About this study

Official title: A Single-arm Proof of Concept, Open Trial Clinical Study Investigating the Feasibility and Efficacy of Integrating Behavioral and Mobile Health Educational Interventions for Primary and Secondary Prevention in the Primary Care Setting

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a mobile health educational intervention for Human PapillomaVirus (HPV) Vaccination promotion and cervical cancer screening in Primary Care settings is a feasible behavioral intervention to integrate as a primary and secondary cervical cancer prevention approach.Study Design: The investigators will conduct an open feasibility proof-of-concept trial using a single experimental group with all subjects receiving the behavioral intervention being studied.

Outcome measures. The primary outcome of interest is receipt of the first dose and completion of the three-dose series of HPV vaccine within 6 month of intervention, this will be evaluated by Electronic medical review review.

Read the detailed description

Background: Nearly 80 million people in the US are infected with HPV and 14 million new cases are diagnosed annually. There is an increasing HPV prevalence among women through the young adult years. Although the body clears many HPV infections persistent infections can progress to cancer and other HPV-related diseases. Cervical cancer is the most common cancer caused by HPV.

Many of the HPV-associated cancers are preventable with a series of safe and effective HPV vaccines. To date, no state has attained the 80% target vaccination rate for HPV. Despite the proven benefits and safety of HPV vaccine, usage remains suboptimal (only 38% had completed the three-dose series) and lower than other recommended adolescent vaccines.

Objective/Hypothesis: Our short term objective is to increase HPV vaccine initiation and completion rates among all age-eligible adolescent girls for whom vaccine is not contraindicated; and explore and examine acceptability of providing HPV vaccination to female youth during her adult female guardian's (AFG) cervical cancer screening appointment.

The investigators hypothesize that a combined intervention which includes (1) a motivational web-based education aimed at AFGs and youth females in their Primary Care site; and (2) text message reminders and an informational web-link on HPV vaccine and cervical cancer screening will increase HPV vaccination rates among youth females and will increase cervical cancer screening rates among their respective AFGs.

The investigators propose the following Aim:

Specific Aim: Conduct a single-arm proof of concept, open trial clinical study investigating the feasibility and efficacy of integrating primary and secondary prevention model for HPV and cervical cancer: a mobile educational and automated electronic interactive messaging intervention that will remind AFG and youth females of scheduled and missed second and third HPV vaccination appointments, and deliver brief text and video educational messaging on HPV, HPV vaccine, and cervical cancer screening.

Study Design: The investigators will conduct an open feasibility proof-of-concept trial using a single experimental group with all subjects receiving the behavioral intervention being studied.

Outcome measures. The primary outcome of interest is receipt of the first dose and completion of the three-dose series of HPV vaccine within 6 month of intervention, this will be evaluated by Electronic medical review review.

What participants receive

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

  • brief negotiated mobile applicationBehavioural

    The intervention will supplement the standard of care with the following steps: (1) mobile- based brief negotiated Intervention ( BNI); (2) a customized companion communication vaccine report to be given before AFG sees provider; and (3) automated interactive Electronic Recall/Reminder Messages (Text messaging), including text messaging and access to a website which includes information about HPV, HPV Vaccine, and cervical cancer screening guideline.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of participants who received the first dose and completed the vaccine series as measured electronic medical record review

    The primary outcome of interest is receipt of the first dose and completion of the three or two-dose series of HPV vaccine by participants within 6 month of intervention, this will be evaluated by Electronic Measure Review. Unit of measure: Number of participants who received the first doses and who competed the total number of does based - recorded as percentage who receive the first dose, and completed the two or 3 doses.

    Measured: up to 6 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Patient knowledge and provider-patient communication

    The secondary outcomes are: (a) Change in knowledge of HPV, HPV vaccination, and cervical cancer screening as evaluated by pre/post intervention survey: unit of Measure: based on a 1-10 point scale, with 10 being the highest score;

    Measured: over 6 months

  2. provider communication about HPV vaccine

    greater provider communication about HPV vaccine : Unit of measure- the number of participants who responded yes to provider communication about HPV vaccine

    Measured: through study completion, an average of 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing brief negotiated mobile application in people with HPV-Related Carcinoma, run by Boston Medical Center 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 8 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 9 Jul 2018. 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?

Number of participants who received the first dose and completed the vaccine series as measured electronic medical record review (time frame: up 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 9 Jul 2018.
