- Kidney disease
The Efficacy, Mechanism & Safety of Sodium Glucose Co-Transporter-2 Inhibitor & Glucagon-Like Peptide 1 Receptor Agonist Combination Therapy in Kidney Transplant Recipients
Testing a 12-week diabetes medicine combination in kidney transplant patients with kidney disease
📍 Toronto General Hospital · Toronto, Ontario · Get directions →
The study aims to determine the short-term efficacy, mechanisms and safety of 12 weeks of dapagliflozin and semaglutide combination therapy in 20 KTR, with and without T2D.
- Obesity / overweightHigh blood pressure
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.
- Kidney disease
A Study of Eloralintide (LY3841136) in Participants With Renal Impairment and in Participants With Normal Renal Function
Testing how a diabetes medicine in the bloodstream changes in kidney disease
📍 Floridian Clinical Research, LLC · Miami Lakes, FL · +1 more US site · Get directions →
The purpose of the study is to assess the amount of Eloralintide (LY3841136) that reaches the bloodstream and the time it takes for the body to get rid of it when given to participants with renal (kidney) impairment and to healthy participants. The study drug will be administered subcutaneously (SC) (under the skin).
- Kidney disease
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.
- Obesity / overweightHigh blood pressureCOPD (chronic lung disease)
Feasibility of Semaglutide in Advanced Lung Disease
Testing whether semaglutide can be given safely to people with advanced lung disease
📍 University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine · Philadelphia, PA · Get directions →
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether semaglutide, an FDA-approved treatment for diabetes and obesity, is feasible and tolerable in patients with advanced lung disease. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: 1.
- Kidney disease
Glucagon-like-peptide-1 Receptor Agonists in Patients Receiving Maintenance Dialysis
Testing whether a weekly diabetes medicine is safe for people on dialysis
📍 Unity Health Toronto · Toronto, Ontario · Get directions →
This study aims to determine if GLP1RA is safe and tolerable in maintenance dialysis population, adherence, and feasibility of a larger definitive cardiovascular outcome trial in this population. Participants will be randomized 1:1 to either weekly subcutaneous semaglutide versus usual care and followed for 26 weeks.
- Obesity / overweightHigh blood pressure
Understanding the Health Effect of a Bioactive Peptide From Egg: A Pilot Study
Testing how an egg-derived peptide affects health in people with obesity and high blood pressure
📍 University of Alberta · Edmonton, Alberta · Get directions →
Bioactive peptides derived from food proteins show potential for improving human health. One of such promising peptides is namely IRW made from egg white hydrolysate and composed of three peptides.
- Obesity / overweightKidney disease
Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonist in ADPKD
Testing a 1-year weight-loss medicine to slow kidney cyst growth in adults with ADPKD
📍 University of Colorado - Anschutz Medical Campus · Aurora, CO · Get directions →
The proposed clinical trial aims to assess if a year of treatment with a glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist, a medication approved for weight management that also improves the body's response to glucose and insulin, can slow kidney growth in adults with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease who are overweight or obese. The study will also evaluate changes in abdominal fat and kidney metabolism using cutting-edge images techniques.
- Crohn's / ulcerative colitis (IBD)
Glucagon-like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonist (GLP-1 RA) and Diet in Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Patients
Testing diet plus an injectable medicine to treat mild Crohn’s in people with higher BMI
📍 University of Miami · Miami, FL · Get directions →
The purpose of this study is to use diet and an injectable medication called tirzepatide (Zepbound) glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GIP-GLP-1 RA) medication as adjunctive therapy (another treatment used together with the primary treatment) for Crohn's disease patients with mild disease who are on stable doses of biologic medication (infliximab or adalimumab) and who have a body mass index (BMI) of at least 27.
