Learn More About PowerCollaborative Life Skills Tool for ADHD
San Diego, California
The purpose of this study is to integrate digital health (dHealth) technology into the Collaborative Life Skills Program (CLS), an established, school-based behavioral intervention for students with ADHD, to make the program accessible to schools that serve students from low-socioeconomic (SES) backgrounds. Existing evidence-based interventions for students with ADHD are often inaccessible in schools with limited resources to support implementation. By adapting CLS to include a dHealth tool-CLS-D-investigators aim to improve the feasibility of intervention implementation in schools with limited resources and mitigate disparities in access to evidence-based interventions among students with ADHD who are from low-SES backgrounds.

Collaborative Life Skills for ADHD
San Diego, California
This project aims to develop an adaptation of the Collaborative Life Skills Program (CLS) that will be supported by mHealth technology. CLS is an evidence-based intervention for 2nd-5th grade children with ADHD that is delivered in schools through coordinated efforts among school mental health providers, teachers, and parents. School mental health providers are trained to coordinate evidence-based teacher- (i.e., Daily Behavioral Report Card) and parent-mediated (i.e., Behavioral Parent Training) behavioral interventions, and lead child social and organizational skills training groups. The adapted intervention, which integrates mHealth technology (CLS-M), will improve the usability, feasibility, and acceptability of CLS in schools with limited resources serving children from low-socioeconomic status (SES) and ethnic/racial minority (ERM) backgrounds, reducing disparities in access to evidence-based ADHD interventions in these populations. Barriers to service use in schools where low-SES and ERM families are most likely to receive services include logistical constraints (e.g., time, transportation, childcare, work schedules), perceptual barriers (e.g., cultural mistrust, stigma, perceived efficacy), and insufficient resources (e.g., staff, time, consultation support). Building on prior research, the investigators will develop and test a fully functional web-based mHealth application to support CLS-M that includes an integrated user portal for school mental health providers, teachers, and parents. The application will also include separate interfaces that support key features to facilitate each person's role in CLS implementation at school or at home, such as access to shared information about child assessments, goals, and automatically generated graphs of child Daily Behavioral Report Card performance. Messaging features will facilitate communication among school mental health providers, parents, and teachers, and calendar features that integrate with third- party calendar applications (e.g., Google Calendar) will facilitate scheduling, meeting tracking, and sharing links to third-party videoconferencing applications (e.g., Zoom). Based on stakeholder feedback from school administrators, school mental health providers, teachers, and parents, the investigators will work with mobile application developers to design a fully functional web-based mHealth application prototype to support the CLS-M protocol. the investigators will then test and refine the prototype through a series of individual usability tests and an open feasibility trial. the investigators will also collect formative data from stakeholders in rural schools in Imperial County to inform future research on adapting CLS-M for low-SES and ERM families served in this setting. Finally, the investigators will conduct a Hybrid Type I cluster randomized trial in 24 schools in a large urban school district, to evaluate whether CLS-M results in acceptable implementation outcomes and improved child outcomes in comparison to usual school services. The specific aims are to 1) Develop CLS-M and test its usability, feasibility, and acceptability among key stakeholders; 2) Collect formative data to inform future CLS-M adaptations for families living in rural settings; and 3) Evaluate CLS-M implementation and impact on child outcomes relative to typical school services.

PREVENT Intervention for Increasing HPV Vaccination
Seattle, Washington
This study will serve as one of the first to develop and test the effectiveness of strategies to promote HPV vaccination among diverse rural parents and caregivers of children ages 9-17 years in the Mountain West. Once implemented into practice, our intervention could significantly reduce disparities in the burden of HPV-associated cancers among rural populations in the United States.
The proposed study will assess the effectiveness of clinic-based outreach to increase vaccination rates for HPV at four community clinics in rural counties in Washington. This study is a boot camp translation to tailor messaging based on patient and provider input The proposed study includes the following: (1) boot camp translation to tailor messaging based on patient and provider input; (2) PREVENT randomized controlled trial (RCT) that will assign adult parent/caregiver participants to a timeline for receiving intervention; and (3) qualitative interviews with parents/caregivers, providers, and other healthcare team members and development of best practices, implementation guides and dissemination of findings for other clinics to implement the program on a broader scale. At the end of the trial, personal interviews with parents/caregivers, clinical staff, and providers will be conducted to understand reactions to the program and persistent barriers to initiating and completing HPV vaccination.

