Semaglutide for Alcoholism
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
This clinical trial aims to test the effectiveness and safety of semaglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist, in treating moderate to severe alcohol use disorder (AUD) in Veterans. Participants who qualify will be randomly assigned to receive either semaglutide injections or placebo injections over a 28-week period, followed by a 4-week post-treatment safety assessment period. Participants receiving semaglutide will start with a low dose, gradually increasing to a maximum of 2.4 mg per week, depending on their tolerance. The primary measure of success will be a reduction in risky drinking, assessed through a reliable calendar-based interview method called the Timeline Follow-Back (TLFB), a well-validated calendar-based interview technique for recording daily alcohol consumption. The purpose of this research is to gather information on the effectiveness of semaglutide for treating AUD, potentially offering a new and more appealing treatment option.

Educational Website for Colorectal Cancer
Hazleton, Pennsylvania
This phase III trial evaluates whether a web-based intervention called Current Together after Cancer (CTAC) works to increase the number of patients with surgically removed (resected) colorectal cancer who receive surveillance care that aligns with current guidelines (guideline-concordant). Surveillance care after resection of colorectal cancer is critical to detect potentially curable return of disease (recurrence), yet up to 60% of colorectal cancer survivors fail to receive surveillance. This may be due to a lack of knowledge about the purpose of surveillance care and the risks of cancer recurrence, or a lack of confidence for managing surveillance care. The CTAC intervention is an online education intervention designed to improve patients' knowledge about surveillance and their self-efficacy for managing surveillance, and to promote effective communication with supporters and supporter engagement in patients' surveillance in a way that is aligned with each patient's preferences. By increasing a patient's knowledge, self-efficacy, and satisfaction with their supporter's engagement in their care, the CTAC intervention may increase the number of patients who receive guideline-concordant surveillance care after resection of colorectal cancer.

Oxymetazoline Drops for Drooping Eyelid
Hershey, Pennsylvania
After an episode of facial paralysis, as nerves recover, they aberrantly regenerate and send additional branches to the incorrect muscles in addition to the intended muscle. This leads to what is known as Aberrant Regeneration Syndrome, Post-paralysis Synkinesis, or Nonflaccid Facial Paralysis. It is characterized by poor facial symmetry and function, hypertonic facial muscles at rest, and abnormal facial movements. One sequela is acquired blepharoptosis causing a smaller ocular aperture, visual field obstruction, cosmetic deformity, and abnormal periocular spasms. This study aims to evaluate an FDA approved medication for acquired blepharoptosis due to synkinesis/hyperkinesis as an adjunct to treatment.

Denosumab to Prevent Breast Cancer in Women With BRCA1 Mutation
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
This phase III trial compares denosumab to placebo for the prevention of breast cancer in women with a BRCA1 germline mutation. A germline mutation is an inherited gene change which, in the BRCA1 gene, is associated with an increased risk of breast and other cancers. Denosumab is a monoclonal antibody that is used to treat bone loss in order to reduce the risk of bone fractures in healthy people, and to reduce new bone growths in cancer patients whose cancer has spread to their bones. Research has shown that denosumab may also reduce the risk of developing breast cancer in women carrying a BRCA1 germline mutation.

"I have dealt with voice and vocal fold issues related to paralysis for over 12 years. This problem has negatively impacted virtually every facet of my life. I am an otherwise healthy 48 year old married father of 3 living. My youngest daughter is 12 and has never heard my real voice. I am now having breathing issues related to the paralysis as well as trouble swallowing some liquids. In my research I have seen some recent trials focused on helping people like me."
AG
Paralysis PatientAge: 50
"I was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer three months ago, metastatic to my liver, and I have been receiving and responding well to chemotherapy. My blood work revealed that my tumor markers have gone from 2600 in the beginning to 173 as of now, even with the delay in treatment, they are not going up. CT Scans reveal they have been shrinking as well. However, chemo is seriously deteriorating my body. I have 4 more treatments to go in this 12 treatment cycle. I am just interested in learning about my other options, if any are available to me."

Ketone Ester for Alcoholism
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
The purpose of this research is to study how a nutritional ketone ester may effect brain function and alcohol consumption in regular alcohol users. The study will see how the brain responds, once after drinking the ketone ester and once after drinking a "placebo", which will look and taste the same as the ketone ester drink.
Metabolic ketosis induced by a ketogenic diet has been previously shown to elevate brain ketone bodies and reduce alcohol withdrawal symptoms in humans with AUD, and reduce alcohol consumption in alcohol-dependent rats. The study investigates whether metabolic ketosis induced by a one-dose nutritional ketone ester (KE) reduces brain reactivity to alcohol cues (fMRI), alcohol craving and alcohol consumption in humans with AUD, and if KE elevates ketone bodies using proton spectroscopy. This study uses a double blind, random ordered, 2-way crossover design in n=20 non-treatment seeking AUD who come in on two separate testing days: on one testing day the participants consume KE ((R)-3-hydroxybutyl (R)-3-hydroxybutyrate), and on another testing day a drink with isocaloric dextrose (DEXT), after which participants are scanned for 1H-MRS and fMRI and complete an alcohol consumption paradigm each day after scanning.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do clinical trials in Pennsylvania pay?
Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.
How do clinical trials in Pennsylvania work?
After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across trials in Pennsylvania 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length in Pennsylvania is 12 months.
How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?
Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility in Pennsylvania several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.
What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?
The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.
Do I need to be insured to participate in a medical study in Pennsylvania?
Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.
What are the newest clinical trials in Pennsylvania?
Most recently, we added Adalimumab + Verapamil for Type 1 Diabetes, LevoCept for Birth Control and Semaglutide for Alcoholism to the Power online platform.
