An interventional study of CPATCH intervention to support statin adherence in Statin Therapy and Adherence, sponsored by University of Saskatchewan. Status unknown at 1 site in Canada. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2012-01-12.
Sponsored by University of Saskatchewan · Not applicable, Interventional, and Health services research
Despite proven benefits in reducing morbidity and mortality, many patients become nonadherent to statin therapy within the first year of starting. Due to their accessibility and frequent patient contact, pharmacists are well-positioned to improve medication adherence.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a simple intervention by community pharmacists can improve statin adherence in new statin users.
University of Saskatchewan is the lead sponsor of 237 studies on the registry; 33 are open to participants now.
Counted across the registry records on this site, refreshed daily.
Inclusion Criteria:
All patients receiving statins from pharmacies allocated to the pharmacist intervention arm of the study
Behavioral: CPATCH intervention to support statin adherence
Pharmacies not allocated to the intervention arm will serve as the control. They received no training on the CPATCH intervention and provide usual care to patients at their pharmacy.
Routine identification of new statin users (first year of therapy), consistent assessment of barriers to adherence at every dispensation for these patients, reassurance about efficacy and safety, and proactive response to identified adherence barriers.
Mean statin adherence among all eligible new users of statin medications with at least 6 months of follow-up from index prescription
All statin dispensations are captured by the prescription drug plan database. Mean adherence will be measured using the proportion of days covered (sum of days supply for statin prescriptions during study period divided by the number of days of observation). PDC will be adjusted for any days subject was hospitalized during study period.,
Time frame: 6 months
Proportion of new statin users with adherence greater than or equal to 80%
Time frame: 6 months
Persistence with statin use among patients with a minimum of 12 months of follow-up
Time frame: 6 months
