About this study

Official title: Comparative Effectiveness of Two Self Assessment Tools: KIOS-Bipolar or eMoods: A Randomized, Open 52 Week Study for Persons With Bipolar Disorder

The goal of this project is to complete the development of a patient-centered software system and mobile app to assist in managing bipolar disorder. In Phase I, the investigators developed a novel computational tool known as KIOS. Based on concepts from nonlinear systems (chaos) theory, KIOS tracks multiple interacting symptoms to determine the precise state of a BD patient. Once the patient's state is identified and the trajectory of the patient is established, KIOS produces advice specific to the patient's condition to help manage the course of the disease. To demonstrate the usability of the software, KIOS was converted to an online tool with mobile access. Twenty bipolar patients evaluated KIOS in a twelve week field trial. No technical problems with the software were observed and results showed that patients had significantly more reductions in symptom severity than increases. The development of this innovative tool to help patients self- manage BD has the potential to have a profound impact on public health and achieve significant commercial success.

Read the detailed description

This Phase II study has the specific aim of evaluation of KIOS-Bipolar in a randomized, open 52 week effectiveness study of 120 bipolar subjects in current treatment at three socioeconomically diverse academic health science centers. Concurrent with this clinical effectiveness study, the research team, funded by the same NIH grant,will refine prototype software and integrate data security and establish quality standards into the KIOS-Bipolar system.

The clinical trial will:

Assess sensitivity of K-B assessed improvement or worsening by comparison with assessment by BISS-Self and BISS-42.

What is being measured

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

  1. Comparison of Two Brief Assessment Measures: KIOS Bipolar or eMOODs

    measure is the count of participants with KIOS or eMOOD assessments completed on time, completed only with follow-up prompts, and the number of weeks not submitted.

    Measured: 52 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Bipolar Disorder, run by The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio 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 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 1 Apr 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 1 Apr 2019). 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?

Comparison of Two Brief Assessment Measures: KIOS Bipolar or eMOODs (time frame: 52 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 1 Apr 2019.
