Diabetes Paid Clinical Trials in District Of Columbia

The effects of consuming non-nutritive sweeteners (NNS) during pregnancy and lactation on infant obesity and cardiometabolic disease risk are not well understood. In this project, pregnant women who frequently consume NNS will be randomly assigned to an NNS-restriction intervention (NNS restriction during pregnancy and lactation or during lactation only) or a control group (no NNS restriction) to determine whether NNS consumption during pregnancy and/or lactation affects infant body composition, maternal blood sugar during pregnancy, and the infants' gut microbiome and metabolome. The results of this study have the potential to shape recommendations around NNS consumption during pregnancy and lactation, thereby potentially improving maternal and infant metabolic health and reducing the global burden of obesity and cardiometabolic disease.

A Randomized, Multi-Center, Pivotal Efficacy and Safety Study Evaluating the RESET System for Glycemic Improvement in Patients with Inadequately Controlled Type 2 Diabetes and Obesity, the STEP-1 Study. A multi-center, double-blinded, randomized, sham-controlled trial to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the RESET System plus moderate intensity lifestyle and dietary counseling compliant with 2024 ADA Standard of Care as compared to a sham control receiving moderate intensity lifestyle and dietary counseling. Both the treatment and sham group will practice medical management compliant with STEP-1 Study Guidelines. Patients will be randomized 3 (RESET):1 (Sham). Read Less

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate cardiometabolic and inflammatory parameters in kidney transplant recipients after transitioning to a plant-based diet (PBD). The main aims of the study are as follows: * To test the feasibility of transiting renal allograft recipients who are \> 3 months post-transplant to a PBD * To study the effect of a PBD on cardiometabolic parameters in kidney transplant recipients * To assess the effect of a PBD on peripheral blood Th17/Treg ratio and systemic inflammation in kidney transplant recipients Participants will be asked to: * Complete a 2-week investigator-designed PBD transition program * Follow a PBD for a minimum of 16 weeks * Consent for blood draws, urine samples, and fecal samples along with physical exams * Complete intermittent food frequency questionnaires and quality of life questionnaires * Periodically meet with investigators and other study participants Researchers will compare baseline measurements with future measurements for each participant.

This is an interventional study that will evaluate the feasibility, implementation, and efficacy of an online, 12-week, plant-based, nutrition education program in a community setting. Data will also be analyzed to see if participation in the program results in reductions glycated hemoglobin levels, body weight, and cholesterol levels. Read Less

The investigators propose to conduct a pilot prospective cohort study to assess the impact of shared medical appointments (SMA) visits in underserved youth with poorly controlled type 1 diabetes (T1D). The trial will employ an enrollment visit, SMA visits every 3 months over a 12 month study period, followed by a 6-month observational period to assess feasibility and acceptability of SMA and the impact on glycemic control, self-management skills, and health related quality of life.

This initiative supports a real-world study of practice and physician prescribing patterns and a quality improvement initiative evaluating best practices (including clinical decision support, facilitated referral to cardiometabolic team-based care model, and general educational tools/resources) to im-prove use of guideline-directed therapeutics known to lower cardiovascular risk (CV) in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D).
