About this study

Official title: Evaluating a Prediction Tool and Decision Aid for Patients With Crohn's Disease

Specific Aim: Study the impact of the Crohn's Disease Shared Decision Making Program on patients' treatment choice, persistence with chosen therapy, decision quality, cost of care, and outcomes

Hypothesis: The Crohn's Disease Shared Decision Making Program will help patients understand which treatments are right for them and will lead to a higher acceptance of appropriate therapy, improved persistence with chosen therapy, lower costs and improved clinical outcomes. To accomplish this aim, Investigators will perform a randomized controlled trial to:

  1. Determine how the shared decision making program influences patients' choice of therapy
  2. Evaluate how the shared decision making program affects persistence with chosen therapy
  3. Determine how the shared decision making program affects decision quality
  4. Determine how the shared decision making program influences cost of care and clinical outcomes

Expected Outcome and Impact: Investigators expect that this program will influence patients' choice of therapy, persistence with their preferred therapy, and lead to improved clinical outcomes. Investigators believe that this product can be successfully operationalized in the clinic to establish a new paradigm of how providers can communicate personalized treatment options to patients across a broad range of diseases.

What participants receive

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

  • Shared Decision Making ProgramBehavioural

    This study is cluster randomized by study-site, Subjects enrolled at intervention sites will access an educational program and risk prediction tool. Their decisions about treatments will be compared to subjects that did not view the educational program or risk prediction tool.

Study groups in NCT02084290
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Shared Decision Making ProgramExperimentalPatients will have access to an educational decision making program and a risk prediction model, this web based program will be sent subjects in the intervention arm upon enrollment, they can access the program as many times as they wish.
Receives: Behavioral: Shared Decision Making Program
ControlNo interventionSubjects enrolled at sites participating as control arms will access the same web-based surveys as the intervention group, and receive the same contacts from the study coordinator as the subjects enrolled at intervention sites.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Shared Decision Making Program in people with Crohn's Disease, run by Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center 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 5 inclusion and 4 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 7 Feb 2019. 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?

Proportion of patients choosing Combination therapy (time frame: Week 1). 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 NCT02084290, 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 7 Feb 2019.
