Male Contraception Study

This study is being done in order to investigate a combination hormonal gel Nestorone® and testosterone. The study gel that will be used in this study is experimental and being developed as a possible new method for male birth control.  PI: Alison Edelman, MD, MPH eIRB#21247

Implant Extension Study

The etonogestrel implant is approved for use to prevent pregnancies for up to 3 years. It has not been approved to use for more than 3 years. This trial will also study the amount of etonogestrel hormone that is released from the implant into your body when it is used for more than 3 years.

PI: Alison Edelman; IRB#: 21992

Injectable Contraceptive Study

This study is currently closed to enrollment.

The purpose of this study is to investigate levonorgestrel butanoate (LB) as a possible long-acting and reversible injectable for contraception.  PI: Jeffrey Jensen MD, MPH eIRB# 20726

LevoCept® Hormonal IUD Study

This study is currently closed to enrollment.

The purpose of this study is to investigate a new form of hormonal contraception called LevoCept® as a possible long-acting and reversible hormonal IUD. PI: Jeffrey Jensen MD, MPH eIRB# 21929

Diagnosis of Heavy Menstrual Bleeding Using Alternative Period Products

This study may help us compare the use of menstrual cups and period underwear to disposable pads and tampons in people who have heavy periods. PI: Bethany Samuelson Bannow, MD IRB# 23666

SERENE Study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of an investigational contraceptive treatment in women with uterine fibroids or endometriosis who are between the ages of 18 and 50 who are at risk of pregnancy. PI: Jeffrey Jensen MD, MPH; eIRB#: 22888

CCN019B DPV-LNG Ring Study

The purpose of this study is to investigate a vaginal ring being developed for HIV and pregnancy prevention. PI: Alison Edelman MD, MPH; eIRB#:23538

Perinatal Early Determinants of Immune Development (PedsID)

Determine how the maternal immune system during pregnancy impacts neonatal immune system development, and whether there are factors that influence infant health.

PI: Nicole Marshall, MD, MCR; eIRB: 20735

Time-in-range using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) technology in the management of gestational diabetes (GDM)

If you are currently pregnant and have been diagnosed with gestational diabetes by a glucose tolerance test, you may qualify for this study.  The purpose of this study is to learn about continuous glucose monitor (CGM) use during pregnancy, which may improve treatment decisions for your gestational diabetes. PI: Amy Valent, DO; IRB#21775

Exercise and Pregnancy Study

This is a study designed to measure the effects of the timing of low-resistance or cardio exercise on blood sugars after eating a meal. We are inviting pregnant women at less than 30 weeks who have been diagnosed with gestational diabetes and are managing their diabetes with nutrition and lifestyle behaviors. PI: Amy Valent, DO; IRB: 20116

Pregnancy and Latent Labor Biomarkers and Symptoms to Predict Cervical Dilation at Hospital Admission

The purpose of the study is to learn about physical signals and symptoms that mean labor is close to starting and the early part of labor (sometimes called ‘latent labor’ or ‘early labor’) is occurring. We are hoping to find out more about physical markers (like heart rate) and symptoms (like contractions) that mean labor is close to starting and that the early part of labor is occurring. PI:Ellen Tilden, CNM, FACNM; eIRB# 20328

Placenta repository: A study of placental function in healthy and pathological pregnancies

Our long term goal is to identify pregnancies that are at risk of poor outcomes and to develop methods for prevention and treatment. PI: Leonardo Pereira, MD; IRB# 16328

VentFirst: A multicenter RCT of assisted ventilation during delayed cord clamping for micro-preemies

The purpose of this study is to determine whether delaying clamping of the umbilical cord up to 120 seconds and assisting breathing for extremely premature babies during that time reduces intraventricular hemorrhage (bleeding in the brain). PI: Jamie B. Warren, MD, MPH; IRB#15777

Endometrial Biopsy Study

The purpose of this research is to study the endometrium (the tissue lining the uterus) in order to learn more about possible medical treatments for endometriosis, a painful condition in women in which the endometrium develops abnormally on the pelvic organs. PI: Jeff Jensen, MD MPH; IRB#: 5108

Personalized Genetic Medicine to Prevent Invasive Uterine Cancer and Unnecessary Hysterectomies

The purpose of the study is to learn if molecular testing of endometrial biopsies from women diagnosed with pre-invasive complex “hyperplasia” can show who will or will not respond to progestin treatment with placement of the Levonorgestrel Intrauterine Device (LNG IUD). PI: Terry Morgan, MD, PhD; IRB#19503
