Columbus, Ohio
The investigator's long-term goal is to mitigate pregnancy-related mortality (PRM) risk by systematically delivering integrated clinical and supportive care that is effective, equitable, and scalable. The investigator's central hypothesis is that the Multi-modal Maternal Infant Perinatal Outpatient Delivery System (MOMI PODS) will mitigate postpartum (PP) risk and reduce disparities in PP risk by improving biopsychosocial profiles and facilitating access to evidence-based clinical and supportive care. To test this hypothesis, the investigators will conduct a hybrid type 1 randomized controlled trial (RCT) of MOMI PODS versus enhanced usual care (EUC, which we will term MOMI CARE) among a total sample of 384 mother-infant dyads (192/group) following pregnancy affected by a cardiometabolic and/or mental health condition. The investigators will enroll participants on PP day 1 and collect data at baseline and 6 months and 1 year PP. The investigators will collect implementation and service data across sites.

Health Screening and Referral for Premature Birth
Cincinnati, Ohio
Up to a quarter of the families with preterm infants have unmet social needs, such as housing or job insecurity, which represent adverse social determinants of health (SDOH). Preterm infants are especially vulnerable to the social conditions they grow up in, with sustained impacts on function across multiple organ systems. The goal of this study is to translate an established model of SDOH screening and referral from the outpatient setting to the NICU, thereby maximizing the potential to offset the effects of adverse SDOH on vulnerable mother-preterm infant dyads.

Nutrition and Exercise for Pregnancy Weight Gain
London, Ontario
Interventions that target excessive gestational weight gain (EGWG) with nutrition and exercise behavior change struggle with low program adherence. The investigators recently examined adherence in a randomized controlled trial to a previously established lifestyle program called the Nutrition and Exercise Lifestyle Intervention Program (NELIP) and found that those individuals with high adherence to the program were more likely to prevent EGWG. Perhaps offering participants a choice to intervention strategies may improve adherence. The current research question is: What impact does participant choice have on adherence to the introduction of nutrition and exercise components during 3 intervention strategies offered to pregnant individuals compared to no choice and does choice maintain pregnancy health outcomes? The strategies are: Group A - introducing both the nutrition and exercise components simultaneous at baseline (12-18 weeks of pregnancy) that is followed to delivery (NELIP); Group B - introducing the nutrition component first and then at 25 weeks adding the exercise component; or Group C - starting with the exercise component first, followed with introducing the nutrition component at 25 weeks. Both Groups B and C follow the full NELIP from 25 weeks to delivery (final intervention measures will occur at 34-36 weeks gestation). Follow-up will occur at birth (6-18 hours), 2, 6 and 12 months post delivery.

Patient Navigation Program for Pregnancy
Chicago, Illinois
The Partnering with Antenatal Navigators to Transform Health in Pregnancy (PATH) study aims to evaluate whether an antenatal patient navigation program improves maternal health, neonatal health, pregnant persons' experiences, and health care utilization outcomes among low-income pregnant individuals and their neonates. Patient navigation is an individualized, barrier-focused, longitudinal, patient-centered intervention that offers support for a defined set of health services. In this randomized controlled trial, pregnant individuals who are randomized to receive antenatal patient navigation will be compared to pregnant individuals who are randomized to receive usual care. Navigators will support birthing people from before 20 weeks of gestation through 2 weeks postpartum. The PATH intervention will be grounded in understanding and addressing social determinants of health in order to promote self-efficacy, enhance access, and sustain long-term engagement.
The main objectives of the study are to:
1. Evaluate whether PATH, compared to usual care, improves maternal health outcomes. We hypothesize the PATH model of bundled social- and health systems-focused antenatal patient navigation for racially and ethnically diverse low-income individuals will reduce the incidence of a composite of adverse maternal outcomes all known to be associated with socioeconomic disadvantage and SDoH. We will also investigate maternal health care utilization.
2. Evaluate whether PATH, compared to usual care, improves perinatal health outcomes. We hypothesize PATH will reduce the incidence of a composite of adverse perinatal outcomes. We will also investigate neonatal/pediatric health care utilization.
3. Evaluate patient, clinician, navigator, and healthcare system experiences with PATH in preparation for widespread implementation and dissemination of the PATH obstetric navigation model. This aim will be accomplished through investigating patient-reported outcomes, completing qualitative and process mapping interviews with navigated participants, and completing qualitative and process mapping interviews with clinicians, navigators, and health administrators.

