NCT06829394
The goal of this pilot study is to evaluate the implementation and outcomes of the Arms Around You (AAY) program, a supportive housing initiative launched by the Philadelphia Department of Public Health (PDPH) in 2024. The program aims to address housing instability among people with HIV (PWH) using a Housing First model. The main questions it seeks to answer are: 1. How does AAY affect HIV-related outcomes, particularly viral suppression and antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence? 2. What are the program's effects on economic, psychological, and secondary health outcomes? 3. How feasible, acceptable, and scalable is the program for broader implementation? Participants will be assigned to immediate program access or a waitlist using a random lottery system, creating treatment and control groups, respectively. Surveys and health data will be collected at baseline and over 36 months to assess changes in outcomes such as viral suppression, housing security, mental health, and financial well-being. Qualitative interviews with participants and stakeholders will complement quantitative findings to explore mechanisms of change and guide program optimization.

Fecal Microbiota Transplant (FMT) in pediatric patients with recurrent C. Difficile with or without Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) The aims of this study are to determine the safety and efficacy of FMT treatment in pediatric patients with recurrent or moderate to severe C. Difficile without (through an observational study) and with (through a clinical trial) Inflammatory Bowel Disease and to determine the effect of FMT on the gut microbiota through the use of 454 pyrosequencing before and after transplantation in these patients.

Childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) is a pediatric motor speech disorder that impairs the planning of movements needed for intelligible speech. Children with CAS often show little or slow progress in standard speech therapy. This research is a Phase 1 study that tests initial efficacy and optimal parameters of a theoretically based integral stimulation treatment called ASSIST (Apraxia of Speech Systematic Integral Stimulation Treatment). In three small randomized group design studies, children (N=20 per study) receive 16 hours of individual ASSIST. The three studies systematically investigate treatment intensity (2 vs. 4 weeks) and two critical aspects of target selection: complexity (simple vs. complex target) and lexicality (words vs. nonwords). Each study also systematically examines the effect of treatment on functional outcome measures, including parent ratings of intelligibility and communicative participation, and objective intelligibility measures obtained from unfamiliar listeners.
