Trial summary

Management of chronic diseases, such as diabetes, relies upon the health care providers and the patients self-care. Self management programs for diabetes that target self-empowerment tools have been found to be effective in some studies, but have not typically included individuals on Medicaid.

About this study

Official title: Phase 3 Randomized Controlled Trial of the Diabetes Health Enhancement Program for Medicaid and Dual Eligibles in South King County, Washington

Management of chronic diseases, such as diabetes, relies upon the health care providers and the patients self-care. Self management programs for diabetes that target self-empowerment tools have been found to be effective in some studies, but have not typically included individuals on Medicaid.

Our goal for this trial was to observe if patients participating in such a program could decrease glycated hemoglobin levels, improve health status and improve self-care practices.

Read the detailed description

Design, Setting and Population: A Phase 3, one year prospective trial, randomized to intervention or control (usual care) with Medicaid or dual-Medicare beneficiaries, with diabetes, aged 40-85 years old residing in South King County, Washington.

Intervention: A targeted, multi-component, self-management program incorporating a stage-of-change approach to overcome barriers and facilitate life-style behavior changes to achieve patient-driven health action plans for nutrition or exercise goals.

Main Outcome Measures: Glycemic control (HbA1c), physical and mental health, self-care practices.

Recruitment Status: Completed: participants are no longer being recruited; data analysis is complete.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing DHEP in people with Diabetes, run by Robert Wood Johnson Foundation 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 4 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Feb 2006. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Reduction in glycated hemoglobin levels. 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 NCT00291590, 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 14 Feb 2006.
