Escalating Doses of VAS-101 in Subjects With Stable Sickle Cell Disease
Testing higher doses of VAS-101 in people with stable sickle cell disease
📍 National Institutes of Health Clinical Center · Bethesda, MD · Get directions →
Background: Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an inherited blood disorder. The disease affects the ability of red blood cells to carry oxygen.

Human Models of Selective Insulin Resistance: Alpelisib, Part I
Testing how insulin works in healthy people versus people at risk for type 2 diabetes
📍 Columbia University Irving Medical Center · New York, NY · Get directions →
The goal of this clinical trial is to understand how the blood sugar-lowering hormone insulin works in healthy adults versus those who are at risk for type 2 diabetes. The study will use a drug called alpelisib, which interferes with insulin's actions in the body, to answer the study's main question: does the liver continue to respond to insulin's stimulation of fat production even when it loses the ability to stop making glucose (sugar) in response to insulin.

Prevention of Progression of Prediabetes, Obesity and CV Risk
Testing ways to stop prediabetes and obesity from getting worse
📍 University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio · San Antonio, TX · Get directions →
The investigators are studying how to help people with prediabetes (Pre-DM) and obesity. The goal is to use new and affordable treatments to bring blood sugar levels back to normal and help participants to lose weight.

Diazoxide Suppression Test P&F Study
Testing how insulin helps control blood sugar in people with obesity
📍 Columbia University Irving Medical Center · New York, NY · Get directions →
The goal of this study is to learn about how the hormone insulin controls blood sugar. The main question it aims to answer is about how much insulin the body actually needs to maintain a normal blood sugar level.
- Obesity / overweight💵 May compensate
Graded Insulin Suppression Test P&F
Testing how insulin controls blood sugar in people with obesity
📍 Columbia University Irving Medical Center · New York, NY · Get directions →
The goal of this study is to learn about how the hormone insulin controls blood sugar in a variety of people. The main question it aims to answer is about how much insulin the body actually needs to maintain a normal blood sugar level.

Effect of Insulin Lowering on Lipogenesis
Testing whether lowering insulin for one week changes liver fat in people with obesity and MASLD
📍 Columbia University Irving Medical Center · New York, NY · Get directions →
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare a one-week course of diazoxide (2 mg/kg per dose x 14 doses) and placebo in people with obesity and insulin resistance (IR) with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). The main question it aims to answer are how mitigation of compensatory hyperinsulinemia with diazoxide affects hepatic de novo lipogenesis, a major contributor to MASLD pathophysiology.

A Self-Guided Mobile Intervention for Adults With Binge Eating and Obesity
Testing a self-guided phone program for adults with obesity and binge eating
📍 Drexel University · Philadelphia, PA · Get directions →
The proposed study is an open label, non randomized, waitlist controlled single group feasibility study of the feasibility and usability of a digital intervention (called ChangeBite) to be used by individuals with obesity and comorbid binge eating behavior. The proposed research will include approximately 30 participants.
