About this study

Official title: Construction and Validation of a Health-related Quality of Life (HR-QOL) Instrument for Patients With Primary Antibody Deficiency Disease

This research is being done to construct a survey questionnaire, a quality of life tool, to determine the health, well-being, ability to perform daily activities, and physical, social and emotional functioning in participants with primary immunodeficiency disorders (PIDD). This quality of life (QOL) tool will help physicians understand the effects of PIDD on a person's health. These quality of life surveys are important tools for physicians to measure outcomes for satisfaction and effects of treatment.

Read the detailed description

A preliminary patient and clinician-generated scale will be validated and modified during a multicenter scale validity study involving 85 patients from 5 sites. Feasibility surveys have been conducted and available sites that can be included in this study include Boston Children's/ Harvard, Midwest Immunology, Johns Hopkins, Children's Hospital at Baylor University, and the University of South Florida at All Children's Hospital Johns Hopkins Medicine. Patients will be enrolled at a clinic non-infusion visit. The purpose of the study will be explained and informed consent obtained. A case report form (CRF) of their clinical condition and demographics will be completed based on the information obtained by the local study coordinator during the interview at the time of the visit. The HR-QOL PIDD survey will be administered to the patient by the site PI or the study coordinator. A second survey will be handed to the patient to take home with them and completed at 48-120 hrs. after the clinic visit. The study coordinator will contact the patient during this period to ensure that the patient completes this second survey and returns it to the local study site. If a patient is on SCIg they will be asked to take the survey 3 days after the SC infusion (if weekly), and complete the paired survey 48-72 hrs later (before another SCIg infusion is scheduled). The study coordinator will obtain an interim history for the period between the paired surveys to ensure that, in general, the condition of the patient has not changed that could invalidate the validation process, and this information will be documented on the addendum case report form (CRF). Patient can return the surveys to the site study coordinator either by mail, fax or electronically by scanning the documents. Paired surveys will be returned to the central study site (USF St Petersburg) for data input.

What participants receive

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

  • questionnaire surveyOther

    The HR-QOL PIDD survey will be administered to the patient by the site PI or the study coordinator. A second survey will be handed to the patient to take home with them and completed at 48-120 hrs. after the clinic visit. The study coordinator will contact the patient during this period to ensure that the patient completes this second survey and returns it to the local study site. A case report form (CRF) of their clinical condition and demographics will be collected at the time of informed consent.

What is being measured

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

  1. Develop and validate a disease specific Quality of Life Questionnaire for patients with primary antibody immune deficiency disease (PIDD)

    A 28 item questionnaire will be administered to patients with antibody immune deficiency using a 5 point Likert type scale. The questions were generated by clinical immunologist, infusion nurses with feedback from patients. The questions cover all of the SF-36 QOL instrument except body pain. Paired questionnaires were collected 48 to 120 hrs apart from each patient. Rasch analysis will be used to analysis the performance of the questionnaire for disordered items, lack of discrimination between item questions, overlap of questions, and the spread of the 5 point scale that will lead to item reduction. The primary outcome is to generate a validated HR-QOL questionnaire for patients with primary antibody deficiency that will be useful for clinical care and potentially for clinical trials.

    Measured: one year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Immune Deficiency, Antibody, run by University of South Florida.

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 5 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 13 Jan 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Develop and validate a disease specific Quality of Life Questionnaire for patients with primary antibody immune deficiency disease (PIDD) (time frame: one year). 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 NCT02542228, 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 13 Jan 2017.
