    Impact GLP-1 Agonists Following Bariatric

    Testing whether GLP-1 medicines after bariatric surgery affect weight and blood sugar

    📍 University of Missouri Hospital · Columbia, MO · Get directions →

    Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) is a hormone that helps regulate blood glucose levels through improved insulin sensitivity and release of insulin from the pancreas, control hunger, induce satiety and plays a role in the metabolic health of a person. GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RAs) have been shown to be effective in achieving weight loss in patients with type 2 diabetes while improving blood glucose control.

    BZLF1 Peptide Vaccine (OSU-2131) With QS-21 for the Prevention of Epstein-Barr Virus Related Cancer in Patients Awaiting Solid Organ Transplants

    Testing a vaccine to prevent Epstein-Barr virus cancer in transplant patients

    📍 Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center · Columbus, OH · Get directions →

    This phase 1B trial tests the safety, side effects and best dose of rh-Hsc70- BZLF1 peptide complex (OSU-2131) with Stimulon (Trademark) QS-21 and evaluates how well it works in preventing Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection and related cancers in healthy volunteers and patients awaiting a solid organ transplant. Currently, patients who receive an organ transplant receive immune suppression therapy which can make it harder for the body to fight infections.

    📍 Mazankowski Alberta Heart Institute · Edmonton, Alberta · Get directions →

    Obesity is considered a global pandemic and is associated with various diseases and metabolic complications, such as type 2 diabetes mellitus, high blood pressure, cholesterol disorders, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and kidney disease. Obesity can affect the kidneys in two main ways: indirectly, through mechanisms related to diabetes mellitus and/or high blood pressure, and directly, through complex proteins called "adipokines," which are produced by adipocytes.
