tcVNS for Juvenile Arthritis
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaThe study is a multicenter, double-blind, sham-controlled trial to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of tcVNS on pain and inflammation associated with JIA. tcVNS is administered with a device that gives off mild electrical impulses through the skin to stimulate the vagus nerve. Part of the vagus nerve and its branches are located in the head and neck. For this study, the impulses will be administered in areas overlying the vagus nerve using a small electrode. The electrode helps to conduct the stimulation through the skin. This stimulation triggers a chemical response through the nerves and has been found to be effective in reducing pain and inflammation in several diseases.
The primary objective of this study is to determine the effect of tcVNS on JIA ACR 50 in participants with active JIA. The components of the active and sham tcVNS devices, utilizing the Roscoe Medical TENS 7000, have been FDA 510(k)-cleared and have been determined by the IRB to be a nonsignificant risk device.

Diet Intervention for Juvenile Arthritis
London, OntarioFamilies of children with arthritis are highly interested in the benefits of diet to improve their child's disease and future health outcomes. Previous research shows that the germs - bacteria and other organisms - that live in the intestines (gut microbiome) are important to how well immune systems work, and that what people eat changes their gut microbiome. The investigators want to study whether a certain diet - based on the principles of the Mediterranean Diet - will improve arthritis for children and whether it was changes in the microbiome that led to improvement.
Fifty-four participants in this study will change their diet for an 8-week period, and will have the option of remaining on the diet for an additional 4 weeks. At three time points during the study (beginning, 8 weeks, and 12 weeks), participants will provide stool and blood samples, will complete questionnaires about diet and other aspects of lifestyle and health, and will complete a disease assessment by a clinician. From collecting all these samples and information, the investigators will be able to determine if the diet was successful in improving disease activity in children with arthritis and if the gut microbiome was changed as well.
This study will help the investigators figure out if a larger, and more definitive, study like this is possible to do in children with arthritis and will help the investigators design a bigger multinational study to confirm how diet affects disease outcomes and the microbiome in children with arthritis. If successful, this research will provide scientific knowledge to help families make their way through this difficult to- navigate topic.

Transition Coaching for Juvenile Arthritis
Hamilton, OntarioPediatric patients with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis or Inflammatory Bowel Disease who are preparing to transition into adult care face many unique challenges, and, to date, there is no comprehensive and implementable model of transition care in Canada or the United States. These patients, in addition to the systemic inflammatory nature of their diseases, are also in a period of immense psycho-social stress due to changes in school structure, employment, and general psycho-social growth. A poorly managed transition can have adverse effects on the quality and experience of care as well as contribute to poor disease outcomes including increased morbidity and even mortality.
The goal of this study is to determine the feasibility of using a transition coach intervention to help patients in their transition from pediatric to adult care.

Upadacitinib + Tocilizumab for Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis
Charlotte, North CarolinaJuvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) is the most common type of arthritis that affects children. The term "idiopathic" means "of unknown origin". It is a chronic (long-lasting) disease that causes swelling, warmth, and pain of one or more small joints. Systemic JIA ia a rare and serious form of JIA. Systemic" means it may affect not only the joints but other parts of the body, including the liver, lungs and heart. sJIA is more severe and can be more challenging to diagnose and treat than other types of juvenile idiopathic arthritis. It is a lifelong disease for many patients and can continue into adulthood. This study will assess how safe and effective upadacitinib is in treating pediatric and adolescent participants aged 1 to \< 18 with systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA) and will include a tocilizumab treatment arm for reference. Adverse events and change in the disease activity will be assessed.
Upadacitinib is an investigational drug being developed for the treatment of sJIA. Participants are assigned to 1 of 2 cohorts. In cohort 1, participants will receive upadacitinib or tocilizumab reference. In cohort 2, participants will receive upadacitinib. Approximately 90 participants with sJIA will be enrolled in approximately 45 sites worldwide.
Participants will receive upadacitinib oral tablets once daily or oral solution twice daily or tocilizumab subcutaneous injection or intravenous infusion as per local label for 52 weeks and followed for approximately 30 days.
There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits/calls during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.

Community-Based Activity Program for Physical Disabilities
Montreal, QuebecParticipation in community-based activities is essential to the health and well-being of youth with physical disabilities; yet, it is extremely restricted. Emerging treatment approaches aimed at improving participation have shifted from focusing only on impaired body functions towards the performance of functional meaningful activities within the youth's natural environment. Investigators' initial results from studies in Quebec show that targeting intervention at the activity/participation level can result in improvement of impaired body functions (e.g., balance, attention, anxiety) - important components to address in rehabilitation. Investigators' team aims to continue studying the impact of participation by launching a larger more rigorous study. Investigators have partnered with major organizations providing rehabilitation services for youth as well as key community-based stakeholders including youth, clinicians, and managers, and together investigators plan to further examine whether engaging in an 8-week community-based activity individually chosen by the youth (e.g., sledge hockey, drawing, playing a musical instrument) can lead to a significant improvement in three key body functions: motor, behavioral and emotional. One hundred and fifty youth with physical disabilities living in Quebec and Ontario will participate and engage in an activity of choice. Changes in their body functions (e.g., movement, attention, mood) will be measured multiple times before, during and after engagement in the chosen activity. Findings of this study can guide clinicians, families and policy-makers to select effective approaches that not only promote participation but also facilitate additional motor and mental benefits from a single intervention. Such 'real-world' treatment approaches involving activities of choice can also increase motivation, compliance and reduce burden on the healthcare system and on the youth and families.

