This study assesses the effectiveness of colorectal cancer (CRC) screening intervention, mobile Patient Technology for Health (mPATH™-Cloud), compared to usual care among subjects who are overdue for CRC screening according to recommendations of the United States Preventive Services Taskforce (USPSTF). The trial randomly selects and enrolls 1,000 eligible subjects served by one federally qualified health center (FQHC) in North Carolina. Subjects are randomized to two study arms, Usual Care (Arm 1) or Mobile Health Decision Support (Arm 2). Usual care consists of a visit-based screening recommendation to complete a stool test (e.g., FOBT, FIT, Cologuard) or referral to a screening colonoscopy. Subjects randomized to the Mobile Health Decision Support (Arm 2) are sent a message by text or US mail, depending on their preferred communication mode as indicated in the electronic health record (EHR), to visit the mPATH™-Cloud website. Subjects who engage with mPATH™-Cloud are invited to answer brief questions to confirm their eligibility and then view a short decision aid video designed to help people choose the CRC screening test (FIT or colonoscopy) that they would like to receive. After watching the video, subjects can choose a CRC screening test. Their primary care provider at the FQHC orders the appropriate test and, where indicated, refers the subjects to a colonoscopy. Subjects who request FIT screening and subjects who do not select any test receive a FIT mailed to their home address. The primary outcome of interest is CRC screening completion within 6 months after randomization as assessed by EHR chart review. A completed screening is any of the following: colonoscopy completion (regardless of indication); 2) at least one FIT test with a normal result; or diagnostic colonoscopy following an abnormal FIT result. We hypothesize that we will observe a higher CRC screening completion rate in the Mobile Health Decision Support intervention arm (Arm 2). This study includes up to three annual rounds of screening eligibility assessment and outreach. Repeated intervention rounds allow us to evaluate whether the intervention can improve adherence to USPSTF recommendations over time. During the 3-year intervention phase, Arm 1 receives usual care only.

Physical rehabilitation interventions that promote activity-dependent neuroplasticity are desired for children with CP as this will result in improved motor skill and function. In adult neurological populations, such as stroke and spinal cord injury, FES is a recommended, evidence-based intervention that addresses motor and sensory impairments and promotes neuroplasticity. The evidence base supporting the safety, feasibility and efficacy of FES for youth with CP is rapidly growing, yet FES is not commonly used in Canadian pediatric rehabilitation. Through interviews with Canadian pediatric physical and occupational therapists, we identified numerous barriers to FES implementation, including a lack of knowledge and training in FES, difficulty accessing FES equipment, and a perceived lack of time to deliver FES within a treatment session. To address these barriers, we have developed an implementation intervention for FES that consists of an online course and toolkit for physical and occupational therapists. As a next step, we will evaluate the effects of the implementation intervention on pediatric therapists' knowledge, confidence and use of FES.

In randomized clinical trials and observational studies, influenza vaccination is effective in reducing influenza-related illness and hospitalizations and potentially cardiovascular (CV) events and mortality in select populations. However, the potential population-level benefit of influenza vaccination is limited by its uptake. Novel implementation strategies to improve vaccination uptake are needed. KP VACCINATE is a multicenter, sequential, individual-level randomized controlled implementation trial examining the effectiveness of a CV-focused nudging communication vs. usual care communication on influenza vaccination uptake among Kaiser Permanente Northern California (KPNC) and Kaiser Permanente Mid Atlantic States (KPMAS) eligible members during the 2024-2025 influenza season.

