Frail Elders clinical trials

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.

Evaluation of the Singapura Program of All Inclusive Care for the Elderly (SingaPACE) Demonstration Project

SingaPACE

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

This is a RCT studying the effectiveness of the Singapore Program for All Inclusive Care for the Elderly (SingaPACE) demonstration project over a 36 month period. SingaPACE is modelled on the US PACE home and community based service that acts as an alternative to institutional care. The comparator is best referrals for care as currently arranged through the Agency for Integrated Care (AIC) and referred by medical social workers. This research aims to determine how the SingaPACE model of health and social care affects use of emergency and acute care hospital services, institutional care, the quality of life (QOL) and satisfaction of the participants aged 60+ and their caregivers. The hypotheses to be tested are: H01: The elderly in SingaPACE will have fewer admissions to accident & emergency (A&E) hospitalization than the elderly who are not in SingaPACE. H02: The elderly in SingaPACE will have fewer admissions to acute care hospitalization than the elderly who are not in SingaPACE. H03: The elderly in SingaPACE will delay first admission to institutionalized nursing home care more than the elderly who are not in SingaPACE. H04: The elderly in SingaPACE clients will have a higher QOL compared to the elderly who are not in SingaPACE. H05: Caregivers of the elderly in SingaPACE will have a lower care-giving burden compared to caregivers of the elderly who are not in SingaPACE.
