The purpose of this study is to test if treatment with tralokinumab is safe and effectful to treat moderate-to-severe atopic hand eczema. This will be judged by a range of assessments that rate the severity and extent of atopic hand eczema and its symptoms, as well as general health status and quality of life. The trial will last for up to 40 weeks. There will be up to 15 visits, 3 of which will be conducted by phone. The first part of the trial is called a screening period and will last up to 4 weeks. For the first 16 weeks after screening, trial participants will receive either tralokinumab or dummy injections every two weeks. After the first 16 weeks, all trial participants will receive tralokinumab injections every two weeks for 16 weeks. The last part of the trial is a period of 4 weeks after the end of treatment period, where trial participants are off the drug for safety follow-up.

The changing food environment, with increasingly abundant ultra-processed food (UPF) options, may directly contribute to rising rates of obesity, though it is unknown which ingredients in UPF elevate their reinforcing nature in a way that may lead to overconsumption. The proposed study is the first to systematically examine differences in the rewarding characteristics of and physiological and metabolic responses to UPFs that are high in fat, refined carbohydrates (like sugar), or both. Understanding the biobehavioral underpinnings that enhance the reinforcing potential of ingredients in UPF (e.g., fat vs. refined carbohydrates) can inform novel intervention targets for the treatment of overeating and obesity.

CBD for Opioid Use Disorder

New York, New York
The investigators propose an imaging study to investigate the neurobiological effects of CBD (vs placebo) in participants with opioid use disorder who are maintained on methadone. The purpose of the study is to determine the neural circuits and transmitters associated with the effects of CBD on to reduce craving and anxiety. The neuroimaging will be conducted in participants immediately following their first administration of CBD (800mg or placebo) and one week after the last administration (3 daily doses). This CBD administration protocol was shown in previous studies by the investigators to reduce craving and anxiety in abstinent heroin users.

This is a double-blind, randomized phase 3 multicenter placebo-controlled study in at least 16 evaluable male participants diagnosed with MCT8 deficiency. Male participants, from 4 years of age (at randomization) and having demonstrated stable maintenance treatment with tiratricol, will be randomized to receive placebo or tiratricol for 30 days or until reaching rescue criterion (serum total triiodothyronine \[T3\] \> upper limit of normal \[ULN\] of the participant's normal range, for a sample collected during the 30-day Randomized Treatment Period). The research hypothesis to be tested is that, for participants in the placebo group, removal of tiratricol will lead to an increase of serum total T3 concentration, measured by liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS), above the ULN and requirement of rescue treatment with tiratricol, compared to those who continue to receive tiratricol.

More than 80% of childhood cancer survivors develop serious or life-threatening late effects after cancer therapy, but \<20% receive recommended survivorship care offered at cancer center survivorship clinics. In a shared care model, the investigators propose to investigate an innovative multi-level intervention consisting of: 1) patient survivorship education via telehealth with the cancer center, 2) ongoing patient-tailored education program within the electronic health record patient portal, 3) a structured interactive phone communication between the cancer center and the primary care clinic, and 4) an in-person visit with the primary care clinic for survivorship care with the goal of achieving high rates of adherence to recommended surveillance for late effects, as well as improving patient and physician knowledge and self-efficacy. If this scalable intervention demonstrates patient completion of recommended care comparable to cancer center survivorship clinics, this innovative study has the enormous potential to deliver recommended care to a larger proportion of childhood cancer survivors and reduce survivorship care disparities, while engaging p to integrate survivorship care as part of overall, lifelong health maintenance.

The overarching goal of the proposed research is to prepare an evidence-based clinical pharmacist-delivered medication adherence intervention for sustainable implementation and dissemination. Because the effectiveness of the intervention has already been demonstrated in a NIH Stage Model Stage 4 trial called STIC2IT, this study will include an NIH Stage Model Stage 5 Effectiveness-Implementation Type 3 Hybrid design, in which the primary focus is on testing different implementation methods, while secondarily observing clinical effects. The overarching hypothesis is that investigators can identify the most impactful elements of a behavioral theory-informed recruitment approach, which can be replicable across clinical settings. Accordingly, this study will perform testing of behaviorally-informed recruitment approaches in a primary care setting that serves patients from under-resourced communities. Patients will be English or Spanish speaking adults ≥18 years of age identified through the electronic health record (EHR) as having a primary care clinician at the participating practice as well as uncontrolled hypertension and suboptimal adherence to blood pressure medications based on pharmacy fill data linked to the electronic health record (EHR). The primary care clinicians of eligible patients identified through the EHR will have the opportunity to opt-out any patients they wish not to be included. Patients will then be randomized to each of the following conditions, such that there will be 8 total arms: (1) inclusion of a mailer primer (yes/no), (2) the most successful recruitment letter from a preliminary study using prospect theory (versus the control letter), and (3) intensity of the intervention outreach (up to 4 calls vs. up to 2 calls). Patients across all arms who agree to be scheduled will receive an appointment with one of the clinical pharmacists trained in the brief negotiated interviewing approach used in the STIC2IT trial. The primary outcome will be completion of a clinical pharmacist appointment within 12 weeks of randomization. Key secondary outcomes will include scheduled visit rates, no-show rates for scheduled appointments, pharmacy fill adherence to statins and blood pressure medications over the 3-month follow-up, and clinical outcomes, including blood pressure as per EHR data in the 3 months after randomization.

