Lifestyle Intervention for High Blood Pressure
Birmingham, Alabama
The goal of this study is to test an intervention to prevent high blood pressure among rural, Black adults living in Alabama. Black adults in this region have one of the highest rates of high blood pressure in the US. Eating fruits and vegetables and exercising daily lowers the chance of getting high blood pressure. Many problems get in the way of eating a healthy diet and exercising like a lack of grocery stores with fresh foods, few gyms, little money, lack of transportation, and limited support for keeping healthy habits. One place where many Black adults in rural Alabama meet weekly and feel supported is their church. The investigators will connect with 30 churches in rural Alabama. The investigators plan to hold health fairs to find 12 Black adults from each church with blood pressure that is higher than normal but not high enough to need blood pressure lowering medications. The investigators will randomly select 15 churches to get group health education and tablets to access online cooking shows and exercise classes. Adults in the other 15 churches will get support from a health coach over the telephone to help set and meet diet and physical activity goals as well as the group health education and tablets to access online cooking shows and exercise classes. In this study, the investigators will ask church members to sign up to be a health coach. These 15 churches will also get money to help bring healthy foods and/or physical activity opportunities to their communities. The investigative team will train 2 to 3 of their church members to learn how to coach others to eat more healthy food and be more physically active. This study answers two questions. 1) Will this intervention designed to reduce barriers to a healthy lifestyle lower blood pressure among rural, Black adults? 2) Can churches and participants complete the whole two-year study, and can the intervention be used in other communities in a cost-effective way to improve blood pressure? This project will add to the health equity mission of the American Heart Association by finding out if an intervention using health coaches lowers blood pressure among rural Black adults.

Movement-2-Music Exercise Program for Mobility Disabilities
Birmingham, Alabama
The purpose of this study is to test the effects of an innovative exercise program referred to as movement-2-music (M2M) on health and fitness outcomes in adults with physical/mobility disabilities. One hundred and eight participants with physical/mobility disabilities will be recruited and randomly enrolled into one of two groups: a) M2M or b) waitlist control. The primary aim of this study is to determine the effects of a 12-week M2M program on health and fitness in participants with physical/mobility disabilities who are in one of three functional mobility groups: 1) Group I - only able to exercise while sitting, 2) Group II - able to exercise sitting and standing with/without support, and 3) Group III - able to exercise one side of the body more than the other side. The second aim is to compare the observed effects of the program in this study to a previous M2M study that groups participants based on disability type. The third aim of this study is to test whether adherence (defined as attendance to the 12-week program) affects the effects of M2M in participants with physical/mobility disabilities. The potential influences of different functional mobility and disabilities of participants on how the program affects participants' health and fitness outcomes will also be tested.
\*\*In response to COVID-19, the 12-week M2M intervention and all assessments have been modified from being delivered in-person at Lakeshore Foundation to being delivered remotely in real-time through videoconferencing technology.\*\*

Cxbladder Triage Plus for Hematuria
Homewood, Alabama
This study includes adult patients who see a urologist because of blood in their urine. The amount is so small it can only be seen with a microscope. This is called microhematuria. There can be many reasons for microhematuria. One of them is bladder cancer. While bladder cancer is one of the biggest worries, it is only found in few of these patients.
Most microhematuria patients will have a cystoscopy to look inside the bladder. During a cystoscopy, a small camera is inserted into the bladder. This is done through the urethra, the tube that passes urine from the bladder to the outside. In some patients it can cause pain or anxiety. Not all patients have a cystoscopy. Those that don't, usually return for a urine sample within 6 months. This is done to check if there is still blood in their urine.
This study is conducted to find out if the use of "Cxbladder Triage Plus" changes the number of cystoscopies in microhematuria patients. Cxbladder Triage Plus is also called "Triage Plus". It is a lab test that was developed to check how likely urothelial carcinoma is present in the bladder. Urothelial carcinoma is by far the most common type of bladder cancer. For the test, the patient voids some urine into a cup. A laboratory then checks the urine of specific genetic material. Abnormalities can be a sign of urothelial carcinoma. The result indicates if the urine is more like most normal urine or more like that of urothelial carcinoma patients.
The study is done to find out how Triage Plus changes the number of cystoscopies. Study participants first void urine into a cup. The urine is used for the Triage Plus test. The patients are then assigned to one of two groups. The assignment is random. This means the nobody can influence the assignment. The chance to be assigned to either group is the same. In the test group, the urologist will receive the Triage Plus result and discuss it with the patient. Together they decide whether to do a cystoscopy. In the control group, the urologist will not receive the Triage Plus result. The patient will also not get the result. The urologist and patient will follow standard of care to decide whether to do a cystoscopy.
For test group patients, the study gives a recommendation whether to proceed with cystoscopy. It is based on the patient's Triage Plus result. The urologist and patient do not need to follow the recommendation. If the urologist does not follow it, they will complete a survey. The survey has only one question. It is asking for the reasons of the decision.
After making their decision, patients will follow the chosen pathway. Data on the performed procedures are collected. The diagnosis will also be documented. Data will be collected for up to about 9 months.
To see how Triage Plus changes the number of cystoscopies, these will be counted in each group and then compared.

