About this study

Official title: Phase III Clinical Trial of the Effectiveness of Adherence Data and Motivational Interviewing to Improve Medication Adherence and Both Glycated Hemoglobin and Cholesterol Control

The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of two different interventions to improve adherence to diabetes medications among patients with diabetes and poor metabolic control.

Read the detailed description

Nonadherence to medications is common among patients with diabetes and contributes to suboptimal control of glycemic and lipid plasma levels. Adherence is not routinely measured in clinical practice because no valid, feasible methods have been readily available. The lack of medication adherence information contributes to clinician failure to identify and address patient nonadherence and to clinical inertia and poor health outcomes.

Existing electronic prescribing systems hold the potential to display medication adherence information. We propose a 3-arm randomized clinical trial to test the effectiveness of providing primary care physicians (PCPs) with both adherence measurements and an adherence clinic to improve adherence to diabetic and lipid-lowering drugs. This adherence clinic will consist of a pharmacist and nurse trained in motivational interviewing (Ml) techniques to improve adherence to medications.

Adherence indices will be generated by linking e-prescribing information with pharmacy data. The trial will be conducted among 1,436 patients with diabetes and poor blood glycemic and/or lipid control. Patients will be randomized to one of the following three study arms: 1) Usual care - PCPs will write prescriptions electronically but will not be provided patient adherence information or Ml support; 2) Intervention - PCPs will be provided adherence information and prompts electronically when using the electronic prescribing system; and 3) Intervention - PCPs will be provided adherence information and prompts electronically when using the electronic prescribing system plus physicians and patients will receive support from an adherence clinic.

Our intervention uses as theoretical behavioral framework elements of the Chronic Care Model, Self-Determination Theory, and the Health Belief Model. The study will use qualitative methods to guide intervention design and implementation and will include both process evaluation and treatment fidelity measures. The intervention will be tailored to patients' adherence and goal levels. The study will also evaluate the cost effectiveness of the intervention. Patients will be followed for 36 months. The introduction of sustainable medication adherence monitoring in clinical practice holds great potential to improve health outcomes among patients with diabetes.

What participants receive

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

  • Adherence informationBehavioural

    Physicians, of the patients randomized to this arm, will have medication adherence information displayed when using the electronic prescribing system.

  • Adherence information plus motivational interviewingBehavioural

    Physicians, of the patients randomized to this arm, will have medication adherence information displayed when using the electronic prescribing system. Moreover, patients randomized to this arm will be recruited into a clinic run by pharmacists and nurses with delegated prescription power. The clinic personnel will use motivational interviewing techniques with patients to improve adherence to medications and/or to intensify medical treatment if adherence is optimal.

What is being measured

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

  1. Glycated Hemoglobin Levels

    Measured: at 18 months post randomization

  2. LDL-cholesterol Levels

    Measured: at 18 months post randomization

Secondary outcomes (12)
  1. Adherence to Oral Anti-diabetic Medications

    Adherence is the estimated proportion of the prescribed dose taken over a 3-month period. Therefore, each estimate of medication adherence represented a 3-month window of use prior to and including the endpoint time (e.g., the adherence estimate at "6 months post randomization" represented use beginning at 3 months post-randomization and ending at 6 months post-randomization). Pharmacy claims data (i.e., days supply and refill frequency) were used to estimate adherence at each endpoint date.

    Measured: at 6 months post randomization

  2. Adherence to Lipid-lowering Drugs

    Adherence is the estimated proportion of the prescribed dose taken over a 3-month period. Therefore, each estimate of medication adherence represented a 3-month window of use prior to and including the endpoint time (e.g., the adherence estimate at "6 months post randomization" represented use beginning at 3 months post-randomization and ending at 6 months post-randomization). Pharmacy claims data (i.e., days supply and refill frequency) were used to estimate adherence at each endpoint date.

    Measured: at 6 months post randomization

  3. Cardiovascular Morbidity and Mortality (Exploratory)

    Measured: at 24 months post randomization

  4. Glycated Hemoglobin Levels

    Measured: at 6 months post randomization

  5. LDL Cholesterol Levels

    Measured: at 6 months post randomization

  6. Glycated Hemoglobin Levels

    Measured: at 12 months post randomization

  7. LDL Cholesterol Levels

    Measured: at 12 months post randomization

  8. Adherence to Oral Anti-diabetic Medications

    Adherence is the estimated proportion of the prescribed dose taken over a 3-month period. Therefore, each estimate of medication adherence represented a 3-month window of use prior to and including the endpoint time (e.g., the adherence estimate at "12 months post randomization" represented use beginning at 9 months post-randomization and ending at 12 months post-randomization). Pharmacy claims data (i.e., days supply and refill frequency) were used to estimate adherence at each endpoint date.

    Measured: at 12 months post randomization

  9. Adherence to Oral Anti-diabetic Medications

    Adherence is the estimated proportion of the prescribed dose taken over a 3-month period. Therefore, each estimate of medication adherence represented a 3-month window of use prior to and including the endpoint time (e.g., the adherence estimate at "18 months post randomization" represented use beginning at 15 months post-randomization and ending at 18 months post-randomization). Pharmacy claims data (i.e., days supply and refill frequency) were used to estimate adherence at each endpoint date.

    Measured: at 18 months post randomization

  10. Adherence to Lipid-lowering Drugs

    Adherence is the estimated proportion of the prescribed dose taken over a 3-month period. Therefore, each estimate of medication adherence represented a 3-month window of use prior to and including the endpoint time (e.g., the adherence estimate at "12 months post randomization" represented use beginning at 9 months post-randomization and ending at 12 months post-randomization). Pharmacy claims data (i.e., days supply and refill frequency) were used to estimate adherence at each endpoint date.

    Measured: at 12 months post randomization

  11. Adherence to Lipid-lowering Drugs

    Adherence is the estimated proportion of the prescribed dose taken over a 3-month period. Therefore, each estimate of medication adherence represented a 3-month window of use prior to and including the endpoint time (e.g., the adherence estimate at "18 months post randomization" represented use beginning at 15 months post-randomization and ending at 18 months post-randomization). Pharmacy claims data (i.e., days supply and refill frequency) were used to estimate adherence at each endpoint date.

    Measured: at 18 months post randomization

  12. Cardiovascular Morbidity and Mortality (Exploratory)

    Measured: at 36 months post randomization

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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 22 Apr 2015). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Glycated Hemoglobin Levels (time frame: at 18 months post randomization). 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 NCT00754741, which also lists 18 linked publications.

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 8 May 2015; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 30 Oct 2026.
