Cancer Counseling for Elderly Patients with Cancer
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaThe purpose of this study is to examine whether psychoeducation counseling for older cancer patients undergoing treatment is feasible and worthwhile. The investigators will test this in a group or individual phone counseling format. Many cancer patients seek counseling to help with the emotional burden of their illnesses. Counseling often helps them cope with cancer by giving them a place to express their feelings. This geriatric-specific psychoeducation is intended to help older cancer patients cope with the burden of cancer and aging. The purpose of this study is to see if this type of counseling helps reduce depressive symptoms, anxiety, perception of loneliness and isolation. In addition this counseling aims to improve coping and quality of life (QOL).
Individuals who choose not to take part in the intervention study will be asked if they are willing to participate in a brief refusal sub study. The purpose of the refusal substudy is to compare levels of distress in patients that choose to participate and those that decline. This will yield valuable data that will help us distinguish between patients that decline due to lack of interest in research and those that decline due to high levels of distress. Participation in the refusal sub study consists of completion of 2 brief questionnaires.

Health Screening and Referral for Premature Birth
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaUp to a quarter of the families with preterm infants have unmet social needs, such as housing or job insecurity, which represent adverse social determinants of health (SDOH). Preterm infants are especially vulnerable to the social conditions they grow up in, with sustained impacts on function across multiple organ systems. The goal of this study is to translate an established model of SDOH screening and referral from the outpatient setting to the NICU, thereby maximizing the potential to offset the effects of adverse SDOH on vulnerable mother-preterm infant dyads.

Exercise for Multiple Sclerosis
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaThis multi-center, randomized controlled feasibility trial will assess a 20-week home-based exercise intervention in youth with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). The goal is to determine the feasibility of conducting a larger, definitive trial on exercise training as a non-pharmacological approach to improve disease outcomes in this population.
Participants will be randomized to either an Exercise Training Intervention group or a Mobility and Flexibility Training control group. The investigators will evaluate differences between the two groups in physical activity levels, mediators of physical activity, and psychosocial outcomes. Assessments, including clinical exams, brain MRI, MEG/eye tracking, cognitive testing, blood draws, and questionnaires, will occur at baseline and after 20 weeks. Accelerometry will be done at baseline, 10 weeks, and 20 weeks to track physical activity.
The primary objectives are to assess the feasibility of recruiting, retaining, and randomizing youth with MS and to evaluate adherence to the exercise intervention and coaching sessions. Exploratory objectives include examining changes in depressive symptoms, cognitive function, blood biomarkers (BDNF and irisin), brain volume, and fitness levels in response to the intervention.
Approximately 40 participants will be enrolled from four sites in Canada and the United States.
Primary outcomes include feasibility, acceptability, and fidelity measures. Exploratory outcomes include blood biomarkers, brain MRI, cognitive testing, and other neuropsychological measures.

TMS for Depression
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaThe purpose of this study is to investigate the responses of the brain region known as the subgenual anterior cingulate cortex (sgACC) during transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in individuals with depression. Specifically, investigators aim to determine whether the sgACC is engaged when TMS is delivered to specific targets and if the engagement of sgACC changes throughout a full TMS treatment intervention. To achieve this goal, the investigators will employ a combination of TMS and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) procedures.
Study participation will include completing various questionnaires, clinical assessments, receiving a full transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) treatment intervention (every weekday for 6 weeks), and undergoing MRI scans, both with and without concurrent TMS.

iCHART Intervention for Teen Suicidal Behavior
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaThis protocol will test the effectiveness of an intervention, iCHART (integrated Care to Help At-Risk Teens) and facilitate recruitment for other studies in the larger ETUDES Center grant, which are focused on treatment development for target risk factors for suicidal behavior, specifically, sleep, anhedonia, and stress related to cybervictimization. This study will recruit 900 adolescents which will be enrolled in a randomized controlled trial to test iCHART and will be randomized to iCHART or treatment as usual (TAU). Based on previous work, the investigators hypothesize that iCHART, compared to TAU, will decrease suicidal-related events by 50%, and the effects will be mediated by increases in referrals, treatment engagement, and safety planning. The investigators will use implementation science methods to assess contextual factors (i.e., barriers and facilitators) and implementation outcomes specifically, acceptability, feasibility, appropriateness, and cost for our predictive algorithm and iCHART to inform future implementation efforts and promote health equity.

