Self-Management Assistance for Recommended Treatment (SMART) Portal (SMART)

July 18, 2017 updated by: Children's Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati
The purpose of the study is to develop, evaluate, and optimize an interactive website (the SMART portal). The SMART portal will use IBD-specific and general assessments and interventions to reduce the burden of common barriers to treatment adherence and enhance self-management skills. This study aims to build and revise the SMART portal according to feedback and testing from participants.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Detailed Description

The study consists of three phases for development and evaluation of the SMART portal. Phase 1 is the development of online assessments and intervention components. There will be no participant interaction with the portal during Phase 1. Phase 2 will consist of one, individual interview with patients, caregivers, and clinicians/nurses to interact with a portal prototype and provide feedback. Phase 3 will contain an open trial for patients and caregivers with baseline, 2-6 months interacting with the portal and progressing through applicable intervention components, and post-treatment. Patient test data will also be loaded into the portal during Phase 3 for clinicians/nurses to interact with for 2-6 months. Feedback from all users will be collected at post-treatment for optimization of the portal.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

11 years to 18 years (Child, Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Patients, caregivers, clinicians, and nurses will be recruited from the IBD clinic at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patient diagnosed with Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, or indeterminate colitis (collectively known as IBD)
  • Patient between 11 and 18 years of age
  • Patient prescribed at least one oral medication used to treat IBD
  • Access to the internet whether public (example, library) or private (example, home, personal)
  • English fluency for patient, caregiver, and clinician/nurse

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
Clinicians/Nurses
Clinicians and nurses who treat patients diagnosed with IBD will be recruited to interact with and use the SMART portal to provide feedback on optimization.
Patients
Patients age 11-18 years diagnosed with IBD will be recruited to interact with and use the SMART portal to provide feedback on optimization.
Caregivers
Caregivers of patients diagnosed with IBD will be recruited to interact with and use the SMART portal to provide feedback on optimization.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Medication adherence
Time Frame: Phase 3 - Approximately 2-6 months, depending upon progression through portal components
Medication adherence will be measured by pill count data provided by patients or caregivers at baseline and post-treatment during Phase 3. Phase 3 will start approximately in October 2014 and continue through March 2015.
Phase 3 - Approximately 2-6 months, depending upon progression through portal components

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Disease severity
Time Frame: Phase 3 - Approximately 2-6 months, depending upon progression through portal components
Disease severity will be measured at baseline, post-treatment, and periodically throughout the intervention as the patient logs in to view intervention materials during Phase 3. The portal will prompt the patient to complete disease severity questions throughout the intervention, but it will be dependent upon the patient actually logging into the system. Therefore, exact time points during treatment are unknown. The Pediatric Ulcerative Colitis Activity Index (PUCAI) will be used to measure disease severity for patients diagnosed with ulcerative colitis and indeterminate colitis, and the Partial Harvey Bradshaw (PHBI) will be used for patients diagnosed with Crohn's disease. Phase 3 will start approximately in October 2014 and continue through March 2015.
Phase 3 - Approximately 2-6 months, depending upon progression through portal components
Health-related quality of life
Time Frame: Phase 3 - Approximately 2-6 months, depending upon progression through portal components
The IMPACT-III will be used during baseline and post-treatment in Phase 3 to measure quality of life in patients. Phase 3 will start approximately in October 2014 and continue through March 2015.
Phase 3 - Approximately 2-6 months, depending upon progression through portal components
