Clinical Trial Summary

Adolescents with solid organ transplants have poorer outcomes than adults, and do not respond as well to post-rejection treatment. In addition to well-recognized declines in individual health-related quality of life, premature graft loss creates considerable health and economic burdens. High nonadherence rates among adolescents are believed to contribute majorly to rejection, premature allograft dysfunction and failure. Studies suggest that a telephone-based peer mentoring approach, with texting and e-communication, is a promising, practical means to promote medication adherence in adolescent solid organ transplant recipients. The study's main objectives are 1) to determine the efficacy of peer mentoring to improve medication adherence and health-related quality of life vs. usual care in adolescents and young adults with solid organ transplants, and 2) to determine the mechanisms through which peer mentoring impacts medication adherence and health-related quality of life.


Description:

The investigators will conduct a single-center Phase II randomized clinical trial in which adolescents ages 14-23 and greater 3 months post solid organ transplant will receive either a peer mentor or usual care. The investigators will assess changes in quality of life from baseline to one year post-study entry. The investigators will also examine adherence changes over the same time frame using pharmacy refill data and a questionnaire. Peer mentors will provide social support and promote subject self-efficacy primarily via e-communication. Changes in social support and self-efficacy will be measured over a one-year period.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Medication adherence The primary endpoint is medication adherence, defined by the modified Medication Adherence Module (MAM), standard deviations of immunosuppressive drug levels, percent adherence from pharmacy refill data and pill counts at 1 year. 1 year
Secondary Mentoring mechanisms The secondary endpoint is to determine the mechanisms through which peer mentoring impacts medication adherence and healthcare-related quality of life. It is hypothesized that peer mentors will provide social support which will improve subject self-efficacy. 1 year
Secondary Quality of Life Health-related Quality of Life (QL) will be measured using the Peds QL Transplant Module. 1 year
