About this study

Official title: Improving Participation in AMC Clinical Trials (IMPACTS)

This pilot research trial studies factors affecting patient participation in Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) Malignancy Clinical Trials Consortium clinical trials. Determining how patients makes decisions about participating in a clinical trial may help doctors plan clinical trials in which more patients are willing to participate and are satisfied with their decision to participate.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To identify participant-level factors affecting recruitment of potentially eligible participants in AIDS Malignancy Clinical Trials Consortium (AMC) studies at core and affiliated sites.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To describe the socio-demographic characteristics for participation and non-participation in AMC clinical trials among all approached volunteers across AMC sites.

II. To characterize socio-demographic characteristics with motivation and decision making among those who consented to participate in an AMC trial.

III. To identify the perceived barriers associated with clinical trial participation among those who did not consent to participate in an AMC clinical trial.

IV. To better understand how potential study volunteers learn about AMC clinical trials and by what means are they referred to a particular study.

OUTLINE:

Participants complete the Improving Participation in AMC Clinical Trials (IMPACTS) survey comprising questions about socio-demographic information and clinical trial participation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Participant level factors affecting recruitment of potentially eligible participants in AMC intervention studies

    The proportion of individuals who are screened and agree to enroll in a clinical trial will be estimated with the binomial proportion and its 95% confidence interval.

    Measured: Up to 2 weeks

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Socio-demographic characteristics for participation and non-participation in AMC clinical trials among all approached volunteers across AMC sites

    Chi-square tests will be used to compare the characteristics of those who enrolled in a clinical trial with those who did not with respect to sociodemographic characteristics, sexual orientation, and disease-type and design type.

    Measured: Up to 2 weeks

  2. Socio-demographic characteristics with motivation and decision making among those who consented to participate in an AMC trial

    Chi-square tests will be used to compare the characteristics of those who enrolled in a clinical trial with those who did not with respect to sociodemographic characteristics, sexual orientation, and disease-type and design type.

    Measured: Up to 2 weeks

  3. Perceived barriers associated with clinical trial participation among those who did not consent to participate in an AMC clinical trial

    For each study participant who did not enroll in a trial, the number of barriers in each category (views and attitudes, views of other people around them, financial burden and travel) will be computed. Summary statistics (mean, standard deviation [SD], median and interquartile range) will be used to estimate number of barriers in each category. Analyses of variance will be used to assess the associations of sociodemographic characteristics, sexual orientation, disease-type and design-type with the number of barriers in each category.

    Measured: Up to 2 weeks

  4. Means by which volunteers are referred to a particular study

    For study participants who enrolled in a clinical trial, the binomial proportion will be used to estimate the proportion who answered affirmatively to each of the six statements related to decision-making about clinical trials, and the individual reasons for participating in clinical trials. For each study participant who enrolled in a trial, the number of reasons cited for participation will be computed. Summary statistics mean, SD, median and interquartile range) will be used to estimate number of reasons cited for enrollment.

    Measured: Up to 2 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of HIV Infection and Malignant Neoplasm, run by AIDS Malignancy Consortium at 14 sites 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 4 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 18 Aug 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 14 sites 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?

Participant level factors affecting recruitment of potentially eligible participants in AMC intervention studies (time frame: Up to 2 weeks). 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 18 Aug 2016.
