About this study

Selection of a treatment strategy for patients with symptoms due to coronary artery disease requires consideration of patient preferences. In current clinical practice, patient preferences for treatment may not be known prior to diagnostic coronary angiography. The investigators will test an internet-based shared decision-making tool which will provide education and solicit preference information prior to angiography. The investigators seek to determine if this tool can accurately assess patient preferences, and if these preferences will lead to a change in clinical management.

Read the detailed description

Selecting a treatment strategy for patients with symptomatic coronary artery disease (CAD) requires integrated consideration of symptom burden, patient preferences, and practice guidelines. In many clinical scenarios, there is equipoise regarding the need to revascularize (percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) vs. medical management) and/or the type of revascularization (PCI vs. bypass surgery). Patients may have minimal direct input in the decision to proceed to a revascularization procedure, especially in the case of ad hoc PCI.

There is little guidance in the literature regarding strategies to improve patient participation in revascularization decisions. There is no shared decision-making tool to provide accessible information to the interventional cardiologist prior to PCI. An educational program that provides basic information regarding CAD and revascularization procedures could lead to improved patient knowledge and informed participation in these critical decisions. A clinical survey that assesses patient symptom burden and preferences could provide valuable information to physicians at the time of angiography. The investigators aim to test a clinical tool that addresses both of these needs and can be administered in the pre-procedure area immediately prior to angiography. If successful, this tool could lead to greater informed patient participation in revascularization procedures and improved patient satisfaction.

First, the investigators will conduct a pre-post analysis. The first 100 enrolled patients will undergo usual care without the use of the decision-making tool. Surveys prior to angiography and at 3 months will test knowledge and decisional self-efficacy. Subsequently, 200 patients will utilize the decision-making tool and will complete the same surveys. Comparison of these groups will test the ability of the decision-making tool to improve knowledge about CAD and accurately assess preferences.

Among the 200 patients utilizing the decision-making tool, patients will be randomly assigned to have, or not have, their preferences shared with the interventional cardiologist at the time of catheterization. This randomized portion of the study will test the impact of patient preferences on treatment decisions.

What participants receive

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

  • Decision-making tool for coronary artery disease treatmentOther

    A brief internet-based tool will provide education about coronary artery disease and assess patient preferences regarding treatment options (medical management, percutaneous coronary intervention, or coronary artery bypass graft). This information will be provided to the treating interventional cardiologist at the time of coronary angiography in the treatment group.

What is being measured

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

  1. Concordance of patient preference with delivered treatment

    Among patients with significant coronary artery disease on diagnostic angiography, the percentage of subjects with delivered therapy (medical management, percutaneous coronary intervention, coronary artery bypass graft) identical to preferences expressed prior to angiography.

    Measured: 3 months

  1. Knowledge

    Performance on a 6-item knowledge questionnaire

    Measured: Within 2 hours of angiography

  2. Knowledge

    Performance on a 6-item knowledge questionnaire

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Decision-making tool for coronary artery disease treatment in people with Coronary Artery Disease and Angina Pectoris, run by Duke 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 1 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 3 Aug 2016. 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?

Concordance of patient preference with delivered treatment (time frame: 3 months). 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 NCT02272062, 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 3 Aug 2016.
