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.

Smoking Cessation Strategies for Cancer
Lexington, Kentucky
Smoking cessation has been shown to improve the effectiveness and reduce the morbidity of tobacco-related cancer treatments. We will identify effective smoking cessation strategies for patients who are receiving treatment for tobacco-related cancer. In this trial, patients' preferences in smoking cessation therapy will be the principal determinant by providers in developing a three component regimen of pharmaceutical therapy, counseling, and nicotine replacement therapy. This study will identify this cohort's preferences for smoking cessation strategies. We will then examine the impact of utilizing patient preferences upon cessation efficacy by directly comparing cessation success in this study with our recently completed study of the same population using the same tobacco treatments which were randomly assigned.

Varenicline + NRT for Smoking Cessation in PLWHA
Chicago, Illinois
The advent of anti-retroviral therapy (ART) for people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) substantially improved life expectancy but has also led to the critical need to address modifiable risk factors associated with cancer and cardiovascular disease, such as tobacco smoking. HIV-infected smokers lose more life-years due to tobacco use than they do to their HIV infection.
There have been relatively few studies of tobacco use treatments for PLWHA and systematic reviews show that there are insufficient data to conclude that tobacco dependence interventions that are efficacious in the general population are efficacious for PLWHA. Further, many studies in this area have lacked randomization and a control group, infrequently used an intent-to-treat (ITT) approach and biological verification of tobacco abstinence, and lacked post-treatment follow-up.10 What investigators do know thus far is that behavioral interventions and the nicotine patch yield moderate effects on cessation; and 2 recent placebo-controlled trials - one in France and one by this lab - found that varenicline is safe and effective for treating tobacco use among PLWHA, but yield quit rates that are substantially lower than those reported in the general population. Thus, there is a critical need to rigorously test novel ways to optimize tobacco cessation treatment for smokers with HIV.

Healthbot Support for Medication Adherence
Toronto, Ontario
The goal of this feasibility study is to co-create and evaluate a theory informed, evidence-based, patient-centered healthbot aimed at helping people adhere to their varenicline regimen. The main research questions it aims to answer are:
1. What are the challenges to varenicline adherence and strategies to overcome such challenges from the perspective of service users and service providers?
2. What features of a healthbot would help improve adherence to varenicline?
3. Does a healthbot developed to improve varenicline adherence meet the implementation outcomes and increase medication adherence as well as smoking cessation? The study will be conducted using the Discover Design Build and Test framework.
* In the Discover phase, a literature review, 20 service user interviews, and 20 healthcare provider interviews will help inform the challenges to varenicline adherence, strategies to overcome them using the Capability, Opportunity, Motivation, and Behavior framework, and the ways in which a healthbot might help improve adherence.
* In the Design, Build and Test phase, 40 participants will interact with a preliminary healthbot using the Wizard of Oz method, then provide feedback about their experiences in a follow up interview; and team members, including clinicians and researchers, will beta test and validate a more refined healthbot.
In the last phase, a non-randomized single arm feasibility study, 40 participants will interact with the healthbot for 12 weeks and provide feedback about the acceptability, appropriateness, fidelity, adoption, and usability of the healthbot; and researchers will assess participants' medication adherence and smoking status.

Varenicline + Counseling for Smoking Addiction
Pickens, South Carolina
The purpose of this study is to better understand tobacco outcomes using a commonly prescribed stop smoking medication (varenicline) and financial incentives for adults who also use cannabis. Varenicline is not FDA approved for e-cigarette cessation, but is FDA approved for cigarette cessation. Investigators are also interested in how cannabis/marijuana and tobacco interact during a tobacco quit attempt. All participants will receive e-cigarette cessation treatment for 12 weeks. To qualify, participants must be between the ages of 18-40 and use both e-cigarettes and cannabis. Participants do not need to be interested in quitting cannabis to qualify. This study is being conducted at three sites: the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston, SC, Behavioral Health Services in Pickens, SC, and MUSC Lancaster in Lancaster, SC.

Enhanced Support vs Standard Advice for Smoking Cessation in Veterans
Madison, Wisconsin
This project will generate knowledge about the effectiveness of Enhanced Chronic Care, an intervention designed to enhance treatment use and smoking abstinence in Veterans who are initially unwilling to quit. Enhanced Chronic Care provides ongoing motivational interventions and interpersonal support designed to promote readiness to quit smoking. Enhanced Chronic Care will be compared with Standard Care (brief advice to quit once per year) on criteria that are of great clinical and public health importance: use of cessation treatment and smoking abstinence. It is expected that Enhanced Chronic Care will increase treatment use and smoking abstinence relative to Standard Care.

