Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.

Summary

This study is observing 400 adults with OCD who are receiving exposure therapy. Researchers will use machine learning to analyze self-reports, behavior, and physiological data from therapy sessions. The goal is to identify which mechanisms lead to better outcomes, so therapy can be improved for those who don't fully recover.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
exposure therapy
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help personalize exposure therapy for OCD, making it more effective for more people.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not lead to immediate changes in care, and results depend on complex data analysis.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 400 people

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

Started

Oct 2024

Expected to finish

Apr 2029

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

18 to 65 years

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.
