Unmute's CARE Framework: A Novel Approach to Strengthen the Therapeutic Alliance and Reduce Treatment Disparities

NCT06625502 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

Study Summary

Aim 1: Expand and adapt the CARE framework to train providers to cultivate a strong early alliance with patients who do not share their background (e.g., mismatched dyads). Aim 2: Establish the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness of the adapted CARE framework in mismatched dyads involving 8 providers and 40 patients receiving 15 sessions of teletherapy. The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a new CARE intervention works to improve the cultural fit of psychotherapy for diverse populations, even when the therapist and patient do not share the same cultural background. We will refine and test the intervention with a sample of therapists working with Asian American participants receiving short-term individual psychotherapy delivered online. The main questions the study aims to answer are: * Does the CARE framework, adapted for and delivered by therapists specifically trained to work with patients who do not share their background (e.g., mismatched dyads), improve treatment engagement and retention? * Is the CARE framework associated with a) the development of a positive therapeutic relationship between mismatched patient-therapist dyads and b) significant improvements in participants' presenting problems? Participants will: * Receive up to 15 weekly sessions of individual psychotherapy * Complete different online surveys after every session and on a monthly basis

What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT06625502

The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT06625502 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 40 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is New York University, which has 185 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.

The record links to 4 conditions, with Anxiety Symptoms appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Culturally-Affirming Racial Equity Framework 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: NCT06625502 reports 2 study locations spanning 2 distinct geographic areas — top geographies include Massachusetts, 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.
