      ABBV-932 for Generalized Anxiety Disorder

      St Louis, Missouri
      Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is usually treated with antidepressant therapy (ADT); however, sometimes ADTs alone are not enough to adequately treat GAD. The purpose of this study is to assess how safe and effective ABBV-932 is when added to the antidepressant therapies in adult participants with GAD who have had an inadequate response ADTs. ABBV-932 is an investigational drug being developed for the adjunctive treatment of GAD. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive ABBV-932 or Placebo in addition to their currently prescribed ADTs. There is 1 in 3 chance of participants assigned to Placebo. Approximately 315 adult participants with GAD and inadequate response to ADTs will be enrolled in approximately 50 sites in the United States and Puerto Rico. Participants will receive oral capsules of ABBV-932 or matching placebo in addition to their prescribed ADT for 6 weeks and then will be followed for an additional 4 week follow-up period. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.

      Why Other Patients Applied

      JF

      "Sertraline has only been somewhat helpful for managing my anxiety. I tried prescribed benzodiazepines in the past, but I didn't like the side effects (drowsiness, some memory loss). I'm hoping I'll benefit from this trial."

      AT
      Anxiety PatientAge: 34

      "I want to try a trial because I've been on numerous, numerous different drugs for my anxiety. It's been almost 4 years since I've been on any medications. But I've noticed a gradual and steady increase in my symptoms. I just want some relief and to start to see the good things that life has to offer."

      Frequently Asked Questions

      How much do Anxiety clinical trials in Missouri 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 Anxiety clinical trials in Missouri 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 Anxiety trials in Missouri 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 Missouri for Anxiety 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 Missouri 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 Anxiety medical study in Missouri?

      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 Anxiety clinical trials in Missouri?

      Most recently, we added VQW-765 for Social Anxiety Disorder, SPT-300 for Depression and Educational Video for Breast Cancer Surgery Patients to the Power online platform.

      What do the "Power Preferred" and "SuperSite" badges mean?

      We recognize research clinics with these awards when they are especially responsive to patients who apply through the Power online platform. SuperSite clinics are research sites recognized for a high standard of rapid and thorough follow-up with patient applicants. Meanwhile, Power Preferred clinics are the top 20 across the entire Power platform, recognized for their absolute top patient experience.

      Which clinics have received Power Preferred and SuperSite awards recruiting for Anxiety trials in Missouri?

      The Anxiety clinics in Missouri currently recognized as SuperSites are: Preferred Research Partners, Fayetteville in Fayetteville, Arkansas

      What is the best fix for anxiety?

      There isn’t one magic “fix” for anxiety, but studies show that most people improve with either cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) and/or daily medication such as an SSRI or SNRI, chosen together with a qualified clinician. Adding regular exercise, mindfulness or breathing practice, good sleep and limiting caffeine or alcohol can boost results, so think of treatment as a toolbox—start with proven professional help (therapy and possibly medicine) and layer the healthy habits on top for longer-term control.

      What does 333 mean for anxiety?

      “333” is a fast grounding trick for sudden anxiety: look around and name three things you see, notice three sounds, then deliberately move three body parts (for example, roll your shoulders, wiggle your toes, stretch your fingers). Focusing on simple sights, sounds, and movements pulls your attention out of racing thoughts and signals your nervous system that you’re safe, which can ease the physical surge of anxiety for a few moments. Use it as a quick reset; if anxiety keeps returning or interferes with daily life, add longer-term strategies like CBT, exercise, or speaking with a healthcare professional.

      Do anxiety bracelets really work?

      Bracelets made of magnets, copper, crystals, or “negative ions” have not been proven to calm anxiety, but a band can still help if you use it as a cue to do something that does work—e.g., press an acupressure point, follow a paced-breathing vibration, or ground yourself with a quick mindfulness check (small studies of these techniques show temporary relief). In other words, the bracelet is a prompt, not the treatment; for lasting improvement pair that prompt with evidence-based care such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, relaxation training, or medication discussed with a healthcare professional.

