About this study

Official title: A Pilot Randomized Trial of a Decision Aid in CTO Patients

The aim of this study is to assess the feasibility and validity of patient-level randomization (vs. cluster randomization) in pilot trials of decision aid efficacy.

Read the detailed description

This is a parallel, 2-arm, randomized trial to compare an intervention group receiving CTO Choice (decision aid) to a control group receiving usual primary care. 100 patients and 60 cardiologists will be randomize by computer. The investigators will measure the effect of CTO Choice on five outcomes: (a) patient knowledge regarding CTO of PCI or medication (risk and benefit); (b) quality of the decision making process for both the patient and clinician; (c) patient and clinician acceptability and satisfaction with the decision aid; (d) rate of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or medication; and (e) trial processes (e.g., ability to recruit participants, collect patient outcomes). To capture these outcomes, the investigators will use patient and clinician surveys following each visit and video recordings of the clinical encounters. These video recordings will also allow us to determine the extent to which clinicians exposed to the decision aid were able to recreate elements of the decision aid which control patients.

  3. rate of PCI or medication

    Measured: within the first 3 days after survey

  4. ability to recruit participants

    Measured: within the first 3 days after survey

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing decision aid in people with Coronary Occlusion, run by The First Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University.

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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Nov 2016. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Rongchong Huang, M.D. (+86 411 83635963 ext. 7127, rchuang@dlmedu.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

patient knowledge regarding CTO of PCI or medication (risk and benefit) (time frame: within the first 3 days after survey). 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 15 Nov 2016.
