Georgia Paid Clinical Trials

A Phase 2b study looks at the safety and efficacy of a treatment that is being investigated for people with certain diseases. This study will be conducted at multiple centers in the United States where participants with Gorlin Syndrome, also known as basal cell nevus syndrome, will be randomly placed into two groups; one group will receive the active topical gel, the other a topical vehicle gel, also know as placebo. Participants will apply this topical product to their face once a day for 6 months. The study will be looking at the number of new BCCs that develop on the faces of all the participants during this time. Read Less

The primary aim of this study is to assess if there is a difference in first pass reperfusion between the two devices. This is a randomized prospective study to assess if there is a difference in first pass reperfusion at two centers with large mechanical thrombectomy volumes. Data will also be collected on time-to treatment, outcomes and hemorrhagic complications. Read Less

Hypertension affects one-third of adults in the US. High salt diet is a key risk factor for elevated blood pressure (BP). The associations of gut microbiome with high salt diet and hypertension have been established in both animal and human studies. However, the underlying biological mechanisms linking sodium to BP elevation and gut microbiome alteration are not clear. Increasing evidence supports a pivotal role of leucine metabolism in hypertension. Leucine is initially catalyzed by the branched-chain amino acid aminotransferase enzyme (BCAT), producing α-ketoisocaproate (α-KIC), which can be further metabolized to β-hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate (HMB). Leucine/α-KIC/HMB metabolism pathway shows a promising involvement in the relationships among salt, gut microbiome, and elevated BP. Preliminary studies show that dietary sodium reduction increases circulating HMB, which is further associated with reduced BP, and that HMB treatment decreases Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio, and increases α-diversity and gut microbiota-derived short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). However, the leucine/α-KIC/HMB metabolism pathway has never been targeted in human studies. To establish causality, I propose a double-blind, two-stage randomized, placebo-controlled trial of sodium and HMB supplements for the following specific aims: Aim 1 will determine the effect of sodium supplement on leucine/α-KIC/HMB metabolism pathway. Aim 2 will determine the effect of HMB supplement on office BP and 24-hour ambulatory BP (Aim 2a), and α- and β-diversities and Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio (Aim 2b). Secondary Aim will test the hypothesis that HMB supplement could partially block the detrimental effects of sodium intake on BP and gut microbiota. The proposed project would help to uncover the role of leucine/α-KIC/HMB metabolism pathway in salt-induced hypertension and the alteration in gut microbiome. Most importantly, the project will provide the training opportunities for me as a junior faculty, to study the new area of gut microbiome, acquire new experience and skills to conduct human trials. In addition, this project will generate rich preliminary data on the role of leucine/α-KIC/HMB metabolism pathway in salt-induced BP elevation, and test the feasibility for developing future NIH R01 project.

Study to assess the diagnostic accuracy (sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive value) of DBV1605 for the diagnosis of non-Immunoglobulin E (IgE) mediated cow's milk allergy (CMA) in children with symptoms suggestive of non-IgE mediated CMA. Read Less

This is an open-label, Phase 1b study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of IDX-1197 and determine the MTD and RP2D in combination with XELOX or irinotecan in patients with advanced gastric cancer. Read Less

The purpose of the study is to determine if body composition differs between early time restricted eating (8-hour feeding period from 7 am to 3 pm) with exercise and late time restricted eating (8-hour feeding period from 3 pm to 11 pm) with exercise in overweight adults. Read Less

This study evaluates an investigational vaccine that is designed to protect humans against infection with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and is administered as a nasal spray. Specifically, the study analyzes the safety of, and the immune response to, the vaccine when administered to healthy children between the ages of 6 and 24 months who are seronegative to RSV.

An osteotomy is a standard surgical operation in which one or more bones are cut or lengthened or re-shaped. While planning for osteotomy, the surgeon sometimes uses a custom-manufactured cutting guide. The investigators are testing a relatively new approach called mixed reality navigation in planning this surgery in this study. For the purpose of this study, the investigators will compare the accuracy of performing osteotomies with the aid of mixed reality navigation as compared to osteotomies that were performed using prefabricated cutting guides for patients in the past few years.

In this randomized clinical trial, the investigators are comparing two different approaches for Esthetic crown lengthening- a minimally invasive approach using piezoelectric (PZ) and a traditional open flap approach (OF). Read Less

Current NICU protocol introduces human milk fortifier at 8 days of feeding. This study will introduce human milk fortifier at day 1. The primary outcome is the effect on growth velocity at 28 days and 36 weeks post menstrual age. Read Less

Our objective here is to improve the patient's compliance and accurate capture of patient reported bowel and abdominal symptoms, by utilizing a phone application that interactively records each bowel movement or leakage event and other bowel symptoms. Such an electronic stool diary may relieve the burden of using a paper daily stool diary. We will compare and validate the electronic stool diary with the paper stool diary. Read Less
