About this study

Official title: The Bliss Cluster Randomised Control Trial on the Effects of Active Dissemination of Information on Outcomes of Premature Babies.

BEADI is a dissemination trial, on standards of care of premature babies. The main objective of BEADI is to assess whether an innovative 'active' strategy for the dissemination of neonatal information (evidence reviews, interactive training workshop, benchmarking and feedback, and ongoing support) is more likely to lead to changes in policy and practice than the traditional (more passive) forms of dissemination in English neonatal units.

BEADI will focus on three areas of neonatal care for premature (22+0 to 26+6 weeks' gestation) babies born in England: timing of surfactant therapy, staffing for resuscitation at delivery, and temperature control (in line with the main Project 27/28 findings ). However, the approach is applicable to a wide variety of clinical policies and practice.

The BEADI study has been granted ethical approval by MREC to use a subset of data collected by EPICure2 up until 31st December 2006 (pre-intervention data). For the post-intervention data, ethical approval has been granted for CEMACH to continue data collection against the three clinical areas using a subset of data items captured in the PN:E2 form, for the three month period between 1st January - 31st March 2007. Local research and development departments of each trust have also been contacted.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Effects of Active Dissemination in people with Premature Babies, run by Confidential Enquiry into Maternal and Child Health.

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 0 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Jan 2009. 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.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Assess whether an innovative 'active' strategy for the dissemination of neonatal research findings, recs and national guidelines is more likely to lead to changes in policy and practice than the traditional,passive forms of dissemination in the UK. (time frame: 3 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 28 Jan 2009.
