North Carolina Paid Clinical Trials

Without an explanation for severe and sometimes life-threatening symptoms, patients and their families are left in a state of unknown. Many individuals find themselves being passed from physician to physician, undergoing countless and often repetitive tests in the hopes of finding answers and insight about what the future may hold. This long and arduous journey to find a diagnosis does not end for many patients- the Office of Rare Diseases Research (ORDR) notes that 6% of individuals seeking their assistance have an undiagnosed disorder. In 2008, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Undiagnosed Diseases Program (UDP) was established with the goal of providing care and answers for these individuals with mysterious conditions who have long eluded diagnosis. The NIH UDP is a joint venture of the NIH ORDR, the National Human Genome Research Institute Intramural Research Program (NHGRI-IRP), and the NIH Clinical Research Center (CRC) (1-3). The goals of the NIH UDP are to: (1) provide answers for patients with undiagnosed diseases; (2) generate new knowledge about disease mechanisms; (3) assess the application of new approaches to phenotyping and the use of genomic technologies; and (4) identify potential therapeutic targets, if possible. To date, the UDP has evaluated 3300 medical records and admitted 750 individuals with rare and undiagnosed conditions to the NIH Clinical Center. The NIH UDP has identified more than 70 rare disease diagnoses and several new conditions. The success of the NIH UDP prompted the NIH Common Fund to support the establishment of a network of medical research centers, the Undiagnosed Diseases Network (UDN), for fiscal years 2013-2020. The clinical sites will perform extensive phenotyping, genetic analyses, and functional studies of potential disease-causing variants. The testing performed on patients involves medically indicated studies intended to help reach a diagnosis, as well as research investigations that include a skin biopsy, blood draws, and DNA analysis. In addition, the UDN will further the goals of the UDP by permitting the sharing of personally identifiable phenotypic and genotypic information within the network. By sharing participant information and encouraging collaboration, the UDN hopes to improve the understanding of rare conditions and advance the diagnostic process and care for individuals with undiagnosed diseases.

Per Health Authorities guidelines for gene therapy medicinal products that utilize integrating vectors (e.g. lentiviral vectors), long term safety and efficacy follow up of treated patients is required. The purpose of this study is to monitor all patients exposed to CAR-T therapied for 15 years following their last CAR-T (e.g. CTL019) infusion to assess the risk of delayed adverse events (AEs), monitor for replication competent lentivirus (RCL) and assess long-term efficacy, including vector persistence.

The purpose of this study is to collect long-term safety and efficacy data for participants treated with ibrutinib and to provide ongoing access to ibrutinib for participants who are currently enrolled in ibrutinib studies that have been completed according to the parent protocol, are actively receiving treatment with ibrutinib, and who continue to benefit from ibrutinib treatment.

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 3-period crossover study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of two dose levels of K-645 in the treatment of patients with acute migraine. Read Less

The PRIMARY trial (NCT05051033), which compares mitral valve repair (MVr) to transcatheter-edge-to-edge-repair (TEER), offers a platform for conducting mechanistic studies to develop early insights into the pathophysiological processes by which mitral valve prolapse (MVP) can impact left ventricular (LV) myocardial structure and function, and, thereby, predispose to arrhythmias and sudden death. Such insights are key to identifying interventions to reduce the long-term sequelae of heart failure (HF) and arrhythmias, as well as delineate optimal therapeutic approaches for different patient sub-groups.

This is an outpatient study testing different starting doses of insulin in participants with type 2 diabetes. Participants will manage their diabetes using the Omnipod M System. The system is comprised of an Omnipod M Pod, an Omnipod M Controller, and will be used with a Dexcom G6 continuous glucose monitoring sensor (CGM). The main objectives of the study are to evaluate the safety and tolerability of different starting doses of insulin using the Omnipod M System. There is a precursory evaluation before the main, randomized trial. Participation in the precursory evaluation could last up to 12 weeks and participation in the randomized trial could last up to 6 weeks. During both the evaluation and the randomized trial, participants will manage their diabetes using the Omnipod M System in Automated Mode. An optional 12-weeks of continued Omnipod M System use is available upon completion of the randomized trial. Read Less

This is a phase 1, multicenter, randomized, double-blind trial of two influenza A/H5 mRNA-based vaccines on healthy adult participants, 18-49 years of age. Stage 1 will serve as the open-label, dose finding stage. The first 10 participants will receive 12.5 mcg of H5 AC-Anhui RNA vaccine (Group 1), and the second 10 participants will receive 25 mcg of H5 AC-Anhui RNA vaccine (Group 2). After Protocol Safety Review Team (PSRT) review of reactogenicity and safety data through Day 8 for both Groups 1 and 2, another 10 participants may be enrolled to receive 50 mcg of H5 AC-Anhui RNA vaccine (Group 3). Safety data from 7 days after dose 2 for Groups 1 and 2 participants will be reviewed by the PSRT prior to clearing Group 3 participants for the second dose of vaccine. Individual participants will be followed for approximately 6 months following the second dose of vaccine. The primary objective is to assess the safety of two doses of H5 AC-Anhui RNA vaccine or H5-Astrakhan RNA vaccine administered intramuscularly in healthy adults (18-49 years). Once the Day 36 data from Group 3 are reviewed by the PSRT, a dose will be chosen (12.5 mcg, 25 mcg, or 50 mcg) for advancement to Stage 2 where 50 participants will be randomized 1:1 to receive either H5 AC-Anhui RNA (Group 4) or H5 Astrakhan RNA (Group 5) in a double-blinded manner.
