Improving Total Knee Arthroplasty Dissatisfaction Through a Personalized Approach Focusing on PROMs Phenotypes

Study Purpose

This study is a randomized controlled trial to assess whether the implementation of a TKA Personalized Outcome Prediction Tool to set expectation, in addition to targeted interventions to address patients with poor baseline mental health and poor physical function, improves satisfaction at 1-year (when compared to standard of care).

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.

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.

NCT06298721
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

The potential candidates for the study are patients scheduled for primary TKA. Scheduled patients will be sent an invitation letter detailing the study's objectives and design. Should they choose to take part, individuals will be requested to utilize MyChart for the completion of PROMs. The information gathered from these PROMs will play a pivotal role in assessing their suitability for inclusion in the study. Subsequently, once deemed eligible, our coordinator will arrange a convenient session to meticulously review and facilitate the signing of the informed consent form (enrollment visit). This enrollment visit will take place approximately 2-3 months prior to the scheduled surgery. Subsequently, enrolled patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to: i) Standard of Care ii) Standard of Care + TKA Personalized Outcome Prediction Tool (Mental Health Screening/Intervention & Physical Therapy Pre-surgery Assessments/Intervention) TKA Personalized Outcome Prediction Tool aids in setting expectations for surgery and the results (calculated from patient information and baseline PROMs) will be provided and discussed with the patients by the surgeon. The primary outcome of the study will be the proportion of patients who fail treatment, defined as patients who answer "no" to the PASS anchor question at 1-year postoperative. The treatment and control groups will be compared using a chi-square test between the randomized groups with p=0.05 as the threshold for statistical significance. We will follow the intent-to-treat principle, and patients assigned to the treatment/intervention arm will be analyzed as such regardless of his/her compliance with the intervention.

Arms & Interventions

Arms

Active Comparator: Standard of Care TKA

Patients scheduled to undergo TKA at Cleveland Clinic will follow the standardized TKA Care Pathway as part of Standard of care. Patients enter the TKA care path after consenting to undergo TKA for symptomatic knee pain that has not relieved with nonoperative measures. They stay in the care path until 90-days after the operation is complete. The TKA care path guides the care delivered through the preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative phases.

Experimental: Standard of Care TKA + Personalized Outcome Prediction Tool with targeted interventions

Patients who are identified to have a TKA PROMs phenotype which includes lower than median scores for VR-12 MCS will be further screened for: Distress ➔ using the NCCN Distress Thermometer (DT) Depression ➔ using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 Those patients with a score ≥ 8 on the DT, or a score ≥ 10 on the PHQ-9, or any response other than 0 to question 9 on the PHQ-9 will have a consult with Psychiatry and Behavioral Science to determine a mental health diagnosis. Patients who are identified to have a TKA PROMS phenotype which includes lower than median scores for KOOS-PS (score of =<51.5) will be scheduled for a 4 to 8 week intervention of pre-rehabilitation. All patients who undergo the PT intervention will have a an assessment before and after the rehab TKA.
