Engaging Adolescents in Decisions About Return of Genomic Research Results
NCT04481061 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Recent recommendations to return children's results for adult-onset conditions to parents anytime whole exome or genome sequencing is performed, as well as growing expectations to return research results to participants on a large-scale basis, mean adolescents will increasingly be engaged in assenting (\<age 18) and consenting (\>age 18) to return of genomic research results. There is an urgent need to understand adolescents' informational preferences and to create ethically informed, scalable processes that empower adolescents from diverse backgrounds to participate in the decision-making process about learning genomic results. This research will provide important insights into adolescents' choices, as well as the ethical, legal and societal implications of engaging adolescents in making choices about learning genomic results in genomic research and community-based research settings.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT04481061
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT04481061 describes a study currently listed as active not recruiting. 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 787 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Children's Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati, which has 715 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 6 conditions, with Adolescent appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Electronic Decision Tool 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: NCT04481061 reports 2 study locations spanning 2 distinct geographic areas — top geographies include Minnesota, Ohio. 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.
