Summary

This study is an 8-week cannabis reduction trial among adults (ages 18+; N=176) with CUD who are interested in reduction to assess effects of cannabis reduction on: 1) cannabis-related problems and consequences, 2) objective measures of sleep and cognitive performance, and 3) patient-reported improvements, including quality of life and CUD severity. All participants will receive CUD treatment and cannabis use will be comprehensively assessed via detailed self-report and urinary cannabinoids.All participants will receive cognitive behavioral treatment (CBT4CBT- a computerized cognitive behavioral therapy) enhanced with motivational interviewing, brief counseling, and financial incentives provided on a sliding scale for demonstrating reduction in urinary cannabinoids.

Summary

Cutaneous lupus is a common manifestation of childhood-onset Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (cSLE), affecting up to 85% of patients. Skin involvement can cause irritation, scarring, hair loss, changes in skin color and appearance, which may negatively impact quality of life and mental health. This study aims to assess the impact of cutaneous lupus on quality of life and mental health in diverse pediatric populations, with the goal of identifying disparities and improving individualized care. We will use validated surveys to assess disease burden on quality of life.

S2417CD: A Pragmatic Randomized Controlled Trial to Evaluate the Effectiveness of an Intervention Called Current Together after Cancer (CTAC) to Promote Guideline-Concordant Colorectal Cancer Surveillance

PRO Number

Researcher
Maggie Westfal

List of Studies

Keywords
Cancer
Summary

This study is for patients who have completed curative-intent treatment for colorectal cancer. It is testing an educational website called Current Together After Cancer (CTAC) to see if it improves follow-up care, including knowledge about cancer recurrence, recommended tests, and self-management of health. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two versions of the website, with or without additional features for engaging a support person, and can use it on a computer, tablet, or smartphone. The study will last up to 16 months, including website use, surveys, and optional interviews, with participation completely voluntary. The goal is to determine whether CTAC helps patients better understand follow-up care and engage their supporters to improve adherence to recommended surveillance. There will be a total of 21 patients enrolled locally over the course of 36 months.

Characterizing dyadic communication challenges and support needs in young adults caring for a parent with metastatic cancer

Date Added

Researcher
Kelly Hyland

List of Studies

Keywords
Cancer, Cancer/Breast, Cancer/Lung
Summary

Half of caregivers in the US are adults caring for a parent, and many of these are young adults, between the ages of 18-35. This presents communication and quality of life challenges for both the young adult child caregiver and parent with cancer; however, this dyad (e.g., two people together) has not been well studied. We will conduct interviews with young adult child caregivers and parents with cancer to learn more about communication challenges and support needs in this dyad. Dyad members will also complete self-report measures asking about mood, coping, communication and quality of life. Findings will inform the development of an intervention to improve dyadic communication and quality of life.

Summary

M1095-HS-303 is a Phase 3, multicenter, open-label extension study to evaluate the long-term safety, tolerability, and efficacy of sonelokimab in participants with moderate to severe HS who were previously enrolled in a parental study.
Rollover to this OLE study will occur at the time of the End-of-Treatment (EOT) visit of the parental study. Upon enrollment into this study, each participant can continue to receive sonelokimab 120 mg every 4 weeks (Q4W) for up to 2 years, with a safety follow-up (SFU). Visit 8 weeks after the last dose of study treatment. Following successful training and supervision, sonelokimab will be self-administered by the participant (or caregiver if required) at home and at the study center.

At-home transcutaneous auricular neuromodulation (tAN) for women with postpartum depression: an open label trial

Keywords
Anxiety, Depression, Women's Health
Summary

This is an open-label pilot study firstly assessing safety and feasibility of a form of ear stimulation called transcutaneous auricular neuromodulation, or tAN, in women with postpartum depression (PPD). Secondly, we will be assessing the impact of at-home tAN on mood, empathy, and physiological markers of sympathetic activity in women with PPD. Participants will learn how to self-administer ear stimulation treatments in the lab before starting the at-home study. Over the course of one week, participants will self-administer ear stimulation treatments three times a day. Each treatment will last up to 60 minutes (1 hour) and there will be a break of at least 30 minutes in between treatments. The study team will ask participants to complete a group of questionnaires at the beginning and end of the study, as well as undergo heart rate variability (HRV) assessments and provide salivary samples. There will also be a smaller number of questionnaires completed electronically at the midpoint of the study. The questionnaires will ask questions about mental health symptoms that subjects may or may not be experiencing, including questions about mood, anxiety, and feelings towards their newborn.
