Virtual Reality for Acute Pain in Children

Columbus, Ohio
The objective of this study is to develop central nervous system (CNS) biomarkers of pain experienced during medical procedures and pain relief induced by Virtual Reality Pain Alleviation Therapy (VR-PAT). The study team plans to use innovative functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to identify and quantify the targeted CNS biomarkers. The ultimate goal of this project is to optimize the CNS biomarkers for predicting and/or monitoring response to virtual reality (VR)-based pain reduction approaches for pain management in clinical trials. 20 healthy children will be recruited for a 1-hour research visit where they will wear a blood pressure cuff to simulate pain and an fNIRS neuroimaging device while playing an immersive/engaging VR game, a passive VR video, and an iPad game.

Tax Conditions for Smoking

Roanoke, Virginia
In a within-subject design, investigators will use the Experimental Tobacco Marketplace (ETM) to systematically impose 4 novel tobacco/nicotine tax proposals (Tobacco Parity, Nicotine-Content, Harm-Reduction, and Modified Risk Tobacco Product-related taxes) covering a broad range of tax magnitudes. Participants will complete one control trial and all conditions (tax proposals) in the ETM with 5 trials each. Analyses will model the quantity of the product purchased as a function of tax tier (i.e., high, medium, no tax) and examine poly-tobacco purchasing.

FluMos-v2 Vaccine for Flu

Bethesda, Maryland
Background: Vaccines help the body learn to fight infections. Some vaccines are combined with adjuvants, which are added substances that make vaccines work better. FluMos-v2 is an experimental flu vaccine; ALFQ is an experimental adjuvant. Objective: To test FluMos-v2, with and without the ALFQ adjuvant, in healthy adults. Eligibility: Healthy adults aged 18 to 50 years. They must have received at least one flu vaccine from the 2020-21 season through the 2023-24 flu season. They must also agree not to receive the licensed 2025-26 flu vaccine. Design: Participants will have 12 clinic visits over 15 months. Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam and blood tests. On 2 visits, about 4 months apart, participants will receive a vaccination. The shots will be given into the muscle of the upper arm. They will get a follow-up call the day after each shot. They will keep a daily diary for 7 days; they will record their temperature and any other symptoms they feel after each shot. All clinic visits will include collection of blood, saliva, and nasal secretions. If participants develop flu symptoms (such as fever, runny nose, sore throat), they will be asked to come to the clinic. About 2 weeks after each vaccination, participants may opt to undergo apheresis: Blood will be taken from the body through a needle inserted into one arm. The blood will pass through a machine that separates out the white blood cells. The remaining blood will be returned to the body through a needle in the other arm.

Changing Narrative Intervention for Injury Prevention

Washington, District of Columbia
The Run It Up project is an experimental, theory-driven effort to address a specific connection between structural factors, youth identity development, and violence, where structural factors in some communities may limit adolescent beliefs about potential life-trajectories ("possible selves"), and foreground potential trajectories that include violence as integral. The intervention seeks to counter that dynamic by: 1) identifying alternative, non-violent identity trajectories that have attributes meaningful for youth and actualizing those trajectories through a community support structure; and 2) developing and disseminating multiple media products featuring narratives about these alternative trajectories. The goal is to change the calculation of possible selves for adolescents in the identity development stage through the introduction, and actualization, of desirable, tangible trajectories that do not involve violence or pro-violence norms, resulting in a reduction of youth involvement in firearm violence. The intervention and research is being conducted through a partnership between the George Washington University Milken Institute School of Public Health and the Washington, DC community of Washington Highlands, and is funded through a grant from the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD). In the first phase, formative research was completed to identify attributes and alternative non-violent trajectories, determine intervention elements, develop an intervention "brand" representing the attributes, develop a baseline-follow-up survey measuring theoretical mediators/moderators, outcomes, and other potential influencing factors, and identify community data to be used for a time-series analysis. Now in the second phase, the baseline data from a sample of community youth and parents/guardians are currently being collected prior to implementing the intervention. Evaluation is a two group, quasi-experimental community cohort design using survey and community-level data.

