Evaluating CVD Medication Adherence Program in Low SES
A study testing m-health in people with Cardiovascular Disease and Hypertension, run by Duke University at 1 site in United States.
Trial summary
The investigators propose to evaluate the implementation of an efficacious medication adherence program in a group at high risk for CVD. The program involves patients receiving/responding to e-reminders to take CVD medications via patient-selected technology [mobile/web-based applications, short message service (SMS… Read more about this study

About this study
The investigators propose to evaluate the implementation of an efficacious medication adherence program in a group at high risk for CVD. The program involves patients receiving/responding to e-reminders to take CVD medications via patient-selected technology [mobile/web-based applications, short message service (SMS; text messaging), interactive voice response (IVR), or e-mail] supported by a tailored, monthly, self-management program administered by either research staff or a case manager staff member from the Duke Outpatient Clinic via the telephone. This is a hybrid type II implementation science study.
Read the detailed description
The investigators propose to evaluate the implementation of a medication adherence program among patients who attend Duke Outpatient Clinic (DOC). It is anticipated that, among the providers' patient panels, at least 100 and up to 300 with CVD risk and poor CVD medication adherence (<0.08 medication possession ratio) will consent to the program.
Using procedures from the investigators previous studies, the investigators will identify potential patients from the EHR, and will identify a pool of potential patients using electronic health records, with the goal of administering the program to at least 100 patients. Patients will be mailed letters, signed by their own provider or medical director of DOC, requesting their participation in the programs. The RA will contact patients via telephone to explain the study, screen for eligibility, and determine what mode of administration individuals prefer to receive the program (SMS, IVR, or email).
The primary outcome will be that the effectiveness/impact of the proposed adherence program will be a 10% improvement in MPR and CVD outcomes (anticipate reducing SBP by 5 mmHg, Hgb a1c by 0.5%, LDL-C by 20 mg/dl).

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
m-healthBehavioural
Patients will receive e-reminders via text message and email. A message library that allows us to disseminate constant and reliable information has been created. Messages will contain not only medication reminders, but information about issues related to self-management and medication adherence for CVD risk including messages on side-effects, risks/benefits of medication treatment, and barriers to medication adherence. In addition to these messages, patients will also receive tailored information via telephone by trained research staff.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| m-health | Experimental | Patients will receive text message, emails, and monthly phone calls Receives: Behavioral: m-health |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Adherence to the program's intervention
It is measured as the proportion of technology or interventionist contacts responded to by a patient out of those received over the course of the intervention period. This will be summarized descriptively by type of contact (technology vs. interventionist call) and subdivided by technology (SMS, email).
Measured: 6 months
Secondary outcomes (4)
Clinical effectiveness/impact of the program to pill refill adherence
This will be measured by pulling pill refill records of those patients who are enrolled. The investigators anticipate an improvement of 10% on pill refill adherence.
Measured: 6 months
Clinical effectiveness/impact on BP
This will be measured by assessing systolic BP values. The investigators anticipate reducing SBP by 5 mmHg.
Measured: 6 months
Clinical effectiveness/impact on A1C
This will be measured by assessing A1C values. The investigators anticipate reducing Hgb A1c by 0.5%.
Measured: 6 months
Clinical effectiveness/impact on cholesterol
This will be measured by assessing LDL-C levels in patients. The goal is to reduce LDL-C levels by 20 mg/dl.
Measured: 6 months

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 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 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?
Adherence to the program's intervention (time frame: 6 months). 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 12 Aug 2016.
