Link to the current ClinicalTrials.gov record.

Condition(s) targeted: Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in Remission

Intervention: behavioral intervention (Behavioral); mercaptopurine (Drug); standard follow-up care (Procedure); compliance monitoring (Behavioral); questionnaire administration (Other); laboratory biomarker analysis (Other)

Phase: Phase 3

Status: Recruiting

Sponsored by: Children's Oncology Group

Official(s) and/or principal investigator(s):
Smita Bhatia, MD, MPH, Principal Investigator, Affiliation: Children's Oncology Group

Summary

This randomized phase III trial studies compliance to a mercaptopurine treatment intervention compared to standard of care in younger patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in remission. Assessing ways to help patients who have acute lymphoblastic leukemia to take their medications as prescribed may help them in taking their medications more consistently and may improve treatment outcomes.

Clinical Details

Official title: A Comprehensive Approach to Improve Medication Adherence in Pediatric ALL

Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Supportive Care

Primary outcome:

Proportion of patients with adherence rate greater than or equal to 95% to mercaptopurine as measured by MEMS®

Proportion of patients with adherence rate greater than or equal to 95% to mercaptopurine as measured by red cell TGN levels

Secondary outcome:

Proportion of adherence patients by sociodemographic and psychosocial variables

Mediating effect of health beliefs/ knowledge on change in adherence with intervention

Impact of IP vs. EDU on risk of relapse in children with ALL

Detailed description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the impact of interventions proposed in intervention program (IP) vs. education alone (EDU) on adherence to oral 6MP (mercaptopurine) in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Adherence will be measured by: i) Medication Event Monitoring Systems (MEMS) (primary measure of adherence to oral 6MP, providing real-time data; ii) red cell thioguanine nucleotide (TGN) levels (providing data on chronic, systemic 6MP exposure). SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. Examine the modifying effect of sociodemographic and psychosocial variables, and the mediating effect of health beliefs/ knowledge on change in adherence with intervention. II. Determine impact of IP vs. EDU on risk of relapse of ALL. OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 intervention arms. ARM I: Patients receive the Patients Supply Kit containing an electronic pill monitoring system, a MEMS® medication bottle with TrackCap™ with standard resistant cap, and written instructions for the patient and pharmacist. Parents and/or caregivers are also trained to supervise patients' intake of the medication. Beginning on day 1, patients start using the MEMS® medication bottle with TrackCap™. Clinical research assistants contact patients and parents by telephone the next day to confirm that TrackCap™ is being used, to identify any obstacles, and to determine solutions. Beginning on day 29, patients and caregivers view an interactive multimedia educational program on-line or via DVD. Patients also receive a customized electronic mercaptopurine schedule and automated customized text message reminders delivered via cellular phone or web-based interface. Patients and caregivers are instructed to return the MEMS® medication bottle with TrackCap™ to the clinic by day 141. ARM II: Patients receive the usual standard of care and the mercaptopurine from the MEMS® medication bottle with TrackCap™ as patients in arm I. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 6 months for 5 years and then annually until 10 years from diagnosis.