Hookworm Vaccine for Hookworm Infection

Washington, District of Columbia
An experimental hookworm infection model is being developed to provide early proof-of-concept that a hookworm vaccine targeting the blood-feeding pathway of adult hookworms is feasible and efficacious. The proposed model consists of vaccinating healthy, hookworm-naïve adults with a candidate hookworm vaccine, followed by challenging them with the investigational product, Necator americanus Larval Inoculum to assess the effect of vaccination on infection. The first proposed study will be a feasibility study that will consist of administering different doses of the Necator americanus Larval Inoculum to healthy adult volunteers to determine the optimal dose (i.e., number of infectious larvae) that is safe, well-tolerated and results in consistent infection.

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation for Pain

Hanover, New Hampshire
This double-blind randomized crossover study aims to examine the effects of left primary motor cortex (M1) tDCS on evoked thermal pain perception, pain-related decision making, and placebo effects by manipulated pain and monetary offers accepted by others. The investigators plan to collect data for up to 50 participants who undergo four separate sessions: an initial pain calibration session and three experimental sessions with either anodal, cathodal, or sham tDCS. Each session includes pain testing before and after a single tDCS protocol (either anodal, cathodal, or sham), a pain-monetary decision-making task, and social placebo pain tests. All tasks following tDCS will take place inside the MR scanner. The investigators hypothesize that anodal M1 tDCS will decrease pain ratings, and that cathodal tDCS will increase them, both relative to the sham condition. The investigators will also examine the effects of M1 tDCS on social decision-making to examine whether it affects participants' valuation of pain and their altruistic behavior, as well as how these same factors impact pain sensation in the placebo task. The investigators hypothesize that participants will behave hyperaltruistically during the decision-making task, and that the same factors that influence choice will also impact pain perception in the same context.

Internet Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Social Anxiety

Greenfield Park, Quebec
The objectives of the study are to 1) to translate and adapt iCBT Shyness Program to the Canadian context; 2) to examine the completion and effectiveness of the Canadian adapted, including the French translated and English iCBT Shyness Program, in improving SAD symptoms; 3) to explore barriers and facilitating factors to the program's implementation. The overall study design is a hybrid effectiveness-implementation study of a quasi-experimental parallel group trial reflecting real world pathways (recommended and self-referrals). The project will be conducted in two Canadian provinces: Quebec (Montérégie) and Ontario. Prior to implementing the iCBT Shyness Program, it will undergo an initial adaptation to the Canadian context and focus groups will be conducted with key actor groups to discuss the adaptations to the graphics, narration of the modules, and this to better reflect varying sociocultural context among Canadian French- and English-speaking populations. We will then evaluate the outcomes associated with the implementation of the program in a three-pathway parallel trial. As a last step to this trial, semi-structured interviews will be conducted with study participants and health care providers to explore facilitating factors and barriers to the implementation of the iCBT adapted program.

Single-Session Interventions for Depression

Chicago, Illinois
This project aims to learn if new kinds of digital single-session interventions (SSIs) for depression could be effective for American adults. Many existing SSIs are delivered in a simple text-based format. However, it might be that different kinds of SSIs (in terms of both content and style) also have potential for scalable impact. Specifically, this study will investigate the effectiveness of 11 innovative SSIs by comparing them to a passive control and to an existing SSI with established efficacy.

Imaginal Exposure for Hoarding Disorder

Palo Alto, California
The present study will test a potential new treatment strategy, imaginal exposure, for hoarding disorder. Although cognitive behavioral therapy often reduces hoarding, some people do not want to start, or cannot handle, that option. To help such individuals, the present study will provide imaginal exposure therapy to people with hoarding disorder, wherein they imagine discarding possessions as a way of becoming acclimated to the idea. We predict that imaginal exposure will improve hoarding symptoms as well as two psychological experiences linked to the condition: intolerance of uncertainty and emotional avoidance.

Why Other Patients Applied

"I have dealt with voice and vocal fold issues related to paralysis for over 12 years. This problem has negatively impacted virtually every facet of my life. I am an otherwise healthy 48 year old married father of 3 living. My youngest daughter is 12 and has never heard my real voice. I am now having breathing issues related to the paralysis as well as trouble swallowing some liquids. In my research I have seen some recent trials focused on helping people like me."

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Experimental 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 Experimental 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 Experimental 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 Experimental 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 Experimental 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 Experimental clinical trials?

Most recently, we added Vitamin B3 for Healthy Volunteers, Virtual Reality for Acute Pain in Children and FluMos-v2 Vaccine for Flu to the Power online platform.
