Telemonitoring Among Patients With Multiple Myeloma (ITUMM)

July 26, 2023 updated by: Job Eijsink, Isala

The Impact of Telemonitoring on Correct Drug Use, Complications and Quality of Life Among Patients With Multiple Myeloma (MM)

A two-arm open-label parallel-group randomized controlled trial will be conducted to compare the telemonitoring (MM e-coach) with standard MM care. This study aimed to recruit 150 patients with recently diagnosed multiple myeloma (RDMM), starting first or second line of treatment. Blinded primary outcome is adherence by pill count after start of treatment at 1-3 months. Secondary outcomes are patient reported outcomes: Groninger frailty index (GFI), quality of life (EQ-5D-5L, EORTC-QLQ-C30), shared decision making (SDM-Q-9), self-reported adherence (MARS-5), single item questions, patient experiences (PREMs), adverse events, overall survival (OS) and progression free survival (PFS). Patient reported outcomes were developed and integrated in the e-coach MM to regularly measure digitized outcomes of MM patients from time of RDMM until 12 months post-diagnosis. Online measurements will be performed at baseline (0), 3, 6, 9 and 12 months.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.

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.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

Enrollment (Estimated)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.
150

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

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

  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

In order to be eligible to participate in this study, a participant (patient) must meet all of the -following criteria:

  • signed informed consent
  • >18 years
  • recently diagnosed MM patients with first-line or second-line treatment
  • able to complete patient-reported outcome measures and experiences
  • have minimal digital skills to check if they are able to interact with an e-coach
  • can read and understand Dutch.

Participants who meet any of the following criteria will be excluded from participation in this study

  • psychiatric illness requiring secondary-care intervention
  • too ill to engage with the intervention in the opinion of the clinical care team
  • no perspective of >12 months survival.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
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.
Active Comparator: Intervention group (IG)
participants of the intervention group (IG) will get a login for the e-coach MM, and access to eight modules: medication, outpatient visit preparation, periodic assessment, messaging service, alerts, information, ad hoc complaint, personal care plan. IG participants information is collected on a web platform that automatically invites enrolled patients. The e-coach MM is available 24/7.
Device: e-coach multipel myeloma (MM)
In this study we developed a multimodal patient-centered MM e-coach between September 2019 and June 2020. The content of the intervention consist of eight modules and was tested in a pilot study between June 2020 and August 2020 (F-ITUMM) 22. The e-coach is digitally managed, following three phases of the tiers of VBHC as presented in Figure 1. The tiers are classified in health status, process of recovery and sustainability of health 30. Furthermore, all medication information plus current dose and frequency per unit time are integrated in the e-coach. Reminders are sent if a session or a medication unit time is exceeded. Feasibility was tested for patients as well as healthcare professionals. The F-ITUMM trial concluded that the MM e-coach has the potential to support both recently diagnosed MM patients and healthcare professionals during MM treatment, and is a promising application to improve adherence .
No Intervention: Control group (CG)
Participants in the CG (control group) will only get a login for a 'dummy version' without the modules, besides the periodic assessments (questionnaires), at the same time as the IG
