Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This will be a single-arm interventional study to test the acceptability, feasibility, and effectiveness of structured telemedicine visits to encourage lifestyle changes that will improve quality of life, disease impact, and disease activity in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA).

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Behavioral: Telemedicine
N/A

Detailed Description

The proposed trial will be embedded within clinical care. This is a 2-year interventional trial that will enroll patients with active psoriatic arthritis despite stable therapy among three centers (the University of Pennsylvania, University of Utah, and University of Oxford). The intervention employs PsOWellTM, a program that trains clinicians to utilize motivational interviewing to help patients set goals and make lifestyle/behavior changes for holistic management of psoriasis.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Interventional Telemedicine Arm

Single Arm Intervention

Behavioral: Telemedicine
The intervention will consist of two structured telemedicine visits delivered between two routine office visits and conducted by providers (nurse practitioners and clinical nurse specialists).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Acceptability [4 Months]

    Patient satisfaction as assessed by Acceptability of Intervention Measure (AIM). The range of this measure is 4-20 where higher scores indicate greater acceptability and satisfaction

  2. Effectiveness [4 Months]

    Effectiveness as measured by the Psoriatic Arthritis Impact of Disease 12-item questionnaire (PSAID-12) Survey. The range of the final PsAID-12 value is 0-10 where higher figures indicate worse status.

  3. Minimal Disease Activity [4 Months]

    Minimal Disease Activity (MDA) Composite Score. MDA measures the state of the patient's disease activity. Achievement of MDA means attaining 5/7 of the following: Swollen Joint Count (SJC) ≤1, Tender Joint Count (TJC) ≤1, Enthesitis ≤1, Psoriasis Body Surface Area (BSA) ≤3%, Patient Global Assessment ≤ 20 (0-100), Patient Pain ≤ 20 (0-100), and Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) <0.05 (0-3). It is a patient-reported and physician-assessed outcome.
