Trial summary

The aim of this study is to examine the long-term (3-5 year post intervention) effects post individualized follow-up with an app for one year, compared to a control group that received usual care on factors related to healthy behaviour in patients post-CR. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Effect of Using a Smartphone Application to Promote Adherence to Healthy Behaviour Post-cardiac Rehabilitation: Five Year Follow-up of a Randomized Controlled Trial

The aim of this study is to examine the long-term (3-5 year post intervention) effects post individualized follow-up with an app for one year, compared to a control group that received usual care on factors related to healthy behaviour in patients post-CR.

Read the detailed description

Recently, our research group demonstrated that individualized follow-up with an app for one year post-Cardiac Rehabilitation (post-CR) significantly improved exercise capacity, exercise habits and self-perceived goal achievement compared to a control group receiving usual care. To prepare for real-world implementation of an app to promote healthy behaviour post-CR, we will investigate the long-term effects (3-5 year post intervention). The aim of this study is to examine the long-term (3-5 year post intervention) effects post individualized follow-up with an app for one year, compared to a control group that received usual care on factors related to healthy behaviour in patients post-CR. We hypothesize that patients allocated to the intervention group post-CR have internalized healthy behaviour and therefore have significantly higher exercise capacity and lower bodyweight compared to the control group, 3-5year post intervention.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Coronary Artery Disease, run by Oslo Metropolitan University at 1 site in Norway.

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 1 inclusion and 0 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 11 Sep 2023. 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 Norway. 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?

Peak oxygen uptake (time frame: 5 year post rehab). 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 NCT05697120, 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 11 Sep 2023.