180 young adult vapers who are not current smokers will participate in a baseline functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) experiment, prospectively linked to a 1-year randomized controlled trial. Baseline fMRI tasks will probe critical neurocognitive markers with high potential to account for individual differences in nicotine use prognosis and responsiveness to anti-vaping public service announcements (PSAs). Participants will be assigned randomly to a survey-only control condition, or one of two intervention orders, Regular PSA then Flavor PSA, and Flavor PSA then Regular PSA (n=60 each) in a 1-year counterbalanced crossover design. Every week intervention groups will receive anti-vaping PSAs either do not specifically address harms associated with vaping flavors (regular PSAs) or PSAs with a theme focusing on the harms of flavored vape products (flavor PSAs). Participants of the intervention groups will switch PSA exposure condition after 6 months. Their evaluations of the PSAs will be assessed with brief weekly online surveys. The links to the weekly online surveys will be sent via e-mail and text which allow them to access the surveys using any device with an internet browser. During the survey, the PSA of that week will first be displayed to PSA groups (n=120), followed by a query to provide message evaluation. Afterward, the survey questions will also assess their e-cigarette, cigarette, other tobacco use, and nicotine dependence, during the past week. The control group (n=60) will complete the surveys without viewing PSAs. In-person assessments at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months will biochemically confirm nicotine exposure.

Tobacco Cessation Programs for Quitting Smoking
Brooklyn, New York
At the Fire Department of the City of New York (FDNY) World Trade Center Health Program, 36% of participants in the low dose computed tomography (LDCT) lung cancer screening program are current smokers, despite referral to the free FDNY Tobacco Cessation Program (Standard Care). Investigators propose testing an Enhanced Care program which includes opt-out enrollment; tobacco cessation counseling will be individually tailored to spirometry/LDCT results and treatment with varenicline starting 4 weeks prior to their target quit date. This randomized trial will compare enrollment and cessation outcomes in Standard Care vs. Enhanced Care groups of challenging-to-treat, high-risk smokers.

Harm Reduction for Smoking in People With HIV
Bronx, New York
Cigarette smoking is now the leading killer of people with HIV (PWH) in the US, and most cessation strategies tried to date have failed to increase long-term quit rates. An "all or none" approach to smoking cessation in PWH offers little benefit to the large majority of PWH who are unable or unwilling to quit. In this proposal we argue that a harm reduction approach (i.e. cut down, get screened for lung cancer, control your blood pressure and cholesterol) has the potential to yield significant benefits in terms of the private and public health of PWH in the US.

Sleep Management for Nicotine Addiction
Birmingham, Alabama
The number one preventable cause of death in the world is tobacco use. Cigarette smoking in particular, costs an estimated $300 billion due to expenses related to medical care and lost productivity. Despite similar smoking prevalence rates, blacks suffer disproportionately from smoking-related harms compared to whites.Sleep disparities such as shortened sleep duration, shorter circadian periodicity, earlier chronotype, and increased variability of sleep timing have been reported more frequently in blacks compared to whites. Given that poor sleep quality predicts relapse from smoking cessation programs, particularly among socioeconomically disadvantaged adults, sleep deficiencies and irregular timing of sleep may impact smoking craving and withdrawal symptoms over the course of the 24-hour day. Surprisingly, few studies have examined these temporal patterns of smoking and craving, and none with regard to sleep disruption, chronotype or racial disparities. A better understanding of these factors may explain heterogeneity within the smoking population, especially in minorities. Thus, the purpose of this proposal is to test the central hypothesis that the impact of chronotype and impaired sleep on cigarette usage as well as smoking dependence, urge/craving, and withdrawal depends on race.

Socio-Economic Support for HIV and Hepatitis C
Ottawa, Ontario
Addictions do not occur in isolation. Tackling addictions requires addressing social determinants such as isolation, homelessness, marginalization, and unemployment. Research on individuals living with or at risk for HIV/AIDS highlights that unemployment correlates with higher levels of depression, anxiety, and social isolation compared to employment. In Ottawa, the PROMPT project engaged homeless or at-risk populations, including people who use drugs and those living with or at risk for HIV/AIDS or Hepatitis C using the Bridge ModelTM, a pragmatic community-based participatory action research approach operationalized through earlier projects at the Bridge Engagement Center in Ottawa, Canada. The PROMPT project demonstrated that implementing multi-component, complex interventions is both feasible and effective, achieving broader socio-economic outcomes beyond reduction and quitting tobacco and poly-substance use. However, PROMPT participants identified a lack of social and recovery capital -family and social connections, opportunities for volunteering and jobs- as a major barrier to recovery. To address this, we conducted a six-month feasibility pilot study with 20 PROMPT participants. By its conclusion, 15 participants were engaged in small paid or volunteer roles, including educational opportunities, fostering both social integration and recovery. Insights from this pilot study informed the design of a larger community-based multi-site pragmatic randomized trial (RCT) to further evaluate the effectiveness of the Bridge ModelTM, the Healthy People Initiative (HPI) project. The Healthy People Initiative (HPI) is a community-based, participatory, pragmatic parallel-arm multi-site with a cross-over design, recruiting 250 participants (16+) at risk of homelessness or low socioeconomic status in Ottawa and Toronto, Canada.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do 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 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 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 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 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 clinical trials?
Most recently, we added Therapy and Varenicline for Tobacco Use, Varenicline for Parkinson's Disease and Varenicline + Counseling for Smoking Addiction to the Power online platform.
