About this study

Official title: Patient Expectations When Enrolling in a Phase I/II RS1 Ocular Gene Transfer Clinical Trial

Background:

-X-linked retinoschisis (XLRS) is an inherited eye condition. Researchers want to learn more about how people with XLRS choose to take part in research studies. They hope to find ways to help other people make decisions about joining early phase trials

Objective:

-To learn more about how people think and feel about taking part in early phase research.

Eligibility:

-Adults age 18 or older with diagnosed XLRS. They must be eligible to be screened for a Phase I/II ocular gene transfer clinical trial.

Design:

  • Participants will be screened for the XLRS gene transfer study. They will be interviewed:
  • Eligible participants who join the study - before the gene transfer procedure, then 3 months and 12 months after it.
  • Eligible participants who do not join the study - after their screening visit and 3 months and 12 months later.

<TAB>- Participants who are screened but ineligible - after their screening visit.

<TAB>- Participants who choose not to be screened - at the time they make the decision and 1 year later.

  • Interviews will ask for the participants thoughts about the clinical trial and why they chose to take part or not. The interviews will be recorded.
  • On the day of interview 1, participants will fill out a survey about their mood and personality.
  • On the days of interviews 2 and 3, participants will fill out a survey about their mood.
  • Interviews may be done in person or by phone. Surveys can be done online or through the mail. Or they can be done in person at the NIH Clinical Center.
Read the detailed description

Objective: The objective of this study is to understand the factors that influence patient expectations when enrolling in an early-phase RS1 ocular gene transfer clinical trial and to assess the psychological impact of patient expectations over time.

Study Population: Up to 50 adults with X-linked retinoschisis who are eligible to be screened for a Phase I/II ocular gene transfer clinical trial will be included in this study. We hope to capture the experience of those actively engaged in the decision-making process who may choose not to participate in the clinical trial or who may receive gene transfer.

Design: This is a prospective qualitative interview study with quantitative questionnaires. Participation will involve up to three interviews with questionnaires over one year. Interviews may take place in person at the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center (NIH CC) or by telephone and will focus on how the interviewee came to the decision to participate (not to participate) in the early-phase ocular gene transfer trial. Interviews will be transcribed verbatim, coded by two independent coders, and analyzed thematically. Participants will also be asked to complete a questionnaire that measures dispositional optimism, resilience, and general mood states using instruments that have been shown to be valid and reliable in both the general population and in clinical samples. Information collected from these surveys will supplement information collected during the qualitative interview and will provide information about constructs that are difficult to assess during a brief interview.

Outcome Measures: The primary outcomes of this study include a description of what research participants expect when choosing to enroll in an early-phase clinical trial and a description of the psychological impact, over time, of having high expectations

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Retinoschisis and X-Linked, run by National Eye Institute (NEI) 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 4 inclusion and 3 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 9 Dec 2019. 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?

Desc. expectation pt enroll ct (time frame: Study Completion). 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 NCT02317354, which also lists 2 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 9 Dec 2019.
