Bisphosphonate Use to Mitigate Bone Loss Secondary to Bariatric Surgery
NCT04922333
Recruiting
The purpose of this research study is to see whether receiving a bisphosphonate medication called risedronate can reduce bone and muscle loss following bariatric surgery. Participation will involve up to 6 study visits and last about 1 year. Risedronate is a medication that prevents bone breakdown and has been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in older men and women. However, risedronate has not been approved for the prevention... Read More

Generate a Pharmacodynamic Model of Oxytocin for Peripheral Analgesic Effects
NCT04431206
Recruiting
This is a study of participants that will receive an intravenous (IV) infusion of oxytocin (naturally occurring hormone that is made in the brain). In this study healthy volunteers and people with knee arthritis so severe that they may need joint replacement are recruited for a one day study. Each study participant will have an IV catheter placed. After placement of the IV catheter oxytocin will be given by IV infusion. Investigators will perform some tests to evaluate how oxytocin changes perc... Read More

Metabolic Effects of Perimenopause
NCT06098183
Recruiting
Starting in early-perimenopause, changes in systemic and tissue level metabolism result in an accelerated loss of muscle mass and an increase in body fat. Our preliminary work indicates that metabolic alterations, specifically a decrease in whole-body protein balance, increase in abdominal adiposity, and reduced metabolic flexibility during exercise is most evident in perimenopause. Exercise is a potent stimulator of skeletal muscle insulin sensitivity. High intensity interval training (HIIT) ha... Read More

Addressing Cancer-Related Financial Toxicity in Rural Oncology Care Settings
NCT04931251
Recruiting
The financial burden, or financial toxicity (FT), of cancer is a consequential and growing problem, particularly for rural patients. It is important to improve our understanding of how financial navigation (FN) can reduce the material, psychological, and behavioral burden of costs associated with cancer care in both rural and non-rural community settings. The purpose of this study is to conduct a financial navigation program in 5 rural and 4 non-rural oncology practices in North Carolina and eva... Read More

Harnessing Analysis RNA Expression and Molecular Subtype to Optimize Novel TherapY MBCA
NCT03769415
Recruiting
The HARMONY trial is an interventional trial enrolling metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Current treatment of breast cancer uses clinical subtype information (e.g. hormone receptor-positive (HR+)) to help guide treatment options. Breast cancer can also be characterized by molecular subtype, but it is not known if this information is helpful in determining treatment when breast cancer has become metastatic. HARMONY will give the treating physician of each participant the molecular subtype of the tu... Read More

Maternal Autoimmune Disease Research Alliance (MADRA) Registry
NCT03276923
Recruiting
This multi-site registry, centered at Duke University, will enroll pregnant women with autoimmune and rheumatologic diseases. The main goal of MADRA is to identify ways to improve the health of women with rheumatic diseases and their babies during pregnancy. Prior studies demonstrate the importance of increase inflammation prior to and during pregnancy on these outcomes. The future research will seek to better define these risk factors and to identify ways to may improve them.

A Novel Approach Utilizing Organ Specific Age Proteomics
NCT06789653
Recruiting
This study compares changes in P16INK4A expression and plasma proteomic signatures of specific organ age pre- and post-chemotherapy in women treated with adjuvant chemotherapy for early-stage breast cancer. It aims to determine if biological and accelerated immune aging, assessed using T cells from peripheral blood, represents aging in different organs. Patients receiving chemotherapy, especially adjuvant regimens that include anthracyclines and taxanes, often experience late development of car... Read More
