Boston, Massachusetts
The overall objective of this proposal is to test version 3.0 of the Arthritis smartphone app in a 12-month interrupted time series analysis (ITSA) design which will allow us to observe possible differences in visit frequency between the pre-and post-intervention periods as well as between the concurrent control group and those who receive the app. Our central hypothesis is that introduction of the app will reduce visit numbers per month in the group receiving the app, compared with a concurrent control group.

Mobile App for Rheumatoid Arthritis
Boston, Massachusetts
The overall objective of this proposal is to implement a smart phone application (app) + population management system to monitor rheumatoid arthritis (RA) disease activity between scheduled physician office visits. The population management system includes: 1) a web-based dashboard that consolidates incoming patient-reported data using pre-programmed algorithms to identify increases in disease activity, and 2) the population manager, a trained individual who monitors the web-based dashboard and connects patients with their healthcare providers (HCPs). The investigators central hypothesis is that the combined smart phone app + population management system will improve patient satisfaction and management of RA disease activity.

Vagus Nerve Stimulation for Rheumatoid Arthritis
Boston, Massachusetts
The RESET-RA study will assess the safety and efficacy of the SetPoint System (study device) for the treatment of adult patients with active, moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis who have had an inadequate response or intolerance to biologic or targeted synthetic Disease-Modifying Anti-Rheumatic Drugs (DMARDs). The study device contains a miniaturized stimulator (implant) that is surgically placed under general anesthesia on the vagus nerve through a small incision on the left side of the neck (implant procedure). The study will enroll up to 250 subjects at up to 45 sites. All eligible subjects will undergo the implant procedure. Half of the subjects will receive active stimulation (treatment) and the other half will receive non-active stimulation (control). After completing primary endpoint assessments at Week 12, there will be a one-way crossover of control subjects to active stimulation and a 252-week open-label follow-up with all subjects (treatment and control) receiving active stimulation to evaluate long-term safety.

Why Other Patients Applied
"I’m allergic to so many standard arthritis drugs, so I've been researching some of the newest ones still in the research phase. I'm hoping to find out if I'd be a good match—it would be great to find something that works (and, if not, at least contribute to the cause)."

"I have been struggling with severe knee pain since my service in the military. I am only 52! I miss doing the things I used to do."
NA

"I’ve tried several meds without too much relief. Injections only work on my right knee but not much on the left knee. My pain is nearly unbearable at this point. Hoping to learn about what promising drugs exist in trials."
YV
Arthritis PatientAge: 61
"My orthopedist recommended a half replacement of my right knee. I have had both hips replaced. Currently have arthritis in knee, shoulder, and thumb. I want to avoid surgery, and I'm open-minded about trying a trial before using surgery as a last resort."
HZ
Arthritis PatientAge: 78
"I've been 17+ years in pain with bilateral osteoarthritis. PRP and HA injections have not helped. Physical therapy has helped only to a certain degree. I'm looking for new treatment options before considering replacement. "

High-Dose Exercise for Concussion Recovery
Cambridge, Massachusetts
Aerobic exercise has emerged as an effective treatment to reduce sport-related concussion symptom severity, yet existing work lacks rigor regarding the precise exercise volume and intensity required to elicit therapeutic effects, how exercise can alter concussion-related pathophysiology, and whether exercise can prevent the development of secondary sequelae. Our objective is to examine if a high dose exercise program (higher volume than currently prescribed at an individualized, safe intensity level) initiated within 14 days of concussion results in faster symptom resolution, altered physiological function, or reduced secondary sequalae. Findings from this research will lead to more rigorous and precise rehabilitation guidelines and improved understanding about how exercise affects neurophysiological function among adolescents with concussion.

Supportive Care for Arthritis
Boston, Massachusetts
Social determinants of health (SDoH), defined by the World Health Organization as "the conditions in which people are born, grow, work, live and age and the wider set of forces and systems shaping the conditions of daily life" are estimated to be responsible for nearly 90 percent of a person's health outcomes. SDoH are key contributors to racial, ethnic and socioeconomic disparities in care healthcare access and health outcomes. The goal of this clinical trial is to identify patients with inflammatory arthritis or with a systemic rheumatic condition with arthritis who may respond to the simplest and least expensive intervention to address their SDoH-related needs- a tailored list of resources, those who benefit from a community-based resource specialist to help address specific needs, and those who require a nurse-trained navigator to help both coordinate the services provided by the community-based specialist, and their medical and mental health care and needs. The main questions the clinical trial aims to answer are:
1. To test the efficacy of a rheumatology clinic-based nurse navigator and community resource specialist to reduce appointment no-shows and same-day cancellations in patients with systemic rheumatic conditions with arthritis.
2. To examine the cost-effectiveness of each of the different study interventions for individuals with systemic rheumatic conditions with arthritis with SDoH-related needs using questionnaires and cost-related care metrics.
Participants will be randomly assigned to 1 of 3 arms. In Arm 1, patients will receive a cultivated list of resources related to the needs that patients indicate on the social determinants of health questionnaire. Arm 1 is the control arm which receives the current standard of care. In Arm 2, patients will receive the assistance of a community resource specialist (CRS) - an individual without formal medical training with community-based expertise. In Arm 3, patients will receive the assistance of a nurse patient navigator with additional systemic rheumatic condition-specific training who will work with the CRS.
After 6 months, patients who do not respond to Arm 1 will move to Arm 2. Patients who do not respond to Arm 2, will move to Arm 3. Patients who do not respond to Arm 3 will remain in Arm 3. Patients who respond to any arm will graduate the program at 6 months. The patients who do not respond be in their new arm for 6 months. At 12 months, all patients remaining in the study will graduate.

Vitamin D + Fish Oil for Health Improvement
Boston, Massachusetts
The VITamin D and OmegA-3 TriaL (VITAL; NCT 01169259) is a randomized clinical trial in 25,871 U.S. men and women investigating whether taking daily dietary supplements of vitamin D3 (2000 IU) or omega-3 fatty acids (Omacor® fish oil, 1 gram) reduces the risk of developing cancer, heart disease, and stroke in people who do not have a prior history of these illnesses. This ancillary study is being conducted among VITAL participants and will examine whether vitamin D or fish oil have effects upon A) autoimmune disease incidence, B) biomarkers of systemic inflammation, and C) chronic knee pain. Blood samples at baseline and in follow-up will be collected in a randomly selected subcohort of 1500 individuals and analyzed for changes in biomarkers of systemic inflammation: C-reactive protein, interleukin-6, and tumor necrosis factor-receptor 2. Approximately 1300 individuals with chronic, frequent knee pain will be followed with annual questionnaires to evaluate the effects of the supplements on chronic knee pain.
