Filter by:The prospective multicenter observational cohort study will be offered consecutively to any patient with primary or secondary myelofibrosis or with Polycythemia Vera who has initiated therapy with ruxolitinib, prescribed as part of the normal course of care and completely independent of study participation. The main purpose is to assess adherence to ruxolitinib using the ARMS questionnaire. Each individual patient will be administered the questionnaire at the first convenient opportunity, regardless of when ruxolitinib is started, and again after 4, 8, 12, 24, and 48 weeks, in conjunction with drug procurement.
We tested the effect of informational postcards on improving remote monitoring adherence among Veterans with pacemakers and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators in a stepped-wedge randomized controlled trial.
The purpose of this study is to test a new weight loss intervention designed for cancer survivors who have heart disease or cardiometabolic conditions. The investigators want to determine whether this study is feasible and acceptable to participants. The investigators also want to learn more about how cancer survivors take their medications.
This is a pilot study for identifying plasma and/or urine-derived adherence/surrogate biomarker candidates for verifying Immulina™ ingestion by human volunteers (collected before and after consumption of Immulina™, a natural dietary supplement).
Given the magnitude of the epidemic in Puerto Rico, congenital Zika virus infection may have devastating complications to a significant population of children, also affecting families and society at large. This proposal takes a critical first step to ensuring that children with exposure to congenital Zika virus infection receive the follow-up care they need for optimal clinical outcomes. We anticipate that lessons learned from this study may also positively impact models for adherence to early intervention services in Puerto Rico.
Objective 1: Assess feasibility and acceptability of all protocol components of a pilot trial testing a 6-week telehealth Mediterranean ketogenic nutrition adherence (KNA) program using motivational interviewing and cognitive behavioral strategies (MI-CBT) compared to a KN information only group for older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) to prepare for a full-scale trial. Specifically, the investigators will examine the feasibility of the recruitment, retention, assessment, and intervention delivery methods. The investigators hypothesize that: 1. The study protocol will result in high patient retention (90%) and patient attendance of intervention sessions (80%), and 2. A centralized MI-CBT telehealth delivery approach will be associated with high intervention acceptability ratings from patients. Objective 2: Assess signal of initial effect of the KNA program on important clinical outcomes and adherence relative to a KN information-only condition. The investigators hypothesize that patients in the KNA condition, relative to the KN-only condition, will show: 1. higher rates of clinically significant improvements on the RBANS total scale scores, improvements in daily functioning (FSQ), and decreases in patient CAIDE risk score( (Cardiovascular Risk Factors, Aging, and Incidence of Dementia), and 2. improved adherence to KN, as evidenced by higher levels of measurable urine ketones in the KNA condition compared to the KN-only condition.
This study aims to: 1) adapt the theory-based P3 (Prepared, Protected, emPowered) app designed to improve pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) adherence, retention in PrEP clinical care, and PrEP persistence among young men who have sex with men (YMSM) in the United States for YMSM in Thailand, and 2) conduct a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and potential impact of the adapted P3-Thailand (P3-T) app.
This study evaluates the effect of Personalized Patient Engagement Plan on diabetes management in patients with at least six months of Type-2 Diabetes. The research is planned to be carried out as an experimental study with pretest-posttest control groups. Half of the participants will receive the Personalized Patient Engagement Plan; between two 2 face-to-face sessions including motivational interviews, one telephone coaching call and patient-driven home-based exercises will be conducted. Another half will receive usual care.
This study is the first that investigates the impact of a multi-component intervention combining current evidence of effective interventions with an adherence app to assess the potential benefits on productivity, neck pain, and headache.
Each year, 10.4 million patients are diagnosed with and 1.7 million people die from Tuberculosis (TB). Despite the availability of highly effective and accessible medications in the developing world where TB is endemic, the 6-18 month treatment regimen is often thwarted as patients fail to comply due to a lack of knowledge about the disease, desire for privacy, and/or stigma avoidance. Successful TB treatment is critical for reducing transmission, the selection of drug-resistant strains and treatment costs. Mobile health interventions promise to increase treatment success, especially in regions where directly observed treatment (DOT) is impractical. The most promising interventions attempted thus far employ a combination of SMS reminders and medication monitors. However, there is relatively little high-quality evidence on their impact, and what evidence there is shows mixed success. In Kenya, the burden of TB is among the highest in the world with a prevalence rate of 558 cases per 100,000 people. There is a great need for the development of alternative protocols, which reduce the costs of treatment and burden of adherence, and more effectively motivate patients to adhere to the program. A substantial and growing literature in the social sciences demonstrates the potential of behavioral interventions for generating large increases in contributions to public goods. Keheala, a feature-phone and Internet-based digital platform that uses Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD) technology to register a patient's self-verification of medication adherence alongside support and motivation, based on proven techniques from the behavioral sciences, was shown in a 1,200-patient randomized controlled trial (RCT) to reduce the unsuccessful TB treatment outcomes in Kenya by two-thirds compared to the standard of care protocol. This 15,500 patient RCT will compare Keheala's scalability, cost-effectiveness and social impact to alternative interventions across diverse regions of Kenya.