Brief Behavioral Activation Treatment for Postpartum Depression
Evanston, Illinois
SUMMIT's (Scaling Up Maternal Mental health care by Increasing access to Treatment) overarching goal is to examine the scalability and patient-centered provision of brief, evidence-based psychological treatments for perinatal depression and anxiety (N=1226). Specifically, and through a multi-site, randomized, pragmatic trial, the trial examines whether a brief, behavioral activation (BA) treatment delivered via telemedicine is as effective as the same treatment delivered in person; and whether BA delivered by non-mental health providers (e.g., nurses), with appropriate training is as effective as when delivered by specialist providers (psychiatrists, psychologists and social workers) in reducing perinatal depressive and anxiety symptoms. The study will be conducted in Toronto, NorthShore University HealthSystem in Evanston and surrounding areas including Chicago, and North Carolina. The trial will also identify relevant underlying implementation processes and determine whether, and to what extent, these strategies work differentially for certain women over others.

Prenatal Support Program for Premature Birth
Chapel Hill, North Carolina
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a personalized prenatal support program \[(Personalized Toolkit Building a Comprehensive Approach to Resource optimization and Empowerment in Pregnancy \& Beyond, (PTBCARE+)\] works to lower stress and lower the risk of early delivery in pregnant individuals at high-risk for delivering preterm. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are:
* Does the PTBCARE+ patient support program lower patient-reported stress levels during pregnancy?
* Does the PTBCARE+ patient support program improve biologic measures of stress during pregnancy?
* Does the PTBCARE+ patient support program result in a higher chance of delivering a healthy baby at or close to full term?
Researchers will compare people who participate in the PTBCARE+ patient support program to those receive usual care to see if the PTBCARE+ patient support program lowers patient-reported stress, improves biologic measures of stress, and increases the chance of delivering a healthy baby at or close to full term.
Participants will be randomly assigned to receive the PTBCARE+ patient support program or usual prenatal care.
All participants will be asked to:
* complete 2 study visits during pregnancy - including completing electronic surveys, providing a blood and urine sample, measuring the heart rate variability by a clip or the ear or finger, and body composition evaluation using a simple scale-like device.
* complete one study visit postpartum that includes completing electronic surveys, and measuring heart rate variability. Blood and urine sample collection and body composition evaluation via InBody scale are optional at the postpartum visit.
People who are randomly assigned to receive the PTBCARE+ support program will receive several resources to help them during pregnancy. These things include items such as:
* a stress reduction toolkit;
* access to an online website that can also be downloaded as a smart phone app;
* the option to receive an electronic massage while in clinic, and more.
* additional support gifts provided at routine clinical appointments
People who are randomly assigned to receive usual prenatal care will not receive any additional support resources from the study during pregnancy.

Penny COPILOT for Opioid Use Disorder
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
To address both loneliness and engagement in perinatal and OUD care among perinatal women, the investigators plan to adapt an existing texting support chatbot, Penny, to make it appropriate for use by women who are pregnant and postpartum and dealing with OUD. The newly adapted chatbot, Penny COPILOT, will allow for two way short message service (SMS) messaging to respond appropriately and accurately to user generated input. The investigative team, in collaboration with the Penn Mixed Methods Research Lab (MMRL) and Penn's Way 2 Health Team, will use intervention mapping guided by the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Science. The investigators will conduct a needs assessment, assemble an advisory board, engage in pretesting to ensure safety and refine content, and pilot test the resultant adapted Penny COPILOT in a sample of 20 perinatal women with OUD to evaluate acceptability, feasibility, and patient satisfaction. The goal is to develop and refine an acceptable, feasible, and satisfactory supportive texting chatbot to promote patient engagement in perinatal and OUD care and decrease perceived loneliness.

"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.

Text Messaging vs In-Person Counseling for Maternal Health
New York, New York
The study will apply the principles of Community Based Participatory Research to evaluate implementation strategies, designed to assist in the delivery of an evidence-based lifestyle counseling intervention for pregnant participants. The primary strategies include a technology supported strategy (low touch) in which text messaging and online videos are used for asynchronous viewing compared to a Community Health Worker-led synchronous (group and individual) strategy (high touch). Prior to implementation, one-time interview and focus groups will be conducted with clinic providers and staff. In addition, a subsample of subjects will be enrolled into a prospective cohort to complete a survey during pregnancy and a survey postpartum. The aims of the study are 1) to evaluate and compare adoption of the program delivery with text technology messaging vs. delivery by Community Health Workers (CHW), 2) to examine implementation fidelity , 3) to evaluate and compare the impact of the strategies on key clinical outcomes, 4) to examine sustainability (continued adoption) following the CHW-led strategy implementation period and conduct an economic evaluation of the two-implementation strategies.

We started Power when my dad was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, and I struggled to help him access the latest immunotherapy. Hopefully Power makes it simpler for you to explore promising new treatments, during what is probably a difficult time.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do Maternal Health 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 Maternal Health 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 Maternal Health 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 Maternal Health 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 Maternal Health 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 Maternal Health clinical trials?
Most recently, we added Prenatal Support Program for Premature Birth, Penny COPILOT for Opioid Use Disorder and Medically Tailored Meals for Pediatric Cancer to the Power online platform.
