About this study

Official title: A Real-world, Point-of-care, Randomized, Parallel Group, Open, 6-month Clinical Study to Evaluate the Effect of a Digital Disease Management Tool in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

A real-world, point-of-care, randomized, parallel group, open, 6-month clinical study to evaluate if the provision of a digital disease management tool improves glycaemic control in participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), as measured by change from baseline to End of Study (Month 6) in glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) levels. Clinical assessments for this study will be conducted as part of normal, standard care. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of adding this tool to participants' current standard care for T2DM on glycaemic control, other variables of importance in T2DM (eg, weight, blood pressure, and lipid levels), and participant-reported outcomes (PROs), such as satisfaction with treatment and adherence to their antihyperglycaemic treatment

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to evaluate if the provision of a digital disease management tool in addition to standard care for T2DM, will improve glycaemic control. This is an open design study, in which the patients will be aware of the guidance they are receiving via the provided support tool. Study duration of 6 months has been chosen, as a reasonable amount of time to evaluate the tool. Glycaemic control is considered to be the goal of a T2DM disease management plan. In T2DM, long-term goals may not be achieved because participants fail to adhere to their management plan after an initial period of compliance. The study will compare the group receiving the digital disease management tool added to standard care for T2DM to a concurrent control group receiving standard care. Standard of Care cohort: Participants will have standard care with no access to the digital disease management tool. Clinical assessments for this study will be conducted as part of normal, standard care. Participants in the Standard of Care + digital disease management cohort will be taken through their standard T2DM management plan by their HCP (Health Care Provider) and trained in the use of the digital disease management tool. All participants will complete the PRO assessments. This study also aims at helping the health care practitioners and managed care providers to make evidence-based decisions about how to improve patient self-management of their diabetes. Participants diagnosed with T2DM and on one or more non-insulin antihyperglycaemic medications will be offered participation in the study at their point of care. Participants in the Standard of Care cohort will be taken through their T2DM management plan with their HCP per standard care. It is not anticipated that the use of this patient tool will be associated with any increase in risk to participating patients. The study will be performed in accordance with ethical principles that are consistent with International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH)/Good Clinical Practice (GCP), applicable regulatory requirements, and the AZ policy of bioethics.

What participants receive

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

  • Use of digital disease management tool in participants with T2DMOther

    The purpose of this study is to evaluate if the provision of a digital disease management tool in addition to standard care for T2DM, will improve glycaemic control. The impact of the tool will be assessed in comparison to a Control group who will receive standard care alone. All participants will complete the PRO assessments. This is a real-world study carried out at the point of care intended to assist health care practitioners and managed care providers to make evidence-based decisions about how to improve participant self-management of their diabetes.

What is being measured

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

  1. Mean Change from baseline to Month 6 in HbA1c

    The primary outcome measure is the mean change from baseline to Month 6 in HbA1c. Mean changes from baseline to intermediate visits (if any occur) will also be determined.

    Mean change from baseline to intermediate visits are optional and only occur if it is a part of standard of care.

    Measured: From Baseline to 6 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Proportion of participants who achieve HbA1c levels <7% at Month 6

    Proportion of participants who achieve HbA1c levels <7% at Month 6

    Measured: Month 6 of study participation

  2. Mean change in Body weight (kg) from baseline to Month 6

    Mean change in Body weight (kg) from baseline to Month 6.

    Mean change from baseline to intermediate visits are optional and only occur if it is a part of standard of care.

    Measured: From Baseline to 6 months

  3. Proportion of patients in both cohorts who intensify antihyperglycaemic treatment from Visit 1

    Proportion of participants in both cohorts who intensify antihyperglycaemic treatment from Visit 1, defined as an increase in dose or addition of a new antihyperglycaemic agent not received at baseline.

    Mean change from baseline to intermediate visits are optional and only occur if it is a part of standard of care.

    Measured: From Baseline to 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Type II Diabetes Mellitus, run by AstraZeneca at 14 sites in United Kingdom.

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 11 inclusion and 9 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Oct 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 14 sites in United Kingdom. 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 was stopped early (reason given: The study was stopped due to lack of recruitment.). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Mean Change from baseline to Month 6 in HbA1c (time frame: From Baseline to 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 16 Oct 2017.
