Remote Monitoring for Bladder Cancer

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Following radical cystectomy for bladder cancer, nearly two-thirds of patients experience a complication and almost a third are readmitted. Thus, intensified monitoring of this vulnerable group represents an opportunity for improved quality of care in the post-operative setting. By gathering biomarkers passively and continuously, wearable activity monitors augment remote patient monitoring. Further, they facilitate the collection of patient-reported outcomes frequently. Despite the proven impact of remote monitoring on patient care, there is limited data on the feasibility and impact of employing this technology to trigger real-time provider assessment following cystectomy. The investigators plan to conduct a randomized control trial examining such. The intervention group of participants will receive continuous biomarker monitoring via FitBits and daily patient-reported outcome assessments via connected smartphones. Abnormalities in remote data will trigger automated alerts to providers. Providers will respond in real-time to these alerts and patients will receive education materials discussing preventative measures to mitigate the main risk factors for readmissions. The investigators will evaluate the feasibility of integrating this technology into the post-operative period, as well as the impact of real-time provider attention to abnormal remote data on patient-reported outcomes and rates of readmission. The investigators hypothesize that early assessment of and intervention on remote abnormalities will promote the use of outpatient or reduced intensity therapies, such as oral antibiotics or oral hydration, thus curtailing the severity of patient symptoms, intensity of complications, and need for hospitalizations. Ultimately, this trial builds upon prior research, applying patient-centered technology to improve the quality of care following cystectomy.

While remote monitoring (RM) technology is currently available and has permitted surveillance and device assessment from any patient location, the use has been inconsistent in Canada, where only 8500 out of a potential 120 000 patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) are enrolled in this program. This technology is in widespread use worldwide for all CIEDs but in Canada, it is utilized primarily for implantable defibrillators, but not pacemakers. Whereas most of the trials were designed to evaluate the efficacy of RM in implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) patients, in the pacemaker (PM) population, there has been work performed already to demonstrate an increase in detection of frequency of adverse clinical events and a reduction in reaction time to those events by RM. Based on all the available literature, it appears that RM benefits both patients and healthcare systems. Overall, studies have demonstrated that RM can be used safely in all device patient-populations, with the exception of pacemaker-dependent patients. There have been no studies that have evaluated RM only follow up, nor have there been any studies evaluating pacemaker-dependent patients. This study that will safely assess the use of RM only, with in-clinic visits when necessary, that uses the patient-centered electronic platform developed by the Cardiac Arrhythmia Network of Canada (CANet) to perform PM follow up safely, in a more cost-effective manner.

Why Other Patients Applied

As a healthy volunteer, I like to participate in as many trials as I'm able to. It's a good way to help research and earn money.

IZ
Healthy Volunteer PatientAge: 38

I changed my diet in 2020 and I’ve lost 95 pounds from my highest weight (283). I am 5’3”, female, and now 188. I still have a 33 BMI. I've been doing research on alternative approaches to continue my progress, which brought me here to consider clinical trials.

WR
Obesity PatientAge: 58

I've tried several different SSRIs over the past 23 years with no luck. Some of these new treatments seem interesting... haven't tried anything like them before. I really hope that one could work.

ZS
Depression PatientAge: 51

My orthopedist recommended a half replacement of my right knee. I have had both hips replaced. Currently have arthritis in knee, shoulder, and thumb. I want to avoid surgery, and I'm open-minded about trying a trial before using surgery as a last resort.

HZ
Arthritis PatientAge: 78

I have dealt with voice and vocal fold issues related to paralysis for over 12 years. This problem has negatively impacted virtually every facet of my life. I am an otherwise healthy 48 year old married father of 3 living. My youngest daughter is 12 and has never heard my real voice. I am now having breathing issues related to the paralysis as well as trouble swallowing some liquids. In my research I have seen some recent trials focused on helping people like me.

AG
Paralysis PatientAge: 50
The goal of this study is to support patients with hypertension self-management using both home blood pressure monitors and digital messaging programs. The investigators will first engage patients with technology training to use home monitors, online portal websites to view their medical record information online, and texting and mobile phone applications. Then investigators will assess the effectiveness of home blood pressure monitors and enhanced patient-clinician digital communication on blood pressure control during a 12-month intervention.

Why We Started Power

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 Remote Monitoring for Bladder Cancer, Remote Blood Pressure Monitoring for High Blood Pressure and Remote Monitoring for Pacemaker Management to the Power online platform.
