Healthy Paid Clinical Trials in Arizona

One reason people gain weight is eating more calories from food than what they need for energy over 24 hours. Metabolism is the amount of energy a person uses over 24 hours. Researchers want to study the relationship between changes in metabolism and how much a person eats. Objectives: To see how much food a person eats when the body's temperature is cooled. To study how changes in metabolism may alter the amount of food a person eats. Eligibility: Healthy people ages 18-55. Design: Participants will stay at NIH for 20 days. During the first 4 days, participants will have: Medical exam Electrocardiogram Blood and urine tests. One blood test includes drinking a sugar solution. DXA body composition scan Questions about foods they like, physical activity, and personal behavior Exercise test on a stationary bicycle Participants will spend 24-hour periods in a metabolic chamber. The chamber will be at normal room temperature or cooler. Some times, participants will eat a diet that matches their daily needs. Other times, they can eat as much as they wish from a vending machine. Participants will have blood and urine collected. Participants will swallow an ingestible wireless sensor and wear a small data recorder device. On the second to last day, participants will stay in the metabolic chamber but only consume water and non-caffeinated sugar-free beverages. Participants will come back for 1-day visits at six months and one year from the first admission. They will have blood and urine tests, and a DXA scan. They will answer questions on physical activity and food habits. Read Less

Background: Researchers use mixed meal tolerance tests (MMTTs) to look at how people s bodies respond to eating a meal. However, researchers do not agree on how to decide the number of calories to give in each meal. Some use fixed meals, which are the same size for everyone, and some use adjusted meals, based on the size of the person s body. Researchers want to know which MMTT is best to use for future research. Objective: To learn how fixed vs adjusted meals affect blood glucose levels in healthy people. Eligibility: Healthy people aged 18 years or older. Design: Participants will have 3 or 4 clinic visits of up to 8 hours in 8 weeks. Participants will have baseline tests: Their height, weight, and waist size will be measured. They will have an oral glucose tolerance test: A needle attached to a tube (IV) will be inserted into a vein in the arm. They will have a sugary drink. Blood samples will be taken from the tube at intervals up to 3 hours after the drink. They will have a body scan. Participants will have 2 MMTT visits. One will include a fixed meal and one will include an adjusted meal. They will have tests at both visits: Resting metabolic rate: A clear hood will be placed over the participant s head while they rest for 20 minutes. This will measure the oxygen they breathe in and out. MMTT. Participants will have 5 minutes to drink a liquid meal. Blood samples will be taken at intervals for the next 4 hours.... Read Less

This is a Phase 1, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, sequential, single- and multiple-ascending dose study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and immunogenicity of intravenous (IV) infusions and a single subcutaneous (SC) injection of AK006. The study will be conducted in 4 parts: a single-ascending dose part (Part A) in healthy participants, a multiple-ascending dose part (Part B) in healthy participants with an expanded cohort (Part C) in participants with chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU), and a single ascending dose SC injection cohort (Part D) in healthy participants.

The purpose of VAN00010 study is to assess the safety and immunogenicity of the investigational pentavalent meningococcal ABCYW vaccine in adults and adolescents. The study duration will be up to 12 months for all participants. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of povorcitinib on the QT/QTc Interval in healthy participants. Read Less

Background: Diet-induced thermogenesis (DIT) is the amount of energy one s body uses to eat food, absorb the nutrients from the food, and process those nutrients. Researchers would like to understand more about how changing the balances of protein, fat, carbohydrates, and total calories in the diet can affect DIT. Objective: To learn how different diets can change a person s DIT. Eligibility: Healthy people aged 18 to 60 years who have not intentionally lost weight in the past 6 months. Design: Participants will stay in a clinic for about 34 days. They will eat only the food provided. They will receive 8 different diets during the study, including 7 test diets. Participants will undergo multiple tests. They will be screened with blood and urine tests and a test of their heart function. During the first few days: Their waist, thigh, and neck circumference will be measured. They will have a DXA scan: They will lie on a padded table for about 20 minutes while an instrument measures the amount of fat in their body. They will be tested for diabetes. They will answer questionnaires about topics including eating behavior, hunger, and stress. Throughout the study: Their weight will be measured daily. Blood tests will be repeated. They will stay in a metabolic chamber a total of 9 times. They will remain in a closed room for 24 hours while researchers monitor the room temperature and levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide. Participants will collect all their urine for each 24-hour period. ... Read Less

Background: Diet is one of the most modifiable behaviors affecting health. But diet assessment measures that are based on self-report can be inaccurate. Researchers want better ways to address the role of diet in chronic disease. They want to see if stable isotopes can be used to better assess what people eat. Objective: To see if stable isotopes can help scientists identify things people eat. Eligibility: Healthy adults ages 18 to 65 Design: Participants will be screened with a medical history and physical exam. They will have blood and urine tests. These tests will be repeated during the study. Participants will stay in the inpatient unit of the NIH in Phoenix, Arizona, for 13 weeks. For 7 days, participants will eat a diet prepared by the NIH kitchen. They will get balanced meals that are 50% carbohydrates, 20% protein, and 30% fat. Then participants will be randomly placed on one of 3 diets containing different percentages of carbohydrates from soda. Participants height and weight will be measured. The amount of fat and muscle in their body will be measured by body scans that are similar to x-rays. Participants will have oral glucose tolerance tests. They will consume a sugar drink and then give blood samples over 3 hours. Participants will give hair and stool samples. Participants will complete a diet questionnaire. It assesses their food intake over 24 hours. Participants will complete behavioral questionnaires and computer performance tests. Participants will have fat biopsies taken from their stomach and thigh. Participants will have three 24-hour stays in a metabolic chamber. It is used to measure metabolism. Read Less

This 2-part study will evaluate the effect of coadministration of a Cytochrome P450, family 3, subfamily A (CYP3A) inhibitor, itraconazole (Part 1), and a high-fat/high-calorie meal and a modified gastric pH (Part 2), on the single dose drug levels of BMS-986368 in healthy participants. Read Less

The main aim of this study is to find out how more than one dose of TAK-279 changes the heart-rate corrected QT (QTc) interval of healthy adults. A QTc interval is a measurement on an electrocardiogram (ECG) and shows the time when the heart contracts until it finishes relaxing. Other aims are to learn about the effect of several doses of TAK-279 on other ECG measurements of healthy adults, how the body of a healthy adult processes TAK-279 and moxifloxacin (pharmacokinetics), and to learn about the side effects of TAK-279 and how well it is tolerated when given to healthy adults. The participants will be given TAK-279 and moxifloxacin or a placebo for 7 days. During the study, participants will need to stay at the clinic for 10 days. Read Less
