Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
The goal of this pragmatic trial is to learn if telehealth strategies can increase shared decision-making (SDM) for lung cancer screening (LCS). It will also learn about the equity of these strategies by conducting non-inferiority analysis by race and sex. The main questions it aims to answer are:
1. Does patient outreach using synchronous and asynchronous telehealth strategies increase completion of SDM visits for LCS?
2. Is the effectiveness of these telehealth strategies similar by race and sex?
The study uses a Sequential Multiple Assignment Randomized Trial (SMART) design and includes two stages of interventions. The first stage of intervention includes direct patient outreach with an invitation to schedule either a 1) telehealth SDM visit or 2) telehealth or in-person SDM visit. Participants that do not respond to the first stage interventions receive a text message reminder encouraging SDM visit completion with or without digital care coordination.

mHealth Facilitated Intervention for HIV/AIDS
Atlanta, Georgia
HIV medications can be very effective at helping patients have longer, healthier lives. However, many patients do not take their HIV medications as prescribed. This study aims to test a promising HIV medication adherence health coaching intervention delivered primarily via a smartphone application. N = 400 persons living with HIV will be enrolled across two sites (Providence, RI \& Atlanta, GA). Participants will be randomly assigned, with a 2:1 ratio, to receive a 1) health coaching session with access to a smartphone application that provides medication reminders and remote access to the health coach or a 2) health coaching session only. Participants will complete interviews at baseline, 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after baseline. Some participants will also complete interviews at 18 and 24 months after baseline. Data analysis will examine the extent to which the intervention improves ART medication adherence, as well as other factors, compared to the control condition, which approximates standard of care.

Virtual Care for Cardiac Rehabilitation
Decatur, Georgia
Home-based CR (HBCR) is an alternative to traditional CR programs that has comparable efficacy in improving morbidity/mortality and increases access to critical services. There is major potential to improve Veteran engagement in CR by combining digital coaching (d-Coaching) with existing VA-supported technologies. The investigator's theory-based intervention targets a critical component of successful CR engagement that is not available through traditional programs: virtual social support through a social network. In addition, the investigators propose to improve self-efficacy and self-regulation through interactive digital multi-media education, personalized feedback, and motivation so that Veterans can complete the prescribed HBCR program and maintain physical activity long-term. This RCT will evaluate the effects of HBCR alone (usual care) versus HBCR + d-Coaching, including a private group with direct messaging on the Connecteam mobile application and bimonthly engagement sessions via VA Video Connect. The investigators will randomly assign 150 Veterans from 2 HBCR programs to a 3-month intervention. The addition of d- Coaching to existing digital technologies will be operationalized by using a private social media group to provide social support, education, personalized feedback, and motivation.
The investigators aim to determine the effect of the d-Coaching intervention on: a) the number of completed HBCR sessions over 3 months, b) functional capacity, c) physical activity, c) psychosocial outcomes, d) clinical outcomes, and e) social cognitive factors of self-efficacy, self-regulation, and perceived social support over 6 months. The investigators will also evaluate the extent to which self-efficacy, self-regulation, and perceived social support mediate the effect of the intervention on function and physical activity.

Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a highly prevalent condition affecting up to 10% of Veterans that leads to loss of walking ability and increased risk of amputation. Veterans have limited access to supervised exercise therapy, a facility-based program proven to improve walking ability in PAD, which is poorly attended due to the inconvenience and cost of attending a 12-week program with multiple weekly sessions. This CDA-2 application will investigate the feasibility of home-based exercise therapy (HBET) delivered using mobile health (mHealth) technologies in Veterans with symptomatic PAD. We will partner with the MOVE! program to deliver HBET through group behavioral coaching and a novel wearable activity monitor in a newly proposed program called Smart MOVE!. There is a clear need to provide effective and convenient alternatives to supervised exercise for Veterans with PAD. This study will provide evidence to proceed with Smart MOVE!, a much-needed patient-centered rehabilitation program for Veterans with PAD.

