Methylphenidate for ADHD

Cincinnati, Ohio
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is the most commonly diagnosed neurobehavioral disorder in childhood. Children with ADHD struggle in school due to problems with attention and high levels of impulsivity and hyperactivity. They are at substantially increased risk for long-term difficulties into adulthood, including academic underachievement, substance abuse, and criminal behavior. The diagnosis of ADHD, which is based on subjective ratings by parents and teachers, likely results from multiple different, overlapping differences in circuits of the brain responsible for attention and impulse control. However, we do not have any scientific or clinical tests that allow us to understand these circuits. In an effort to improve ADHD outcomes, we have used a technology called Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) to identify highly reliable measurements of brain function. We have identified two very promising measures that are abnormal in children with ADHD and, importantly, also predict the severity of ADHD behaviors. The goal of this project is to determine if these two TMS measurements could be used to help better guide ADHD treatment. To do this, we will perform three investigations in 8 to 12 year old children to determine: 1) test-retest reliability; 2) pharmacologic responsiveness; and 3) correlations with two domains of function relevant to ADHD: "Cognitive Control" and "Emotional Valence." Through these investigations, we aim to determine whether these two TMS brain measures are reliable and meaningful enough to be used to help improve precision of individually-targeted and effective ADHD treatments.

TMS for ADHD

Cincinnati, Ohio
ADHD children have abnormal inhibitory control, meaning they have trouble stopping themselves from doing something they should not do. This ability to control involves an area in the brain called the pre-supplementary motor area (pre-SMA). Scientists have previously shown that the pre-SMA is abnormal in ADHD patients. In this study, we will use Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) to stimulate the pre-SMA and determine the effects on measures that are related to inhibitory control.

The primary goal of the project is to test personalized medication experiments to inform decisions about future medication use. Our central hypothesis is that our intervention will lead to within subject increases in adolescent involvement in decision making and decreases in uncertainty about future medication use. The investigators view this open label trial as a pilot study to test the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of the medication experiment intervention and therefore warrants further testing in a future larger trial.

ADHD is the most common pediatric neurodevelopmental disorder and is associated with significant long-term impairments. Current guidelines recommend stimulant medication and/or behavioral therapy as first-line treatments for ADHD. Despite evidence that consistent treatment is important for effectively managing ADHD symptoms, treatment adherence remains suboptimal and is especially problematic among minority children. Hypothesized reasons for racial/ethnic disparities in ADHD treatment include uncertainties about medication efficacy and side effects, distrust of the health care system, and decreased access to mental health services. This study aims to develop and test the I2-ART intervention to improve treatment adherence in minority (Latinx and African American) children with ADHD. The proposed study involves three ORBIT phases: During phase 1a, the investigators will conduct focus groups with key stakeholders (i.e., caregivers, clinicians, and family navigators, n=24) to identify and develop I2-ART's basic elements. Next, during phase 1b, the investigators will train four family navigators to implement I2-ART with caregivers of treatment-naïve children with ADHD (n=8-12) in order to determine feasibility and acceptability. In phase 2, the investigators will use phase 1b findings to modify I2-ART as needed, and then will evaluate the preliminary efficacy of the revised I2-ART (n=40), compared to the "usual care" control condition (n=20), on ADHD treatment adherence. The preliminary data collected during the proposed study will inform a subsequent R01 randomized controlled trial to examine I2-ART efficacy.

Tai Chi for ADHD in Children

Baltimore, Maryland
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) has tremendous individual and societal impact, and the effectiveness of current standard treatments is limited. Thus, there are potential public health benefits for novel behavioral training programs that could remediate the core features of ADHD and contribute to sustained improvements in behavioral control. There is mounting evidence that children with ADHD show difficulties with motor control, and that these motor deficits are strongly associated with the core behavioral features of ADHD. Based on this information, the CNIR initiated a feasibility trial of a movement-based intervention, utilizing Tai Chi practice, targeting improved behavioral control through engagement of the motor system and results are highly promising. The investigators therefore will employ an extension of our ongoing Tai Chi programs for children with ADHD, beginning with children who have already completed one of the previous Tai Chi sessions. This program will provide the basis for studying the long-term effects of mindful movement, as well as creating a foundation for exploring the way that such interventions can be expanded into a more realistic support setting for the community. Hypothesis: After participating in the ongoing Tai Chi program, children with ADHD will show improvements in behavioral measures of motor, cognitive, and attentional control. The investigators further expect movement-based training will result in decreases in ADHD symptom severity.

