Adipose Tissue in Obesity-Related Asthma (ATORA) - Feasibility Studies and Preliminary Data

E
Erick Forno
6 years - 17 years
All genders
Observational
The purpose of this study is to better understand how fat tissue may contribute to asthma in children and young adults with obesity. Researchers will also use the samples to develop and improve laboratory methods for studying fat tissue and to gather preliminary information that may help guide future research on obesity-related asthma.THIS STUDY IS ENROLLING BY INVITATION ONLY - Children, adolescents, and young adult patients will become potential candidates for the study after their clinical care team determines that appendectomy, cholecystectomy, or bariatric surgery is clinically indicated. Potentially eligible participants may be identified through communication with the clinical care team and/or review of the electronic health record for study eligibility criteria. The study may be introduced to potential participants and their parents/guardians by a member of the research team or by a clinical care provider who normally has access to the individual's confidential information as part of the patient's clinical care.

A Study of Donanemab (LY3002813) in Participants With Early Cognitive Decline (TRAILBLAZER-ALZ 7)

J
Jared Brosch, MD
55 years - 85 years
All genders
Phase 2
Interventional
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate whether treatment with donanemab slows the progression of cognitive (how we think, learn, remember, pay attention, and make decisions) and functional (how we are able to perform daily activities) decline. For each participant, the study will last one and a half years.THIS STUDY IS ENROLLING BY INVITATION ONLY - Potential participants will be recruited by researchers and contacted directly by e-mail, mail, phone, appointment or via clinician referral.

A Master Protocol for a Randomized, Controlled, Clinical Trial of Multiple Pharmacologic Agents in Adult Participants with Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease Who Are at Increased Risk of Developing Major Adverse Liver Outcomes (Synergy-Outcomes)

R
Raj Vuppalanchi, MD
18 years - 100 years
All genders
Interventional
This multicenter, randomized, parallel-arm, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 umbrella- type master protocol aims to create a framework for simultaneously evaluating the safety and efficacy of multiple pharmacologic agents (interventions) for the treatment of high-risk metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease.THIS STUDY IS ENROLLING BY INVITATION ONLY - The study team will identify and invite potential participants with MASLD who may also have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) to enroll in the study.

Understanding Barriers to Alcohol Use Disorder Treatment and Digital Health Engagement Among Patients with Alcohol-Associated Liver Disease: A Mixed-Methods Formative Study

L
Lauren Nephew
18 years - 100 years
All genders
Interventional
From the patient perspective, stigma and fear of judgment, especially in transplant-adjacent contexts, discourage disclosure of alcohol use and engagement in treatment. Structural challenges, including transportation barriers, unstable housing, caregiving responsibilities, and financial toxicity, further limit participation in treatment. Treatment readiness may also fluctuate with stress, episodes of hepatic decompensation, and social instability, undermining engagement in traditional referral-based models. Collectively, these barriers help explain persistently low treatment rates despite strong evidence that AUD is both treatable and central to improving ALD outcomes. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the acceptability and multilevel implementation determinants, including individual-level factors and outer setting influences such as socioeconomic context, that shape adoption of and engagement with a digital health intervention for alcohol use disorder among patients with alcohol-associated liver disease.THIS STUDY IS ENROLLING BY INVITATION ONLY - Eligible patients will be identified by review of clinic schedules and will be approached in person either in clinic or in their hosptial room as in inpatient or via a telephone call by a research coordinator who is not involved in their direct clinical care. The coordinator will briefly describe the study and obtain informed consent prior to survey participation. This can be done either in person or remotely.

Implementing the Addressing Symptoms with Person-Centered Treatment (ADAPT) Program in Heart Failure Care

L
Lyndsay DeGroot
40 years - 100 years
All genders
Interventional
The purpose of this study is to see if ADAPT, an evidence-based, virtual care program for people living with heart failure, is easy to implement in a regular clinic setting. We also want to see if ADAPT improves quality of life for people with heart failureTHIS STUDY IS ENROLLING BY INVITATION ONLY - Recruitment may take place in-person at the study clinic, if remote methods do not yield adequate enrollment numbers. Flyers will be distributed in the study clinic, and clinicians may introduce the ADAPT program to patients during individual patient visits. If necessary, the research team may present the ADAPT program to patients in the clinic as well. When participants are in person, activities will take place in a private clinic or meeting room to ensure privacy.

Get a Free Hearing Evaluation While Helping Advance Aging Research! Do you ever wonder how hearing changes as we get older? Researchers at Indiana University are doing a study to learn more about how the brain processes sound as we age.   By taking part, you can help advance hearing and aging research by helping us find new ways to support better hearing and clearer understanding for years to come.You may be able to join this study if:You are between the ages of 55 and 80You speak English as your first languageYou have no substantial hearing loss or cognitive issues (hearing and cognition will be tested in the lab during your first visit).Are able to attend 2-3 in-person study visits at Indiana University in Bloomington, IN.
Are You 60 Years of Age or Older? Help Us Understand Pain as We Age

Are You 60 Years of Age or Older? Help Us Understand Pain as We Age

Y
Yehui Zhu
60 years or above
Accepts healthy volunteer
All genders
Join a research study for healthy adults 60 and older and help improve care for future generations. As we get older, our bodies can feel pain in different ways. But right now, we do not fully understand how healthy older adults experience pain. Researchers at the Indiana University School of Nursing are inviting adults ages 60 and older to take part in a study to learn more about what “typical” pain responses look like in healthy older adults.Your participation could help improve how pain is studied and treated for older adults in the future.