PositiveLinks mHealth Platform for HIV/AIDS

Washington, District of Columbia
To achieve the end of the HIV epidemic, concerted efforts will be needed to address the HIV care continuum, including improving retention in care (RIC) and viral suppression (VS) among persons with HIV (PWH). In the U.S., less than 50% of PWH are RIC and even fewer are VS. Studies have shown that these PWH have poorer clinical outcomes and are at risk of transmitting HIV to others, hence the need for innovative solutions to improve retention in care and subsequent viral suppression. Theory-based mHealth interventions have been shown to be promising in reaching these at-risk groups and improving HIV-related outcomes. PositiveLinks is a clinic-deployed mHealth platform that includes patient and provider smartphone apps, a web portal for clinic staff and providers to manage patient cohorts, an online implementation guide, and a learning management system to train and certify clinic staff. It has theory-based features including daily queries of adherence, mood, and stress, graphical feedback for self-monitoring, secure messaging with staff, appointment reminders, anonymized peer support, information resources, and document upload capability to support insurance re-enrollment. A 12-month prospective study in poorly retained PWH found that PL increased RIC and VS, with app use related to benefit as well as improved social support and stigma. PL is a promising existing mHealth tool for PWH, yet its efficacy has not been tested in a randomized trial, nor in urban populations. The investigators will test the efficacy of PositiveLinks to improve RIC and VS among a cohort of PWH in a high HIV prevalence city of Washington, DC. Participants will be identified from the DC Cohort, a longitudinal prospective cohort of PWH receiving HIV care at 15 clinics in DC. First, the investigators will conduct formative research to assess the feasibility, acceptability and usability of PositiveLinks among this urban cohort and conduct subsequent adaptations based on these findings. The investigators will then conduct an efficacy study through a cluster randomized controlled trial at 12 DC Cohort sites among 482 PWH. Clinics will be randomized to PL or usual care. Primary outcomes will include VS, RIC, and visit constancy at 12 months. Finally, the investigators will conduct mixed methods implementation science research guided by the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research and RE-AIM to identify site, patient, provider, and system factors that characterize best practices in program implementation. If successful, this research will lead to the development of a novel and efficacious approach to improving RIC and VS among PWH which could lead to dissemination research that will contribute to HIV epidemic control. This project is responsive to NIH priorities, National HIV/AIDS Strategy, and Ending the HIV Epidemic goals as it is cross-cutting, seeks to reduce health inequities, and to improve health outcomes to achieve sustained viral suppression in a geographic hotspot for HIV.

The PAUSE Trial is a pragmatic, randomized clinical trial for Veterans scheduled for elective surgery at 3 large VA facilities (Palo Alto, Houston, and Nashville). The PAUSE Trial focuses on cooperation between providers of various disciplines in order to provide better care. Veterans identified as frail upon standardized will be referred to a multidisciplinary "PAUSE Board" comprised of members from surgery, anesthesia, geriatrics, palliative care, case management, rehabilitation, and nutrition. Diverse specialists will come together in a team environment to discuss care options, scientific evidence, and patient goals and expectations, creating individual patient recommendations. The investigators hypothesize that the PAUSE Board model will improve quality and outcomes by promoting guidelines and evidence-based care recommendations as well as constructive team-based discussions to align care with patient goals and expectations.

Affordable housing residents continue to experience multi-faceted insecurity and advance care planning (ACP) challenges even after obtaining secure housing, resulting in significant inequities in quality of care during times of cognitive incapacity. To promote proactive planning for affordable housing residents, this proposal is for a pilot study to test a novel trauma-informed care adapted advance care planning intervention with the following aims: to test initial efficacy of the intervention on ACP outcomes (Aim 1) and determine resident perceptions of intervention acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility and perceived implementation barriers and facilitators (Aim 2). These data will support the development of a larger scale study of ACP interventions within a resiliency-based hub model to comprehensively support whole-person care and proactive planning for times of cognitive incapacity.

Metabolic-dysfunction associated steatotic liver disease, often referred to as "fatty liver disease", is a leading cause of liver failure. Dietary weight loss is a cornerstone of treating fatty liver disease, but access to traditional in-person nutritional education is often limited by cost, availability, and transportation. Immersive virtual reality (iVR) has the potential to not only overcome these barriers, but also provide an interactive learning experience, such as measuring and preparing foods. Therefore, the investigators have created and validated an iVR dietician program known as the Immersive Virtual Alimentation and Nutrition (IVAN) using evidence-informed practices from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. The goal of this project is to translate the IVAN program from human and patient research to practice and community research. The investigators plan to accomplish this by performing a randomized clinical trial evaluating the effect of the IVAN program in combination with synchronous audio/video dietary counseling on self-reported dietary intake and weight compared to in-person counseling. Concurrently, the investigators will provide a survey assessing implementation outcomes to both groups as well as the dietician at each study visit, and crossover the intervention at study completion so all participants assess the IVAN program. Additionally, the investigators will have clinic health care providers experience the IVAN program and assess implementation outcomes.

The investigators are investigating ways to incorporate new technologies that can enhance functional outcome after neurological insult into the patient recovery space. In order to accelerate the translation of these technologies to patient care spaces, the investigators need to identify the locations that are feasible for its use. Currently the investigators are using video game technologies that are used to maximize motor recovery of impaired upper extremities after neurological insult in the outpatient (clinic) setting. These technologies interface with robotics and other hardware to create a therapy experience that is fun, engaging, dynamic, challenging, and promotes repetitions that are otherwise difficult to achieve during conventional post-stroke rehabilitation. The investigators think early use of these technologies could enhance recovery of the arm, but It is not known if use of these technologies in the early post-stroke recovery period is safe and feasible.

