Cancer Clinical Trial
Official title:
A Pilot Study of a Geriatric Assessment Intervention for Older Cancer Patients Receiving Chemotherapy
The purpose of this study is to determine whether information regarding GA and GA-driven interventions improves outcomes in older cancer patients receiving first-line or second-line chemotherapy by comparing rates of chemotherapy toxicity, hospitalizations, dose delays and early termination of treatment in patients with and without GA-driven interventions. The investigators will identify information that will be useful based on questionnaire responses and blood tests. These results will be used to better understand which recommendations and interventions will benefit older cancer patients. It is our hope that these tools, which are well-established at identifying areas of risk, will provide meaningful opportunities for intervention to promote your safety during cancer management. The investigators will be able to use this information to teach others on how to best care for adults aged 70 and older with cancer.
Although cancer is very common in older patients, the optimal treatment for cancer for this
subset of patients is not well established. As a result of lack of knowledge on the safety
and efficacy of chemotherapy in older adults, a significant proportion of older patients
receiving chemotherapy have toxicity. There is also little information regarding how to best
make decisions for and implement interventions to improve outcomes of older patients with
cancer who are to receive treatment. Additionally, there is marked heterogeneity in the
geriatric population, and patients of similar chronologic age may have wide disparity in
their overall health status. Geriatricians utilize a tool called the Geriatric Assessment
(GA) to gauge an older patient's overall health status and identify potential areas of
deficits. The GA is a comprehensive tool, incorporating the assessment of physical function,
co-morbid conditions, social support, nutritional, psychological, and cognitive status and
medication review. A small number of studies in the oncology literature have demonstrated the
value of GA in guiding cancer-directed treatment plans for older patients. GA can identify
potential areas of deficits in an older patient's overall health status that have been shown
to predict chemotherapy toxicity and guide interventions to improve outcomes for older
patients. Studies of interventions in community-dwelling older adults have demonstrated
efficacy at improving deficits identified on GA. However, in older patients with cancer,
there is currently limited data regarding how GA can affect decision-making for treatment and
impact overall clinical care.
In a two-arm, randomized pilot study, we will evaluate the effect of GA and GA-driven
interventions on the outcomes of older cancer patients receiving first-line or second-line
chemotherapy.
