Clinical Trial Summary

This is a feasibility, randomised controlled trial (RCT) of a person-centred care planning intervention involving patients recently diagnosed with a poor prognosis cancer who are starting a palliative oncology treatment in a Scottish regional cancer centre.


Clinical Trial Description

This study will evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of an early 'palliative care' intervention consisting of anticipatory care planning coordinated in primary care that is systematically triggered when patients with poor prognosis gastrointestinal cancers start palliative oncology treatment. Patients will be identified and invited to participate during their assessment and treatment planning by the cancer care clinicians. A screening log will record eligible cases. Patients who consent will be randomised to receive a letter about the benefits of early anticipatory care planning to take to their preferred general practitioner to help trigger earlier support by their primary care team. Control patients receive usual care. All study patients will be asked to complete 3 questionnaires (EuroQol EQ-5D-5L (full title of tool), ICECAP Supportive Care Measure (full title of tool), and CollaboRATE (full title of tool) for shared decision-making) at baseline, 6, 12, 24 and 48 weeks. A purposive sub-sample of patients, family carer and general practitioner (GP) triads will be invited for interview at around 6 and 20 weeks to explore their experiences of trial participation, their illness and care. Health service use will be recorded including hospital admissions, oncology treatment, palliative care referral, time and place of death or survivorship. ;
