 1 Diabetes in At-Risk People
This study looks for people at high risk of developing type 1 diabetes (based on family history or blood markers) and follows them over time to understand disease development. The goal is to eventually prevent or delay type 1 diabetes in people who don't have it yet.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 2–45 - NCT01793168Recruiting
Rare disease registry and history study
This study keeps a registry (a structured list) of people with rare diseases and may also track how the condition changes over time. It can help researchers better understand rare illnesses and find gaps in care, which may improve future treatments.
Sioux Falls, South DakotaAges Any age - NCT01129297Recruiting
Severe obesity tissue study during surgery
This study collects small tissue samples during certain abdominal surgeries to better understand what drives severe obesity and related blood-sugar patterns. If you agree to the extra sampling, your information and samples may help researchers build a “biological atlas” that could guide future treatments.
Lille, NordAges 18–65 - NCT01945840Recruiting
Study how gut hormones change after weight-loss surgery
This study looks at how gut hormones and blood sugar control change after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. It may help researchers understand what supports healthier glucose levels after bariatric surgery.
London, Greater LondonAges 18–70 - NCT00341237Recruiting
Study linking genes and environment to health risks
This study looks at how your genes and your environment may affect your health. It may help researchers better understand who is most at risk so future prevention and care can be more personalized.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18–120 - NCT02019706RecruitingPhase 2
PET/CT scans to find the cause of ectopic Cushing syndrome
This trial tests several special imaging scans to help doctors locate the source of hormone overproduction in ectopic Cushing syndrome. It may help confirm where the problem is so treatment can be better targeted.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–80 - NCT00542230Recruiting
Blood sample study for sickle cell trait and controls
This study collects blood samples to learn more about sickle cell-related genetics and biology. You might benefit indirectly by helping researchers understand the condition, even though this is laboratory research rather than a medication trial.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT00777712Recruiting
Study of why wounds heal poorly in diabetes
This study looks at what makes some surgical wounds heal slowly, especially in people with diabetes. The goal is to understand the healing problem better so future treatments can be more effective.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 21–80 - NCT01999374Recruiting
Long-term follow-up for people with transplanted islet cells
This study checks how well transplanted islet cells are working over time and monitors long-term safety. If you previously received an islet transplant and are still using medicine to prevent rejection, you may be followed again.
Miami, FloridaAges 18–65 - NCT00977977RecruitingPhase 2
Rituximab plus cyclosporine for membranous kidney disease
This trial tests whether rituximab (an immune-targeting medicine) plus cyclosporine (another immune medicine) can better control protein leakage in the urine for people with idiopathic membranous nephropathy. It may help reduce long-lasting kidney damage risk when standard treatments like ACE inhibitor or ARB don’t control the protein level.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–90 - NCT00646022Recruiting
Family study of small intestine carcinoid tumors
This is a research study that follows families with small intestine carcinoid tumors (and related hormone-related tumors) to learn how these conditions progress over time. It may help doctors better predict risk and health needs for people in similar families.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT01999361Recruiting
Prevent new immune reaction after islet transplant failure
This study looks at ways to prevent the body from developing a new harmful immune reaction after an islet transplant no longer works. It may help people who have already lost a transplanted islet graft from getting harder-to-treat immune responses later.