The purpose of this study is to compare patient adherence to blood sugar monitoring during pregnancy using two different measurement methods in pregnancies complicated by pregestational type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Pregnant patients with T2DM are at risk of having larger babies, babies with low sugar levels in the first 24 hours of life, higher rates of cesarean delivery, stillbirth (death of baby inside the womb), and hypertensive or high blood pressure disorders of pregnancy, such as preeclampsia. Prior studies have shown that treating high blood sugars in pregnancy with medications can reduce these risks. To determine the amount of medication needed, recording of blood sugar levels is necessary. This trial aims to determine whether continuous blood sugar monitors have improved patient recording of blood sugar levels over finger stick blood sugar measurements. Patients involved in the study will be assigned to either: 1. Fingerstick glucose monitoring (FSG) 2. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) Patients will be randomize in a 1:1 ratio. FSG Group: blood sugar is tested four times daily - once fasting and two hours after every meal (post-prandial). Blood will be tested using a glucometer, and values will be recorded in a blood sugar log from the time of enrollment to the time of delivery. CGM Group: A CGM sensor will be placed on the patient's arm for blood sugar collection every 3-5 minutes. This data is sent to a phone application from the time of enrollment to the time of delivery. These sensors will need to be replaced every 14 days. Percent adherence will be recorded from the time you were randomized to a study group until delivery.

The purpose of this study is to compare two types of therapy for caregivers of cancer patients: Emotion Regulation Therapy for Cancer Caregivers (ERT-C) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT-C). The researchers want to see if ERT-C is better than, the same as, or worse than traditional CBT-C at improving caregiver distress. The researchers will look at how the two types of therapy affect caregivers' anxiety, depression, and quality of life. The researchers will also see how ERT-C and CBT-C affect hormone and stress levels in caregivers' saliva samples. In addition, this trial will enroll cancer patients in this study to see how their caregivers' participation in ERT-C or CBT may affect the patients' quality of life, stress, and use of healthcare services. Participants who become bereaved while on study will be given the option to withdraw or remain on study. Assessments for bereaved caregivers will not include the Caregiver Quality of Life Index-Cancer (CQOLC) or the Caregiver Reaction Assessment (CRA).

Buprenorphine for Opioid Use Disorder

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if buprenorphine can be started for opioid use disorder with fentanyl use without requiring or precipitating opioid withdrawal. To be eligible, participants must have moderate or severe opioid use disorder and must have fentanyl detected on a urine drug test. Participants will be admitted to a monitored research unit for the trial. They will be randomized to start buprenorphine with either standard initiation or with a new approach called rapid outpatient low-dose initiation (ROLDI). For standard initiation, participants will be instructed to arrive to the unit with at least 8 hours since last fentanyl use. Once they have at least moderately severe opioid withdrawal (Clinical Opiate Withdrawal Scale \[COWS\] 11 or higher), participants will receive 2 mg, 2 mg, 4 mg, and then 8 mg sublingual buprenorphine, with doses every 2 hours. They will then continue 8 mg twice daily (or up to three times daily). This is the current standard of care. For ROLDI, participants will not be required to have a period abstinence, they will have no or minimal withdrawal (COWS 4 or less) when starting buprenorphine, and participants will take 0.5 mg, 0.5 mg, 1 mg, 1 mg, 1 mg, and then 4 mg sublingual buprenorphine with dosing every two hours. They will then continue 8mg twice daily (or up to three times daily). The main aim of this clinical trial is to assess whether ROLDI is safe, feasible, acceptable to patients, and worthwhile to study in a larger trial. The secondary aim is to describe fentanyl and norfentanyl pharmacokinetics (that is to say, fentanyl and norfentanyl concentration in blood and urine) during early abstinence to understand why some people using fentanyl develop precipitated withdrawal with standard initiation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Adhd clinical trials in New Jersey 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 Adhd clinical trials in New Jersey 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 Adhd trials in New Jersey 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 in New Jersey for Adhd 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 in New Jersey 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 Adhd medical study in New Jersey?

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 Adhd clinical trials in New Jersey?

Most recently, we added TA Intervention for Overdose Prevention, Tailored Program for Cancer and Opioid Tapering for Opiate Dependence to the Power online platform.

How to manage ADHD without Adderall?

Think of ADHD care without Adderall as three pillars: 1) proven skills training such as cognitive-behavioral therapy or parent/teacher coaching, which meta-analyses show can meaningfully cut inattentive and impulsive symptoms; 2) daily habits that boost brain chemicals—consistent aerobic exercise, 7-9 hours of sleep, and a balanced, low-sugar diet—each backed by research to modestly improve focus; 3) targeted add-ons (omega-3 fish-oil supplements, mindfulness practice, or professionally guided neurofeedback) that have small but credible benefits for some people. Work with a clinician to combine, test, and adjust these pieces every few months so you know what is actually helping and can add non-stimulant medicines later if needed.

