Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Substance Use Disorder (SUD) are highly comorbid, and comorbidity increases risk for poor functional outcomes. Risks for poor quality of life and suicide increase further for those with co-occurring PTSD and SUD diagnoses as compared to either condition alone, with suicide attempt rates three times higher for Veterans with alcohol use disorder and PTSD (Norman, Haller, Hamblen, Southwick \& Pietrzak, 2018). For patients with PTSD-SUD, there is evidence of greater PTSD symptom severity and poorer SUD treatment outcomes (e.g., Back et al., 2000), as well as higher rates of homelessness and disability (Bowe \& Rosenheck, 2015). PTSD-SUD treatments have shown promising reductions in PTSD and SUD symptoms (Flanagan, Korte, Killeen \& Back,2016). Yet, there are still major challenges in widely implementing concurrent or single-target gold-standard treatments for this population, especially with rural veterans where care access may be limited (e.g., Flanagan et al., 2016). Written Exposure Therapy (WET) is a front-line, brief and effective treatment for PTSD that addresses some of the challenges posed by other gold-standard treatments. This project is designed to examine the feasibility and acceptability of Written Exposure Therapy (WET) delivered to Veterans with comorbid PTSD-SUD while they are completing a 28 day-residential SUD program (DOM SUD). The preliminary effects of the treatment during the program, and at one month and 3-month follow-up periods will also be examined, with particular attention to rates of substance use, homelessness, treatment attendance, treatment completion, quality of life, suicidality, and PTSD and depression symptoms. Veterans enrolled in the residential substance use disorder clinic will be recruited for screening into the study. Those that meet criteria for PTSD will be randomized into one of two treatment arms: Treatment as Usual (TAU: DOM SUD) and Written Exposure Therapy in a residential SUD program (resWET). Those in the TAU control group will participate in the DOM SUD treatment program, while those in the resWET group will also have five individual treatment sessions of WET. Participants will complete weekly measures of symptoms, in addition to rating cravings for substance use. Treatment completion rates will also be compiled for both DOM SUD and resWET. Participants will complete pre-treatment, post-treatment, 1 month, and 3 month follow-up measures to look for important trends regarding symptom responses to treatment (e.g., PTSD, depression), as well as suicide attempts, homelessness, treatment attendance, treatment completion, substance use, and quality of life. This preliminary data will be used to inform future studies. Additionally, providers will provide feedback to provide essential information about implementation barriers that need to be addressed for the broader uptake of the treatment approach and to enhance accessibility of the treatment. All Veterans will also provide feedback about their treatment. Findings will be used to improve the treatment and assessment approach and to prepare for a larger study to evaluate resWET.

This pragmatic cluster randomized clinical trial (cRCT) aims to evaluate the comparative effectiveness (CER) of two approaches to preventing destabilization ("tipping points") that lead to unplanned hospitalization and increased disability. The cRCT compares the outcomes of patients randomized in clusters by site within four Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) networks in New York City (NYC) and Chicago to either: 1) the Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH); or 2) the Patient Centered Home plus a health coaching intervention that employs a positive affect/self-affirmation intervention to help motivate patients to succeed at implementing self-management by setting life goals (experimental). This RCT embeds novel effective interventions within large FQHC networks, namely, Community Healthcare Network and the Family Health Centers of New York University (NYU) Langone in NYC and Erie Family Health Centers and Friend Family Health Center in Chicago, serving patients with multiple chronic diseases or high comorbidity. This CER study compares two PCMH-based strategies and will provide a manualized training system that can be disseminated and implemented across the national FQHC networks, with over 9,000 delivery sites that serve nearly 25 million low-income and minority patients, and can be implemented in a wider range of practice settings, organization types and population characteristics. Among 1920 adult patients with a Charlson Comorbidity Index ≥4 who are established primary care patients of 16 Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) in NYC (8 FQHCs) and Chicago (8 FQHCs) this pragmatic cRCT aims to evaluate the effectiveness of two approaches to preventing destabilization that leads to unplanned hospitalization and increased disability. This Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) study builds on the National Patient-Centered Clinical Research Network (PCORnet) Clinical Data Research Networks (CDRNs) in NYC and Chicago. Patients will be identified via electronic health records (EHRs) and their outcomes assessed through comprehensive, longitudinal, electronic health records that are aggregated by these PCORnet CDRNs.

