About this study

This study looks to examine whether an online patient tool to monitor factors affecting patients peripheral artery disease can lead to improvements in patients' disease and slow its progression.

Read the detailed description

The objective of this project is to implement a program involving a new online patient-centred approach to assist in peripheral arterial disease (PAD) self-management in home and work environments, in collaboration with patient circles of care (patients, care-givers, physicians, and allied healthcare professionals). This program involves online modules tailored to the needs of specific patients and diseases, oriented to education, training, monitoring, and continuing support for lifestyle changes (smoking cessation, exercise, healthy diets, weight loss, etc.) and psycho-social needs such as social isolation and loneliness. The investigators have tested an online desk-top version for over 30 out-patients with PAD at St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto. The investigators propose to test its ability for improved outcomes and healthcare quality of life through a multi-centre randomized controlled trial for PAD and a frequently co-occurring chronic illness, high blood pressure.

What participants receive

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

  • Online Support ModuleOther

    The online support module is a computer software program which helps patients monitor factors related to their peripheral artery disease

  • Standard of CareOther

    The normal care that patients receive at the institution.

Study groups in NCT03464006
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Online Support ModuleExperimentalPatients in the online support module group will receive a tablet which has the developed peripheral arterial disease platform installed on it. The platform helps the patient to monitor factors related to their peripheral arterial disease such as exercise, smoking, and diet and helps them to track and modify these behaviours.
Receives: Other: Online Support Module
Standard of CareActive comparatorPatients in this arm will receive the standard of care as provided by the institution.

What is being measured

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

  1. Ankle Brachial Index

    The ankle brachial index will be measured to determine peripheral artery disease status and progression.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Blood Pressure

    Patient blood pressure.

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Health Related Quality of Life

    Quality of life measured using the EuroQol-5D (EQ-5D). The EQ-5D provides a variety of health states which can then be converted to an index score ranging from 0-1.0, with 0 indicating a poorer health state and 1.0 representing a better health state.

    Measured: 1 year

  3. Diabetes Status

    Diabetes status measured by hemoglobin A1C

    Measured: 1 year

  4. Vascular Health

    Measured using LDL, HDL, and total cholesterol

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Online Support Module in people with Peripheral Artery Disease, run by McMaster University.

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 2 inclusion and 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Mar 2018. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Steven Phillips, MSc (905-521-2100 ext. 44167, phills3@mcmaster.ca), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Ankle Brachial Index (time frame: 1 year). 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 15 Mar 2018.
