This clinical trial will consist of a single arm, where participants, after a 1-week baseline period, will be placed on daily BRB administration for a period of 8 weeks followed by a 4 week washout period. Prior to study enrollment, all participants will have an Oral Cancer screening intraoral exam
PRIMARY FEASIBILITY OBJECTIVE:
I. To evaluate the feasibility of establishing a diet intervention trial with longitudinal microbiome collection in Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center (OSUCCC) Lung Cancer Screening Clinic (OSUCCC-LCSC).
PRIMARY SCIENTIFIC OBJECTIVE:
I. To determine the
A large number of basic research and animal experiments have confirmed that black raspberry and its active ingredients are used for chemo-prevention of tumors. In recent years, it has been reported that black raspberry extract can effectively inhibit the proliferation of human oral cancer cells and
STUDY RATIONALE:
Hypomethylating agents (HMAs) such as azacitidine and decitabine are FDA approved therapies for MDS patients. Approximately 50% of patients respond to HMAs. In addition, HMAs have improved survival and quality of life of patients with MDS when compared with other
Obesity prevalence is increasing around the world and the United Kingdom is no exception. Latest statistics show that approximately 25% of the UK population is obese and is predicted to rise to 70% by 2020 if present trends continue. Obesity is particularly widespread in Scotland where approximately
High glycemic index (GI) foods generally contain simple sugars and/or highly processed and refined carbohydrates (e.g., instant oatmeal and white bread). These foods are rapidly digested, which raises blood glucose and insulin to higher concentrations and more rapidly compared to low GI food items.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Determine the effect of black raspberry phytochemicals on community dynamics within oral biofilms.
II. Examine the effect of oral bacterial communities on metabolism of black raspberry phytochemicals in current and never smokers.
III. Evaluate the efficacy of black raspberry
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To select an optimal black raspberry confection based on altered gene expression and chemical profiles in healthy individuals exposed to 3 black raspberry-based amorphous functional confections with modulated bioactive release rate at two doses (4 g and 8 g).
OUTLINE:
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To conduct a dose-escalation study to determine safety and compliance of varying lyophilized black raspberry (LBR) delivery vehicles (a gummy confection and a nectar) at two different doses.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To precisely quantify changes in the content and distribution
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To conduct an initial early phase clinical study utilizing a high ar-risk and underserved Appalachian population who are former oral cancer patients to determine the practicability of long-term daily freeze-dried black raspberry (BRB) (BRB lozenge) administration and to gain
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Determine the adherence of post-surgical head and neck (HN) cancer patients to clinical trial design expectations and define tolerability and potential adverse effects of long-term black raspberry administration in this patient cohort.
II. Determine the effects of dose and
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the relationship between the length of short-term lyophilized black raspberries (LBR) administration to human oral cancer patients and the modulation, in oral cavity tissues, of a subset of specific genes previously identified by us to be "LBR-responsive" and
In the United States, more people (161,840 per year) die of lung cancers than of prostate cancer, breast cancer and colon cancer combined. Presently, there are over 43 million current smokers and over 47 million ex-smokers living in the US. Due to the lag time between smoking and the development of
