EXTEND Trial Summary

This trial will study if mobile devices and nursing support can help people with diabetes and hypertension better manage their conditions.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with uncontrolled high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes, who have had poor management of these conditions over the past year. Participants must be able to give informed consent, speak English, use a smartphone, and have been seen at the primary clinic site in the last year. Pregnant individuals or those living in nursing homes are not eligible.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing two programs: EXTEND and EXTEND Plus. Both involve using mobile devices for monitoring health and receiving nurse support to see if they help patients better manage their diabetes and hypertension on their own.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves technology use and nurse support rather than medication, traditional side effects are not applicable. However, participants may experience issues related to technology use such as privacy concerns or stress from constant health monitoring.

EXTEND Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: EXTEND PlusExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
EXTEND Plus participants receive 4 mobile monitoring devices to facilitate chronic disease self-management (glucometer, BP cuff, scale, accelerometer). Device data are transferred to Duke University Health System (DUHS) for use as part of nurse-delivered intervention combining mobile monitoring, self-management support, and medication management. The intervention is administered by clinical registered nurses (RNs) from Duke Primary Care (DPC) or Duke Endocrinology. For the medication management component, RNs work with a study PharmD affiliated with the participant's clinic. The PharmD determines if medication changes are needed, and prescribes accordingly. The RNs deliver EXTEND Plus via scheduled telephone encounters throughout the 12-month intervention. The initial encounter frequency is every two weeks, but may be extended to every four weeks for patients achieving treatment goals.
Group II: EXTENDActive Control1 Intervention
EXTEND participants receive 4 mobile monitoring devices to facilitate chronic disease self-management (glucometer, BP cuff, scale, accelerometer). Device data are transferred to Duke University Health System (DUHS). Participants can review data and trends within the device apps and modify self-management practices accordingly. The EXTEND group continues chronic disease care with their existing providers during the study, and are instructed at baseline to address management questions via their primary clinics' established avenues (as would be the case for any patient using mobile monitoring in clinical practice).
