Trial Outcomes & Findings for Real-life Effectiveness of the Kaletra Adherence Support Assistance (KASA) Program (NCT NCT01662336)

NCT ID: NCT01662336

Last Updated: 2018-01-29

Results Overview

Adherence was assessed by the Adherence Self-Efficacy Scale (ASES). The ASES is a 12 item tool that measures the patient's confidence to undertake treatment related activities and behaviors including medication regimen, diet and exercise. Each question is answered on a scale from 0 (cannot do at all) to 10 (certain can do). A summative score ranging from 0 to 120 was calculated, with higher scores indicating higher treatment self-efficacy. A participant was considered to have maintained adherence if the change in the ASES summative score at month 6 relative to Baseline was greater than or equal to zero. Participants who discontinued from the study or were lost to follow-up were considered non-adherent.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 6 months

Population: The intent-to treat population included all enrolled participants who received at least 1 dose of lopinavir/ritonavir; participants with missing information on the absolute change in the ASES summative score who were not discontinued from the study or lost to follow-up were excluded.

Adherence was assessed by the Adherence Self-Efficacy Scale (ASES). The ASES is a 12 item tool that measures the patient's confidence to undertake treatment related activities and behaviors including medication regimen, diet and exercise. Each question is answered on a scale from 0 (cannot do at all) to 10 (certain can do). A summative score ranging from 0 to 120 was calculated, with higher scores indicating higher treatment self-efficacy. A participant was considered to have maintained adherence if the change in the ASES summative score at month 6 relative to Baseline was greater than or equal to zero. Participants who discontinued from the study or were lost to follow-up were considered non-adherent.

Adherence was assessed by the Adherence Self-Efficacy Scale (ASES). The ASES is a 12-item tool that measures the patient's confidence to undertake treatment-related activities and behaviors including medication regimen, diet and exercise. Each question was answered on a scale from 0 (cannot do at all) to 10 (certain can do). The 12 items converge to two subscales measuring adherence integration and adherence perseverance. The adherence integration subscale score ranges from 0 to 90, with higher scores indicating higher treatment self-efficacy.

Participant quality of life (QoL) was measured by the QoL 601-2 survey, the Health Status Assessment (HSA). This survey is a brief, comprehensive measure of health-related QoL used extensively in patients with human immunodeficiency virus / acquired immune deficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS). The instrument includes 21 items assessing 8 domains of health-related quality of life including physical functioning, role functioning, social functioning, cognitive functioning, pain, energy / fatigue, mental health, and general health perception. Each domain score ranges from 0 to 100 with higher scores indicating higher quality of life.

For each participant, healthcare provider (HCP) satisfaction with the KASA program was measured by three questions assessing 1) the overall satisfaction with the KASA program, 2) subjective assessment on whether the KASA program was beneficial in maintaining adherence with HIV treatments, and 3) the likelihood of recommending KASA in the future. The scores for each question ranged from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating higher satisfaction.