Children with Down syndrome (DS) have a 3-5 time greater prevalence of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) than typically developing (TD) children. Despite this higher risk of ADHD, rates of stimulant medication treatment are disproportionately low in children with DS+ADHD, even though stimulants are the most efficacious ADHD treatment and are recommended by consensus guidelines for use in children with intellectual disability and ADHD. The investigators propose the first randomized clinical trial (RCT) of stimulant medication in children with DS+ADHD. This RCT may provide evidence regarding the short- and long-term safety and efficacy of stimulant use in children with DS+ADHD, both with and without CHD. All children enrolled in the study will complete a comprehensive assessment battery evaluating ADHD diagnostic criteria, as well as behavioral, cognitive, academic, and functional impairments.

This study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover trial of extended-release liquid methylphenidate (XRMPH) to evaluate the sensitivity of the NIH Toolbox Cognition Battery (NIHTB-CB) to changes in cognition in children and adolescents ages 6 to 17 with intellectual disability (D) and comorbid Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The sample will include 68 males or females (expected male: female ratio of 1.8:1 with ID and ADHD as determined by structured diagnostic interview and Conners 3 scores. Additional inclusion criteria will include Full Scale IQ above 50 and mental age greater than or equal to 3 years. In addition, participants must be able to complete NIHTB-CB testing and provide valid scores at baseline. After baseline testing, participants will then be randomized to drug or placebo in a 1:1 ratio (N=34 per group) at the end of the baseline visit. XRMPH in oral suspension supplied as Quillivant XR in 5 mg/ml (Tris Pharma, Monmouth Junction, NJ) will be the active treatment. The XRMPH or matching placebo will be started at a dose of 0.3 mg/kg/day and individually titrated over two weeks. Phone calls at the end of weeks 1, 2, and 3 will be used to collect adverse event and response data. If there is no evidence of side effects and ongoing symptoms of ADHD, the dose will be increased to 0.5 mg/kg/day at one week and 0.7 mg/kg/day at 2 weeks (maximum dose of 60 mg per day consistent with FDA labeled use in youth). The Clinical Global Impression (CGI) will be used as a guide to define optimal dose. If side effects occur the dose will be reduced to the dose level at which there were no side effects. Final optimal dose will be established by the end of week 3 and this will be maintained for 2 weeks until 5 weeks post randomization, at which time the follow-up parent and teacher Conners scales, NIHTB-CB, Go/No-Go, and PedsQL will be completed. Participants will have a washout period of 1 week, will then complete re-assessment at the second baseline, and then will cross over to the other treatment (Quillivant to placebo; placebo to Quillivant), also in a double-blind fashion. In the second treatment arm, patients will have the same titration, monitoring and treatment periods as in the first arm, again followed by repeated assessments at the conclusion of 5 weeks. The accrual of participants and number of visits is shown in the Timeline per 6-month period.

Sleep disturbances are pervasive and impairing among children who spend time in foster care but not a single prevention or intervention program for this fragile group targets sleep health. Poor sleep undermines effective self-regulation and stable biological rhythms, amplifying the negative impacts of early adversity/trauma on immediate and long-term functioning. Consistent with evidence that optimizing sleep is critical for trauma recovery, the investigators will adapt cognitive-behavioral treatment for pediatric insomnia for children placed in or adopted from foster care to evaluate child outcomes and target mechanism engagement and explore implementation barriers and supports.