This randomized controlled trial will take place in up to 15 community health centers across the state of Illinois. Researchers will be studying S.A.F.E. Firearm, a program that aims to increase secure storage of firearms in homes with children. Specifically, S.A.F.E. Firearm includes a brief conversation between pediatric clinicians and parents about secure firearm storage and an offer of a free cable firearm lock within the well-child visit. Researchers will also study a package of strategies to help pediatric clinics incorporate this new practice. The strategies include training for clinic personnel and facilitation, or tailored problem-solving support. The questions the study aims to answer are: * How effective is the package of strategies at helping pediatric clinics adopt this new practice? * How effective is the S.A.F.E. Firearm program at changing parents' and guardians' firearm storage behavior? Some parents and guardians will be invited to complete a brief survey after their visit about their experiences receiving S.A.F.E. Firearm. Some community health center personnel will also be invited to complete an interview about their experiences with S.A.F.E. Firearm and the package of strategies.

The overall goal of this study is to identify and rigorously evaluate strategies for implementing and sustaining team-based home blood pressure monitoring (TB-HBPM) within primary care. The TB-HBPM intervention is a multifaceted program involving patient transmission of blood readings to EHR and clinical decision support. Implementation strategies include group-based education on hypertension measurement, target blood pressure goals, drug and lifestyle management, referral to community resources, and team training designed to optimize the coordination of hypertension care, and monthly audit and feedback reports to teams and clinicians. Hypertension control rates are suboptimal in many primary care practices with persistent racial disparities in control. Team-based home blood pressure monitoring (TB-HPBM) involving patient transmission of their home blood pressure readings in real-time to their clinical team has been shown to improve blood pressure control. There is an urgent need to implement TB-HBPM into practice. The overall objective of this research is to assess implementation strategies that mitigate barriers and leverage facilitators to TB-HBHM on hypertension control and disparities between Black and White patients. The study team and investigators will use mixed methods to assess the process and generate knowledge to facilitate broader uptake of TB-HBPM.

Cascade Screening for High Cholesterol

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
The goal of this clinical trial is to test two implementation strategies (automated health system \[Penn Medicine\]-mediated strategy vs. Family Heart Foundation-mediated strategy using a patient navigator) versus usual care to promote family cascade screening for familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) in Penn Medicine patients diagnosed with FH ("probands"). The main questions this study aims to answer are: (1) evaluating the effect of the three approaches on reach (proportion of probands who have at least one family member who completes screening), number of family members screened, number of family members diagnosed with FH, and proband LDL-C levels; and (2) identifying implementation strategy mechanisms focusing on health equity using mixed methods and oversampling populations that experience disparities. Participants (probands) in the active arms (health system \[Penn Medicine\]-mediated, Family Heart Foundation-mediated) will receive messaging that provides education about FH and provides instructions for participating in family cascade screening. A subset of probands will be invited to complete a qualitative interview about their experience receiving the implementation strategy. The research team will compare the active arms to Penn Medicine usual care for cascade screening to evaluate whether the active arms are more effective at promoting cascade screening than usual care.

5-fluorouracil and capecitabine, sometimes called 5-FU, fluoropyrimidines, or Xeloda are a type of chemotherapy. Many people have side effects from these drugs like nausea, diarrhea, or blood problems. This research study is being conducted to learn how to help increase the number of patients offered DPYD testing before taking this type of chemotherapy drugs. DPYD testing can help predict risk of side effects. Different people's bodies break down and use drugs faster or slower. Genes are the instructions that tell our bodies how to do this. The DPYD gene is one of the genes that tell your body how to use chemotherapy drugs. Some people have changes in their DPYD gene that can make their side effects from chemotherapy worse, sometimes so bad that they die. DPYD testing can tell doctors which people have these gene changes and need extra monitoring during chemotherapy. Some of the people in this study will join a focus group and read sample messages for future patients. They will discuss with the other participants how well the message does its job and anything that might make the message better. When there are no more messages, the host may ask about other information for future patients like a website or brochure. Other people in the study will read sample messages that may be sent to future patients about DPYD testing. They will select the message that they like the best and might make them ask their oncologist about testing options.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Implementation 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 Implementation 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 Implementation 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 Implementation 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 Implementation 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 Implementation clinical trials?

Most recently, we added Emergency Care Action Plan for Infant Health, Preoperative Geriatric Assessment for Surgery and System-Level Intervention for Visual Impairment to the Power online platform.
