Acute and Chronic Effects of Oral Ketones in Subjects With HFrEF and Diabetes
Testing how drinking ketone drinks affects heart function in people with type 2 diabetes and heart
📍 University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio · San Antonio, TX · Get directions →
This study will provide insight into whether cardiac function changes with oral Ketone Esters (KE) administered to patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Plasma ketones are avidly extracted by cardiac muscle and their uptake is not dependent upon insulin or influenced by insulin resistance.
- Migraine / chronic headache
Mechanistic Studies of Psilocybin in Headache Disorders
Testing how psilocybin may affect migraine headache symptoms
📍 VA Connecticut Healthcare System · West Haven, CT · Get directions →
In previous clinical trial work, the investigators observed lasting reductions in headache burden after limited dosing of psilocybin. This purpose of this study is to examine potential sources for this observed effect.
- Obesity / overweightHeart / cardiovascular disease💵 May compensate
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.
- Type 2 diabetesHeart / cardiovascular disease
FES Cycling With BFR in the Spinal Cord Injury Population
Testing a cycling exercise program with added arm-leg pressure for people with spinal cord injury
📍 Lyndhurst Centre · Toronto, Ontario · Get directions →
Cardiometabolic Disease (CMD) is the silent killer within the spinal cord injury/disease (SCI/D) population. Many SCI/D patients' initial CMD presentation is with a heart attack, stroke, or sudden cardiac death, highlighting the need for interventions to reduce CMD risk.
- Obesity / overweightHeart / cardiovascular disease
Mechanisms of Semaglutide Therapy in Heart Failure Patients
Testing how semaglutide works in people with heart failure and obesity
📍 Greenstone Biosciences · Palo Alto, CA · +1 more US site · Get directions →
Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, primarily used for treatment of type-2 diabetes mellitus. GLP-1 receptors are present on pancreatic islet β-cells, δ-cells and α-cells.
- Obesity / overweightHeart / cardiovascular diseaseHigh cholesterol
Akkermansia Muciniphilia and Metabolic Side Effects of ADT
Testing how Akkermansia gut bacteria relate to body and blood lipid changes in people with obesity
📍 London Health Sciences Centre - Victoria Hospital · London, Ontario · Get directions →
The overriding objectives of this study are: 1. Primary outcomes: 1.
- Migraine / chronic headache
Does Nerve Block + Oral Dexamethasone Reduce Recurrence of Headache Within 72 Hrs?
Testing whether a nerve block plus steroid tablets lowers migraine headache return within 72 hours
📍 University Medical Center of El Paso · El Paso, TX · Get directions →
For some patients who come to the emergency department for treatment of a migraine headache, peripheral headache nerve blocks (PHNB) have proven to be an efficient and effective treatment for headache relief. Previous studies have demonstrated that adding steroids as an adjunct treatment to standard migraine treatment can reduce recurrence of headaches in the subsequent few days.

Metabolic Effects of Angiotensin-(1-7)
Testing how angiotensin-(1-7) affects body metabolism in obesity
📍 Vanderbilt University Medical Center · Nashville, TN · Get directions →
The overall purpose of this study is to learn more about the metabolic effects of angiotensin-(1-7) in the insulin resistant state associated with obesity. Pharmacologic approaches to increase angiotensin-(1-7) levels or its actions are currently in development for treatment of metabolic-related diseases such as obesity and type II diabetes, based on findings from animal studies.
- Heart / cardiovascular diseaseHigh blood pressureCOPD (chronic lung disease)
: Vascular Function in Health and Disease
Studying how blood vessel function works in health and diseases like heart problems, high blood
📍 George E Wahlen VA Medical Center · Salt Lake City, UT · Get directions →
Many control mechanisms exist which successfully match the supply of blood with the metabolic demand of various tissues under wide-ranging conditions. One primary regulator of vasomotion and thus perfusion to the muscle tissue is the host of chemical factors originating from the vascular endothelium and the muscle tissue, which collectively sets the level of vascular tone.
- Heart / cardiovascular disease
Mesenchymal Stem Cells for the Treatment of Various Chronic and Acute Conditions
Testing stem cell treatment for safety and effects on heart disease
📍 Southern California Hospital at Culver City / Southern California Hospital at Hollywood / Multiple US-based Sub-Investigator Sites · Culver City, CA · Get directions →
This multi-arm, multi-site study investigates the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of stem cell therapy for the treatment of various acute and chronic conditions. Clinically observed initial findings and an extensive body of research indicate regenerative treatments are both safe and effective for the treatment of multiple conditions.
- Heart / cardiovascular diseaseHigh blood pressure
Sympathetic-vascular Dysfunction in Obesity and Insulin Resistance (Vitamin C Study)
Studying how vitamin C affects blood vessel function in obese adults with insulin resistance and
📍 University of Kansas Medical Center · Kansas City, KS · Get directions →
The main purpose of research is to examine and understanding the development of hypertension in obese adults with insulin resistance. Findings from our studies will identify unique mechanisms that can be targeted to limit increases in vascular dysfunction and reduce the excessively high prevalence of hypertension and risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD).
- Heart / cardiovascular diseaseKidney disease
Effect of Dapagliflozin on Metabolomics and Cardiac Mechanics in Chronic Kidney Disease
Testing dapagliflozin with standard care on heart and lung function and blood metabolites in chronic
📍 Northwestern University · Chicago, IL · Get directions →
The goal of this study is to better understand the effects of a sodium-glucose transport protein 2 inhibitor, dapagliflozin, added on to standard of care on heart and lung function and circulating metabolites (substances created when our bodies break down food, drugs, or its own tissues) in patients with chronic kidney disease.
- Migraine / chronic headache
A Study to Learn About the Study Medicine Called Zavegepant (PF-07930207) in Children With a History of Migraine
Testing safety and how zavegepant is processed in children with migraine
📍 Arkansas Children's Hospital · Little Rock, AR · +12 more US sites · Get directions →
The purpose of the study is to learn about safety and how the body processes the study medicine called Zavegepant (PF-07930207) in children with a history of migraine. This study helps understand how the medicine is changed and removed from the body after taking it.
