Ground-breaking Insights on Suicide Risk Detection with eC-SSRS in Clinical Trials


Drug development can carry the risk of treatment-emergent depression and suicidal ideation for trial participants, and lack of suicide risk detection prior to treatment has led to drugs receiving “black-box warnings” by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Extensive further testing is then required to demonstrate the safety of the drugs before the warnings can be removed, leading to delays in patient treatment during the testing period. Regularly administering the C-SSRS/eC-SSRS in clinical trials can help patients remain safe and prevent mislabeling drugs that do not carry these serious risks. When used at regular intervals, the C-SSRS/eC-SSRS can also be viewed in conjunction with treatment status and patient quality of life to assess levels of suicide risk in therapeutic areas traditionally hard to assess, such as oncology.

Join the featured speakers to explore the benefits of eC-SSRS/C-SSRS in protecting patients. Don’t miss this deep dive into suicide risk detection in oncology and beyond.

Join Libby Thomas, MS, Scientific Advisor, eCOA Science & Consulting, Clario; Dr. Kelly Posner, PhD, Professor of Psychiatry, Columbia University; and Dr. John Greist, MD, Chairman of the Board, Meret Solutions; Emeritus Professor of Psychiatry, Univ. Of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, for the live webinar on Tuesday, September 5, 2023, at 11am EDT (4pm BST/UK).

Benchmark Senior Living at Split Rock Receives Grant from American Parkinson Disease Association Connecticut Chapter


The program is led by Theresa Waldron, director of resident lifestyle at Split Rock, and guest instructor Sue Hyde of Southbury, a National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) certified personal trainer and wellness coach. Each week, participants benefit from a multi-faceted class addressing the physical symptoms of Parkinson’s disease as well as generalized support, education and stress-reduction.

“What’s unique about this class is that, not only are we working almost every muscle in our body, including our vocal cords, but participants leave with less stress and armed with more information,” said Waldron, a certified trainer for trainers for the Arthritis Foundation and certified instructor for Tai Chi for arthritis. “We are thrilled that APDA has recognized the uniqueness of this program with this grant and look forward to being able to serve more people with Parkinson’s.”

“Theresa provides support and quality exercise programs to those with Parkinson’s at Benchmark and the greater community, it really is inspiring to see,” said Holly Seymour, Program Director for the APDA CT Chapter. “The class is dynamic in that it utilizes components of both ballet and boxing to improve balance, while providing a great social environment for participants to connect with their peers with Parkinson’s disease. Theresa creates a fun class where everyone feels valued and encouraged to do their best in exercising, which is neuroprotective and helps with symptom management and progression.”

Grant funds will cover half of the cost of the program and Split Rock will subsidize the other half.

The class occurs weekly on Tuesdays at 10:30 AM at Benchmark Senior Living at Split Rock, which is located at 708 Bridgeport Avenue in Shelton.

Registration is encouraged as space is limited to 15 participants. To register, email [email protected] or call 203.929.1111.
