What is being measured

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

  1. To characterize the natural history of disease in patients living with chronic neurological diseases including ADRD, MCI, PD, or MS

    A detailed analysis of available demographics (age, race, sex, country of birth, insurance status), medications, co-morbidities, and medical history from sites across the US will inform the profile for this patient population. Data from retrospective and prospectively collected medical records will be curated and analyzed to characterize disease natural history and current treatment paradigms. These data may also establish incidence rates of events of special interest. Collection of prospective medical records for each patient enables the continuation of these analyses longitudinally for changes and progression. Part of the characterization of disease or living with a chronic disease may also be informed by patient reported outcome (PRO) measures and care partner surveys.

    Measured: 15 Years

  2. To assess safety and effectiveness of disease treatments and treatments for complications of patients receiving various treatments, effectiveness of treatment, and medical events that develop while receiving treatment for ADRD, MCI, PD, or MS.

    The study will evaluate the characteristics of patients receiving various treatments, effectiveness of treatment, and medical events that develop while receiving treatment for ADRD, MCI, PD, or MS. Interval disease and medical events may vary depending on the patient's stage and type of disease and extent of co-morbidities. The progression of pre-existing co-morbidities and variances across populations will also be evaluated.

    The type, dose and duration of disease-specific therapies will be closely followed with a goal of monitoring treatment paradigms and various combination regimens for clinical response and disease stabilization/progression.

    Measured: 15 Years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. To evaluate provider management practices in the treatment of patients living with ADRD, MCI, PD, or MS

    Health care provider type, clinic setting, reason for initiating/not initiating/adjusting dosing of treatments, reason for discontinuing/switching treatments, and monitoring outcomes on and off treatment, will be captured as available in the provided EHR and/or through linked data. Disease-specific quality measures will be selected and evaluated

    Measured: 15 Years

  2. To evaluate longitudinal and patient and care partner reported outcomes in patients with ADRD, MCI, PD, or MS, including care partner burden and quality of life.

    Longitudinal clinical outcomes and disease progression will be assessed. Self and proxy-reported patient health measures collect information directly from patients or their informants to measure physical, mental, and social health. These measures can help clinicians better understand how the disease state and/or various treatments affect what patients are able to do and the symptoms they experience beyond what is typically derived and reported in the EHR as part of traditional clinical evaluations. The information can also be used to help patients make informed decisions about their healthcare and treatment options. Care partner surveys can help define the prevalence and needs of care partners who provide support and care to people living with ADRD, MCI, PD, and MS.

    Measured: 15 Years

  3. 3. To select and evaluate quality of care measures for patients living with ADRD, MCI, PD, or MS

    1. Identify deficiencies and best practices in care of patients living with neurological diseases
    2. Develop a technology infrastructure to evaluate quality measures to support clinicians and clinical decision making

    Measured: 15 Years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Neurological Diseases or Conditions and Dementia of Alzheimer Type, run by Target PharmaSolutions, Inc..

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 5 inclusion and 13 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Nov 2024. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

To characterize the natural history of disease in patients living with chronic neurological diseases including ADRD, MCI, PD, or MS (time frame: 15 Years). The study lists 2 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 20 Nov 2024.
