Integrated Care for Inflammatory Bowel Disease Patients in the Netherlands

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) is an invalidating disease mainly diagnosed in young people. The disease is characterized by a heterogenic phenotype and the disease course by flares and remissions. As in most chronic diseases the economic burden of IBD is important due to direct health care costs and disability. Health care reorganization for IBD patients in the Netherlands is necessary for several reasons. First chronic (sub)clinical mucosal inflammation results in irreversible bowel damage and complications and none of the presently available drugs is effective for all patients and many drugs have possible severe side effects. To prevent complications of the disease and side effects IBD should be monitored carefully. In the Netherlands however there is a shortage of gastroenterologists where the incidence of IBD is rising. Secondly evidence exists that direct involvement of health care workers, patient empowerment and integrated care can improve the outcome of chronic diseases. Thirdly many clinically relevant aspects (e.g. malnutrition) of this complex disease are not systematically followed in routine care. Finally the government demands registration of efficacy endpoints for expensive drugs in the near future. Therefore the investigators developed a web-based Telemedicine tool for IBD patients in collaboration with the Dutch IBD patient's organization (CCUVN). "myIBcoach" contains E-learning modules, monitors disease activity, disability, quality of life, adherence, infections, smoking status, side effects, stress and malnutrition on fixed time points with validated questionnaires, allows the patient to communicate with health care workers and gives feedback to the back office and the patient. A feasibility study in 30 IBD patients in 3 centres showed a high satisfaction and compliance of IBD-patients and health care workers with this telemedicine tool.

The aim of this study is to compare standard care for IBD patients in 3 hospitals with a care via the telemedicine tool myIBDcoach.

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

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.
