- Eczema / atopic dermatitis
Molecular Signatures of Cutaneous Dupilumab Response
Studying how dupilumab affects immune cells in eczema skin
📍 University of California, San Francisco · San Francisco, CA · Get directions →
This study examines the effect of IL4RA blockade with dupilumab on the immune cells of atopic dermatitis skin lesions.
- Eczema / atopic dermatitis
Dupilumab De-escalation in Pediatric Atopic Dermatitis
Testing whether stopping or lowering eczema treatment works for kids
📍 Johns Hopkins Univerisity · Baltimore, MD · Get directions →
This is a pilot investigator-blinded, randomized clinical trial to assess the feasibility of dupilumab treatment discontinuation or dose-reduction in children aged 1-17 years who have achieved sustained atopic dermatitis (AD) control on dupilumab.
- 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.

Fibrosis Lessens After Metabolic Surgery
Testing whether metabolic surgery can reduce liver scarring in obesity
📍 Banner Health Center · Phoenix, AZ · +3 more US sites · Get directions →
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), formerly known as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), a major global public health concern, is commonly associated with obesity, diabetes, and dyslipidemia. MASLD is currently the most common cause of chronic liver disease affecting about 80% of people with obesity, ranging from simple fat deposits in the liver to Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatohepatitis (MASH), cellular injury, advanced fibrosis, cirrhosis, or hepatocellular carcinoma.
- Eczema / atopic dermatitis
Lebrikizumab in Moderate-to-severe Atopic Dermatitis
Testing a medicine called lebrikizumab for long-term improvement in eczema
📍 Physioseq USA - CA · Folsom, CA · +1 more US site · Get directions →
This research is studying a drug already approved for the treatment of atopic dermatitis (AD). This research collects health-related information and blood and skin samples to understand if the study drug, lebrikizumab, leads to long-term improvement in AD skin.
- Sickle cell disease
Prophylactic Transfusion In Pregnant in Women With Sickle Cell Disease
Testing whether routine red blood cell transfusions in pregnancy reduce sickle cell flare-ups or
📍 Grady Health System · Atlanta, GA · Get directions →
The goal of this study is to determine if there is a positive effect of prophylactic red blood cell (RBC) transfusion of leukoreduced, ABO, Rh (D/Cc/Ee) and Kell matched blood compared to standard of care on the number of episodes of acute sickle cell disease (SCD) manifestations or pregnancy-related complications requiring acute health care encounters (acute care/ER/Hospital visits) or resulting in death over the entirety of pregnancy until 2 months post-partum in women with SCD. RBC transfusion is the only disease-modifying therapy for pregnant women with SCD, and it is considered a standard treatment option however, there exists no consensus on the role of transfusion therapy in preventing SCD-related pregnancy complications.
- Eczema / atopic dermatitis
Ethnic Differences in Mechanisms of Action of Dupilumab
Studying how a common eczema treatment works differently by race
📍 University of Michigan · Ann Arbor, MI · Get directions →
Previous research has shown that Asian and African Americans are more likely to develop atopic dermatitis (AD) than their Caucasian counterparts. However, limited information is known about AD in Asian and African American populations because most molecular studies have focused on Caucasians with AD.
- Obesity / overweightHigh blood pressure💵 May compensate
Optimizing Portal Hypertension With TIPS and Interval Metabolic Surgery for Advanced Liver Disease
Testing treatments to lower high pressure in liver veins in people with advanced liver disease and
📍 Cleveland Clinic Main Campus · Cleveland, OH · Get directions →
Cirrhosis is a form of advanced liver disease that can lead to serious complications, especially when combined with severe obesity. Many patients with cirrhosis also develop a condition called clinically significant portal hypertension (CSPH), which is increased pressure in the veins of the liver.
- Sickle cell disease
Effectiveness of Nontraditional Hydroxyurea Algorithms: Novel and Clinical Evaluations (ENHANCE)
Testing different ways to use hydroxyurea for treating sickle cell anemia
📍 Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center · Cincinnati, OH · Get directions →
The main reason for this research study is to learn more about hydroxyurea and the treatment of sickle cell anemia (SCA). Hydroxyurea is a medication that has been studied for many years and has been shown to provide benefits for people with SCA.
- Sickle cell disease
Clinical and Biomarker Effects of Depot Medroxyprogesterone Acetate in Females With Sickle Cell Disease
Testing an injectable birth control shot to reduce pain in women with sickle cell disease
📍 Emory University · Atlanta, GA · +1 more US site · Get directions →
This research is being conducted to see if using an injectable contraception, Depot Medroxyprogesterone Acetate (Depo-Provera), can reduce the pain experienced by women with sickle cell disease. Participants in this study will be adult women with sickle cell disease who regularly experience sickle cell pain.
- Sickle cell disease
Rollover Study for Patients With Sickle Cell Disease Who Have Completed a Prior Novartis-Sponsored Crizanlizumab Study
Study allowing people with sickle cell disease who finished a prior treatment study to keep getting
📍 University Of Alabama · Birmingham, AL · +6 more US sites · Get directions →
This is a multi-center multi-national rollover study to allow continued access to crizanlizumab for patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) who are on crizanlizumab treatment in a Novartis-sponsored study (parent study) and are benefiting from the treatment as judged by the investigator.