HOME Intervention for Postpartum Health
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaThe goal of this educational clinical trial is to identify Black women most at risk for poor outcomes following delivery, the problems they experience, and to create a system to improve quality of postpartum care for high-risk women. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are:
* How can the investigators help postpartum Black people who have poor outcomes by decreasing the number of ED visits/readmissions for postpartum people within the first 30 days postpartum?
* How can the investigators increase the ability of participants to "obtain needed services" and ability for patients to see their provider when they need to, in the 30-day post discharge period as one of the main pathways of unnecessary ED visits?
Participants will be put into the study group or control group. The study group will receive a pamphlet postpartum with helpful information as well as a patient navigator who the participants will be able to reach out to their first 30 days postpartum.

Cognitive Behavioral Intervention for Caregiver Stress Syndrome
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaBased on preliminary work, whereby investigators examined pain management challenges and needs of caregivers of hospice patients with dementia, this team designed a cognitive behavioral intervention informed by the relational model of stress, entitled ENCODE (Empowering Caregivers of Patients with Dementia) to assist caregivers in effectively identifying and communicating their pain management challenges and needs. The investigators propose a 5-year randomized clinical trial in which caregivers of patients with Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD) will be randomly assigned to a group receiving standard hospice care with the addition of "friendly video-calls" providing social support (attention control group) or a group receiving standard hospice care with the addition of the ENCODE intervention (intervention group).

Digital Well-Being Program for Healthcare Workers' Mental Health
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaFor this project the broad research objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of an enhanced digital wellbeing program in improving well-being, depression, anxiety, stress, resilience, and job satisfaction of physicians. The intent of the investigators is that this will enable a proactive culture of well-being and mental health support for the broader healthcare workforce during the multiple phases of the pandemic.
The investigator's approach evaluates existing digital models which can be executed in a timely fashion and rapidly scaled for use across other health systems.
Aim 1: Conduct interviews of URM and women physicians to identify barriers and facilitators to accessing and receiving digital well-being, mental health, and culturally sensitive support resources.
Aim 2: Through a randomized controlled trial (RCT) investigate the immediate and long-term effect of a comprehensive well-being focused intervention (push text messaging, resource support, semi-facilitated peer groups hosted by Cobalt) vs. usual care on well-being, depression, anxiety, stress, resilience, and job satisfaction of physicians practicing in the era of COVID.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do Depression clinical trials in Philadelphia, PA pay?
Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.
How do Depression clinical trials in Philadelphia, PA work?
After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Depression trials in Philadelphia, PA 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length in Philadelphia, PA for Depression is 12 months.
How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?
Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility in Philadelphia, PA several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.
What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?
The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.
Do I need to be insured to participate in a Depression medical study in Philadelphia, PA ?
Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.
What are the newest Depression clinical trials in Philadelphia, PA ?
Most recently, we added Morphine or Ketamine for Pain, RISE for Domestic Violence and Pramipexole vs Escitalopram for Depression in HIV to the Power online platform.
What do the "Power Preferred" and "SuperSite" badges mean?
We recognize research clinics with these awards when they are especially responsive to patients who apply through the Power online platform. SuperSite clinics are research sites recognized for a high standard of rapid and thorough follow-up with patient applicants. Meanwhile, Power Preferred clinics are the top 20 across the entire Power platform, recognized for their absolute top patient experience.
Which clinics have received Power Preferred and SuperSite awards recruiting for Depression trials in Philadelphia, PA ?