PREP Intervention for Youth with Physical Disabilities
Montreal, QuebecThe goal of this clinical trial is to learn about how a participation-based intervention builds capacity of youth with physical disabilities to pursue activities of their choice in the community. The investigators plan to examine in what ways working with a therapist to set up and engage in an 8-week self-chosen community-based activity builds capacity of youth with physical disabilities to pursue a new activity of their choice in the community without the support of a therapist.
During this study, participants will be followed for 26 weeks. Youth will work with an occupational therapist (OT).
* In the first week, the OT will meet with youth to set a community-based leisure goal. Examples of activities could include music, sports, cooking lessons, painting, or photography, in the youth's community.
* The OT will work with youth to identify and remove barriers. They will also adapt the activity to help youth do the activity for 8 weeks. During this time, the OT will perform site visits to consult and support youths' involvement as needed. (Weeks #1-8)
* Youth will have a four-week break after completing their first activity. (Weeks #9-12). Then, youth will be asked to choose a second (new) activity. They will try to start this activity for 8 weeks without the OT. (Weeks #13-20)
* At the end of these 8 weeks, the same therapist will help the youth for 6 weeks if needed to do their second activity. (Weeks #21-26)
Youth will be asked to complete the following online:
1. A standard demographic questionnaire (during the first meeting).
2. Rate their perceived performance in the chosen activity once a week.
3. A questionnaire about their daily participation in the community. This will be done at the start and end of the study.
4. A questionnaire about how well they feel they are able to do things. This will be done three times.
5. Share steps they take to participate in the activity. This will be done through a weekly diary entry. In addition, three one-on-one interviews (for about an hour each) will be done remotely (using Microsoft TEAMS) to share their experience pursuing their selected activities. Interviews will be done before starting their second (new) activity, after 8 weeks of pursuing the new activity on their own, and after 6 weeks with OT support. These interviews will be video, and audio recorded and transcribed.
This study examines 'real-life' experiences and participation outcomes of youth with physical disabilities after a participation-based capacity-building intervention.

Ondansetron Premedication for Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis
Montréal, QuebecFar too many kids and families live in dread over the weekly nausea and vomiting caused by methotrexate - a medicine that controls joint swelling in Juvenile Arthritis patients. If methotrexate is not tolerated, expensive alternative biological medications may be started. This registry-based pragmatic randomized controlled trial will evaluate if routine premedication with the anti-emetic drug Ondansetron, reduces nausea and vomiting and increases the proportion of children able to continue methotrexate. By preventing nausea before it starts, the investigators hope to give kids and families a better quality of life and see a more cost-effective use of medication.

Shared Decision Making for Juvenile Arthritis
Vancouver, British ColumbiaThe PERSON-JIA Trial is a cluster-randomized trial testing the use of Shared Decision Making (SDM) with families for treatment of children with arthritis. The intervention is a discussion between physicians and families at the time of diagnosis that uses computer-generated personalized outcome reports generated by previously developed prediction algorithms.
By using information provided by thousands of families, the investigators have developed a way of providing answers to common questions asked by patients and their families at diagnosis.
We will test whether a structured discussion and shared decision between families and doctors (guided by the patient's personal report) will improve the tailoring of treatment to the child and control of their disease. The personal report is called the PERSON-JIA report and presents the child's expected disease severity, the likelihood the child will be arthritis free by age 18 and the chance treatments will be effective and/or have side effects. This way, answers to these questions can be shared by physicians and families to weigh potential benefits and harms according to family values and preferences.
The investigators expect that using the personalized report in a frank and thoughtful discussion will help physicians and families make better decisions about managing the child's disease. This in turn will result in better disease control, greater family engagement and satisfaction with care and better-tailored treatment. If so, this will be a ground-breaking way of using information provided by families and doctors to improve the care provided to and the outcomes of children with arthritis in Canada.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis clinical trials 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 Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis clinical trials 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 Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis trials 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 for Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis 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 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 Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis medical study ?
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 Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis clinical trials ?
Most recently, we added Etanercept Dosing for Arthritis, Multidisciplinary Care for Rheumatoid Arthritis and Stem Cells for Juvenile Arthritis to the Power online platform.
