Healthy Paid Clinical Trials in Texas

Center for BrainHealth is beginning a one-year pilot with local college campuses investigating the impact of (i) brain health assessment and training tools delivered through the online BrainHealth Platform and (ii) in-person educational brain health workshops delivered to college students and faculty/staff, with the overarching goal to better understand how to promote brain-healthier campuses (i.e., reflecting generally positive function across cognitive, social, emotional, and lifestyle domains). This initial study is intended to be a one-year pilot, with findings informing feasibility and efficacy as well as future, more extended and expanded study informing translation to other colleges/universities.

Young children rely on their foods and drinks for the nutrients they need to grow, like energy, protein, vitamins, and minerals. In addition to nutrients, there are substances in fruits, vegetables, milk and formula, called phytochemicals, that can support health. While researchers know more about the role of phytochemicals in adult health, researchers know surprisingly little about how phytochemicals can support health in young children. One group of phytochemicals are called the carotenoids. Carotenoids are responsible for the red, orange, and yellow colors in some fruits and vegetables. In adults, carotenoids can support visual function. Researchers also know that measuring levels of carotenoids in the blood or optically in the skin, can serve as an indirect measurement of what child and adults eat. The purpose of this study is to determine how a child's usual intake of carotenoids is related to their visual development and their blood and skin levels of carotenoids. The study involves 6 visits. For each visit, we will ask about the child's recent diet, will measure their body size, collect a blood sample, collect optical measurements of their skin, and will test how sharp their vision is.

This is a mechanistic, controlled, open-label, single-site study to evaluate the effects of RG-RV16 inoculation on airway mucosal gene expression and airway remodeling in 25 healthy controls (HC), in 25 allergic rhinitis subjects (AR) with cat dander allergy, and in 25 allergic asthmatic subjects (AA) with cat dander allergy. Three groups (HC, AR, and AA) will undergo screening to establish clinical history, will undergo pulmonary function testing (spirometry), and will have blood drawn for clinical characterization (IgE, , ImmunoCAP, CBC and differential), and for assessing the presence of existing neutralizing antibody against RV16. Only those who meet criteria will be permitted to continue into the interventional and run-out phases of the study. Read Less

The main purpose of this study is to measure how much of LY3437943 gets into the bloodstream and how long it takes the body to eliminate it in participants with mild, moderate and severe impaired liver function compared to healthy participants with normal liver function. The safety and tolerability of LY3437943 will also be evaluated. The study may last up to 9 weeks for each participant including the screening period. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to measure side effects of LY3971297 injection administered under the skin in healthy participants and obese participants with high blood pressure (BP). Blood tests will be performed to check how much LY3971297 gets into the bloodstream and how long it takes the body to eliminate it. This is a 7-part study. The study duration will be approximately 60 days for Parts A and F, and approximately 90 days for Parts B, C, D, E, and G. Read Less

The main purpose of this study is to assess how olomorasib gets into the blood stream and how long it takes the body to remove it when administered to participants with mild, moderate and severe impaired liver function compared to participants with normal liver function. The safety and tolerability of olomorasib will also be evaluated. The study may last up to 6 weeks for each participant including the screening period. Read Less

For an overview of the study and link TO REGISTER please go to -- https://brainhealth.utdallas.edu/programs/the-brainhealth-project/ The BrainHealth Project is a ten-year, longitudinal study focused on identifying determinants of brain health and performance. Participants will have the opportunity to complete semi-annual (twice a year) online assessments to track their performance over time. In between semi-annual assessments, participants will have access to online trainings and ongoing supplemental content regarding ways to optimize brain health and performance. Online one-on-one coaching sessions will be offered to participants to answer questions and provide support in applying the information to their daily lives. A small portion of participants will be invited to participate in the brain imaging portion of this study. The main objectives are: (i) to characterize lifestyle, cognitive, and behavioral markers related to an individual's cognitive function from adolescent to elderly ages, (ii) to assess the neural/biological determinants predictive of maintenance of brain health, and (iii) to evaluate the impact of available cognitive and lifestyle interventions on improving and maintaining brain health and performance.

The goal of this clinical trial is to identify any differences in elbow ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) relative thickness and joint space laxity in the dominant arm following an 8-week course of low intensity resistance exercises with blood flow restriction (BFR) exercises in healthy volunteers. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Do BFR exercises contribute to a change in the relative ligament thickness of the UCL, and changes in the ulnohumeral joint space? 2. Are there changes in arm strength following the 8-week strengthening protocol with/without BFR? Participants will: * Complete two BFR sessions a week for a total of eight weeks. * Complete an exercise session with both arms (dominant arm will receive BFR) at each study visit. * Have sonographs taken of the UCL at the first and last study visit. * Complete strength assessments at the first and last study visit.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety and tolerability of LY4060874 in healthy participants. Study participation may last up to 22 weeks and up to approximately 16 study visits. Read Less

In this study, researchers will learn how the heart reacts to multiple doses of BIIB091 in healthy participants. In previous studies looking at BIIB091, researchers have found that a certain range of doses can cause changes in the electrical activity of the heart. In this study, researchers want to learn more about that activity after participants take BIIB091 at lower and higher doses for 5 days. The main objective of this study is to learn how the heart's electrical activity changes after taking BIIB091. To measure this, researchers will look at something called the QT interval corrected for heartbeat, also known as "QTc". This represents the time it takes for the heart to contract and relax. A QT interval that is too long means that the heart's electrical system is taking longer than normal to recharge between heartbeats. This could increase the risk of abnormal heartbeats that may lead to sudden death. The main questions researchers want to answer are: • What is the change in the participants' QTc after taking BIIB091? Researchers will also learn more about: * Any changes in other measures of the heart's electrical activity * How the body processes BIIB091, as well as something called "M23", which is made in the body when BIIB091 is broken down * Any medical problems the participants have during the study * Any changes in the participants' overall health during the study This study will be done as follows: * Participants will be screened to check if they can join the study. The screening period will be up to 29 days, after which participants will check into their study research center. * Participants will be randomly assigned to be in 1 of 2 groups: * Group 1: Participants will take a low dose of BIIB091 for 5 days followed by a high dose of BIIB091 for 5 days. * Group 2: Participants will take a single dose of moxifloxacin. Moxifloxacin is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections. Researchers are using it in this study to compare to BIIB091, because it is known to cause abnormal changes to the heart's electrical activity. * Participants in both Group 1 and Group 2 will also take a placebo while at the study research center. A placebo looks like the study drug or moxifloxacin, but does not have any real medicine in it. * Participants will remain at their study research center for 15 days. Afterwards, there will be a follow-up visit 11 to 14 days after each participant's last dose. Each participant will be in the study for up to 57 days. Read Less
