NCT03329677 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The purpose of the study is to examine the impact of an 18-month psychotherapy treatment for borderline personality disorder. The investigators will examine changes in psychosocial and work functioning in patients with borderline personality disorder using an 18-month psychotherapeutic treatment. The investigators are recruiting female patients between the ages of 18-35 who meet DSM criteria for BPD. The investigators are excluding patients who meet the following criteria: * psychotic disorders * a current major depressive episode * bipolar I disorder * current substance dependence * antisocial personality disorder. * unable to undergo 18-months of twice weekly psychotherapy in NYC (due to the COVID19 pandemic in person meetings are suspended (see detailed description) but will be restated once this is considered safe again) Participants in the study will receive 18-months of twice weekly psychotherapy, free of charge, as well as compensation for follow-up assessments. They may be currently taking psychiatric medication. Participants will be assessed using semi-structured diagnostic interviews, self-report instruments, and computerized tasks in an initial assessment session lasting about 6-8 hours. They will also be assessed using computerized tasks. Follow-up assessments will occur throughout the treatment as well as after the treatment, lasting about 1-4 hours. The investigators will also be collecting information on their treatment history and psychiatric medication as part of the study.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT03329677
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT03329677 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 61 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Weill Medical College of Cornell University, which has 679 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Borderline Personality Disorder appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Transference-focused Psychotherapy (TFP) is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT03329677 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include New York. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
