Thinking Healthy Program-Technology Assisted (THP-TA)

Perinatal DepressionDepression1 more

Background The Thinking Healthy Program (THP) is an evidence based task-shifted low intensity psychosocial intervention, recommended by the World Health Organization for the treatment of perinatal depression. The investigators developed a technology-assisted version of Thinking Healthy Program (THP-TA) which allows peers to deliver the THP, while ensuring minimal resources for training of delivery agents and ensuring adequate fidelity. Method This is a non-inferiority, pragmatic cluster randomized controlled trial designed to test the primary hypothesis that technology assisted delivery of THP is not worse than THP intervention delivered by community health workers, in increasing perinatal depression remission rates at 3 months postnatal. In addition, this study will also test the effectiveness of the THP-TA in improving recovery from perinatal depression at 6 months postpartum, quality of life and social support. This study also aims to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of the THP-TA.

Assess Safety and Efficacy of Sovateltide in Hypoxic-ischemic Encephalopathy

Hypoxic-Ischemic EncephalopathyNeonatal Asphyxia1 more

Sovateltide (PMZ-1620; IRL-1620) is targeted to be used as a "Treatment for hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy in neonates," which is a life-threatening condition. Sovateltide augments neuronal progenitor cell differentiation and better mitochondrial morphology and biogenesis to activate a regenerative response in the central nervous system. The only treatment for HIE is therapeutic hypothermia with limited success, and studies indicate that sovateltide may be beneficial in these patients.

Finding Solutions to Thrive After Birth Asphyxia in Africa

Birth Asphyxia

Neonatal encephalopathy (NE) is the third leading cause of under 5-year mortality and contributes substantially to long-term neurological morbidity worldwide. In low-income countries (LICs), families often lack the resources to care for affected children. For those with disabilities, stigma is high, and social and emotional impacts are substantial. Improving our understanding of NE in LICs is crucial if intervention strategies are developed. Providing access to an affordable and easy-to-administer treatment after birth may improve survival, early brain development and later outcome, maximizing developmental potential. The primary objective of this study is to investigate the feasibility, safety and tolerability of administering sildenafil as a neuroprotective/neurorestorative strategy to improve early brain development in a cohort of children with NE in Uganda.

Scaling Up Maternal Mental Healthcare by Increasing Access to Treatment (SUMMIT)

Perinatal Depression

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.

Implementation of Prevention and Intervention of Maternal Perinatal Depression to Strengthen Maternal...

Perinatal Depression

IMPRINT strengthens maternal and child health by screening, treating and preventing maternal perinatal depression, the most common complication of pregnancy and the child's first 1000 days. It is associated with poor pregnancy outcome and perinatal mortality and has adverse consequences on physical and mental development of the child. Yet, only 7-28% of women with perinatal depression worldwide receive appropriate evidence-based care. This is astounding given that the need of investing on mental health is widely recognized and low-intensity interventions not requiring costly mental health professionals have been shown to be effective. IMPRINT improves the effectiveness, reliability, safety, appropriateness, equity and efficiency of routine health care provided for the mother and the child during the child's first 1000 days of life. The investigators 1) have adapted into the gender-, country-, and cultural-context an existing evidence-based, low-intensity pregnancy intervention targeting maternal perinatal depression (online CBT-based therapy) (iloodottaa.fi); 2) test in cluster-randomised trial the short- and long-term efficacy of the intervention in women who report clinically relevant, subthreshold or more severe symptoms in an early pregnancy depression screen; 3) study biological, psychological and social determinants of depressive symptom severity, comorbidities and response to interventions. The study recruits women from 58 antenetal clinics in the cities of Helsinki, Vantaa, Keski-Uusimaa, Kuopio and Lohja and aims at recruiting 500 women to the intervention and 500 women to the control arms.

Comparative Outcomes Related to Delivery-room Cord Milking In Low-resourced Kountries

Hypoxic-Ischemic EncephalopathyBirth Asphyxia

The investigators will conduct a study on non-vigorous infants at birth to determine if umbilical cord milking (UCM) results in lower rate of moderate to severe hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) or death than early clamping and for infants who are non-vigorous at birth and need immediate resuscitation.

Perinatal Depression and Adverse Childhood Experiences: Prevention Trial

Perinatal Depression

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the impact of ROSE in individuals with adverse childhood experiences. The main question it aims to answer is, compared to enhanced treatment as usual, does the delivery of ROSE within a collaborative care model improve depressive symptom trajectories and prevent the development of perinatal depression. Participants will be randomized to either enhanced treatment as usual or the ROSE intervention, delivered by a care manager within a perinatal collaborative care program. They will complete self-reported surveys of their depression symptoms every 4 weeks to inform their symptom trajectories. They will also complete clinical interviews to establish any incident diagnoses of a major depressive episode.

Maternal Mental Health Access - MaMa

Postpartum DepressionPerinatal Depression

This hybrid effectiveness-implementation project will allow the team to evaluate and refine implementation in preparation for future multisite trials to ultimately move the Evidence-Based Intervention (EBI) to scale among diverse populations. The plan is to enroll 120 at-risk pregnant and postpartum women from rural, urban, and Latino populations. Using a randomized preference design to also evaluate patient and sociocultural factors in participation and symptom trajectory. Using the Implementation Research Logic Model, the team will evaluate the implementation feasibility and acceptability of a remote-access and on-demand MBCT PD prevention intervention that is integrated within maternal clinical care settings using an existing patient portal. Successful achievement of the study aims will result in a refined implementation protocol for future studies that are sufficiently powered to evaluate the effectiveness of an integrated Digital Mental Health Technology and to estimate the cost/benefit ratio

Sildenafil to Repair Brain Injury Secondary to Birth Asphyxia

Birth Asphyxia

The investigators will determine the maximum tolerable dose of sildenafil and establish the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile of sildenafil in human asphyxiated neonates treated with hypothermia. They will use a 3+3 design to escalate the sildenafil dose up to 6 mg/kg/day (3mg/kg/dose q12h) in asphyxiated neonates demonstrating brain injury despite hypothermia treatment and assess whether we observe any beneficial effects of sildenafil on their brain and cardiopulmonary hemodynamics, without causing serious adverse events
