About this study

Official title: Effectiveness and Cost-effectiveness of a Multicomponent Strategy to Implement a Clinical Practice Guideline and Improve Health Outcomes in People With Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Secondary objectives will be previously developed: 1) the analysis of medical practice variations along the care of SLE patients in the Canary Islands Health Service (SCS); 2) the best available scientific evidence to support the optimal development of the SADC; 3) the context and the barriers to innovation implementation in the SCS; and 4) the development of the contents for the implementation strategy, including the SADC and the automated feedback.

Methods for the main objective: The main objective will be assessed under an open, multicentric and randomized (by clusters) clinical trial, in the SCS. The multicomponent intervention will be compared to the usual procedures for CPG dissemination. The main measure will be the self-perceived activity of SLE rated by the SLAQ scale. Self-perceived health related quality of life (HRQoL) data will be obtained by means of the questionnaire EQ-5D-5L , to estimate a cost-effectiveness ratio.

Methods for secondary objectives: The rest of the objectives will be developed by a mix of quantitative and qualitative research methods to allow adapting the design, development and execution of the intervention to the characteristics of the context.

Conditions: Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Being tested: Multicomponent intervention

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Multicomponent intervention in people with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, run by Servicio Canario de Salud at 1 site in Spain.

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 2 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 22 Sep 2021. 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 Spain. 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?

Change of self-perceived activity of the SLE (time frame: 18 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 NCT03537638, which also lists 29 linked publications.

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 22 Sep 2021; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 30 Oct 2026.