Carbohydrate-Restricted Diet for Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
Birmingham, Alabama
This will be a 6-month randomized clinical trial with two arms: moderately carbohydrate-restricted diet and a fat-restricted control diet. This 6-month study will have 2 phases: a 12-week controlled feeding phase and a 12-week "free living" phase. During the controlled feeding phase, all food will be provided to the families of the participants for the entirety of the 12 weeks. Participants (n=80) will have been diagnosed with NAFLD based on the presence of current evidence of active disease, which will be determined by the ongoing presence of hepatic steatosis estimated by diffusely echogenic liver via ultrasound suggestive of fatty liver and a serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) level of 45 U/L or greater. All participants will be children and adolescents age 10-17 yrs.; will have an HbA1c \<7.0; and will be overweight or obese (BMI \>85th percentile). It is anticipated that most participants will be sedentary. The investigators will inquire as to routine physical activity at screening. All participants will be asked to maintain their usual level of physical activity throughout the study. Physical activity will be monitored via a smart watch provided to each participant at the beginning of the study, and participants will be queried weekly by the study dietitian regarding changes in physical activity. Participants who use oral contraceptives will be asked to maintain consistent use of these preparations throughout the study. Hormone use will be examined as a potential covariate in statistical analyses.

VR-Based Mobility Training for Low Vision
Birmingham, Alabama
The human subject research is a randomized, controlled training trial that tests the effectiveness of three Virtual Reality-based Intelligent Orientation and Mobility Specialists (VR-IOMSs) in teaching orientation and mobility (O\&M) task skills to low vision patients. It will be conducted on two sites, University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) and Alabama Institute for Deaf and Blind (AIDB). The same protocol will be used on both sites. UAB will be the sIRB for the trial.
Three O\&M tasks will be studied, timing to cross a signalized street using the near lane parallel traffic surge skill, timing to cross an uncontrolled street using the traffic gap judgment skill and learning outdoor numbering system. A VR-IOMS will be develop for each task. The training does not involve research subjects walking into street traffic.
Low vision subjects who have difficulties with these O\&M tasks due to their impaired vision will be randomized into three groups, learning the task from a VR-IOMS (experimental group), from a human Certified Orientation \& Mobility Specialist (COMS) in real streets (active control group) and not learning the task but spending the same amount of time watching low vision education videos (placebo group). All subjects will be evaluated by COMSs in real streets around the two study sites before training (pre-training), within 3 days after the completion of training (post-training) and 3 months after the completion of training (follow up). Their ability to perform the O\&M tasks will be assess quantitatively using objective methods. COMSs who conduct these evaluations will be blinded for subject training assignment.
The primary outcome measure is the training effect, the difference in task performance between the pre-training and post-training real street evaluations. The training effects of the 3 groups will be compared to determine the training effectiveness of the VR-IOMS relative to human COMS. Secondary outcome measures include the retainment of the training effect. Objective assessment of the VR-IOMS training process and trainee subjective evaluation of the VR-IOMS training will also be analyzed.

Why Other Patients Applied
"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."

Sleep Management for Nicotine Addiction
Birmingham, Alabama
The number one preventable cause of death in the world is tobacco use. Cigarette smoking in particular, costs an estimated $300 billion due to expenses related to medical care and lost productivity. Despite similar smoking prevalence rates, blacks suffer disproportionately from smoking-related harms compared to whites.Sleep disparities such as shortened sleep duration, shorter circadian periodicity, earlier chronotype, and increased variability of sleep timing have been reported more frequently in blacks compared to whites. Given that poor sleep quality predicts relapse from smoking cessation programs, particularly among socioeconomically disadvantaged adults, sleep deficiencies and irregular timing of sleep may impact smoking craving and withdrawal symptoms over the course of the 24-hour day. Surprisingly, few studies have examined these temporal patterns of smoking and craving, and none with regard to sleep disruption, chronotype or racial disparities. A better understanding of these factors may explain heterogeneity within the smoking population, especially in minorities. Thus, the purpose of this proposal is to test the central hypothesis that the impact of chronotype and impaired sleep on cigarette usage as well as smoking dependence, urge/craving, and withdrawal depends on race.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do clinical trials in Columbiana, AL 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 Columbiana, AL 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 Columbiana, AL 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 Columbiana, AL 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 Columbiana, AL 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 Columbiana, AL?
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 Columbiana, AL?
Most recently, we added BI 764198 for Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis, VX-407 for Polycystic Kidney Disease and BMS-986368 for Alzheimer's Disease to the Power online platform.
