About this study

Official title: Home Blood Pressure Monitoring Program

The goal of this project is to improve hypertension control at Kaiser Permanente Colorado (KPCO) by implementing a population-based multi-factorial intervention that uses home BP monitors that can download BP readings to KPCO's health records via internet, interactive voice response (IVR) technology, and multidisciplinary care team. Participants will be randomized to either the home blood pressure monitoring group receiving the multi-factorial intervention or the usual care group who will be receiving Kaiser standard of care. We will determine the proportion of patients in each group who achieve their target BP goals at 6 months, according to national clinical practice guidelines. The study hypothesis is that a higher proportion of patients with uncontrolled hypertension in the home blood pressure monitoring (HBPM) group will achieve their target blood pressure compared to those in the usual care (UC) group.

STUDY OBJECTIVES:

Primary:

  • To determine the proportion of patients in each group who achieve their target BP goals at 6 months, according to national clinical practice guidelines

Secondary:

The following parameters will be evaluated between groups:

  • Change in BP measures between baseline and at 6 months
  • Proportion of patients who are receiving antihypertensive treatments in accordance to national clinical practice guidelines
  • Adherence to hypertensive medication regimen during the 6-month follow-up period
  • Patient satisfaction with the care model.

What participants receive

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

  • Home Blood Pressure MonitoringBehavioural

    Also called HBPM

    Home blood pressure readings are taken at least 3 times a week, uploaded to a Microsoft Health Vault account through American Heart Association Heart360 at least 1 time per week. Patients are followed by a clinical pharmacist, with physician oversight, who will make adjustments to antihypertensive medications or suggest additional medications using national JNC VII and KPCO hypertension guidelines.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Home Blood Pressure Monitoring in people with Hypertension, run by Kaiser Permanente at 1 site in United States.

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 5 inclusion and 7 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 6 Apr 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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?

BP at 6 months (time frame: 6 months). 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 NCT01162759, 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 6 Apr 2012.
