About this study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of pharmaceutical care interventions in the ambulatory hemodialysis patients over a one-year period. Cost containment occurs through pharmaceutical care interventions designed to identify and ameliorate drug-related problems (DRPs), improve the cost-effectiveness of therapeutic regimens and prevent hospitalizations.

Read the detailed description

Approximately 350,000 end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients in the United States utilized over $17.9 billion Medicare dollars in 1999. The ESRD population and cost is projected to double by 2010. ESRD patients have a mean of 5 comorbidities per patient and are prescribed a median of eight medications. The average monthly medication cost per patient is approximately $1,200.00. For every dollar spent on medication an additional $1.77 is spent on drug-related problems (DRPs). Dialysis patients are at high risk for DRPs. It is unknown if continued pharmacist intervention in hemodialysis patients will improve patient care, reduce medication utilization and cost, and prevent hospitalization as seen in other populations. The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of continued pharmacist intervention in ambulatory hemodialysis patients.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Behavioral Patient care in people with End Stage Renal Disease, run by University of New Mexico.

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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Mar 2024. 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?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Reduction in at home medications (time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year). 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 13 Mar 2024.