Teleexercise Methods for Improving Physical Activity
Birmingham, Alabama
The purpose of this 32 week study is to use an innovative experimental design known as SMART (Sequential Multiple Assignment Randomized Trial), which will allow us to determine the best way to sequence the delivery of teleexercise (referred to as an adaptive intervention), combined with predictive analytics on participant adherence in a stepped program of physical activity interventions.
All 257 participants will have access to a library of recorded video exercise content, and a weekly wellness article. Some participants will receive health coaching calls (1st randomization). Analytic data will be used to determine which participants are responding or not responding to the intervention. Participants not responding after 4 weeks will receive either live one on one or group exercise training (2nd randomization). After 8 weeks, the participant will receive only pre recorded exercise content and articles for another 8 weeks. After final surveys, participants will have open access to the website for another 16 weeks where we will passively observe their fitbit and website data.
The study outcomes are:

Virtual Training for Mental Illness
Ottawa, Ontario
Several types of psychotherapy are equally effective to treat mental disorders. However, many patients remain symptomatic after treatment. The investigators demonstrated that a professional development training program to improve psychotherapists' skills at identifying and repairing therapeutic alliance tensions resulted in improved therapeutic alliance (an important therapeutic ingredient) and patient mental health outcomes. However, the investigators delivered this training program by conventional in-person workshops which limited access by psychotherapists living outside large urban centres. Further, post-study interviews with therapists suggested that cultural/diversity factors complicated the therapeutic alliance.
In the current study, the investigators will test the effectiveness and acceptability of a virtually-delivered training program to psychotherapists in North America to improve their capacity to identify and repair problems in the therapeutic alliance, including tensions related to patient diversity. The investigators will also examine how acceptable the virtually-delivered training is to psychotherapists and whether they would use such training in their practice. Participants in the study will be community-based licensed psychotherapists and their patients engaging in therapy in North America. Patient mental health outcomes, therapeutic alliance, and diversity issues will be assessed by comparing outcome measures between three groups: 1) therapists complete a self-paced virtual course + consultation, 2) therapists complete synchronous workshop + consultation, 3) control: therapists do not complete training.
The team of investigators developed Canada's largest psychotherapy practice-research network and has expertise in clinical trials, diversity, and education research of virtual training. State of the art training is often out of the reach of therapists who live outside of urban centres, and the effectiveness and acceptability of providing training virtually is not well-studied in mental health care. This study will improve psychotherapists' effectiveness at managing the therapeutic alliance and issues related to diversity, and will improve patient mental health outcomes thus promising to reduce the burden of mental illness.

SBIRT for Alcohol and Substance Use Disorders
Springfield, Massachusetts
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effectiveness of evidence-based Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) among adult patients who screen positive to one or more risky alcohol or substance use behaviors while seeking care at a sexual and reproductive health (SRH) clinic.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Does SBIRT impact patients' alcohol and substance use, SRH, mental health, physical health, quality of life, and wellbeing?
* Does SBIRT effectiveness differ by ethnicity, socioeconomic status, age, gender, and urbanicity?
* Does SBIRT effectiveness differ by delivery mode (in-person vs. telemedicine)?
Participants will receive in-person and telemedicine SBIRT, or usual care. Participants will complete surveys at interviews at baseline, 30 days, and 3 months.
Researchers will compare patients who received SBIRT to patients who receive usual care to see if patients who receive the SBIRT intervention have a greater reduction in negative outcomes as compared to those who receive usual care. In this setting, usual care consists of basic quantity and frequency questions asked inconsistently as part of the admission process and varying by provider, with no standardized approach to screening, treatment, follow-up, or referral.

