Norovirus-Research.jpg

August 15, 2024

Norovirus is a highly contagious virus that is the leading cause of acute gastroenteritis (stomach bug) and foodborne illness in the U.S., striking people of all ages with sudden bouts of severe nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, and diarrhea.

Norovirus remains a formidable public health challenge, causing millions of cases of acute gastroenteritis annually. Despite its widespread impact, there is currently no approved vaccine to prevent acute gastroenteritis caused by the norovirus. To combat this persistent virus clinical trials are imperative to develop an effective norovirus prevention vaccine.

ENCORE Research Group is conducting a Phase 3 clinical research study to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of an investigational vaccine to prevent norovirus acute gastroenteritis.

You may be eligible to participate if you:

  • Are 18 or older
  • Do NOT have a diagnosis of chronic symptomatic gastrointestinal disease, including IBS, colitis, esophageal reflux, or any other medical condition that is associated with symptoms of regular vomiting or diarrhea
  • Are NOT currently pregnant or breastfeeding

There are additional criteria to meet to qualify for this study. Volunteers who qualify for our study will receive study-related investigational vaccines, medical exams at no cost, and a stipend for time and travel. No health insurance is required to participate.

      April 28, 2020

      Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic, immune-mediated disorder. EoE symptoms can overlap with symptoms of a condition called gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).

      Patients with EoE experience symptoms described as:

      • feeling like food or liquid is moving slowly
      • feeling food or liquid going down
      • food getting stuck in the esophagus
      • acid reflux, chest pain, nausea, vomiting
      • failure to thrive (children), regurgitation and esophageal strictures.

      It occurs in approximately 1 in 10,000 people and affects people of all age groups, with males being affected more frequently. EOE is associated with food allergies or other allergens, causing eosinophils (type of white blood cell) to migrate from the bone marrow (via blood) and settle in the esophagus causing inflammation to the esophagus. No one knows exactly why EoE occurs.  People with EoE tend to have allergic conditions such asthma, seasonal allergies, allergic rhinitis, and eczema.

        Diabetes-Overweight-6.jpg

        September 13, 2023

        Type 2 Diabetes and Increased Risk for Heart Disease or Stroke

        Type 2 diabetes is frequently associated with coexisting conditions such as increased weight, hypertension, and increased blood lipoprotein (fat/cholesterol) concentrations. People with type 2 diabetes have a higher risk for cardiovascular disease. Global studies show approximately a third of individuals with type 2 diabetes have cardiovascular disease.

        We are conducting a research study that will be comparing a new investigational medication with insulin therapy for people with type 2 diabetes and excess weight who are at risk for heart disease or stroke.

        You may be eligible if you:

        • Are at least 18 years of age
        • Have a BMI of 25 or higher
        • Have type 2 diabetes with an HbA1c between 7 and 10.5
        • Are taking at least one oral medication for diabetes
        • Have or are at risk for heart disease, stroke, or other blood vessel diseases, or have kidney disease

        There are additional criteria to meet to qualify for this study. Volunteers who qualify for our study will receive study-related medication and medical exams at no cost, along with a stipend for time and travel. No health insurance is required to participate.

          Heart Failure

          Heart failure is a serious medical condition where the heart cannot effectively deliver enough oxygenated blood to the organs. It affects millions of Americans and may have debilitating symptoms including edema, shortness of breath, systemic inflammation, and reduced quality of life.

          Heart Failure Clinical Research

          Heart failure is a serious medical condition where the heart cannot effectively deliver enough oxygenated blood to the organs. It affects millions of Americans and may have debilitating symptoms including edema, shortness of breath, systemic inflammation, and reduced quality of life. Even with the best available treatment, there is still a risk of serious complications. Reducing the amount of systemic inflammation may increase health outcomes for people with heart failure. We are conducting a research study for people with heart failure that will evaluate the effectiveness of an investigational drug on cardiovascular health outcomes.

          You may be eligible if you:

          • Are 18 or older
          • Have heart failure
          • Have a preserved or mildly reduced ejection fraction (LVEF >40%) documented by echocardiography within the past 12 months

          There are additional criteria to meet to qualify for this study. Volunteers who qualify for our study will receive study-related medication and study-related medical exams at no cost and a stipend for time and travel. No health insurance is required to participate.

            • Fatigue (a feeling of constant exhaustion, burnout or lack of energy)  
            • Jugular venous distention (when the vein that runs down the right side of the neck is swollen)  
            • Rales (Small clicking, bubbling, or rattling sounds in the lungs)  
            • Edema (swelling caused by too much fluid trapped in the body’s tissues)

          Inverness – Study (Reduced EF)

          Heart Failure Research

          With heart failure, the heart becomes incapable of pumping enough blood to meet the needs of the entire body. This condition affects millions of Americans and can limit how much ordinary physical activity people can perform. Despite long-term trends, recent data shows that the rate of heart failure is on the rise for many Americans. Clinical research is needed to address this growing concern. 

          Nature Coast Clinical Research – Inverness is conducting a research study for volunteers to evaluate an investigational medication for people with Heart Failure and a reduced ejection fraction. 

           You may be eligible to participate if you: 

          • Are 18+ years old 
          • Have symptoms of heart failure 
            • Shortness of breath 
            • Fatigue 
            • Chest pain 
          • Have an Ejection Fraction (LVEF) less than 50% 
          • Have been on stable ACE inhibitor, ARB medication, or Entresto for at least 1 month 

          There are additional criteria to meet to qualify for this study. Volunteers who qualify for our study will receive study-related medication and medical exams at no cost, along with a stipend for time and travel. No health insurance is required to participate.
