The state of North Carolina currently has 17 active clinical trials seeking participants for Healthy research studies. These trials are conducted in various cities, including Durham, Winston-Salem, Charlotte and Chapel Hill.
Long-term Effectiveness of the Antiobesity Medication Phentermine
Recruiting
The purpose of this research study is to understand the long-term effects of the drug phentermine on weight, blood pressure, other health outcomes, and safety. Phentermine has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for weight management since 1959, but it has not been approved for long-term use (i.e., treatment lasting more than 12 weeks). This trial is designed to learn about the long-term effects of phentermine for up to 2 years because obesity is a chronic disease and expe... Read More

Defining a PK and PD Model for Peripheral Analgesia After IV Oxytocin
Recruiting
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about oxytocin ( a naturally occurring hormone made in the brain that transmits messages) and the effects it may have on thermal heat pain after intravenous administration. The main question it aims to define is the time course of change in pain score after a 5 minute heating of the skin administered at intervals during and following infusion of intravenous oxytocin in order to create a Pharmacokinetic and a Pharmacodynamic model for oxytocin-induced a...

Physical Activity, Alzheimer's Disease and Cognition Relative to APOE Genotype
Recruiting
Physical activity and Alzheimer's disease (PAAD-2) is a randomized control trial that will assess the effects of exercise on middle-aged (40-65 years) cognitively normal adults who have a heightened risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD) due to family history (FH+). The investigators will also assess the extent to which this effect is moderated by apolipoprotein epsilon-4 (APOE4) carrier status, and will gather critical new experimental evidence on the use of physical activity to improve cognitive per...

A Biospecimen Collection Study of Leukapheresis-Derived Circulating Tumor Cells, Immune Cells, and Progenitor Cells.
Recruiting
Primary Objective: This is a study to investigate the feasibility of harvesting, expanding, and selecting T lymphocytes from cancer patients and healthy volunteers. The preliminary objective of this study is aimed at selecting PD-1+ and CTLA4+ T cells and other cellular fractions from peripheral blood of cancer patients and healthy volunteers by using specific conjugated antibodies, evaluating their functional ex vivo anti-tumor cytotoxicity against targeted autologous tumor cells.
