Mindfulness App for Cancer Survivors
Brandon, ManitobaThere is a need to develop, evaluate, and disseminate self-directed, easily accessible, safe, affordable, and effective psychosocial interventions to people living with cancer (PLWC) post-treatment. Smartphone app-based health interventions are an innovative way to deliver psychosocial cancer-care. The Mindfulness-Based Cancer Survivorship (MBCS) Journey app is a mobile app format of the Mindfulness-based Cancer Recovery program. In the SEAMLESS Study, the investigators aim to evaluate the MBCS Journey app (a 4 week mind-body intervention) in cancer survivors post-treatment. This is a randomized wait-list controlled trial. Participants will either be assigned into the immediate group (will receive intervention immediately after enrollment) or the waitlist group (wait for 3 months before receiving the intervention).

Mindfulness for Anxiety During the Coronavirus Pandemic
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaThe goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the SMILE app, a Digital Health Platform (DHP), that will deliver a mindfulness intervention, designed to mitigate COVID-19 related stress. Additionally, the SMILE app will remotely collect self-reported psychological and physiological metrics of mental health and autonomic regulation. Study participants are adults who self-identify as African American, Black and/or Latino, and who have clinically significant levels of anxiety.
The study aims are:
* Aim 1: Establish the effectiveness and durability of an 8-week Mindfulness DHP intervention. The investigators will focus on two constructs important to mental health and hypothesize that: A) Anxiety, self-report stress and quality-of-life measures will significantly improve when comparing: A.1) Pre-to-post intervention, and; A.2) Control vs. intervention groups over 8 weeks and at 1-month follow-up. B) Arousal, autonomic indices of HRV (reflecting parasympathetic activation) will significantly improve, when comparing: B.1) Pre-to-post intervention, and; B.2) Control vs. intervention groups over 8 weeks and at 1-month follow-up.
* Aim 2: Establish the sustainability of two Mindfulness DHP interventions utilizing retention, usage (frequency), and participant satisfaction.
* Aim 3: Examine associations between COVID-19 related stress, mental health outcomes, and HRV. Examine the extent to which COVID-19 related stress and mental health symptoms are linked to HRV at baseline and how that relationship changes over time.
Participants will be assigned to 1 of 3 arms of the study: MTIA intervention, MAPP intervention, or wait-list control. All participants will be mailed a device with the SMILE app installed, and the equipment for recording cardiac data in the home. All participants will complete the baseline psychometrics measures and physiological stress test using the instructions provided on the SMILE app. Those assigned to the MTIA or MAPP intervention groups will then participate in their assigned intervention over the subsequent 8 weeks. During these 8 weeks, psychometric and physiological data will be completed biweekly for all participants. 3 months following the initial baseline, all participants will complete a final psychometric/physiological evaluation.

Mindfulness or Exercise for Mental Health
Baltimore, MarylandThe investigators will be randomizing 150 college student participants with high levels of social media use into either a 1) control condition (no intervention), a 2) mindfulness meditation cognitive intervention, or 3) a social media reduction + exercise replacement intervention. Participants complete intervention activities daily for one week. The investigators will collect self-report and behavioral measures of social media use and related psychological constructs at three time points: baseline, immediately after the intervention period, and one-week after the intervention period.

Trimodal Prehabilitation for Colorectal Cancer
Kingston, OntarioThe goal of this clinical pilot is to determine the feasibility of implementing trimodal prehabilitation within the current perioperative infrastructure in patients having major colorectal surgery for resection of a cancer (CRC). Trimodal prehabilitation includes exercise, nutrition and mindfulness coaching and support which has been shown to improve physical status, mental preparation and to reduce loss of lean body mass in CRC patients. The primary questions this study aims to answer are: Is delivery of trimodal prehabilitation feasible within our current perioperative infrastructure and does prehabilitation impact outcomes in these patients? Researchers will compare this newly recruited prehabilitation cohort to a historical cohort of patients who did not receive prehabilitation in terms of mortality, length of stay, complications, readmissions, emergency department visits and non-home discharge.

Mindfulness for Alcoholism
Albuquerque, New MexicoOver half of state and federal prisoners meet clinical criteria for alcohol abuse or dependence, and after release from prison, over three-quarters of offenders are re-arrested within five years. Thus, there is a critical need for more effective interventions that could help disrupt this insidious cycle of alcohol abuse, criminal behavior, and incarceration. This project will support the development and evaluation of a mindfulness intervention for female prison inmates that will target key neuropsychological vulnerabilities that are associated with relapse and recidivism.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do 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 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 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 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 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 clinical trials ?
Most recently, we added Mindfulness App for Cancer Survivors, Mindfulness for Spinal Cord Injury and Emotional Resolution Therapy for Anxiety to the Power online platform.