Vaccine for E. coli Infections
Cincinnati, Ohio
The study is designed to evaluate the safety, immunogenicity, and efficacy of the intramuscular administration of a CS6 based vaccine (CssBA) against ETEC co-administered with double mutant labile toxin (dmLT) in preventing moderate-severe diarrhea (MSD) following challenge with ETEC strain B7A in healthy adults. Approximately 72 adult participants, divided into 4 cohorts of 18, will be randomized 1:1 to receive vaccine (45 micrograms CssBA with 0.5 micrograms dmLT) or placebo (normal saline) on an outpatient basis. All participants will receive 3 intramuscular (IM) doses of vaccine or placebo at 3-week intervals (days 1, 22 and 43). Following vaccination, participants will be followed as outpatients for safety using a memory aid from the time of each vaccination through 7 days post each vaccination. Approximately 28 days (plus or minus 1 day) after receipt of the 3rd dose of study agent, participants meeting challenge criteria will be admitted to an inpatient unit and be administered an oral dose of 1 x 10\^10 cfu (colony-forming unit) of ETEC strain B7A. Five days after challenge, participants will be treated with ciprofloxacin, except in cases of known allergy or intolerance. Participants will be discharged from the inpatient unit when they have completed their 3-day antibiotic course and are able to care for themselves. After discharge from the inpatient unit, participants will return for clinic visits and have a phone visit to provide any updates on medication, medical history and AE/SAEs. The primary objectives are: 1) Estimate CssBA+dmLT efficacy in preventing moderate-severe diarrhea (MSD) following challenge with ETEC strain B7A in healthy adults. 2) Evaluate the safety of intramuscular injection of CssBA+dmLT.

School-Based Management for Childhood Asthma
Buffalo, New York
Children with asthma from communities that experience health inequities frequently do not receive guideline-based asthma care, and as a result, account for a disproportionate percentage of asthma exacerbations, emergency department visits, and hospitalizations. Project ASTHMA (Aligning with Schools To Help Manage Asthma) tests the effectiveness of school-based health centers as a delivery model to improve health outcomes by providing children with guideline-based asthma assessments and preventive medication management, directly observed therapy of their preventive medication to support adherence, and self-management support. If successful, this multicomponent intervention will represent a cost effective and sustainable model to reduce asthma morbidity in historically marginalized communities, and has the potential to impact communities throughout the United States where over 2,500 school-based health centers operate.

400 Participants Needed
This study focuses on male and female patients being treated for breast cancer that is positive for the HER2 receptor which requires special treatments targeting that receptor. The problem is that these treatments, while effective for the cancer, can sometimes harm the heart. Because of this, patients have to undergo heart tests every three months during treatment, even if they have no history of heart disease or feel fine.
The guidelines for these regular heart tests were established decades ago when these treatments were first introduced, but research shows that most of these tests don't actually change the treatment plan. This suggests that many patients are going through unnecessary tests, which can cause stress, delay treatments, and increase healthcare costs.
To address this, the researchers propose a new study with 300 patients with HER2 positive breast cancer to test a more personalized approach to cardiac surveillance. Participants will be classified based on their risk of heart problems: low or intermediate. Instead of testing every patient every three months, those in the intermediate group will be tested every 4 months, and those in the low-risk group will be tested every 6 months. The researchers will compare this new approach to the current system to see if fewer tests are just as safe and effective.
The researchers will measure heart health, how well cancer treatments are completed, and how patients feel about having fewer tests. If this new approach works, it could save money and reduce the burden on female patients without risking their health.

Soy Protein Foods for High Blood Pressure
Toronto, Ontario
This is a randomized, controlled, parallel study with 3 experimental arms aimed to assess the effect of a digital dietary intervention (web-based app, online behavior change curriculum) enhanced with 10 servings of vegetables and fruit (5 as dietary advice within the app, 5 within a dehydrated vegetable and fruit blend), with or without high Ultra Processed Food (UPF) soy-containing proteins compared to standard of care (usual care) on systolic blood pressure (SBP; primary outcome), and other key cardiometabolic endpoints over 12-weeks in adults living with hypertension and obesity, 50% with type 2 diabetes. The main questions this study aims to answer are:
1. Are nutrient-dense, high-UPF soy-protein foods similar (non-inferior) to low-UPF soy-protein foods in the context of a guidelines-based diet in their effect on blood pressure and other cardiometabolic risk factors?
2. Does an enhanced digital dietary intervention lead to meaningful reductions in blood pressure and other cardiometabolic risk factors compared to standard of care?
Participants who are eligible and consent to be part of this study will be randomized to one of the following groups: 1) Active treatment (high-UPF soy-containing enhanced digital dietary intervention), 2) Reference treatment (low-UPF soy-containing enhanced digital dietary intervention), or 3) Control (standard of care).

