About this study

Official title: Effectiveness of Team Intervention Over 12 Months in Reducing Modifiable CVD Risk Factors on Framingham 10yr Risk Scores Outcomes in HIV-1 Subjects on Antiretroviral Therapy

This is a cohort study which follows two groups of participants over a 12 months period. One group will access a team approach to care with the aim of reducing their cardiovascular disease (CVD) risks from a team of doctors, nurses and health care professionals. The other group will continue to access standard care from their treating doctor. Both groups will have CVD risk score evaluated after a 12 month period.

The team care approach will involve specific tests to measure CVD risk as well as smoking cessation, exercise and dietary advice and support, including monitoring such as blood pressure and cholesterol levels

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • ControlOther

    GPs managing matched control patients allocated usual care will be unaware of the details of the intervention arm and asked to apply their usual pattern of patient visits and treatment strategies to achieve optimal reduction of CVD risk.

  • Intervention GroupOther

    Patients randomised to the intervention group will follow an intensive 52 week period using a clinical protocol aimed to manage CVD risk in HIV individuals with the use of regular visits to a nurse led CVD risk management clinic, within a multi disciplinary approach to care with the involvement of treating physicians, nurses, dieticians, smoking cessation advisors and an exercise physiologist or personal trainer with the aim to reach their individualised CVD risk target.

What is being measured

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

  1. The primary outcome measure is percentage of patients with a reduction of Framingham risk score of at least 10% at week 52.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Intervention Group in people with HIV-1 Infection and Cardiovascular Disease, run by Holdsworth House Medical Practice at 1 site in Australia.

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 9 inclusion and 14 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 12 May 2015. 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 Australia. 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?

The primary outcome measure is percentage of patients with a reduction of Framingham risk score of at least 10% at week 52. (time frame: 12 months). 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 12 May 2015.
