Healthy Paid Clinical Trials in Illinois

The iCaRe2 is a multi-institutional resource created and maintained by the Fred \& Pamela Buffett Cancer Center to collect and manage standardized, multi-dimensional, longitudinal data and biospecimens on consented adult cancer patients, high-risk individuals, and normal controls. The distinct characteristic of the iCaRe2 is its geographical coverage, with a significant percentage of small and rural hospitals and cancer centers. The iCaRe2 advances comprehensive studies of risk factors of cancer development and progression and enables the design of novel strategies for prevention, screening, early detection and personalized treatment of cancer. Centers with expertise in cancer epidemiology, genetics, biology, early detection, and patient care can collaborate by using the iCaRe2 as a platform for cohort and population studies. Read Less

The objective of this study is to assess the bioavailability (BA) of venetoclax new high drug load hot melt extrusion-03 (HME-03) tablet formulation at two different tablet strengths relative to the commercial venetoclax tablet formulation under high-fat conditions in healthy female volunteers. Additionally, this study will assess the potential food effect on the BA of the venetoclax HME-03 tablet at the highest dosage strength. Read Less

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate post-meal appetite hormones and appetite ratings, assessed using visual analog scale (VAS) questionnaires, in response to proprietary beverages in generally healthy adults. Read Less

Investigators plan to perform a pilot study that aims to characterize the microbiome of human vitiligo patients with both active and stable disease and compare this to the microbiome of age and sex matched controls. The investigators aim to answer the question whether the gut and skin microbiome of patients with vitiligo differs from the general population. Read Less

This study will randomly assign 2,300 older adults on waiting lists at fourteen Meals on Wheels programs in Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Tennessee, Texas, North Carolina, South Carolina, and California into two groups who will receive: (a) daily delivery of meals, five days a week or (b) a shipment of 10 frozen meals, every two weeks. Researchers will examine participants' Medicare claims to understand if differences in healthcare utilization occur between the two groups within six months after they start receiving meals. Researchers will also ask participants questions prior to receiving meals, and again at three months, to understand how meals impact their ability to obtain food, their feelings of loneliness, and their overall quality of life. The primary study outcome will be the ratio of days spent in institutional settings (i.e., hospital, nursing home) in the six months after participants begin receiving meals. The secondary outcomes include the ratio of days spent in institutional settings in the three months after participants begin receiving meals, food insecurity, subjective isolation/loneliness, and health-related quality of life. The team will also examine differences in dietary intake between the two groups as an exploratory outcome. Read Less

The main objective of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and immunogenicity of subcutaneous (SC) ABBV-701 in healthy adult western and Asian participants. Read Less

A subset of young adults participating in the American Lung Association (ALA) Lung Health Cohort (LHC) will be imaged using Hyperpolarized 129Xe MRI to assess lung structure and function. Images will be used to improve the understanding of lung health and early lung abnormalities that may lead to chronic lung disease. Read Less

The research study will be conducted to obtain baseline, or "normative" information to compare an air charged HRAM catheter to traditional solid catheter measures using the IAPWG standardized testing protocol and London classification. Read Less

The aim of this study is to evaluate how vibration of the tendons enhances arm and hand training in survivors of chronic stroke. The investigators hypothesize that wrist/elbow robotic training, combined with body awareness training will improve arm and hand function in individuals with chronic stroke. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to have a better understanding of the normal blood levels of AMH in females from 0-18 years of age and how the blood AMH levels correspond to a female's reproductive development. Read Less

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if increasing adherence to a Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay (MIND) diet pattern improves brain and heart health relative to a healthy control diet in middle-aged adults. Our research team will evaluate three different groups: the first group will be chosen using a predictive analytics model that predicts who will benefit most from the MIND diet, the second group will follow the MIND diet without being pre-selected, and the third group will eat a standard healthy diet to serve as a comparison. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the MIND diet improve cognitive performance and heart health relative to a control diet? How does the health impact of the MIND diet in participants pre-identified through predictive analytics compare to those without such pre-selection? Which of the three groups - predictive analytics selected MIND diet group, standard MIND diet group, or healthy control - demonstrate the most significant improvements in cognitive and cardiovascular health over the course of the trial? Participants will: Consume one meal that follows the MIND diet or a control meal every day for 3 months. Visit the lab before and after the 3 months of meals for tests. Keep a record of the food they eat during the study. Read Less
