A Clinical Study to Evaluate the Effect of Mobile Applications "My A:Care" and "Smart Coach" on the Lipid-lowering Treatment Adherence of Subjects With Dyslipidemia in Thailand

Completed

• Conditions: Dyslipidemia

• Registration Number: NCT05370703
• Lead Sponsor: Abbott

Brief Summary

A prospective, randomized, open-label, clinical study to evaluate the effect of mobile applications "My A:Care" and "Smart Coach" on the lipid-lowering treatment adherence of subjects with dyslipidemia in Thailand

Detailed Description

This is a prospective, randomized, open-label, clinical study in subjects with dyslipidemia and suboptimal adherence to their current lipid-lowering therapy in Thailand. Suboptimal adherence is defined as having \<22 points score on the Part 1 of MARS-5VA questionnaire. This questionnaire comprises 2 parts, Medication Adherence Report Scale (MARS-5) as Part 1 and two Visual Analogue Scales (VAS) as Part 2. The complete MARS-5VA questionnaire (Part 1 and 2) will be used to evaluate subject adherence to lipid-lowering therapy in the study. The Part 1 of MARS-5VA will also be used to confirm subject's eligibility at screening. Subjects who are continuing the stable lipid-lowering therapy for at least 1 month are being considered for this study. Subjects will be randomized to different types of behavior interventions using mobile applications that will be used in addition to their current standard of care (SOC) lipid-lowering therapy.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Impact of mobile applications (My A:Care and Smart Coach) on adherence to the lipid-lowering therapy in subjects with dyslipidemia using MARS-5VA questionnaire	12 weeks (± 7 days)	Adherence is measured by change from Baseline in MARS-5VA Scores at 12 Weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Impact of mobile applications (My A:Care and Smart Coach) on level of lipid control in subjects with dyslipidemia by measuring the subject's lipid profile	12 weeks (± 7 days)	Level of lipid control is measured by change from Baseline in the subject's lipid profile at 12 weeks
Impact of mobile applications (My A:Care and Smart Coach) on the subjects' perception to medications in general using BMQ-General-12 and PSM-5 Questionnaires	12 weeks (± 7 days)	Subjects' perception to medications in general measured by change from Baseline in BMQ-General-12 and PSM-5 Questionnaires at 12 weeks
Impact of mobile applications (My A:Care and Smart Coach) on the subjects' perception to medications specific to lipid-lowering therapy using BMQ-S11-Plural and MAIN Screen Questionnaires	12 weeks (± 7 days)	Subjects' perception to medications specific to lipid-lowering therapy measured by change from Baseline in BMQ-S11-Plural and MAIN Screen Questionnaires at 12 weeks
