NCT04983680
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is an important cause of cardiac events, primarily affecting young healthy women with no cardiovascular risk factors. The 10-year recurrence rate is 30%, but SCAD recurrence cannot be predicted. Approximately half of SCAD survivors struggle with significant anxiety and fear of recurrence (FOR), which contributes to poor sleep and physical inactivity and, thereby, increased risk of recurrence. Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) is an 8-week group intervention with evidence to improve FOR and health behaviors (sleep, physical activity), through psychological mechanisms that directly target key FOR processes (interoceptive bias, intolerance of uncertainty). I adapted MBCT to target FOR, sleep, and physical activity in cardiac event survivors via group videoconferencing delivery (UpBeat-MBCT), however this intervention has not yet been targeted to SCAD survivors. I propose an open pilot trial to test the feasibility, acceptability, and changes in psychological and behavioral health variables in SCAD survivors participating in UpBeat-MBCT (N=16). Participants will be recruited from the MGH SCAD Program and asked to complete self-report surveys and actigraphy before and after the intervention. The primary outcomes are feasibility and acceptability of the intervention and research procedures. Exploratory outcomes are changes in psychological and behavioral variables and their inter-correlations. This project would be the first and only behavioral intervention for SCAD survivors and would provide preliminary data for an NIH Stage II efficacy trial to develop an accessible and efficacious intervention for a vulnerable group of SCAD survivors, with generalizability to survivors of other cardiac events.
NCT06047210

NCT05543265
Chronic health conditions affect most older adults. Preventative medicine and risk management strategies, especially when applied earlier in life, are essential to altering the trajectory of a disease and ultimately improving health outcomes. Primary care providers (PCP) often provide most of these services, though younger adults are the least likely to receive primary care. This project leverages a period of high engagement and health activation during an individual's life (pregnancy) to nudge her toward use of primary care after the pregnancy episode. This randomized controlled trial will test the hypothesis that a behavioral science-informed intervention, incorporating defaults and salience, can increase the rates of PCP follow-up within 4 months following a delivery for individual with hypertension, diabetes, obesity. If successful, this intervention could serve as a scalable solution to increase primary care use and preventative health services in a population that currently has low rates of engagement and utilization of these services.

NCT02498925
The prevalence of major depressive disorder (MDD) is relatively low in childhood (i.e., 1-3%), but increases substantially during adolescence. By the age of 18, approximately 15% of adolescents will have experienced at least one episode of MDD. A growing body of research implicates abnormalities in reward circuitry as playing a critical role in the development and maintenance of depressive symptoms in adolescents. Importantly, these reward-circuitry abnormalities have been linked to anhedonia (i.e., decreased pleasure or blunted reactivity to rewarding stimuli). Behavioral Activation (BA) represents a promising - and relatively simple to deliver - nonpharmacologic intervention for adolescent depression, which has been shown to be at least as effective as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with regards to symptom reduction and lowering the risk of relapse in adult samples. More recently, promising data have emerged from the application of BA to depressed adolescents. BA can be conceptualized as a treatment directly targeting anhedonia. More specifically, BA targets anhedonia through behavioral change strategies aimed at gradually increasing patients' exposure to and engagement with rewarding stimuli and positively reinforcing experiences. Given this treatment focus, BA may be particularly beneficial for adolescents struggling with relatively elevated levels of anhedonic symptoms. Accordingly, the present study will examine the role of anhedonia and reward functioning in predicting treatment response in BA. In addition, analyses will be conducted examining the reward-related neural and behavioral mechanisms underlying anhedonic symptom improvement in BA.

NCT01174615
The collection of Blood and/or Bone Marrow from patients with blood disorders, blood cell malignancies and associated conditions will serve as a convenient and comprehensive source of tissue to give us further information about the differences between normal blood cells and blood cells of affected individuals. This will be an invaluable asset for understanding the biology of blood disorders. The collected samples will be used by investigators for studies including immunology, molecular biology and genetics to name a few.

NCT02435212
This was a randomized, open-label, multicenter, two arm, phase II study to evaluate treatment compliance and change in serum ferritin of a deferasirox granule formulation and a deferasirox dispersible tablet (DT) formulation in children and adolescents aged ≥ 2 and \< 18 years at enrolment with any transfusion-dependent anemia requiring chelation therapy due to iron overload, to demonstrate the effect of improved compliance on iron burden. Randomization was stratified by age groups (2 to \<10 years, 10 to \<18 years) and prior iron chelation therapy (Yes/ No). There were two study phases which include a 1 year core phase where participants were randomized to a 48 week treatment period to either Deferasirox DT or granules, and an optional extension phase where all participants received the granules up to 5 years. Participants who demonstrated benefit to granules or DT in the core phase, and/or expressed the wish to continue in the optional extension phase on granules, were offered this possibility until there was local access to the new formulation (granules or film-coated tablet (FCT)) or up to 5 years, whichever occurred first.

NCT03995134
The purpose of this university study is to evaluate the use of an advanced dental sedation technique involving two syringe-type pumps called Target Controlled Infusion (TCI) pumps. Two oral surgeons and a general dentist from New Zealand are assisting a Canadian research team as they study this intravenous sedation technique and its use in dental offices. This sedation technique is broadly used in other parts of the world and is known to reduce anxiety and discomfort during dental or medical procedures. The New Zealand Dental Council and Health Canada have approved the drugs involved and the TCI pumps. In this study, one pump will be used to administer a sedative drug called propofol and the other to administer a pain-relief analgesic drug called remifentanil. The pumps and drugs are licensed in New Zealand and Canada and are not experimental. These pumps are operated by special software modules that are specific to each drug, and a computer within the pump controls the pump operation allowing a stable and constant level of drug in the blood stream. Your oral surgeon or dentist will titrate or add small amounts of drug till the you are quite relaxed before proceeding with your dental treatment. The dentist has overall control of the pump and the amount of drug given and can change the amount if it is too little or too much for you, or completely stop the pump if necessary for safety.. The TCI sedation, including your dental treatment will be conducted by two oral surgeons and a general dentist in their respective New Zealand dental offices. Each clinician is well trained and experienced with this form of sedation.
