About this study

Official title: The Design, Implementation, and Impact of Automated Patient-reported Outcome Data Collection and Adverse Event Surveillance Tool on Treatment Continuation: an Iterative Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) Approach

Engaging patients through integration of patient-reported outcome measures in routine clinical care can improve the patient experience and provide a systematic way to collect adverse event (AE) data. Collecting these data on a large scale can inform new solutions to longstanding barriers to successful treatment such as medication non-adherence.

This study evaluated whether implementing a patient-reported outcome data collection and AE surveillance tool would result in greater treatment continuation for patients receiving care on a telehealth platform. We evaluated how this data collection and surveillance tool - a short prompt for patients to provide information on treatment satisfaction and side effects - impacted the outcome of interest, treatment continuation. We tested two cycles in n=2,000 patients receiving care for erectile dysfunction on a telehealth platform using a randomized control experimental design and accounted for incidents where true randomization was not possible during implementation. The first cycle tested the tool alone, while the second cycle tested the tool in conjunction with a messaging template system that provided standardized side effect counseling.

What is being measured

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

  1. Odds of refilling prescription and percent of patients who refilled prescription for patients with an initial auto-refill plan of 1 month

    Odds of refilling prescription (logistic regression); percent of patients who refilled prescription (log rank test from Kaplan Meier curve)

    Measured: 91 days

  2. Odds of refilling prescription and percent of patients who refilled prescription for patients with an initial auto-refill plan of 3 months

    Odds of refilling prescription (logistic regression); percent of patients who refilled prescription (log rank test from Kaplan Meier curve)

    Measured: 123 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing An automated patient-reported outcome data collection and adverse event surveillance tool in people with Internet-based Intervention and Web-based Intervention, run by Ro 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 1 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 8 Jun 2023. 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?

Odds of refilling prescription and percent of patients who refilled prescription for patients with an initial auto-refill plan of 1 month (time frame: 91 days). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT05895539, 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 8 Jun 2023.
