The overarching goal of the proposed research is to prepare the clinical pharmacist intervention for sustainable implementation and dissemination. Because the effectiveness of the intervention has already been demonstrated in a NIH Stage Model IV trial, the investigators propose an Effectiveness-Implementation Type 3 Hybrid design, in which the primary focus is on testing different implementation methods, while secondarily observing clinical effects. The investigators' overarching hypothesis is to identify the most impactful elements of a behavioral theory-informed recruitment approach, which can be replicable across clinical settings.
Accordingly, the investigators propose to perform testing of a behaviorally-informed recruitment approaches in a community-based setting. Like the previous Tele-Pharmacy Intervention to Improve Treatment Adherence (STIC2IT) trial (NCT02512276), participants will be English or Spanish speaking adults ≥18 years of age identified through the electronic health record (EHR) as having poor disease control and/or poor medication adherence for diabetes. The primary care physicians of eligible patients identified through the EHR will be contacted to opt-out any patients they wish not to be included. Patients will then be randomized to each of the following conditions, such that there will be 8 total arms: (1) inclusion of a mailer primer (yes/no), (2) the most successful recruitment letter from the preliminary study using prospect theory (versus the control letter), and (3) intensity of the intervention outreach (4 calls vs. 2 calls). The investigators plan to enroll 584 participants who meet the inclusion criteria, with 73 patients per each of the 8 study arms.
Patients across all arms who agree to be scheduled will receive an appointment with one of the clinical pharmacists within the established BMC pharmacist program. The primary outcome will be completion of a clinical pharmacist appointment within 8 weeks after randomization. Key secondary outcomes will include scheduled visit rates, no-show rates for scheduled appointments, medication adherence over the 3-month follow-up, and clinical outcomes, including HbA1c levels measured using EHR data in the 3 months after randomization. The medication adherence and clinical outcomes will be used for the Aim 2 evaluation.

We started Power when my dad was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, and I struggled to help him access the latest immunotherapy. Hopefully Power makes it simpler for you to explore promising new treatments, during what is probably a difficult time.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do clinical trials pay?
Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.How do clinical trials work?
After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length is 12 months.How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?
Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?
The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.Do I need to be insured to participate in a medical study ?
Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.What are the newest clinical trials ?
Most recently, we added Behavioral Interventions for Diabetes to the Power online platform.Popular Searches
