Lupus and Observance (LUPOBS)

July 31, 2019 updated by: University Hospital Center of Martinique

A poor therapeutic observance is described between 3 and 76% cases in systemic lupus. It is associated with an increased risk of relapses, hospitalizations, morbidity and poor renal prognosis.

New treatment protocols exist and are indicated in second intention in case of good compliance. An assessment of therapeutic adherence is therefore essential.

Patients with systemic lupus diagnosed for at least 6 months, or skin lupus, who have been prescribed with Plaquenil (hydroxychloroquine), will be included in the study.

The study primary objective is to determine risk factors for non-observance

The secondary objectives are to:

  • Measure the observance rate of patients with systemic lupus in Martinique.
  • Describe the parameters that influence observance: evaluation of the disease and associated comorbidities, psychosocial assessment, assessment of the doctor-patient relationship, evaluation of the disease representations.

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.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

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

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

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
The primary outcome measure is based on a blood dosage of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ)
Time Frame: Reflects the Plaquenil intake during the 40 previous days

The HCQ dosage is assayed on whole blood (6ml) by high-pressure liquid chromatography performance, reproducible and inexpensive method. Only one laboratory centralizes the sampling.

A dosage below 200 ng/ml or 0.2 mg/l defines a non-observing patient within the 40 days above.
Reflects the Plaquenil intake during the 40 previous days

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
Patients considered as observing and non-observing will be compared according to the activity of the disease
Time Frame: 40 days
Activity of the disease : Systemic lupus considered as active for a SELENA-SLEDAI score ≥ 6
40 days
Patients considered as observing and non-observing will be compared according to number of prescribed medication
Time Frame: 40 days
40 days
Patients considered as observing and non-observing will be compared according to the presence of anxiety and/or depressive disorders
Time Frame: 40 days
Presence of anxiety and/or depressive disorders, according to the Hospital Anxiety And Depression Scale (HAD), a score > to 10
40 days

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
