Chronic Kidney Diseases Clinical Trial
Official title:
Telemonitoring and Case Management for Hypertensive and Remote-dwelling Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease - The Telemonitoring for Improved Kidney Outcomes Study (TIKO): A Clinical Research Protocol
Background: Hypertension, together with poorly controlled blood pressure (BP) are known risk factors for kidney disease and progression to kidney failure as well as increased cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality. Several studies in patients without kidney disease have demonstrated the efficacy of home BP telemonitoring (HBPT) for BP control. Objective: The primary aim of this study is to assess the mean difference in systolic BP (SBP) at 12 months, from baseline in remote dwelling patients with hypertension and chronic kidney disease (CKD) in Northern Alberta, Canada, comparing HBPT + usual care versus HBPT + a case manager. Other secondary objectives, including cost-effectiveness and acceptability of HBPT as well as occurrence of adverse events will also be assessed. Methods Design: This study is designed as a pragmatic randomized controlled trial (RCT) of HBPT plus clinical case management compared to HBPT with usual care. Setting: Peace River region in Northern Alberta Region, Canada. Patients: Primary care patients with CKD and hypertension. Measurements: Eligible patients will be randomized 1:1 to HBPT + BP case management versus HBPT + usual care. In the intervention arm, BP will be measured 4 times daily for 1 week, with medications titrated up or down by the study case manager until guideline targets (systolic BP [SBP]: <130mmHg) are achieved. Once BP is controlled, (i.e., to guideline-concordant targets), this 1-week protocol will be repeated every 3 months for 1 year. Patients in the control arm will also follow the same BP measurement protocol, however, there will be no interactions with the case manager; they will share their BP readings with their primary care physicians or nurse practitioners at scheduled visits. Limitations: Potential limitations of this study include the relatively short duration of follow-up, possible technological pitfalls, and need for patients to own a smartphone and have access to the internet to participate. Conclusions: As this study will focus on a high-risk population that has been characterized by a large care gap, it will generate important evidence that would allow targeted and effective population-level strategies to be implemented to improve health outcomes for high-risk hypertensive CKD patients in Canada's remote communities.

Primary | Effectiveness of telemonitoring and protocol-based case management versus usual care: | The primary outcome will be the mean difference (MD) in home SBP at 12 months, from baseline values. | Upto 12 months | |
Secondary | Proportion of patients with systolic blood pressure within guideline target, user acceptability, adverse events, cost-effectiveness and utility. | Secondary outcomes will include (i) proportion of patients with SBP within guideline target at end of the study, from baseline; (ii) Proportion of patients who remained within target SBP throughout the study; (iii) user acceptability of HBPT for BP control; (iv) cost-effectiveness and cost utility of HBPT combined with a protocol-based case management approach, and (v) adverse events reported. | upto 12 months |
