About this study

This retrospective study aims to perform a medication risk stratification using drug claims data and to simulate the impact of the addition of various repurposed drugs on the Medication Risk Score (MRS) in a health insurance population. Our clinical tool would enable us to identify potential multi-drug interactions and potentially reduce the risk of adverse drug events (ADE) developing in these patients infected with COVID-19.

Read the detailed description

Certain investigational agents have been described in observational series or are being used anecdotally based on in vitro or extrapolated evidence. It is important to acknowledge that there are no controlled data supporting the use of any of these agents, and their efficacy for COVID-19 is unknown. FDA-approved drugs such as chloroquine/hydroxychloroquine, lopinavir/ritonavir, monoclonal IL-6 antibodies, JAK inhibitors, thalidomide, and the new investigational drug remdesivir, have been proposed for repurposing to fight COVID-19 and its complications.

A medication risk stratification strategy will be used to simulate the impacts of different potential repurposed drugs for COVID-19 and the Medication Risk Score (MRS) which is used as a predictive tool for ADEs. A retrospective study will be conducted using de-identified drug claims data for commercially insured patients.

What is being measured

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

  1. Calculate the Medication Risk Score of de-identified participants from Medicare/Medicaid and commercial health insurance plans using their current drug regimen via our proprietary risk stratification process.

    Quantitative

    Measured: Three months

  2. Simulate the Medication Risk Score following the addition of different repurposed drugs against COVID-19 to their current drug regimen via our proprietary risk stratification process.

    Quantitative

    Measured: Three months

  3. Compare the impact (change) on the Medication Risk Score using the calculate before score and simulated after score following the addition of repurposed drugs for COVID-19 to the drug regimens of patients enrolled in the study.

    Quantitative

    Measured: Three months

  4. Measure the effects of various repurposed drugs for COVID-19 on each of the five factors computed by algorithms to derive the Medication Risk Score will be calculated via our proprietary risk stratification process.

    Quantitative

    Measured: Three months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Comparison of the Medication Risk Score and the effects of the addition of repurposed drugs on the drug regimen between participants with Medicare/Medicaid vs. commercial health insurance plans will be assessed.

    Qualitative

    Measured: Six months

  2. Measure the effects on Medication Risk Score of various repurposed drugs for COVID-19 within subgroups of patients classified by specific diseases or drugs used and the impact of various covariables.

    Qualitative

    Measured: One year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of COVID and Drug Effect, run by Tabula Rasa HealthCare 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 2 inclusion and 2 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 2 Sep 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?

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?

Calculate the Medication Risk Score of de-identified participants from Medicare/Medicaid and commercial health insurance plans using their current drug regimen via our proprietary risk stratification process. (time frame: Three months). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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 2 Sep 2022.