CNS Stimulants for ADHD

Hershey, Pennsylvania
Impulsive Aggression and chronic irritability (IACI) often occur together and are one of the most common reasons children present for behavioral health (BH) care. ADHD frequently associated with IACI as upwards of 50% of youth with ADHD manifest impairing IACI levels. IACI is the most common reason that children with ADHD are prescribed antipsychotics and admitted to inpatient BH units. Systematic dose optimization of CNS stimulants improves levels of IACI, reducing the need for these more intensive and burdensome treatments. However, response varies, with over half of children with ADHD showing meaningful improvement, upwards of 40% receiving minimal benefit and 3 to 10% exhibiting increased IACI levels. Symptom levels of ADHD or IACI and other demographic variables are of limited utility for predicting response, suggesting the need to move beyond symptoms in the search for treatment predictors. Youth with ADHD and IACI struggle with multiple aspects reinforcement learning (RL), defined as learning from interactions with the environment to reach a goal. Successful RL efforts tap multiple cognitive functions. In controlled laboratory tasks, youth with IACI and various BH disorders exhibit excessive behavioral and neural response to receiving reward (reward responsiveness), difficulty processing environmental cues to adapt behavior to meet a goal (set shifting/goal updating) and impaired ability to flexibly attend to relevant stimuli when blocked from a goal (frustrative nonreward). Event related potentials (ERP) are small electrical responses in the brain in response to specific events or stimuli measured by electroencephalogram (EEG) testing. ERPs exist that can serve as established neural measures of each of these cognitive functions offering a child friendly means to assess their contribution to observable levels of IACI. CNS stimulants improve functioning in these specific realms and impact associated ERPs to the degree that differences between ADHD and non-ADHD youth disappear. This study will examine the capacity of these ERPs to predict levels of IACI exhibited by children with ADHD when at home. Investigators will then assess if variability across children in the capacity of CNS stimulants to impact RL associated ERPs accounts for differences in the clinical effects of CNS stimulant medications to improve IACI at home using a multimethod battery integrating ERPs, parent report and task performance. Specifically, investigators will examine variance in the reward positivity (RewP) ERP when receiving reward feedback, the switch positivity (SwP) ERP measuring mental effort when cued to shift set and the change in P3b amplitude measuring attention allocation when transitioning from reward to nonreward on a go-no-go task. To achieve these aims, 136 children with ADHD and elevated IACI levels will have their CNS stimulant dose optimized over six weeks and then complete a two week within subjects crossover trial of placebo versus optimal dose. ERP collection will be completed within each blinded week. Parent ratings will be gathered 3 times per day including during peak and off-peak times of medication efficacy to capture the variance in IACI levels within the day and disentangle reports of worsening IACI related to loss of previously beneficial medication effects versus those most likely related to a direct adverse response to medication.

After an episode of facial paralysis, as nerves recover, they aberrantly regenerate and send additional branches to the incorrect muscles in addition to the intended muscle. This leads to what is known as Aberrant Regeneration Syndrome, Post-paralysis Synkinesis, or Nonflaccid Facial Paralysis. It is characterized by poor facial symmetry and function, hypertonic facial muscles at rest, and abnormal facial movements. One sequela is acquired blepharoptosis causing a smaller ocular aperture, visual field obstruction, cosmetic deformity, and abnormal periocular spasms. This study aims to evaluate an FDA approved medication for acquired blepharoptosis due to synkinesis/hyperkinesis as an adjunct to treatment.