Digital Heart Health Program for Heart Disease
Toronto, Ontario
Despite the availability of medications, many people around the world continue to live with long-term health problems like heart disease, stroke and diabetes. In Canada, heart disease is a leading cause of death. Managing these health issues can be done by changing diet and lifestyle. Specific ways of eating have been proven to improve risk for heart disease and stroke. However, because doctors often have limited time, nutrition education, and lack of tools for counseling patients on nutrition, they can often only provide minimal support to help patients make necessary lifestyle changes. Digital tools and mobile applications offer an opportunity to involve doctors and patients in delivering nutrition interventions. This approach has the potential to save time, provide education, and reduce healthcare costs. This study is being done to understand the effect of a digital heart health program added to standard of care, compared with standard of care alone on heart health. All eligible participants in this study will be randomized (determined by chance) to one of two possible interventions: 1) a digital heart health program + standard of care; 2) standard of care. Standard is care is defined as the best practice based on guidelines for the treatment of a condition. All participants will be followed for seven years and will be asked to complete online questionnaires and complete blood work at their nearest LifeLabs clinic, as well as wear a continuous glucose monitor and wrist actigraph (at 3 time points in the first year). In addition, participants randomized to the digital heart health program + standard of care will be expected to use the heart health app and join 16 online synchronous sessions over the first year.
After seven years, the intervention phase of the study will end and the study will become a cohort study. All participants at the 7-year time point will be invited to use the heart health app. As part of the cohort study, participants will be asked to continue completing the same questionnaires online and completing bloodwork at their nearest LifeLabs every four years for the duration of their participation in the cohort study.
The main questions this study aims to answer are:
1. Will a digital heart health program added to standard of care result in a clinically meaningful reduction in blood cholesterol and other risk factors after 1-year compared to standard of care alone?
2. Will a digital heart health program added to standard of care result in a reduction in major cardiovascular events after 7-years compared to standard of care alone?
3. Are the observed effects sustained beyond the 7-years of the intervention?
We hypothesize that the digital heart health program added to standard of care will result in a clinically meaningful reduction in blood cholesterol and other risk factors for heart disease after 1-year and reduce major cardiovascular events after 7-years compared to standard of care alone.

Exercise for Multiple Sclerosis
Toronto, Ontario
This multi-center, randomized controlled feasibility trial will assess a 20-week home-based exercise intervention in youth with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). The goal is to determine the feasibility of conducting a larger, definitive trial on exercise training as a non-pharmacological approach to improve disease outcomes in this population.
Participants will be randomized to either an Exercise Training group or a Mobility and Flexibility Training group. The investigators will evaluate differences between the two groups in physical activity levels, mediators of physical activity, and psychosocial outcomes. Assessments, including clinical exams, brain MRI, eye tracking, cognitive testing, blood draws, and questionnaires, will occur at baseline and after 20 weeks. Accelerometry will be done at baseline, 10 weeks, and 20 weeks to track physical activity.
The primary objectives are to assess the feasibility of recruiting, retaining, and randomizing youth with MS and to evaluate adherence to the exercise intervention and coaching sessions. Exploratory objectives include examining changes in depressive symptoms, cognitive function, blood biomarkers (BDNF and irisin), brain volume, and fitness levels in response to the intervention.
Approximately 40 participants will be enrolled from four sites in Canada and the United States.
Primary outcomes include feasibility, acceptability, and fidelity measures. Exploratory outcomes include blood biomarkers, brain MRI, cognitive testing, and other neuropsychological measures.

