Video-feedback Intervention to Promote Racial-Ethnic Socialization Competency (VIP-RACE)

Depressive Symptoms ยท Anxiety Symptoms ยท Conduct Problems

The aim of this study is to evaluate a novel cultural strengths parenting program - the Video-feedback Intervention to Promote Racial-Ethnic Socialization CompEtency (VIP-RACE) - which seeks to support Latine parents' motivation to engage in racial-ethnic socialization (RES) and strengthen their RES competency (improved skills and confidence, decreased stress). In the preliminary phases of this project, we iteratively refined the VIP-RACE program in partnership with advisory boards of youth, parents, and providers. The refined intervention will now be tested with five parents of 10-14-year-old Latine youth to identify gaps in the curriculum and obstacles to implementation that can be addressed prior to a larger pilot. The investigators will then conduct a proof-of-concept single-arm trial with Latine families to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of VIP-RACE. The investigators hypothesize that VIP-RACE will be shown to be feasible and acceptable to families. The investigators also predict that bolstering parents' RES motivation and competency will result in increased frequency and quality of these conversations between parents and youth which, in turn, are expected to strengthen youth racial-ethnic identity and coping and have cascading effects on mental and behavioral health.

A Prospective, Multi-center, Randomized Controlled Blinded Trial Demonstrating the Safety and Effectiveness of VNS Therapyยฎ System as Adjunctive Therapy Versus a No Stimulation Control in Subjects With Treatment-Resistant Depression

Treatment Resistant Depression

Objectives of this study are to determine whether active VNS Therapy treatment is superior to a no stimulation control in producing a reduction in baseline depressive symptom severity, based on multiple depression scale assessment tools at 12 months from randomization.

Sleep Promotion Program Primary Care

Sleep ยท Sleep Disturbance ยท Insufficient Sleep

Investigators developed a brief, scalable, behavioral Sleep Promotion Program (SPP) for adolescents with short sleep duration and sleep-wake irregularity, which relies on two individual sessions and smart phone technology to deliver evidence-based strategies. This R34 will test the feasibility and initial effectiveness of the SPP program and provider training via pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT, n=50) comparing SPP to Sleep Psychoeducation, a brief session on healthy sleep habits. Participants will be adolescents (12-18 years) with short sleep duration, sleep-wake irregularity, and depression.

Sparrow Link Neuromodulation Device for Opioid Withdrawal Management in Hospitalized Adults With Opioid Use Disorder

Opioid Withdrawal ยท Opioid Use Disorder (OUD)

This study is evaluating the Sparrow Link, a wearable device that delivers gentle electrical signals to nerves in the outer ear (a technique known as transcutaneous auricular neurostimulation, or tAN). The goal is to assess whether the device is feasible to use, acceptable to patients, and may help reduce opioid withdrawal symptoms in hospitalized adults being treated for opioid use disorder (OUD). Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the active device or a sham (inactive) version. Neither participants nor their clinical teams will know which version is used. All participants will continue receiving standard hospital care for opioid withdrawal. Researchers will collect information on how long participants use the device, whether they stop using it early, and changes in withdrawal severity. The study will also examine pain, craving, mood, anxiety, heart rate variability, and opioid use during hospitalization.

Study of Lumateperone as Adjunctive Therapy in the Treatment of Patients With Major Depressive Disorder

Major Depressive Disorder

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled parallel-group, fixed-dose study in patients with a primary diagnosis of MDD according to criteria of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5) who have an inadequate response to ongoing ADT.

Neuromodulation of Brain and Emotional Responses to Psychological Stress

Healthy ยท Anxiety

Investigators are conducting this study to test if temporarily and non-invasively stimulating the brain will affect the emotional response to stress in healthy participants. Participants will perform a series of tasks while completing an MRI scan. After this, participants will be randomized to undergo transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) at two visits, undergoing active stimulation at one visit and undergoing 'sham' stimulation at another visit. Immediately following both stimulation sessions, participants will repeat the tasks during MRI scanning.

Study of ITI-1284 as an Adjunctive Treatment in Patients With Generalized Anxiety Disorder

Generalized Anxiety Disorder

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluating the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of ITI-1284 compared with placebo as adjunctive therapy to GAD treatment in patients meeting Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, Text Revision (DSM-5-TR) criteria for GAD who have an inadequate response to ongoing GAD treatment.

Clinical Trial for Integrated Care to Help At Risk Teen (iCHART) Intervention

Suicide and Depression ยท Adolescent Behavior

This 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.

A Study to Assess the Efficacy, Safety and Tolerability of VLS-01 Buccal Film, Compared to Placebo in Patients With Treatment Resistant Depression (ELUMINA)

Treatment Resistant Depression

This Phase 2 study (protocol number VLS-01-203) will determine the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of short-term treatment with a VLS-01 transmucosal buccal film (VLS-01-BU) in patients with treatment resistant Major Depressive disorder (TRD) and will characterize the onset and durability of antidepressant effects of VLS-01-BU versus placebo.

Get ActivE Study for At-risk Youth

Anhedonia ยท Depression and Suicide Ideation

The study will adapt and deploy a digital Behavioral Activation app with mobile sensing, supported by health coaches, that encourages youth to engage in positive activities. The study has the potential to offer a low-cost and scalable behavioral intervention that may decrease risk of suicide among at-risk youth. This research will examine specifically whether an intervention involving an app called Vira, combined with health coaching (GET ActivE) can improve enjoyment for teens coping with depression. Research participants will be randomly assigned to one of two study intervention. One study intervention involves a) downloading an app called Vira and engaging by responding to a daily question, and b) participating in a conversation via text, phone, or messages through an appt with a health coach. The health coach will use the Vira app and principles from evidence-based therapy and behavior change to provide users with insights to sustain well-being and better manage risk factors for suicidal thoughts and behaviors such as depressed mood and behavioral withdrawal. The second study intervention involves downloading an app called EARS and responding to a daily question.
