An Open-Trial of Web-Prolonged Exposure (Web-PE) Among Active-Duty Military
NCT03337750 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
It is urgent to make evidence-based treatments (EBTs) for military personnel readily accessible in order to meet the growing demand for effective and efficient treatment for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in a timely manner. Effective EBTs for PTSD are available, but barriers to accessing care can deter military personnel from receiving treatment. Web-treatments represent an innovative way to overcome these barriers. The efficacy of previously developed web-treatments for PTSD appear promising, however, they are not based on treatment protocols with strong empirical support for their efficacy. No study to date has examined web-treatment of PTSD using a well-established treatment program. The purpose of this open trial is to examine the efficacy of 10 sessions of a web-version of Prolonged Exposure (PE), "Web-PE," delivered over 8-weeks in 40 active-duty military personnel and veterans with PTSD who deployed post 9-11. Up to 60 individuals will be consented to obtain data from 40 for analysis. Participants will be assessed at pre-treatment and 1- and 3-months after treatment completion.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT03337750
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT03337750 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 34 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of Pennsylvania, which has 1,457 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 2 conditions, with Posttraumatic Stress Disorder appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Web-PE Therapy 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: NCT03337750 reports 2 study locations spanning 2 distinct geographic areas — top geographies include Pennsylvania, Texas. 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.
