About this study

Official title: DECIDE - ICD: A Multicenter Trial of a Shared DECision Support Intervention for Patients Offered Implantable Cardioverter-DEfibrillators

The investigators goal is to assess real-world effectiveness of patient decision aids (PtDA) for high-risk decisions using the implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) as a model.

Read the detailed description

The investigators propose the DECIDE-ICD trial: a type II effectiveness implementation hybrid trial of the investigators ICD PtDAs. The Investigators will use a 6-site stepped-wedge design, with implementation guided by normalization process theory® and evaluation guided by the RE-AIM framework.

The investigators aim to evaluate reach and effectiveness of the ICD PtDAs using a pragmatic, stepped-wedge design on decision quality (knowledge and value-concordance) and psychosocial outcomes.

  • Hypothesis 1a: PtDAs will reach over 50% of eligible patients.
  • Hypothesis 1b: ICD PtDAs will be effective in improving decision quality in real-world practice.
  • Hypothesis 1c: Better informed patients will have lower anxiety, higher rates of planning for the possibility of deactivation, and increased identification of a surrogate decision maker.

The investigators propose 3 a priori hypotheses:

  • The decision aids will have a differential effect on the decisions of participants by age (>= 70 years old vs <70 years old);
  • The decision aids will have a differential effect on the decisions of participants by heart failure type (non-ischemic vs ischemic);
  • The decision aids will have a differential effect on the decisions of participants by the type of device they are considering (ICD vs ICD replacement vs CRT-D).

Along with these hypotheses, we recognize that other important covariates exist, such as health literacy and education level.

What participants receive

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

  • Educational video and/or handoutOther

    The intervention includes a video and/or handout (whichever is easier for the participant) that will give information about defibrillators and about other patients' experiences with their decisions about defibrillators.

What is being measured

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

  1. Knowledge About Defibrillation at Baseline

    Multiple survey responses by participants will indicate knowledge changes over time. The Decision Quality Knowledge Survey measures knowledge about defibrillators. Possible scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating more knowledge and better outcomes.

    Measured: Baseline

  2. Knowledge About Defibrillation at 1 Month

    Multiple survey responses by participants will indicate knowledge changes over time. The Decision Quality Knowledge Survey measures knowledge about defibrillators. Possible scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating more knowledge and better outcomes.

    Measured: 1 month

  3. Knowledge About Defibrillation at 6 Months

    Multiple survey responses by participants will indicate knowledge changes over time. The Decision Quality Knowledge Survey measures knowledge about defibrillators. Possible scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating more knowledge and better outcomes.

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Reach of Eligible Patients

    Measuring how many patients of the eligible patient base are able to view or read the educational materials.

Model description
Step-wedge design. 6 groups will begin recruiting participants as control participants. Throughout the study, at 5 month intervals, 1 randomly selected site at a time will begin intervention. Due to the impact of COVID-19 on sites and patient visits from March-April 2020, we moved back the implementation of intervention dates for the 5th site (UCH/DH) by 2 months and the 6th site (Beth Israel) by 1 month.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Educational video and/or handout in people with Heart Failure, Systolic and Heart Failure, run by University of Colorado, Denver 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 3 inclusion and 1 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 8 Jul 2022. 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 8 Jul 2022). 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?

Knowledge About Defibrillation at Baseline (time frame: Baseline). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT03374891, 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 8 Jul 2022.
