PatientSpot Formerly Known as ArthritisPower

Study Purpose

Patient Power is a patient research network and database (registry) to collect prospective information about demographics, self-reported diagnoses and medications, and willingness to participate in research from participants with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), spondyloarthritis (SpA), other musculoskeletal conditions, chronic neurological conditions like migraine, chronic pulmonary conditions like Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), asthma, autoimmune dermatological conditions such as psoriasis, and other chronic inflammatory or immune-mediated conditions. In addition, since patients with chronic conditions often have other co-morbidities like cardiovascular health and obesity-related metabolic disorders, these conditions will also be included. Participants will provide information from their smartphones or personal computers. The information will be used by researchers and clinicians to help patients and their providers make better, more informed decisions about treatment of chronic conditions.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

Yes
Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT03840928
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Additional Details

Patient Power is a patient research network and database (registry) to collect prospective information about demographics, self-reported diagnoses and medications, and willingness to participate in research from participants with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), spondyloarthritis (SpA), other musculoskeletal conditions, chronic neurological conditions like migraine, chronic pulmonary conditions like Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), asthma, autoimmune dermatological conditions such as psoriasis, and other chronic inflammatory or immune-mediated conditions. In addition, since patients with chronic conditions often have other co-morbidities like cardiovascular health and obesity-related metabolic disorders, these conditions will also be included. Participants will provide information from their smartphones or personal computers. The information will be used by researchers and clinicians to help patients and their providers make better, more informed decisions about treatment of chronic conditions. We have established a governance structure with highly engaged patients and stakeholders who will serve on a Patient Governor Group (PGG) and Research Advisory Board (RAB) to ensure Patient Power participant privacy and transparency about research activities. Online tools and a mobile application at me securely capture patient data. The software tools built include real-time connection to the adaptive version of NIH Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) instruments capturing patient reported data that minimizes participant burden and allows participants to immediately view their scores if they choose. The Patient Power App runs on both web browsers and smartphones with data stored in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud, not on a participant's smartphone or browser. The App has four key design pillars:

  • (1) Patient engagement, community integration and education by incorporating GHLF bloggers and chronic disease news and social media engagement to the app for education, support and research findings to be shared directly and immediately with those living with registry-eligible chronic conditions; (2) Personal longitudinal health and medication tracking by providing participants' access to their actively contributed patient reported outcome (PRO) and other health-related data (e.g. current and past medications).
We will use messaging to encourage participants to regularly update their information, including medication information. For example, we may remind participants to contribute their medication information with the following message: "You don't have any active medications. You can record your medications in Patient Power. By adding your active medications, you will be able to see how your symptoms have changed since starting a new medication. Click here to start entering medications".
  • (3) Health care decision making by allowing App users to share health tracking reports at their discretion with their providers or caregivers; and (4) Research opportunities by providing a platform where an array of new research opportunities can be browsed by participants to combat chronic diseases.
The combination of solid governance structure with well-developed policies and procedures, engaged patient community, collaborative relationships with many research partners and our innovatively convenient and mobile approach to data collection make Patient Power a unique and powerful patient-led initiative in chronic disease research.
