Study summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate an approach to managing patients with lupus nephritis called the Lupus Nephritis (LN) Pathway among approximately 25 patients. Activities include answering surveys and participating in an interview.

Objectives include: 1) Assess feasibility and acceptability of the LN Care Pathway, 2) evaluate user experiences to identify opportunities for improvement, and 3) explore the preliminary effect of this pathway on medication adherence and clinical outcomes.

Read the detailed description

The Lupus Nephritis (LN) Pathway is an innovative, scalable, team-based model that leverages clinical pharmacist practitioners (CPPs) to deliver frequent telemedicine visits and implement protocol-based adherence support, medication management, and remote monitoring, all with oversight from rheumatology and nephrology physicians.

The investigators will include 25 patients with lupus nephritis. The study primarily assesses the LN Care Pathway's feasibility and acceptability using surveys, exit interviews, and metrics of enrollment, retention, and engagement. The investigators will also evaluate user experiences and identify areas for improvement in exit interviews. Lastly, the investigators will explore preliminary effects on medication adherence and key clinical outcomes

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Proportion of Eligible Patients Who Consent to and Enroll in the Study

    The proportion of eligible patients who provide informed consent and enroll in the study. Feasibility of recruitment will be supported if at least 70% of eligible patients consent to and enroll.

    Time frame: From study start through completion of enrollment

  2. Proportion of Enrolled Participants Who Complete the 6-Month Lupus Nephritis Care Pathway

    The proportion of enrolled participants who complete the 6-month Lupus Nephritis Care Pathway. Feasibility of retention will be supported if at least 80% of enrolled participants complete the Care Pathway.

    Time frame: 6 months

  3. Proportion of Enrolled Participants Who Complete at Least 50% of Planned Visits

    The proportion of enrolled participants who complete at least 50% of planned telehealth visits during the 6-month Lupus Nephritis Care Pathway. Feasibility of participant engagement will be supported if at least 75% meet this threshold.

    Time frame: 6 months

  4. Feasibility of the Lupus Nephritis Care Pathway as Measured by the Feasibility of Intervention Measure

    The Feasibility of Intervention Measure is a 4-item measure of perceived feasibility. Each item is rated on a 5-point scale from 1 to 5, with higher scores indicating greater feasibility. The mean score across items will be calculated.

    Time frame: 6 months

  5. Acceptability of the Lupus Nephritis Care Pathway as Measured by the Acceptability of Intervention Measure

    The Acceptability of Intervention Measure is a 4-item measure of perceived acceptability. Each item is rated on a 5-point scale from 1 to 5, with higher scores indicating greater acceptability. The mean score across items will be calculated.

    Time frame: 6 months

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
