      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.

      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.

          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.

          Worsening Heart Failure Research 

          Are you or someone you know currently experiencing swelling in the legs or feet due to worsening heart failure? If you need an increase in your diuretics to address your symptoms, you may be eligible to participate in our heart failure clinical research study.  

          Nature Coast Clinical Research – Inverness is conducting a research study that will evaluate an investigational medication for people with Worsening Heart Failure. 

          You may be eligible to participate if you:

          • Are 18+ years old 
          • Are currently taking heart failure medication

          • Need an increase in your diuretics (oral or IV) 
          • Have at least two of the following symptoms of worsening heart failure congestion:  
            • Dyspnea (Difficult or labored breathing)  
            • Orthopnea (shortness of breath that occurs while lying flat and is relieved by sitting or standing)  
            • 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) 

          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.

          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.