      Does gabapentin treat anxiety?

      Gabapentin isn’t FDA-approved for any anxiety disorder, but doctors sometimes prescribe it “off-label” when standard options (talk therapy, SSRIs/SNRIs, or—short term—benzodiazepines) haven’t worked or can’t be used. Small studies suggest it can ease social or short-term situational anxiety at doses of about 900–2,400 mg a day, yet the evidence is modest and it can cause sleepiness, dizziness, and withdrawal if stopped abruptly. If you’re considering it, discuss with your clinician how its uncertain benefits, side-effects, and need for slow tapering stack up against better-studied treatments and non-drug approaches like cognitive-behavioral therapy.

      What is the FDA approved device for anxiety?

      Strictly speaking, the FDA has not “approved” any device just for anxiety; rather, it has cleared several prescription-only cranial electrotherapy stimulators (CES) through its 510-k process—including Alpha-Stim AID, Fisher-Wallace Stimulator, and Cervella—for short-term relief of anxiety (often along with insomnia or depression). These devices send a very mild electrical current through clips on the earlobes for about 20–60 minutes a day over several weeks, and their use should be discussed with a healthcare professional to be sure they’re safe and appropriate for you.

      What drug is used in rapid relief of anxiety?

      For symptoms that need relief within minutes to an hour, doctors usually prescribe a short-acting benzodiazepine such as lorazepam or alprazolam; these calm the nervous system quickly but can cause drowsiness and, with repeated use, dependence, so they are meant for short-term or “as-needed” use. Other fast options include the antihistamine hydroxyzine (works in ~30 min) or propranolol for one-time performance anxiety, while longer-term control is handled with medicines like SSRIs and therapy.

      What are the 4 R's of anxiety?

      Professionals usually mean one of two quick, four-step loops: 1) Recognize the anxious thought or body cue, Reassure yourself with realistic facts, Relax with slow breathing, then Refocus on your task; or 2) Relabel the thought as “just anxiety,” Re-attribute it to a misfiring alarm, Refocus on a chosen activity for a few minutes, and Re-value the thought as unimportant noise. Some wellness articles cite Rest, Relaxation, Replenish, Release, but that version is a general self-care checklist, not an in-the-moment anxiety technique.

      What is intense therapy for anxiety?

      “Intensive” therapy for anxiety is the same proven treatments (like CBT and exposure exercises) delivered in a much bigger dose—several hours a day for a short stretch—through formats such as weekend “boot-camps,” 3–5-day-a-week intensive outpatient programs, or brief residential stays. This immersive approach is used when anxiety is severe, hasn’t improved with weekly sessions, or rapid progress is needed, and studies show it can match or outperform standard once-a-week therapy. To explore it, ask your provider or insurer about clinics that offer “intensive CBT/ERP,” “IOP,” or “PHP” programs run by licensed anxiety specialists.

      Can I live a long life with anxiety?

      Yes. Large studies show that untreated, severe anxiety can slightly raise the risk of early death—mainly by increasing suicide risk and unhealthy behaviors—but the effect is small and is greatly reduced when the condition is recognized and treated. People who get evidence-based care (therapy, possible medication), stay active, avoid smoking/drugs, and keep regular medical check-ups typically live just as long as those without anxiety, so focusing on treatment and healthy routines is the key to a long life.

      What is the 5 4 3 2 1 anxiety trick?

      The 5-4-3-2-1 “grounding” trick is a rapid way to pull your mind out of racing thoughts: name five things you can see, four you can touch, three you hear, two you smell, and one you can taste, taking slow breaths as you go. Engaging each sense crowds out worry signals and anchors you in the present; repeat or shorten the list any time a panic spike or rumination hits. It’s a quick coping tool—helpful in the moment—but if anxiety is frequent or disabling, pair it with ongoing care from a mental-health professional.
