About this study

Official title: Translating Home-Based Interventions for Adolescents With Poorly Controlled TID

Adolescents with T1D and chronic poor metabolic control are at high risk for short and long-term diabetes complications and are heavy users of both medical resources and health care dollars. The purpose of the proposed study is to collaborate with a community agency to develop and test an intervention, Fit Families, that uses the core components of a previously successful home-based family treatment, but that can delivered by lower cost community health workers. If successful, Fit Families could improve health outcomes in a vulnerable population at high risk for diabetes complications, and could be translated to real-world treatment settings.

Read the detailed description

The proposed study is a planning grant in which MST will be adapted for delivery by community health workers and will be conducted in collaboration with CHASS, a community agency providing health care to underserved residents of Detroit with diabetes. The new intervention, Fit Families (FF), will be tested in a pilot randomized controlled trial in order to evaluate FF feasibility, finalize outcome measures, estimate intervention effect sizes on health outcomes (i.e., youth adherence, glycemic control, quality of life) and determine potential cost savings associated with reduced hospital admissions. These steps will allow for finalization of intervention content and other trial parameters in preparation for a larger R18 dissemination trial.

The design for the proposed study is a randomized, controlled trial using a sample of 60 adolescents. Half will be randomly assigned to the treatment intervention, Fit Families plus standard medical care, and the other half will be assigned to standard medical care alone. Families who are randomized to FF receive intensive, home-based family therapy delivered by a community health worker (CHW) for approximately six months.

Standard Medical CareNo interventionStandard medical care is provided at Children's Hospital of Michigan consistent with the standards for the care of children with T1D outlined by the American Diabetes Association.

What is being measured

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

  1. Metabolic Control: Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c)

    retrospective measure of blood glucose control, encompasses the previous 2-3 months

    Measured: Change from Baseline at 7 months, Change from Baseline at 9 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. DKA admissions and emergency room (ER) Visits: hospital information systems data extraction, Service Utilization Questionnaire (SUQ)

    The number of patient visits to acute care settings represents a significant health care cost in this high-risk population.

    Measured: Change from Baseline at 7 months, Change from Baseline at 9 months

  2. Quality of life

    44 scale item designed to tap life satisfaction, diabetes impact and diabetes related worries in adolescents.

    Measured: Change from Baseline at 7 months, Change from Baseline at 9 months

  3. Regimen Adherence: Diabetes Management Scale (DMS), Glucose Meter Downloads

    The DMS assesses a broad range of management behaviors, such as insulin management, dietary management, blood glucose monitoring, symptom response, and parent assistance/supervision. Glucose meters only assess blood glucose monitoring, but are empirically linked to metabolic control

    Measured: Change from Baseline at 7 months, Change from Baseline at 9 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Fit Families plus Standard Medical Care in people with Type 1 Diabetes, run by Wayne State University 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 6 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 2 Jun 2017. 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.

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?

Metabolic Control: Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) (time frame: Change from Baseline at 7 months, Change from Baseline at 9 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 2 Jun 2017.
