About this study

Official title: A Multicentre Randomized Program to Compare the Effect of the Joint Asia Diabetes Evaluation (JADE, Structured Care) Versus the DIAbetes MONitoring Database (DIAMOND, Usual Care) Programs in Type 2 Diabetes in the Asia Pacific Region

In this demonstration project (Asia Pacific JADE and DIAMOND Program, AP-JD in short) supported by the Asia Diabetes Foundation (ADF), patients will be recruited from different sites across Asia, with each site recruiting at least 600 type 2 diabetic patients. After explanation by trained doctors and nurses, and with written informed consent, patients will be randomized to either the JADE (n=300, structured care) or DIAMOND (n=300, usual care) group.

All patients will undergo a comprehensive assessment (CA) at baseline and yearly thereafter. Patients in the JADE group will be further managed by a doctor-nurse-HCA team according to a protocol based on risk stratification with predefined follow up (FU) schedules together with shared information and decision support (i.e. structured collaborative care). The DIAMOND protocol involves only baseline and yearly CA without predefined FU schedules or feedback of information between CA visits (i.e. usual care).

The primary composite endpoint is all-diabetes related clinical endpoints. The secondary composite endpoint is attainment of treatment goals and/or control of risk factors. The tertiary changes are behavioral changes, psychological well being and quality of life.

Read the detailed description

Rationale: Change of practice environment and an interdisciplinary team is needed to implement evidence-based diabetes care which requires risk stratification, periodic assessments, education and treatment to targets.

Hypothesis: The use of a web-based disease management program (Joint Asia Diabetes Evaluation (JADE) Program) delivered by a doctor-nurse-HCA team reduces the incidence of all diabetes-associated clinical endpoint and improves control of risk factors compared to usual care (DIAbetes MONitoring Database (DIAMOND) group) in type 2 diabetes.

Objective: To compare structured care using the JADE portal versus usual care using the DIAMOND portal on incidence of all-diabetes related events, physical and psychological health.

Study design: A multicentre, randomized, integrated disease management program Setting and patients: 600 patients from each site will be randomized to the JADE group (n=300) or the DIAMOND group (n=300) and followed up for at least 24 months.

Intervention: All patients will undergo comprehensive assessment (CA) guided by the templates in the respective portal at baseline, month 12 and 24. The JADE group will be further managed by a doctor-nurse-HCA team guided by the JADE portal with risk stratification program and recommendation to different care protocols with predefined follow up (FU) schedules, information sharing and decision supports.

Outcome measures: Primary composite outcomes include all diabetes-related clinical events; secondary composite outcomes include control of risk factors and tertiary composite outcomes include behavioral changes, psychological health, quality of life and cost-effective analysis.

What participants receive

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

  • JADEOther

    Patients are booked for reviews led by the doctor-nurse-HCA team every 2-4 months, preferably in a setting different from the busy clinics in order to facilitate group education and promote peer support.

    Between each follow-up visit, the nurse or HCA will contact the patient by phone or email to remind them of the appointments (e.g. medical FU visit or laboratory tests), adhere to medications and healthy lifestyles, perform self glucose monitoring and provide psychosocial support, as appropriate.

  • DIAMONDOther

    Patients randomized to the DIAMOND group will receive usual care after the initial baseline comprehensive assessment (CA), with repeat CA at 12 and 24 months.

JADEExperimentalPatients randomized to the JADE group will be followed according to protocol-driven diabetes care based on their individual risk levels, using a web-based disease management program. In addition to their annual comprehensive assessments at baseline, year 1 and year 2, all subsequent follow-up visits will be documented and entered into the JADE portal, which will then issue reports to both patients and doctor to promote sharing of information and informed decisions.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of all diabetes-related clinical endpoints

    1. cardiovascular events (acute myocardial infarction, revascularisation procedures, heart failure, unstable angina, arrhythmia, stroke, transient ischemic attacks requiring hospital admissions)
    2. chronic kidney disease (eGFR<60 ml/min/1.73m2) or end stage renal disease (dialysis and/or eGFR<15 ml/min/1.73m2)
    3. visual impairment (corrected visual acuity of 20/200 or worse) or eye surgery
    4. lower extremity amputation or foot ulcers requiring hospitalizations
    5. major infections - pulmonary and non-pulmonary requiring hospitalizations
    6. all-site cancers
    7. death

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Proportions of patients with improved control of risk factors

    1. 2 or more of the 'ABC' targets: i) HbA1c<7%, ii) BP<130/80 mmHg, iii) LDL-C <2.6 mmol/L.
    2. and/or
    3. 2 of the following changes in risk factor control: i) at least 0.5% reduction in HbA1c, ii) at least 5 mmHg reduction in systolic BP, iii) at least 0.5 mmol/L reduction in LDL-C, iv) at least 3% reduction in body weight.

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing JADE and DIAMOND in people with Diabetes, run by Asia Diabetes Foundation at 1 site in Hong Kong.

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 6 inclusion and 5 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 19 Apr 2022. 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 Hong Kong. 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?

Incidence of all diabetes-related clinical endpoints (time frame: 12 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 NCT01631084, which also lists 3 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 19 Apr 2022.
