5 research studies open to eligible people

Showing trials for

  • Dietary Intervention to Improve Kidney Transplant Outcomes

    open to eligible people ages 18 years and up

    Randomized controlled trial of a curriculum intervention teaching patients to eat a whole-food plant-based dietary pattern versus standard of care in kidney transplant recipients within the first few months of transplant

  • Anti-inflammatory Diet in Osteoarthritis

    open to eligible people ages 18 years and up

    In a previous exploratory study, the investigators observed an effect on disease activity outcomes of anti-inflammatory diet. The investigators also observed change in microbiome and circulating metabolites. The current study will determine whether or not the addition of anti-inflammatory diet improves the clinical outcomes in participants with Osteoarthritis, and the role of microbiome and circulating metabolites.

  • Enhanced SUPport for Initiation and paRticipation in a FOOD is Medicine Program

    open to eligible people ages 18 years and up

    The purpose of this research is to see if offering more navigation and text-message support will help increase participation and engagement in a Food is Medicine program. The study will recruit people currently participating in cardiac rehabilitation. People will be randomly assigned to 1 of 4 study groups: navigation, text-messaging, both, or neither. People will complete surveys at the start of the study and after 3 months. After 3 months, we will compare how many Food is Medicine meals or groceries people in each group received.

  • Nutrition for Precision Health, Powered by the All of Us

    open to eligible people ages 18 years and up

    The goal of this investigational study is to develop algorithms that predict human response to foods. The main question it aims to answer are: - How does varying foods and eating patterns impact one's biological and physiological responses? - In what ways can novel dietary assessment measures be used to improve dietary assessments and to prescribe assessments to people in future research with increased precision? - Can artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques be combined to prescribe foods and eating patterns to individuals for optimization of their health? There are 3 Modules participants may take part in: - Module 1- A participant's dietary intake and accompanying nutritional status, biological and other measures will be observed over 10 days, as well as physiological responses to a liquid mixed meal tolerance test will be measured. - Module 2- Participants will undergo three controlled dietary interventions provided for 14-days each and separated by washout periods of at least 14 days. Physiological responses following a diet-specific meal test will be measured. - Module 3- Participants will undergo the same three dietary interventions during the same 14 day periods as Module 2 while being studied in-residence. Physiological responses following a liquid mixed meal tolerance test and a diet-specific meal test will be measured.

  • Test Whether Time-restricted Eating Coupled With a Healthy Diet is Beneficial in Liver Cancer Patients

    open to eligible people ages 18 years and up

    This is a feasibility study that will collect data to assess the potential effect of a nutritional intervention designed to improve liver metabolism. This prospective single-site trial will enroll adult patients undergoing liver-directed therapies for hepatocellular carcinoma. Eligible individuals who are randomized to the intervention group will be enrolled in a six-month nutritional change program consisting of time-restricted eating in which calorie consumption is limited to 8-10 hours during the day, plus targeted healthy changes in what they eat. The intervention includes dietary counseling visits with a study registered dietitian and motivational phone calls with a study Certified Health and Wellness Coach to help subjects adhere to the intervention. Individuals in the control group will be enrolled in a six-month period of observation only. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is a prolonged nightly fast coupled with a healthy diet safe and feasible for patients with liver cancer? Does the intervention improve liver metabolism?
