Bariatric surgery for severe NASH with advanced liver scarring
This study tests whether bariatric surgery (either sleeve gastrectomy or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass) improves severe nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) with advanced liver scarring in people who are obese. You may also need liver biopsies to confirm your liver disease before and after treatment.

Gastric bypass or sleeve surgery and lamotrigine drug levels
This study measures how well lamotrigine (a seizure/mood-stabilizing medicine) is absorbed after planned weight-loss surgery. It may help doctors understand whether medicine doses need adjustment after bypass or sleeve surgery.
TrondheimAges 18–70 - NCT03446456RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Vasopressin and pain perception study
This trial tests whether vasopressin, a nasal spray, changes how your brain processes pain. You will receive either the spray or a placebo and have an MRI scan to see brain activity.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–65 - NCT03460327Recruiting
Study of candesartan blood levels around weight-loss surgery
This trial measures how the blood pressure medicine candesartan is absorbed in your body before and after gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy. It may help doctors predict the right dosing for people taking this medication after bariatric surgery.
TrondheimAges 18–70 - NCT03449472Recruiting
Study of quetiapine levels after weight-loss stomach surgery
This trial studies how quetiapine (a mental health medicine) is processed in the body after gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy. It may help doctors better adjust dosing after weight-loss surgery.
TrondheimAges 18–70 - NCT03489278Recruiting
Support procedures study for ALS using electronic health records
This study is about improving the research process for people with ALS by using electronic health records from participating clinics. If you have ALS and receive care at an Epic-using center, you may be asked to help with consent and study procedures.
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03478761Recruiting
Registry for people with CYP24A1 vitamin D–related kidney stone risk
This is a research registry for people who have a confirmed CYP24A1 genetic change tied to high calcium and kidney stone problems. It helps researchers better understand who is affected and may guide future studies or care approaches.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges Any age - NCT03407833Enrolling by invitation
Study changes in the body after weight, gut, or liver treatment
This study looks at how the body’s insulin-sensitivity (how well your body uses sugar/insulin) and organ function change after certain medical procedures. It may help researchers understand why some people improve after surgery or liver transplant and guide future care.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT03395509Enrolling by invitation
Free screening program for diabetes and heart risks
This study looks at how well and how cost-effective a combined health screening is for diabetes and cardiovascular (heart and blood vessel) risks. You may be invited to attend screening around your 67th birthday.
ViborgAges 67–67 - NCT03476538Recruiting
Study gabapentin levels after stomach bypass or sleeve surgery
This trial measures how the medicine gabapentin moves through your body after gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy. It may help doctors better choose doses for people taking gabapentin after weight-loss surgery.
TrondheimAges 18–70 - NCT03403686Recruiting
Study eye treatment target for diabetic retinopathy
This study tests a new approach aimed at improving diabetic eye disease (diabetic retinopathy). It may help by changing inflammation and related processes in the eye, especially in people who have diabetes and eye changes.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 21–98 - NCT03460366Recruiting
Bariatric surgery and how enalapril moves in the body
This study looks at how the blood-pressure medicine enalapril is absorbed and processed after gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy. It may help doctors better predict dosing and effects after weight-loss surgery.
TrondheimAges 18–70 - NCT03334292Recruiting
Study of the natural course of Wilson disease
This study follows people who already have Wilson disease to understand how the condition changes over time. It may help researchers better predict future symptoms and improve care.

This trial follows people with genetic neurodegenerative (brain-wasting) disorders over time to better understand how the condition changes. The goal is to learn patterns that could help future treatments or care plans.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges Any age - NCT03449485Recruiting
Blood medicine study around weight-loss stomach surgery
This study looks at how a medicine (chlorprothixene) moves through the body before and after weight-loss surgery like gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy. It may help doctors understand the best timing and dosing of this medicine for people having these operations.
TrondheimAges 18–70 - NCT03492151Recruiting
Scans pancreatic cysts during a biopsy procedure
This trial tests a special camera (confocal laser endomicroscopy) used during an ultrasound-guided needle biopsy to help tell what type of pancreatic cyst is present. It may help doctors decide faster whether surgery is needed.
