About this study

Official title: Patient Interviews to Better Understand Disease Experience and Unmet Treatment Needs in Hand Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease which causes joints to become painful and stiff. HOA is the second most common form of OA and is characterized by stiffness, joint pain and inflammation and tenderness in the knuckles or around the waist. This cross-sectional, qualitative interview study aims to explore the experience of erosive HOA as well as explore the content validity of the Michigan Hand Outcomes Questionnaire (MHQ) by conducting semi-structured combined concept elicitation (CE) and cognitive debriefing (CD) telephone interviews and real-time data capture. The conceptual model developed from this data will be used to support the development of GSK3196165, a human monoclonal antibody target for the treatment of HOA. The CE interviews (45 minutes duration) will explore the experience of subjects suffering with HOA and will collect information about symptoms, health related quality of life (HRQoL), treatment experience and the language used by subjects to describe them whereas the CD interviews (45 minutes duration) will assess the content validity of the MHQ. The real-time disease experience of subjects will be captured by the real-time data capture app-based activity over a period of 7 days. Approximately 30 subjects from the United States (US) of which 15 subjects will be erosive HOA and rest 15 will be non-erosive HOA.

What participants receive

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

  • Michigan Hand Outcomes QuestionnaireOther

    The MHQ is a self-report measure that assesses the function of the hand(s) and/or wrist(s). The MHQ contains six distinct scales including overall hand function, activities of daily living, pain, work performance, aesthetics and subject satisfaction with hand function. In the pain scale, high scores indicate greater pain, while in the other five scales, high scores denote better hand performance.

  • Real-time data capture appOther

    Real time data capture app is a smart-phone or web-based application which will allow the subjects to provide responses about their experience of HOA in real-time via varying video, audio, photographic and text forms.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of subjects with hand osteoarthritis participating in CE interviews

    CE interviews will be carried out to explore disease experience with respect to symptoms, impacts and treatment/surgical experiences.

    Measured: 1 day

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Content validity of the Michigan Hand Outcomes Questionnaire through CD interviews

    The MHQ is a self-report measure that assesses the function of hand(s) and/or wrist(s). The MHQ contains six distinct scales including overall hand function, activities of daily living, pain, work performance, aesthetics and subject satisfaction with hand function. In a pain scale, high scores indicate greater pain, while in the other five scales, high scores denote better hand performance. Subjects will be asked to complete the MHQ questionnaire during CD interview using a 'think-aloud' technique to evaluate the content validity.

    Measured: 1 day

  2. Analysis of hand osteoarthritis experience by using real-time data data capture task

    A subgroup of ten of the thirty subjects participating in the CE and CD interviews will be asked to take part in the real-time data capture task over the course of 7 days and during this time a series of questions/tasks will be asked to subjects via the application to explore the experience of the symptoms, HRQoL impacts and treatment of erosive HOA and any day-to-day variability that exists these experiences in 'real time'.

    Measured: Up to 7 days

  3. Preparation of conceptual model

    Data obtained from the CE and CD interviews as well as real-time data capture will be used to develop a conceptual model for erosive HOA. Symptom, impact, and treatment concepts which have been identified will be grouped into domains and displayed visually and any identified relationships or trends between domains will also be included in the model. A key will be developed using color coding or bolding/italics to show the source of the concept (example, red if the concept emerged from the interviews only, and green it emerged from the real-time data capture only). In addition, and where relevant the frequency at which a concept was reported across sources will be included in the model.

    Measured: Up to 7 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Osteoarthritis, run by GlaxoSmithKline at 1 site 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 21 inclusion and 17 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 16 Oct 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 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 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 subjects with hand osteoarthritis participating in CE interviews (time frame: 1 day). 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 2018.
