Patient-Centered Decision Support for Eosinophilic Esophagitis

Study Purpose

The study team is conducting this project to learn more about how patients with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) like to use and receive educational materials about treatment options and treatment decision making. This study will assess the efficacy of a decision support intervention to make decisions about treatment and disease management for patients with EoE and will assess the feasibility and acceptability of the intervention to inform future R01-level studies. The study team hypothesize that deploying the intervention will be feasible, and it will demonstrate high acceptability among EoE patients. Additionally, that patients that use the intervention (vs.#46;general education about EoE) will report greater treatment knowledge, increased readiness to choose a therapy, adherence to therapy, and follow-up.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms	No
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.	Interventional
Eligible Ages	18 Years and Over
Gender	All

More Inclusion & Exclusion Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

- New EoE patient evaluations ≥18 years old at University of Michigan (UM) that have an upcoming outpatient visit in a UM-gastroenterology or allergy & immunology clinic, - Able to speak and read English.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Prisoners and institutionalized individuals due to logistical limitations for use of a web app and follow-up interactions in these populations.

- Patients that have significant cognitive or visual impairment that limits interaction with the decision aid (DA) - Patients that are terminally ill.

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.	NCT06817213
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.	N/A

Arms & Interventions

Arms

Active Comparator: General education control group

General educational materials

Experimental: Decision support tool group

Tailored educational materials

Interventions

Behavioral: - General education control

Participants will complete an online survey before reviewing education material for eosinophilic esophagitis, prior to patient's clinical physician's appointment (this appointment is a standard of care visit). Participants will complete a follow-up survey approximately 3 months after the clinic appointment.

Behavioral: - Decision support tool

Participants will complete an online survey before reviewing tailored educational materials for eosinophilic esophagitis prior to patient's clinical physician's appointment (this appointment is a standard of care visit). The intervention is a tailored, electronic decision support intervention with a patient-facing decision aid (DA) with three components-EoE knowledge/education, values clarifications, and communication. Tailored feedback from the patient will be given to the patient's provider prior to the visit to facilitate shared decision-making in the visit. Participants will complete a follow-up survey approximately 3 months after the clinic appointment.
