NCT ID: NCT01709097 Completed - Clinical trials for Medication Adherence

Compliance/Adherence After Kidney Transplant, With or With Out Med-O-Wheel™.

C/A
Start date: June 2011
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

Background: Adherence to the immunosuppressive drug regimen is critical to the outcome after an organ transplant. Patients need to take their prescribed medications and attend their appointments with the doctor. Based on previous studies in other European countries, the cost of non-compliance after organ transplantation in Sweden is >SEK 35 million/year. Patients who lose their graft both lose quality of life and have decreased expected survival; moreover, retransplantation may be hampered by new HLA antibodies. Question: The primary question is whether Med-O-Wheel™ can improve compliance to the prescribed medication regimen in renal transplant patients. Methods and materials: All kidney transplant patients at Karolinska University Hospital, Huddinge, will be given information about the study and will then be asked to participate. Participants will be randomized into two arms, one arm with and one with out Med-O-Wheel™. The 80 included patients will be closely monitored for 1 year regarding intake of prescribed medications. Med-O-Wheel™ is an electronic medication dispenser that records the date and time of each occasion when the patient takes medications from the dispenser. It has a SIM card and text messaging capabilities. Addoz Portal™ is a web-based application that makes it possible to monitor and analyse medication intake. Each event in the medication dispenser is registered in the portal, which communicates with the care provider/support person by text message, e-mail or telephone. Significance of the study: In the future it may be possible to improve compliance in transplant patients. In particular, patients will feel secure since they will receive confirmation through the portal that they are taking their medications safely and accurately.

NCT ID: NCT01597284 Terminated - Cancer Clinical Trials

Oral Therapies in Oncology: Cognitive Function and Compliance

Start date: February 2012
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

The investigators propose to evaluate the compliance of oral cancer therapies, particularly the possible link between this observance and cognitive function of patients at initiation of treatment. To our knowledge, this study will be among the first conducted on the issue in France and is an innovative approach in the management of cancer patients. The inclusion of cognitive dysfunction is part of a comprehensive approach to improving the quality of life and fully meets the objectives of both plans cancer, including those of the axis "Living during and after cancer" highlighted in the Cancer Plan

NCT ID: NCT01544894 Completed - Clinical trials for Postmenopausal Osteoporosis

Clinical Study of Raloxifene and Strontium Ranelate in Postmenopausal Osteoporosis

Start date: September 2009
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study was to compare compliance and efficacy of raloxifene and strontium ranelate in a group of women with postmenopausal osteoporosis.

NCT ID: NCT01543438 Recruiting - Compliance Clinical Trials

Using Point-of-Care Video Prescriptions to Improve Aftercare Following Discharge From a Pediatric Emergency Department

Start date: January 2012
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this project is to develop the content and delivery platform that electronically distributes mobile video discharge education for underserved populations and to demonstrate utilization, satisfaction, and improved health outcomes.

NCT ID: NCT01498848 Completed - Compliance Clinical Trials

Effect of Cooking Oils on Whole Blood and Saliva Fatty Acids in Children in Bogota, Colombia

Start date: June 2011
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

We conducted a randomized trial to determine the effect of providing families from Bogota, Colombia, with a one month supply of one of two cooking oils, sunflower oil vs. soybean oil, on whole blood and saliva fatty acid composition of children. The aims were: 1) assess the effect of the oils on whole blood fatty acid composition in children, 2) assess the correlation between whole blood and saliva to evaluate if fatty acids measured in saliva would be adequate biomarkers of intake. The study was conducted in the context of an ongoing cohort study of school children from Bogotá, Colombia (HUM00043252). We conducted an intervention trial of 4 week duration. Participant families were randomly assigned to either sunflower oil or soybean oil. Families were visited two times during the 4 week period. We collected dietary information from the person in the household in charge of food preparation, and from the child. At the end of the intervention we collected information on whether or not they liked the oil and whether they would be willing to use it, exclusively, for two years, to assess acceptability for a longer intervention. We also collected two finger prick blood samples and two saliva/cheek cells samples from the child, at the beginning and at the end of the study, to evaluate compliance and to assess the impact of the intervention.

NCT ID: NCT00699725 Completed - Risk Factors Clinical Trials

Adherence to Gastro-protection in Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drug (NSAID) Using Patients

GADES
Start date: May 2008
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

Prospective multicentric study to evaluate the compliance of gastroprotective treatment in NSAID patients at risk of GI complications. Secondary objectives: To identify the factors associated to treatment compliance (both NSAID and PPI), to evaluate the relationship between compliance and NSAID-associated GI events

NCT ID: NCT00333463 Completed - Compliance Clinical Trials

Compliance With Once Daily Glaucoma Medication

Start date: June 2006
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

A study to examine patient compliance with once daily glaucoma medication

NCT ID: NCT00057187 Completed - Clinical trials for Substance Dependence

Improving Substance Abuse Treatment Aftercare Adherence and Outcome

Start date: n/a
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Although substance abuse treatment continuing care participation is strongly related to positive treatment outcomes, participation rates are low and few interventions have been developed that improve continuing care adherence and outcome.
