Evaluation of Patients with Endocrine-Related Conditions Clinical Trials Info presented on Clinical Trials Search isn't intended to be a substitute for certified health advice, travels to or treatment by using a genuine physician. We are not physicians. Always consult your dr. on Evaluation of Patients with Endocrine-Related Conditions conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a site committed to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Evaluation of Patients with Endocrine-Related Conditions Clinical research trials and Evaluation of Patients with Endocrine-Related Conditions health trials occur in hundreds of cities throughout the U.S.A.. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials typically assess the effectivity of new drugs. The propose of the studies / undertakings is to resolve certain human health questions. Clinical trials are a popular means for physicians, government agencies, and private sector companies to locate treatments for all sorts of conditions, including Evaluation of Patients with Endocrine-Related Conditions. Evaluation of Patients with Endocrine-Related Conditions Clinical Trials and other clinical trials permit volunteers to acquire medical treatment choices before they are available to the masses. Some times the test subjects obtain professional assistance for free, and every now and again they are compensated for their time. Sometimes there is a cost for a Evaluation of Patients with Endocrine-Related Conditions clinical trial. Participants oftentimes recieve the most expert healthcare available for their Evaluation of Patients with Endocrine-Related Conditions condition. Hazards are a reality, however, and can include extra or frequent physician visits, health risks (potentially life-endangering), and/or the treatment being uneffective. Trials are federally governed with rigorous guidelines to protect clinical trials subjects.

Evaluation of Patients with Endocrine-Related Conditions
For Condition: Hyperinsulinemia,Type II Diabetes Mellitus,Glucose Intolerance,Impaired Glucose Tolerance,Non Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus,Endocrine Disease,Obesity
Status: Recruiting
Sponsor(s): National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) ,
Synopsis: This study will evaluate patients with a variety of endocrine disorders in order to 1) learn more about conditions that affect the endocrine glands (glands that secrete hormones) and 2) to train physicians in endocrinology. Patients of all ages with endocrine-related conditions may be eligible for evaluation under this protocol. Those enrolled may be required to provide blood, saliva, urine or stool samples, and to undergo ultrasound examination of the thyroid gland, ovaries or testes, adrenal glands or other parts of the body. Laboratory or X-ray studies may be done for diagnostic or treatment purposes. In some cases, patients will receive medical or surgical treatment for their disorder. Patients and family members of patients with a hereditary disorder may be asked to provide a blood sample for genetic analysis.
Details: This protocol is designed to allow inpatient and outpatient evaluation of patients with a variety of endocrine disorders for purposes of research and physician education in our accredited endocrinology training programs. The research-directed evaluations may include blood, saliva, urine or stool samples, and/or ultrasound examinations. In some cases, laboratory or radiological studies will be performed to confirm the diagnosis or to aid in the management of the patient, as would be done in current clinical practice. In some cases, the patient will receive medical or surgical treatment for their disorder. The purpose of these evaluations or treatments will be to support our clinical training or research missions.