Rheumatoid arthritis is a disease where the immune system attacks the body by mistake, causing inflammation of the joints and other body parts. People with rheumatoid arthritis are at higher risk of infections, heart problems, and bone issues compared to others. They regularly see rheumatologists, arthritis care physicians, to manage their disease. However, managing these other health problems alongside their main treatment is difficult for rheumatologists due to limited resources. This clinical study is being conducted to see if adding a family doctor to a team of rheumatologists can help. Rheumatologists will complete a case report form about the patient's health and send them to a special family physician clinic. This clinic will focus on improving vaccination against diseases, heart health, and bone strength. They will check if patients need special vaccines to protect them from infections. They will screen for heart disease using blood pressure measurements, and order blood work for high cholesterol and diabetes if needed. They will also review bone health and send people for tests to check their bone density if needed. A change in routines and medications may be recommended after their checkup. Rheumatologists will complete another case report about the patient's health 6 months after their family doctor appointment. The study will assess how these markers of health management improve after this family doctor joins the team. It hopes to prove that this new way of working in the community will give people with rheumatoid arthritis better protection against certain infections, heart problems and weak bones.

Drug-drug interactions often limit statin optimization in a population of patients prescribed cytochrome P3A4 inhibitors, which include immunosuppressive agents, protease inhibitors, and antifungals. These patients frequently have autoimmune conditions or rheumatologic disorders that require complex drug regimens and are often on low-dose statin therapy or no statin at all, resulting in suboptimal LDL levels despite increased cardiovascular (CV) risk. There is an unmet clinical need to improve LDL levels in this vulnerable patient population, which faces increased CV risk due to underlying conditions that also contribute to polypharmacy and multiple drug-drug interactions. This study is a randomized, open-label trial evaluating subcutaneous inclisiran plus standard of care for LDL-C lowering in high-risk primary prevention patients with multiple comorbidities (e.g., Type II diabetes, liver disease, chronic kidney disease, autoimmune disease, solid-organ transplant) who are taking five or more medications in which drug-drug interactions prevent optimization of statin therapy.

"I was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer three months ago, metastatic to my liver, and I have been receiving and responding well to chemotherapy. My blood work revealed that my tumor markers have gone from 2600 in the beginning to 173 as of now, even with the delay in treatment, they are not going up. CT Scans reveal they have been shrinking as well. However, chemo is seriously deteriorating my body. I have 4 more treatments to go in this 12 treatment cycle. I am just interested in learning about my other options, if any are available to me."

Alcohol misuse is a common and disabling problem and refers to alcohol consumption that causes harm to the drinker, others, and/or greater society. Internet-delivered cognitive behaviour therapy (ICBT) shows considerable promise as a convenient treatment for alcohol misuse. The overall goal of ICBT for alcohol misuse is typically behavioural change, measured in terms of reduction of drinks consumed, as opposed to abstinence. These interventions can be delivered in a therapist-guided format or self-guided format. In past research on ICBT for alcohol misuse, stakeholders (e.g., patients, providers, and academics) highlighted the importance of ensuring that ICBT meets the needs of diverse residents of Saskatchewan, and that ICBT takes into account factors such as psychological comorbidity. Therefore, the goals of the current trial are to: 1) incorporate additional patient narratives to assist clients in learning how diverse individuals apply skills to their lives; and 2) provide additional optional resources to address potential co-morbid concerns. The study aims to examine how these materials are evaluated by clients. Furthermore, we will also examine the overall engagement and outcomes of the enhanced ICBT course for alcohol misuse benchmarked with past findings.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Comorbidities 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 Comorbidities 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 Comorbidities 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 Comorbidities 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 Comorbidities 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 Comorbidities clinical trials?

Most recently, we added Coenzyme Q10 for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Massed Prolonged Exposure Therapy for PTSD and Substance Addiction and RO7204239 + Tirzepatide for Obesity to the Power online platform.