CPAP Therapy for Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Toronto, Ontario
The overall goal of this randomized controlled trial is to test the hypothesis that in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and previously untreated obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), 4 months of web-based sleep education and continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) will improve cognitive function more than web-based sleep education alone. Secondarily, this trial will test the hypothesis that 8 months of CPAP will improve cognitive function more than 4 months of CPAP. Moreover, treating OSA with CPAP can improve cognitive function and reduce Alzheimer's disease-related brain changes in older adults with MCI.
This study will compare an Early CPAP Group who will receive CPAP and sleep education simultaneously for 8 months upon enrollment to a Later CPAP Group who will first receive sleep education for 4 months followed by CPAP and sleep education for the next 4 months to test if early treatment is more beneficial.
Participants will:
1. Complete web-based sleep education modules through the Brain Health Pro (BHP) platform
2. Undergo CPAP therapy, including in-person mask fitting and regular monitoring alongside a study sleep technologist
At 0 months, 4 months, and 8 months, participants will participate in cognitive assessments, provide blood samples, use wearable devices to measure sleep patterns and physiology, and complete a 1-hr MRI (0 months and 4 months only).

Parent-focused Intervention for HIV Prevention
Washington, District of Columbia
Gay and bisexual youth make up 80% of all new HIV infections among adolescents ages 14-19 in the United States, yet interventions to improve sexual health outcomes in these youth are extremely limited. Our team has developed an intervention -- Parents and Adolescents Talking about Healthy Sexuality (PATHS) -- to reduce HIV risk for gay and bisexual youth by working with their parents to improve the ways parents communicate with their sons about sexual health. The intervention is all completed by parents online and takes 45-60 minutes to complete. The goal of this study is to test whether PATHS helps improve sexual health among gay and bisexual male teens ages 14-19.
To do this 350 parent-adolescent dyads will be recruited online (50% of those dyads will be racial/ethnic minority). Parents will be randomized to receive either PATHS or a control (a film designed to general support parents of gay/bisexual youth). Parents and sons will then complete surveys every 3 months over a 1-year period. Families assigned to PATHS will be compared to families assigned to the film 6 months after the intervention. Then the families originally given the control film will receive PATHS, and all dyads will be followed for another 6 months. This allows us to test the effects of PATHS in the control arm (by comparing families' experiences in the 6 months before they received the PATHS to their experiences over the next 6 months). It also allows us to test whether families who originally received PATHS will continue to benefit 9 and 12-months after the intervention.
To assess sexual health, adolescents will complete self-report measures of their comfort using condoms, their access to condoms, their knowledge of the correct way to use a condom, their intentions to use condoms, their awareness of pre-exposure prophylaxis as an HIV prevention method, and their attitudes toward PrEP. If they are sexually active, they will also report about their history of condom use during sex. Adolescents will also complete a video-recorded "condom demonstration" in which they will demonstrate the appropriate technique for applying a condom, using a real condom and a oval-shaped shampoo bottle. Finally, adolescents will self-report whether they have received an HIV test in the previous year, consistent with recommendations for gay and bisexual men by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Multi-level Intervention for Childhood Cancer Survivorship Care Adherence
Chapel Hill, North Carolina
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.

Couples-Based Therapy for Reducing Veteran Suicide Risk
Canandaigua, New York
This study compares two approaches to working with Veterans that have a mix of mental health and relationship concerns in primary care. One approach is a 3-session couple-based program called the Brief Relationship Checkup (BRC). BRC has shown promise improving relationship health in Air Force primary care (including some mental health symptoms related to relationship functioning) but has never been tested for individuals with significant mental health concerns. The other approach is a high-quality delivery of three sessions of Co-Located Collaborative Care (CCC) with the Screened Veteran only. This program is the current standard of care for Veterans reporting mental health concerns in primary care (including mental health concerns related to their relationship) but has never been tested for individuals struggling with relationship concerns. The goal is to compare the benefits of the couples-based program vs. the individual-based program when it comes to reducing suicide risk factors at the relationship level and the individual level.

Geriatric Assessment for Cancer Care
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
This Interventional clinical study aims to explore how receiving information about their health and physical abilities affects the treatment decisions of older adults. The study will look at whether sharing detailed assessments of their health and functional status helps older adults better understand their condition and make informed decisions about their care.
The main question it aims to answer is if providing this information changes the treatment priorities of older adults, helping them focus on what matters most to them in their medical care.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do Healthy Controls 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 Healthy Controls 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 Healthy Controls 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 Healthy Controls 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 Healthy Controls 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 Healthy Controls clinical trials?
Most recently, we added LIFUP Neuromodulation for Healthy Controls, Yoga for Persistent Post-Surgical Pain and Stress Induction for Borderline Personality Disorder to the Power online platform.
