About this study
Official title: Prevention of HCC Using Mobile Phone Applications: A Disease Management Project Based on CR-HepB Platform
This prospective cohort study is initiated to evaluate the compliance improvement to the standardized follow-up and clinical management in the population of compensatory hepatitis B cirrhosis with a mobile health application (APP). Patients were enrolled and divided into APP self-management group (APP only ) and APP intelligent-management group (APP and online interaction). The compliance to the standardized follow-up and clinical management (every six months) under the two clinical management modes would be evaluated and compared with the history data extracted from the platform of China Registry of Hepatitis B (CR-Hep B).
Read the detailed description
Standardized follow-up and clinical management in the population of compensatory hepatitis B cirrhosis is important in the prevention of liver cancer. In the clinical practice, follow-up every six months are usually recommended. This prospective cohort study is initiated to evaluate the compliance improvement to the standardized follow-up and clinical management with a health management application (APP). 4000 patients who have registered on the platform of China Registry of Hepatitis B (CR-Hep B) and been diagnosed as compensatory hepatitis B cirrhosis would be recruited in the study. They were divided into two groups according to whether they use the APP and whether there is online interaction between doctors and patients:
- APP self-management group (APP only, N=1000): Patients would register on the APP and visit the clinics according to the routine practice and guidelines. During the study, the APP would regularly send messages including the follow-up reminder (manually set up by the patients on the APP), medication reminder, health education knowledge, etc.
- APP intelligent-management group (APP and online interaction, N=3000): Patients would register on the APP and visit the clinics according to the routine practice and guidelines. During the study, the APP would regularly send messages including the follow-up reminder (automatically set up by the APP), medication reminder, health education knowledge, etc. The doctors will evaluate their disease progression every six months through the APP and guide patients' clinical practice accordingly.
Patients in these two groups would be followed up for 2 years after enrollment. Besides, history data of another 4000 Patients who have been on the platform of China Registry of Hepatitis B (CR-Hep B) and been diagnosed as compensatory hepatitis B cirrhosis would be extracted and serve as the control group (No APP and No online interaction, N=4000).
The compliance to the standardized follow-up and clinical management (every six months) under the three clinical management modes would be evaluated.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Patient compliance to the standardized semi-annual follow-up
Total follow-up times with the three clinical management modes. The event of follow-up is defined as self-reported clinic visit for liver cirrhosis assessment on the mobile phone application by patients.
Measured: 0 to 2 years
Secondary outcomes (2)
Applicability of mobile phone application
Applicability of mobile phone application is defined as cumulative minutes of APP use over the study period, which is recorded by APP itself.
Measured: 0 to 2 years
Clinical performance on HCC of the three clinical management modes
Clinical performance on HCC is defined as the proportion of early stage HCC among all detected HCC. The event of HCC is measured with self-reported HCC and the stage on the mobile phone application by patients.
Measured: 0 to 2 years

Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 4 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 26 Oct 2021. 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?

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Yuanyuan Kong, PhD (86-10-63139364, kongyy@ccmu.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Patient compliance to the standardized semi-annual follow-up (time frame: 0 to 2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
