Why participate in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial can offer a range of benefits for you and others, while playing a crucial role in advancing medical knowledge and treatment options. If you or a loved one is looking to gain access to new and innovative treatments that are not yet available to the general public or have a condition that has limited or no effective treatment options, we invite you to look through the studies listed below that are available through our institution. 

Why should someone who is healthy participate in a study?

Some clinical trials allow for participation by healthy individuals. By participating in a clinical trial, healthy individuals also contribute to the advancement of medical science. Their involvement helps researchers determine the effectiveness and safety of new treatments, which can ultimately lead to better healthcare for everyone.

Cenobamate (YKP3089) is a small molecule approved in the United States (US), Europe and several other countries around the world for the treatment of Partial-Onset (focal) seizures in adult subjects (≥18 years of age). In the US it is approved for use as monotherapy, however, there is little clinical data assessing its use as monotherapy in adults with POS. This study is designed to explore the effectiveness of doses of 100 mg/day and 200 mg/day as monotherapy in adult subjects with newly diagnosed or recurrent POS/focal onset epilepsy.

There are several areas in which this study will advance human knowledge. This study will enhance our understanding of the populations that may benefit from psilocybin therapy. Previous research has largely examined a relatively narrow sliver of the human experience. This study will enroll individuals from populations in urban and rural living communities that have not had access to previous psychedelic research. Moreover, this study will focus on methamphetamine addiction, which currently has no FDA approved treatments available

This randomized, controlled, pivotal study is intended to determine whether up to ten sequential 24-hour treatments with the Selective Cytopheretic Device (SCD) will improve survival in patients with Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) requiring continuous kidney replacement therapy (CKRT) when compared to CKRT alone (standard of care). This study is further intended to determine whether SCD therapy will reduce the duration of maintenance dialysis secondary to AKI. This study will enroll approximately 200 subjects across 30 US sites. Participants will be patients in an intensive care unit (ICU) setting with a diagnosis of AKI requiring CKRT.

Subjects presenting with symptomatic BPH seeking minimally invasive therapy will be approached to discuss study participation. Medical history will be reviewed, and initial assessments will be completed to assess suitability for treatment with the Optilume BPH Catheter System.

The RejuvenAir® System is a cryosurgical device that applies medical-grade liquid nitrogen to the treatment area via a radial head catheter in a small, accurately directed spray. Cryotherapy with the RejuvenAir® System is designed to induce a regenerative endobronchial tissue effect by: 1) destroying via cryotherapy the abnormal surface epithelium that has become overgrown with mucin producing goblet cells, 2) thus allowing normal bronchial epithelium with a regrowth of ciliated epithelial cells that will facilitate the removal of mucins from the bronchial airways and 3) lead to a reduction in chronic inflammation and its accompanying mucosal swelling with resultant increase in the treated airway diameter. This reversal of inflamed epithelium may also lessen systemic inflammation.
