About this study

Official title: Using an Electronic Health Record-based Intervention and Broad Education Reach Strategies to Improve Quality of Care for GERD and Gastroprotection for Patients on NSAIDs: a Randomized Controlled Trial

The purpose of the study is to examine the impact of augmented, high-quality physician-coordinated care executed via an electronic health record (EHR)-based intervention on quality of care for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and for gastroprotection for patients on chronic non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) at increased risk for upper GI tract ulcers and ulcer related complications.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Study groups in NCT00691171
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
1GERD: Patients with established diagnoses of GERD based on ICD-9 codes
2Atypical GERD: Patients without an established diagnosis of GERD with atypical symptoms that could be due to GERD (e.g., asthma)
3Chronic NSAID users: Patients using chronic NSAIDs who are at increased risk of GI complications (defined as previous diagnosis of peptic ulcer disease; age 75 or older; or concomitant use of corticosteroids, anticoagulants, or aspirin)

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Diagnoses of GERD

    Measured: After 12 months of intervention

  2. Prescriptions for gastroprotective medicines in at-risk, chronic NSAID users

    Measured: After 12 months of intervention

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Prescriptions for GERD medications

    Measured: After 12 months of intervention

  2. Change in GERD symptoms score

    Measured: After 12 months of intervention

  3. NSAID-related GI complications

    Measured: After 12 months of intervention

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of GERD, run by AstraZeneca.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Apr 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Diagnoses of GERD (time frame: After 12 months of intervention). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00691171, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 15 Apr 2015.
