Trial summary

About 1 million individuals in the US have a prescription for supplemental oxygen (O2). Using O2 can prolong life and increase quality of life. Patients often do not use their oxygen as prescribed, which means that they are not benefiting as much as they could be from this therapy. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Comparative Effectiveness of a Peer-led O2 Infoline for Patients and Caregivers (PELICAN)

About 1 million individuals in the US have a prescription for supplemental oxygen (O2). Using O2 can prolong life and increase quality of life. Patients often do not use their oxygen as prescribed, which means that they are not benefiting as much as they could be from this therapy. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether a PEer-Led O2 Infoline for patients and CAregivers (PELICAN) will increase adherence to supplemental oxygen prescription and improve health in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Read the detailed description

The COPD Foundation operates a peer-led telephone-based information line, but its effectiveness in promoting adherence to O2 therapy and patient-centered outcomes is unknown. Our overall hypothesis is that a patient-centered Peer-Led O2 InfoLine for patients and CAregivers (PELICAN) will increase adherence and improve health. We have developed a broad-based collaboration with patients/caregivers, advocacy groups, a national O2 supplier, and others to conduct a 3-arm pragmatic clinical trial, to evaluate the comparative effectiveness of proactive vs. reactive PELICAN interventions vs. usual care on adherence to O2 (primary outcome) and on other patient-centered outcomes (secondary outcomes).

What participants receive

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

  • Written education material (basic)Behavioural

    Education material on COPD distributed to all participants.

  • Additional education materialBehavioural

    Additional education material sent to participants in the proactive and reactive arms.

  • PELICAN-ProactiveBehavioural

    In the proactive arm, calls will be initiated by the coach. The phone calls will involve educational and social support components. PELICAN is grounded on the social cognitive theory of behavior change and seeks to improve patient adherence by addressing patient self-efficacy and outcome expectancy.

  • PELICAN-ReactiveBehavioural

    Participants allocated to the reactive PELICAN group will be offered the opportunity to access the COPD Foundation Infoline toll-free.

What is being measured

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

  1. Adherence to Supplemental O2 Prescription

    Number of individuals who used the stationary concentrator for a mean of at least 17.7 hours per day

    Measured: 60 days

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. PROMIS - Physical Function

    Change in T-score from baseline to day 60. (A negative change in score indicates worse physical functioning.)

    Measured: 60 days

  2. PROMIS - Fatigue

    Change in T-score from baseline to day 60. (A negative change in score indicates less fatigue.)

    Measured: 60 days

  3. PROMIS - Emotional Distress - Anxiety

    Change in T-score from baseline to day 60. (A negative change in score indicates less emotional distress - anxiety.)

    Measured: 60 days

  4. PROMIS - Sleep Disturbance

    Change in T-score from baseline to day 60. (A negative change in score indicates less sleep disturbance.)

    Measured: 60 days

  5. PROMIS - Emotional Distress - Depression

    Change in T-score from baseline to day 60. (A negative change in score indicates less emotional distress - depression.)

    Measured: 60 days

  6. PROMIS - Satisfaction With Social Roles and Activities

    Change in T-score from baseline to day 60. (A negative change in score indicates less satisfaction with social roles and activities.)

    Measured: 60 days

  7. PROMIS - Ability to Participate in Social Roles and Activities

    Change in T-score from baseline to day 60. (A negative change in score indicates less ability to participate in social roles and activities.)

    Measured: 60 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Written education material (basic), Additional education material and PELICAN-Proactive in people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), run by University of Illinois Chicago at 6 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 2 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 Aug 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 6 Aug 2018). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Adherence to Supplemental O2 Prescription (time frame: 60 days). 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 NCT02098369, 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 Aug 2018.
