St. Augustine Study (ILLUMINATE)

Celiac Gluten

Celiac Disease

Celiac disease is a genetic autoimmune disease that affects the digestive system. It is triggered when a person consumes gluten, which is a protein found in rye, wheat, and barley. When a person with celiac disease eats gluten, their immune system reacts to the protein by attacking the small intestine. Despite attempts to maintain a gluten-free diet, many individuals with celiac disease continue to have symptoms and/or intestinal damage due to gluten exposure. Clinical research is necessary to develop potential new therapies.

We are seeking volunteers for a research study to evaluate the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of a new investigational medication for individuals with celiac disease who are on a gluten-free diet.

You may be eligible if you:

  • Are 12 to 75 years old
  • Have celiac disease (confirmed by a biopsy or blood test)
  • Have been attempting to maintain a gluten free diet for at least 12 months
  • Have a BMI between 16 and 35 inclusive

There are additional criteria to qualify for this study. Volunteers who qualify for the 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.

      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.

      • Inverness Study (CLEG)
      Inverness Study (CLEG)

      We are conducting a clinical trial for people who have active EoE.

      This study will evaluate an investigational drug in adults with EoE to see how it reacts with a group of enzymes in the body called CYP (also known as cytochrome P450) that break down drugs.

      The drug-drug interaction study will examine if there are any changes in CYP activity when the study drug and 5 selected approved drugs are given together. The study drug is a biologic agent, called a monoclonal antibody, and will be administered once a week for 17 weeks during the study.

      This study will also evaluate whether the study drug helps the symptoms of EoE, such as trouble swallowing.

      You may be eligible to participate if you:

      • Are 18 – 75 years old
      • Weigh at least 40 kg (88.2 lbs.)
      • Have a diagnosis of eosinophilic esophagitis and active symptoms
      • Are willing and able to receive weekly injections
      • Used or are using proton-pump inhibitor medications but still have symptoms (these are medications used for EoE, heartburn, or indigestion, such as omeprazole [Prilosec], lansoprazole [Prevacid], esomeprazole [Nexium])

      Volunteers must be able to complete some overnight stays at our clinic for this study. 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. Study participants receive payment for each study visit they attend to reimburse for their time.  No health insurance is required to participate.

        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.

        St. Augustine – Study (HERMES)

        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.

        Cardiovascular Disease Risk Research

        Is your LDL cholesterol between 70 and 190? If so, you may be at risk for major cardiovascular events even if you are not experiencing heart symptoms. Preventing a heart attack and stroke is the best line of defense. Cardiovascular disease can cause major cardiovascular events including heart attack, stroke, and cardiovascular death. Research on new medications is needed to help prevent major cardiovascular events.

        We are conducting a research study for volunteers that will evaluate an investigational preventative medication for patients with an increased risk of Cardiovascular Disease.

        You may be eligible if you:

        • Are 40-79 years old
        • Have LDL cholesterol levels between 70 and 190 mg/dL
        • Have NOT had a major cardiovascular event such as heart attack or stroke
        • Are at an increased risk of a first major cardiovascular event, defined by one or more of the following:
          • Coronary artery disease (CAD)
          • High coronary artery calcium (CAC) score
          • Elevated Lipoprotein (a) or hsCRP
          • South Asian Ancestry
          • A family member with cardiovascular disease
          • Pregnancy complications (preeclampsia, gestational hypertension, or gestational diabetes)
          • Metabolic syndrome
          • Chronic Inflammatory disorders including rheumatoid arthritis, lupus (SLE), psoriasis (>10% of the body), Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, or HIV/AIDS

        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.

        Inverness Study #1 (Pursuit)

        High LDL Cholesterol Research 

        Dyslipidemia is one of the major risks for the leading cause of mortality worldwide, cardiovascular disease. Dyslipidemia means abnormal levels of fats (lipids) in the blood. Extra fats in the blood can accumulate in the arteries, increasing the risk of heart disease, heart attack, and stroke. A particularly dangerous type of fat is low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, often abbreviated to LDL-C. Statins have traditionally been the go-to medication to treat high cholesterol, but some patients continue to have persistently high LDL-C despite taking these medications. Some researchers hope to fight high cholesterol using a new class of medication called PCSK9 inhibitors that may help the body break down LDL-C and reduce cholesterol levels. 

         

        Nature Coast Clinical Research – Inverness is conducting a research study to evaluate a new investigational PCSK9 inhibitor medication for dyslipidemia. 

         

        You may be eligible to participate if you: 

        • Are 18-75 years old 
        • Have high LDL-C Cholesterol (70-189) 
        • Are on daily moderate or high-dose statin therapy 
          • Atorvastatin 10+ mg 
          • Lovastatin 40+ mg 
          • Pravastatin 40+ mg 
          • Rosuvastatin 5+ mg

          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
