This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.

Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study will use brain scans (MEG and MRI) to look at brain activity in 60 young people aged 14-24 who have either attempted suicide, have ongoing suicidal thoughts, or are healthy. The goal is to find brain patterns linked to suicide risk. High-risk participants will also receive a therapy called CAMS, and their brains will be scanned again to see if the therapy changes brain function. This research may help doctors better predict and treat suicidal behavior in youth.

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 help identify brain markers that predict suicide risk and show how CAMS therapy works in the brain, leading to better treatments for at-risk youth.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage observational study with only 60 participants. It may not find clear brain differences, and results may not apply to all youth. CAMS therapy is already used, but its brain effects are unknown.

Participants

About 60 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.