Are we over diagnosing ADHD?

Rates of ADHD diagnosis have climbed, and studies confirm that some children—especially the youngest in a class or from more advantaged families—get the label and medication they may not truly need. At the same time, girls, adults, and many minorities with real symptoms are often missed, so the issue is less “too much” diagnosis overall and more “diagnosis in the wrong people.” Asking for a full evaluation that checks symptoms in several settings and rules out sleep, mood, or learning problems is the best safeguard against both mistakes.

What is the latest research on ADHD?

Recent work is mapping ADHD on two fronts: cause and treatment. On the biology side, a 2023 genome-wide study involving >40 000 people pinpointed 30+ gene regions, MRI scans show disrupted communication between attention- and reward-circuits, and several studies find distinct gut-bacteria patterns in both kids and adults—together suggesting ADHD arises from a mix of genes, brain-network wiring and (still-early) gut influences. Translating this, clinicians now have newer options beyond classic stimulants—FDA-approved viloxazine XR, long-acting patches, the prescription video-game EndeavorRx, and small but promising trials of neurofeedback and cognitive training—so ask your doctor about standard medications plus these emerging tools that may soon allow more personalized care.

Does Johnny Depp have ADHD?

There is no credible public record—interview, court document, or medical statement—showing that Johnny Depp has been formally diagnosed with ADHD; the claim stems from unsourced online lists that repeat each other. Until Depp or a qualified clinician confirms otherwise, any statement that he “has ADHD” should be treated as unverified speculation; if you need information about ADHD, rely on a licensed health professional, not celebrity rumors.

What is the 80 20 rule ADHD?

For someone with ADHD, the 80/20 rule means spotting the 20 % of tasks or habits that create about 80 % of your desired results—then protecting time and attention to do those first, ideally when your medication or energy is at its peak. This cuts overwhelm because you give yourself permission to ignore low-impact busywork and instead break the high-impact tasks into small, doable steps (using timers, alerts, or an accountability partner). Think of it as a focusing lens, not a cure; pair it with your regular ADHD treatments and adjust the “vital 20 %” as your goals change.

Is ADHD a disability?

Yes—ADHD is treated as a disability when the symptoms are strong enough to “substantially limit” everyday activities like focusing, learning, or working, which is exactly how U.S. laws such as the ADA, Section 504, and Social Security define disability. A diagnosis alone isn’t enough; you need documentation that the condition is causing real-world problems, after which schools, employers, or benefit programs must consider reasonable supports (extra time, quiet workspace, flexible scheduling, etc.). If you think ADHD is holding you back, gather medical records and examples of how it affects your tasks and formally ask for accommodations or benefits under the relevant program.

What makes ADHD people happy?

Studies show that people with ADHD feel happiest when four things line up: (1) their core symptoms are tamed with medication and/or ADHD-specific therapy, (2) predictable routines, reminders, exercise, and good sleep cut daily chaos, (3) they spend real time in activities that match their high interests and creativity, and (4) they’re surrounded by family, friends, or support groups that understand ADHD rather than shame it. Put simply: treat the symptoms, externalize organization, lean into your passions, and stay connected to people who “get” you—those combined levers consistently raise quality-of-life scores for both kids and adults with ADHD.

How much weight did you lose on ADHD medication?

Weight loss on stimulant ADHD medicines is usually modest and highly individual—clinical trials show average drops of about 3–5 lb (1–2 kg) in the first month and roughly 6–10 lb (3–4 kg) over the first 3–6 months, with only one-third of people losing more than 5 % of their starting weight before the effect levels off. Weigh yourself (or your child) weekly; if you see more than a 10 % fall from baseline or a slowdown in growth, talk with the prescriber about dose timing, nutrition strategies, or switching to a non-stimulant option.

What makes ADHD worse in adults?

Anything that further strains the brain’s self-regulation system can flare adult ADHD: lack of sleep or exercise, chronic stress, unmanaged anxiety/depression, inconsistent medication or substance use, hormonal shifts, and chaotic, screen-heavy environments. Focus on the controllables—protect 7-9 h of sleep, move daily, eat regular balanced meals, keep spaces and schedules simple, treat co-existing mood issues, and take medication exactly as prescribed—then review persisting problems with your clinician.

Is there still ADHD med shortage?

Yes—into 2024 many pharmacies still report spot shortages of popular stimulant ADHD medicines, especially immediate-release Adderall, several methylphenidate/Concerta generics, and some Vyvanse doses, because factory slow-downs and federally capped production haven’t kept up with rising prescriptions. Availability varies week-to-week and by location, so call a few pharmacies early, ask if a different strength or brand is in stock, and have your prescriber ready to adjust the prescription or discuss a short-term non-stimulant alternative if needed.