This study is designed to test the effectiveness and implementation of an early intervention therapy for children and their primary caregivers by using existing school counselors across several school districts. The intervention is a 6-8 week caregiver-child intervention (THRIVE) which will be conducted via video conference in the family's home (i.e., zoom), or within the school setting (or a combination of those 2 modalities depending upon feasibility for the family). THRIVE will be compared to an asynchronous on-line parenting education program, Parenting Wisely (PW). This online parenting course will be accessed at www.parentingwisely.com. Existing school counselors will be trained in the delivery of THRIVE to 3-7 year old children (in preschool, kindergarten and first grade) and their primary caregivers. In addition to testing the effectiveness of THRIVE compared to PW, we will also compare two implementation strategies: THRIVE-Coached and THRIVE-Low Coached (LC). We will assess ongoing coaching of THRIVE trainees to increase therapist efficacy and adherence to the intervention (THRIVE-Coached). This will be compared to implementation of THRIVE with low supports (e.g. weekly supervision) provided only for the first case following the initial training (THRIVE-LC\]. Compared to those randomized to PW, we expect children who receive THRIVE will have significantly better behavioral and socio-emotional outcomes. Caregivers who receive THRIVE will experience less parenting stress and depression, more optimism and will show more nurturing, emotional tolerance, and supportive caregiving. Therapists in the THRIVE-Coached condition will deliver the intervention with higher achieved outcomes and find the intervention to be more acceptable than therapists in the THRIVE-LC condition. Therapists in the THRIVE-Coached condition will be more likely to plan to sustain the intervention following the completion of the study than those in the THRIVE-LC condition. Parents and children receiving THRIVE from therapists in the THRIVE-Coached condition will have better socio-emotional outcomes than those in the THRIVE-LC and PW conditions.

The US is currently going through an opioid crisis, and while Medication Assisted Treatments such as buprenorphine (BUP) have proved highly effective at stabilizing the neurobiology underlying acute withdrawal, they have been less effective at preventing longer-term relapse and adherence. This may be due to the fact that they do not fully engage the neural processes sub-serving the emotional control of sensitized negative mood and reward sensitivity during stress- and opioid-cue provocation, respectively. In contrast while the alpha2 agonist, guanfacine, may attenuate stress-provoked opioid craving by mediating top-down prefrontal control over sensitized dysphoria, the behavioral intervention, Mindfulness Oriented Recovery Enhancement (MORE) may reduce opioid cue-provoked craving by mediating top-down prefrontal control over hedonic dysregulation. Furthermore, while both interventions separately may prove effective as longer-term adjunctive therapies, they may offer greater efficacy together, providing a unique medication/behavioral combination able to target both stress and reward provocation mechanisms. To optimally test this hypothesis, a staged approach is proposed to first confirm the efficacy of both GXR and MORE, independently and combined (R61), prior to elucidating underlying neural mechanisms (R33). Using a 2 X 2 design, N=80 OUD individuals on BUP will be randomized to either 6-weeks of Guanfacine extended release (GXR; 3mgs, n=40) or placebo (PBO; n=40). Half of all participants in each group will then receive either weekly MORE, or a Support Group (SG) control, creating four intervention groups (Control Grp: PBO+SG, n=20); (GXR Grp: GXR+SG, n=20); (MORE Grp: PBO+ MORE, n=20); (Combined Grp: GXR+MORE, n=20). A pre- and post-laboratory study will be conducted before and after six weeks of intervention where participants will be randomly exposed to 3 personalized guided imageries (stress, opioid cue, neutral). Subjective measures of opioid craving, anxiety, mood, stress, emotional reappraisal, and heart rate will be collected before and after imagery exposure. Following milestone completion, an identical design is proposed in N=144 individuals, where participants will be exposed to imageries in the MRI scanner (R33). On the basis of prior research, it is hypothesized in that GXR will attenuate opioid craving and improve emotion regulation during stress, while MORE will demonstrate the same effects during opioid cue exposure. Combined GXR and MORE will also demonstrate additive or synergistic improvements compared with each intervention alone (R61). The effects of GXR on opioid cue- and MORE on stress-provoked opioid seeking will be explored. In the R33 component, it is hypothesized that GXR will improve regulatory and affective brain function during stress, and MORE will improve regulatory and reward function during opioid cue exposure. Combined GXR and MORE may improve regulatory function in an additive or synergistic manner (R33). Findings will help elucidate the efficacy and neural mechanisms underpinning a novel integrated pharmaco-behavioral therapy for OUD individuals maintained on BUP.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) clinical trials in Miami, FL 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 Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) clinical trials in Miami, FL 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 Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) trials in Miami, FL 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 Miami, FL for Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (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 Miami, FL 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 Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) medical study in Miami, FL?

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 Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) clinical trials in Miami, FL?

Most recently, we added CNS Stimulants for ADHD, Caregiver Strategies for ADHD and Atomoxetine for PTSD to the Power online platform.
