Trial Outcomes & Findings for CCCR Lupus Patient Navigator Program (NCT NCT04461158)

NCT ID: NCT04461158

Last Updated: 2025-05-04

Results Overview

Qualify of life measured by the "LupusPRO" patient-reported questionnaire administered at Baseline and 12 Months in the Intervention Group, resulting in a LupusPRO score. LupusPRO (v1.8) includes 43 items with domains of Lupus Symptoms, Lupus Medication, Physical Health, Emotional Health, Pain, Sleep, Procreation, Cognition, Body Image, Desires-Goals, Coping, Social Support and Satisfaction with Care rated on a 5 point Likert scale, where 0=None of the time/not applicable, 1= A little of the time, 2= Some of the time, 3=Most of the time, 4= All of the time, 5= Not applicable. Total scores measure health (HRQOL) and non-health related quality of life (Non HRQOL). Item scores are totaled for each domain item and the mean domain score is obtained by dividing the total score by the number of items in that domain. The mean raw domain score is transformed to scores ranging from 0 (worst QOL) to 100 (best QOL) by dividing by 4 (the number of Likert responses {5 responses

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 12 months - from baseline to 12 month visit

Population: 52 patients with SLE self identified as a minority, met inclusion / exclusion criteria, and provided informed consent to participate with the Lupus Patient Navigator Program intervention.

Qualify of life measured by the "LupusPRO" patient-reported questionnaire administered at Baseline and 12 Months in the Intervention Group, resulting in a LupusPRO score. LupusPRO (v1.8) includes 43 items with domains of Lupus Symptoms, Lupus Medication, Physical Health, Emotional Health, Pain, Sleep, Procreation, Cognition, Body Image, Desires-Goals, Coping, Social Support and Satisfaction with Care rated on a 5 point Likert scale, where 0=None of the time/not applicable, 1= A little of the time, 2= Some of the time, 3=Most of the time, 4= All of the time, 5= Not applicable. Total scores measure health (HRQOL) and non-health related quality of life (Non HRQOL). Item scores are totaled for each domain item and the mean domain score is obtained by dividing the total score by the number of items in that domain. The mean raw domain score is transformed to scores ranging from 0 (worst QOL) to 100 (best QOL) by dividing by 4 (the number of Likert responses {5 responses

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 12 months - from baseline to 12 month visit

Adherence with prescribed medical therapies will be defined as the ratio between the number of therapy-days supplied to the number of days until the prescription was refilled and compared between Lupus Patient Navigator Program (LPNP) participants and usual care patients. Medication adherence rates will be estimated by charts review and comparing these medications to pharmacy records on dates and quantities filled. Included medication classifications will include antihypertensives, immunosuppressants, Plaquenil (hydroxychloroquine), and glucocorticoids. Additionally, overall pill burden will be compared between LPNP participants and usual care patients. LPNP participants' medication diaries will be reviewed to determine self-reported adherence.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 12 months - from baseline to 12 month visit

Changes in patient-reported lupus-specific disease status (measured by the LupusPRO v1.7) over time, from Baseline, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months, compared between interventional and usual care groups will be completed at the start and end of participation. The LupusPRO is a validated, comprehensive patient reported quality of life questionnaire specific for patients with lupus. Domain areas include: lupus symptoms, cognition, physical health, pain vitality, procreation, emotional health, body image, desires-goals, social support, coping, and satisfaction with care.