Dance + Blood Flow Restriction for Balance Disorders
Montreal, Quebec
Falls are one of the leading causes of hospitalization and mortality among older adults (aged 65+) in Canada. Falls result from postural instability following age-related declines in muscle strength which begin in the 5th decade of life. Older women have higher rates of injury from falls due to greater deterioration of bone mass density and lower levels of physical activity when compared to men. Participation in physical activity and exercise has been shown to slow these age-related declines in postural stability by improving muscle function as well as proprioceptive and sensory systems, however the majority of older women are inactive. Dance has been used to inspire physical activity uptake among older women, and is particularly good for balance due to its both sensory and motor aspects that focus on precise execution of movement. Dance interventions have been found to improve postural stability and balance confidence.
Post-pandemic, online dance classes have provided greater accessibility to exercise interventions aimed at promoting balance. These help reach women facing transportation barriers, who have a fear of exercising with others, women with time-consuming caregiver roles at home etc. While beneficial, the intensity of online classes must be lower to ensure safety, thereby limiting physiological stimulus for adaptations. As typically higher intensity exercise is needed to promote muscle strength there may not be adequate stimulus for adaptations. Furthermore, there is little evidence of strength gains even from in-person dance classes. Blood flow restriction may offer an easy and cost-effective way to mimic higher intensity exercise and boost training benefits. Blood flow restriction has been found to boost strength during low-intensity resistance training, but there is little information on adaptations after balance training or potential transfer to reduce the risk of falls.
This 12-week online exercise intervention investigates whether blood flow restriction during dance classes can augment strength, dynamic balance and postural stability of older women aged 65 years and above. Two groups of older women will participate in twice weekly 75 minute ballet and modern-dance classes over Zoom. One group will be randomized to wear 5 centimeter elasticised blood flow restriction bands on their proximal thighs during the classes. Bands will be tightened to a 7/10 of perceived tightness.
Postural stability will be assessed using 9, 30-second trials of quiet standing on a force platform in conditions of eyes-open, eyes-closed and on a foam block - trials will be staggered to reduce fatigue effects. Trials will also be video recorded for kinematic analysis of shoulder and hip displacement using Kinovea.
Dynamic balance will be assessed using the Star Excursion Balance Test. Participants will be asked to stand on one foot in the middle of the star and reach their other leg as far as they can above the line. The distance the participant reaches in each direction will be recorded and normalized by limb length.
Strength will be assessed using the 30-second Sit-to-Stand test and Calf-Raise Senior test. Both tests involve participants doing the maximum number of repetitions possible within a 30-second time frame.
Finally scales of fears of falling and overall perceptions of health will be collected.
It is expected that this study will have great practical implications as the accessibility of this program can provide opportunities to older adults from various remote locations to increase their levels of physical activity in a safe manner. The affordability may also aid in adoption by community health and recreation centers as an easy-to-implement program that helps to reduce the risk of falls of older women, thereby promoting independence and quality of life.

Family Participation for Intensive Care Engagement
Montreal, Quebec
Family inclusion in adult intensive care unit (ICU) rounds is recommended by critical care professional societies, yet widespread uptake of this practice is limited. A key barrier cited by ICU clinicians is insufficient evidence to support this practice. There is a need for robust evidence to support family participation in adult ICU rounds and influence change to routine clinical care. The primary purpose of this study is to assess whether family participation in adult ICU rounds improves family engagement in care. The secondary objectives are to assess family satisfaction, and anxiety and depression, to explore user experiences of family participation in ICU rounds, and to evaluate strategies to improve family member recruitment and retention rates. This is a stepped-wedge cluster randomized trial (n=194) at 6 Canadian ICUs. The stepped wedge cluster randomized trial is a pragmatic study design that overcomes methodological limitations in evaluating a healthcare service delivery intervention. In the stepped-wedge cluster design, there is random and sequential crossover of clusters from control (phase 1) to intervention (phase 2) until all clusters are exposed. The stepped-wedge design also allows each site to function as its own control. The stepped-wedge design is more powerful than a parallel design when substantial cluster level effects are present.

Virtual Care Optimization for COPD Management
Bedford, Massachusetts
VA is a leader in virtual care (VC), including the patient portal, mobile apps, and telehealth programs. VC has great utility for managing chronic conditions like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, adoption of many VC services has been slow. Lack of awareness about these services is one of the most prominent patient- and healthcare team-facing barriers to adopting VC. This study will develop, refine, and pilot a stakeholder-informed multicomponent implementation strategy to support adoption of VC, referred to as VC-OPTIONS (Virtual Care for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Adoption Support). This feasibility trial will pilot the VC-OPTIONS implementation strategy to assess feasibility and acceptability and gather preliminary effectiveness data to inform a larger hybrid effectiveness-implementation trial. The core component of VC-OPTIONS will be the provision of information via VA's Annie texting program to empower patients with knowledge about the array of VC services and how they can be used to support COPD management. It is hypothesized that this strategy will be acceptable and feasible. This work will improve patient and team awareness of and communication about VC services, and support patient access to VC services for COPD management.

Mobile Tech & Peer Health Coaching for Pregnant Black Teens
Jackson, Mississippi
The proposed multicomponent digital health intervention has the potential to significantly impact the trajectory of maternal health in a rural, pregnant, Black adolescent population with the highest risks for cardiometabolic diseases worldwide. The proposed implementation strategy leverages mobile technologies which are ubiquitous across the socioeconomic gradient and proposes to train young adult WIC moms to deliver peer health coaching in a telehealth setting to address social barriers and support behavior change in pregnant, Black adolescent WIC clients in the Mississippi Delta - a rural region where the population is more than two-thirds percent Black and the teen birth rate is the highest in the United States. This is a scalable and sustainable approach to enhance WIC services and improve WIC's impact on population health and cardiometabolic health disparities in Black women.

