Bryan Clinical Research Center

The mission of the Bryan Clinical Research Center is to advance knowledge through leading edge research, while promoting the health and well-being of research patients. The research center is committed to thoughtful collaboration with study sponsors, physicians, hospital services, clinics and research participants to provide cutting edge research to safely advance the health of current and future participants. 

What is clinical research, and is it right for you?

Clinical research is the comprehensive study of the safety and effectiveness of the most promising advances in patient care. It involves people who volunteer to help us better understand medicine and health. Every drug, device, tool, diagnostic test, technique and technology used in medicine today was once tested in volunteers who took part in clinical research studies.

Bryan’s Clinical Research Center offers studies for both outpatients and hospital inpatients. Participation is always voluntary, and participants can leave a study at any time for any reason.

Active Clinical Trials

The Bryan Clinical Research Center is currently managing the following clinical studies:

HipAttack-2

Study Name: Hip Fracture Accelerated Care and Treatment Track
Study Sponsor: Population Health Research Institute
Principal Investigator: Steve Shannon, MD

Description: Millions of adults globally suffer a hip fracture annually. Approximately 20-25% of the patients who have a hip fracture have evidence of a heart injury when they present to the hospital. Patients with a hip fracture and myocardial injury have a much worse prognosis than patients with a hip fracture and no myocardial injury.  HIP-ATTACK-2 is a large international randomized controlled trial to assess the impact of accelerated medical clearance and surgery versus standard care in hip fracture patients who also have an acute myocardial injury when they present to the hospital. Patients who have suffered a hip fracture and have an elevated troponin level are eligible for the study.

Status: Currently enrolling

Completed Clinical Trials

The Bryan Clinical Research Center has completed the following clinical studies:

IMPACT2

Study Name: In-Home Study with MiniMed™ 780G Pump Automated Control in Type 2 - Evaluation of the AHCL System in Adults with Insulin-requiring Type 2 Diabetes
Study Sponsor: Medtronic
Principal Investigator: Shannon Wakeley, MD

Description: Type 2 diabetes mellitus, formerly known as non-insulin dependent diabetes and mature-onset diabetes, is characterized by a lack of insulin or insulin resistance In adults, type 2 diabetes accounts for 90–95% of all diagnosed cases of diabetes. The MiniMed 780G system is a closed loop insulin system. In addition to automatically adjusting the amount of insulin delivered based on sensor glucose readings, the MiniMed 780G insulin pump can also automatically deliver correction boluses as needed. The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of the MiniMed 780G system when used by adults with insulin-requiring type 2 diabetes. Patients with a clinical diagnosis of type 2 diabetes for 2 years or more, who are receiving 2 or more injections daily of long-acting insulin and rapid-acting analogs may be eligible for this study.

Status: Study completed - in follow up

RESET-RA

Study Name: Vagus Nerve Stimulation Using the SetPoint System for Moderate to Severe Rheumatoid Arthritis
Study Sponsor: SetPoint Medical
Principal Investigator: Steven Gogela, MD and Melvin Churchill, MD

Description: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease associated with progressive joint damage, disability and systemic complications. There is an unmet medical need for alternative therapies for patients who fail to respond to or are intolerant of approved targeted agents. A medical device may offer a useful, alternative solution to patients, caregivers and healthcare payers. The SetPoint System is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with active, moderate to severe RA who have had an inadequate response or intolerance to 1 or more biologic or targeted synthetic anti-Inflammatory drugs. The SetPoint System comprises 2 implantable parts and 2 external parts. Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis who have demonstrated an inadequate response, loss of response, or intolerance to 1 or more approved for RA may be eligible for this study.

Status: Study completed - in follow up
