The Metabolic Effects of Intermittent Fasting
NCT05722873
Recruiting
Caloric restriction has beneficial metabolic effects in humans including weight loss and improvement in blood pressure and lipid levels. Intermittent fasting has emerged as a popular alternative to caloric restriction as it does not require daily adherence to a dietary protocol, but whether the benefits of fasting protocols are dependent on weight loss is not known. In this study, the investigators will explore the metabolic effects of fasting and evaluate whether these effects, including negati... Read More

Evaluating Length of Treatment With PD-1/PD-L1 Inhibitor in Advanced Solid Tumors
NCT04157985
Recruiting
Based on the overwhelming positive response to this survey and the large number of patients being treated with PD-1/PD-L1 therapy in the UPMC system, the investigators are proposing a trial that will randomize patients who have disease stability to stop treatment at 1 year or continue treatment until disease progression. The investigators anticipate that the results of this study will answer questions regarding the optimal duration of treatment. therapy.

Autonomic Control of the Circulation and VDR
NCT03513770
Recruiting
The study objective of this project is to examine the mechanisms of the venous distension reflex (VDR) in humans. We hypothesize that COX blockade with ketorolac tromethamine, an intravenous NSAID, will attenuate the muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA) response to limb venous distension. To gain further insight into whether the COX byproducts directly stimulate chemically-sensitive afferents, or enable venodilation and indirectly evoke afferent stimulation, we will measure vein size using 3...
