Comparative Effectiveness Trial of Two Supportive Cancer Care Delivery Models for Adults With Cancer

Study Purpose

This cluster-randomized comparative effectiveness trial compares a technology-based supportive cancer care (SCC) approach with a redesigned team-based supportive cancer care (SCC) approach.

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	21 Years and Over
Gender	All

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.	NCT05297734
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

Additional Details

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Greater intervention effects on health-related quality of life.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Greater intervention effects on patient activation II.

Greater satisfaction with care and decision-making

To lower acute care

V. Greater palliative care and hospice.

OUTLINE: Sites are randomized to 1 of 2 arms. ARM A: Patients receive educational materials to assist with advance care planning and symptom management through a technology-based supportive cancer care weekly during months 1-4 and every other week during months 5-12. ARM B: Patients are paired with a lay health worker who will discuss the same educational materials from ARM A either in person or by telephone discussions weekly during months 1-4 and every other week during months 5-12. All participants complete a baseline interview upon enrollment during the initial consent phone contact and then a survey at 3-, 6-and 12-months post enrollment.

Arms & Interventions

Arms

Active Comparator: Technology-based supportive cancer care

Patients receive educational materials to assist with advance care planning and symptom management through a technology-based supportive cancer care weekly during months 1-4 and every other week during months 5-12.

Experimental: Redesigned team-based supportive cancer care

Patients are paired with a health educator who will discuss the same educational materials from ARM A either in person or by telephone discussions weekly during months 1-4 and every other week during months 5-12.

Interventions

Other: - Receive technology-based supportive cancer care

All participants will receive an electronic health record message or email with standardized information provided regarding advance care planning and symptom management.

Behavioral: - Receive redesigned team-based supportive cancer care

Lay Health Workers will meet with 1:1 with participants over 12 months to discuss advance care planning, surrogate decision-makers, advance directives and physician orders for life sustaining treatment.