The CONNECT Program for Social Isolation
Winnipeg, Manitoba
Older adults in Canada are experiencing increasing levels of social isolation, loneliness, and mental health challenges, including anxiety and depression - trends that have worsened during and following the COVID-19 pandemic. Research consistently shows that loneliness and social isolation are associated with poorer mental and physical health outcomes, increased risk of dementia, and increased mortality. At the same time, social connection has a strong protective impact on health and well-being. Community-based programs that promote both social engagement and psychological support are urgently needed, particularly since older adults are less likely to access formal mental health services.
Approximately 3-11% of older adults meet diagnostic criteria for mood or anxiety disorders each year, with even more experiencing elevated symptoms that greatly influence quality of life. Subsyndromal depression in late life is estimated to occur two to three times more often than major depressive disorder. Despite these needs, up to 70% of older adults with anxiety or mood disorders do not access psychological services, often due to low mental health literacy or practical barriers to care. At the same time, participation in community activities is associated with improved emotional well-being, greater social support, and lower rates of depression and anxiety.
To bridge this need for support, our team developed and pilot-tested The CONNECT Program - a group-based mental health intervention for adults 55 years and older, delivered via telephone or virtually. The CONNECT Program is grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), self-compassion, and theories of successful aging, and aims to improve psychological flexibility; reduce loneliness, social isolation, and co-occurring symptoms of depression and anxiety. A Manitoba pilot study (N = 34) demonstrated promising outcomes in terms of feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness with the telephone-based group intervention.
The current trial will evaluate the implementation and effectiveness of The CONNECT Program in four Canadian provinces (British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Saskatchewan), using an implementation-effectiveness hybrid design and a crossover randomized controlled trial. This study compares The CONNECT Program, delivered via telephone or virtually, to routine community programming (i.e., community participation as usual), which may occur in telephone, virtual, or in-person formats. The primary outcome is psychological flexibility; secondary outcomes include loneliness, social isolation, anxiety, depression, emotional support, mental health literacy. Implementation outcomes will be evaluated following the Proctor et al. framework.
This trial will contribute evidence on the mental health needs of adults 55+ and the value of low-barrier, community-based programs delivered remotely. Findings will guide further national and international implementation of The CONNECT Program and similar initiatives aimed at addressing the challenges of loneliness, social isolation, and mental health problems in late life.

Telerehabilitation for Lung Cancer
Aurora, Colorado
Lung cancer is the second-most commonly diagnosed cancer among U.S. Veterans. Substantial advances have been made in early detection through screening and treatment. The longevity of Veterans following lung cancer diagnosis and treatment has increased. Following treatment however, many Veterans experience increased symptom burden, particularly in shortness of breath, fatigue, and fear/anxiety about lung cancer, and impairments in physical and psychosocial functioning. Rehabilitation services are needed to address these survivorship challenges. This study will evaluate multi-targeted telerehabilitation with Veterans following lung cancer treatment, with goals to reduce symptom burden, improve physical and psychosocial function, and enhance health-related quality of life. This research will also develop the career of a physician researcher to acquire expertise in rehabilitation for many Veteran survivors of lung and other cancers.

TelePrEP for HIV Prevention
Aurora, Colorado
Youth represent the largest proportion of new HIV infections in Colorado, reflective of their inadequate access and uptake of pre-exposure prophylaxis(PrEP)for HIV prevention. Colorado's 2019 HIV/AIDS Prevention Program state-wide review of PrEP barriers showed PrEP eligible individuals do not access PrEP services due to lack of interest, not wanting referral to a navigator, and low estimation of HIV risk. The overall goal is to provide youth at higher risk for HIV with an effective youth informed telemedicine delivery of PrEP (TelePrEP) that addresses PrEP barriers and contributes to ending the HIV epidemic in Colorado. The primary objective will be proportion of youth retained on PrEP 12 months after initiation. The hypotheses are that a TelePrEP model for youth will be acceptable and feasible and will result in successful initiation, persistence and retention on oral PrEP.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do Telemedicine 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 Telemedicine 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 Telemedicine 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 Telemedicine 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 Telemedicine 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 Telemedicine clinical trials?
Most recently, we added Telemedicine for Substance Use Disorders and HIV, Telemedicine Management for High Blood Pressure and Personalized Information for Health Care Delivery to the Power online platform.
