Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study evaluates a collaborative care intervention in reducing depression, fatigue and pain symptoms and improving health related quality of life in hemodialysis patients. Half of participants will receive the collaborative care intervention, while the other half will receive technology delivered health education information.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

End-stage renal disease patients on hemodialysis experience substantial symptom burden with fatigue, pain and depression among the most debilitating and existing as symptom clusters. These symptom clusters can exacerbate one another, and are independent and strong predictors of poor health-related quality of life in hemodialysis patients. This study will look at the effect of a 12 week stepped care intervention on changes in depression, pain or fatigue and health related quality of life.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Patients will be randomized 1:1 to TASCCI or technology-delivered health education and undergo a 12-week intervention. Psychological and clinical outcomes will be collected at baseline, post intervention, 6 and 12 months.
Primary Study Purpose

TREATMENT

Blinding Strategy

SINGLE

Outcome Assessors
Patient reported outcomes will be administered centrally by blinded interviewers using computer-assisted telephone interviewing (CATI).

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

TASCCI

Patients randomized to TASCCI will receive a stepped-care approach of pharmaco and/or behavioral therapy for 12 weeks. The intervention will target 1 or more symptoms based on patients' report of clinical levels of each symptom and patient preference.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

TASCCI

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

TASCCI is a stepped-care collaborative care approach of pharmaco- and/or behavioral-therapy for a 12 week period. The intervention will target 1 or more symptoms based on patients' report of clinical levels of each symptom and patient preference. A trained behavioral therapist will deliver weekly video conferencing sessions during dialysis treatment.

Technology Delivered Health Education

Patients randomized to the Technology Delivered Health Education Intervention health education group will receive technology delivered health education material on topics relevant to dialysis.

Group Type OTHER

Technology Delivered Health Education Intervention

Intervention Type OTHER

The Technology Delivered Health Education Intervention will deliver weekly video conferencing sessions to deliver online educational material from the National Kidney Foundation. These sessions will be delivered by a care coordinator.
