NCT ID NCT07568054
First seen May 06, 2026 · Last updated Jun 21, 2026 · Updated 12 times
Summary
This study uses brain imaging to explore why some young people have suicidal thoughts or attempt suicide. Researchers will scan the brains of 60 participants aged 14-24, including those recently hospitalized after a suicide attempt, those with chronic suicidal thoughts, and healthy controls. High-risk participants will receive a specialized talk therapy called CAMS, and their brains will be scanned again to see if the therapy changes brain activity. The goal is to find biological markers that could help predict suicide risk and guide more effective treatments.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality (CAMS) therapy
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to better ways to predict suicide risk in young people and show how a specific therapy changes the brain to reduce suicidal thoughts.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage observational study with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It looks at brain changes, not whether the therapy prevents suicide long-term.
