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.

    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.

        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.

        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.

        Jacksonville: University Blvd – 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.

        Dyslipidemia Cholesterol Research

        Jacksonville Center for Clinical Research is conducting a research study that will evaluate an investigational medication for Dyslipidemia.

        We have many different types of fats (called lipids) in our blood. Keeping these fats in blood balanced is critical to health. When they are out of whack, we experience dyslipidemia. Dys– meaning “bad,” lipid– indicating the lipids, or fats, and –emia meaning “presence in blood”. Dyslipidemia, or “bad lipid presence in blood”, is when the lipids in the blood are out of balance. Dyslipidemia may lead to atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), when cholesterols, fats, and other materials build up on the inside of our blood vessels and sometimes cause heart attack, stroke, and/or pain.

        You may be eligible to participate if you:

        • Are 18 to 65 years old
        • Have a BMI between 18 and 35
        • Have elevated lipid levels
          • Fasting triglycerides between 150 and 500
          • LDL-C levels between 70 and 190
        • Are currently being treated with cholesterol lowering medication

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