Ride to Care - Quality of Life With Transportation for RT

Locally Advanced Malignant Neoplasm Clinical Trial

Official title:
Ride to Care - A Pilot Study to Investigate the Clinical and Quality of Life Benefit of Eliminating Transportation Barriers for Disadvantaged Cancer Patients Undergoing Ambulatory Palliative Radiotherapy

Clinical Trial Summary

This trial studies how well Uber health intervention works in eliminating transportation barriers for disadvantaged patients with cancer that has spread to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or other places in the body, undergoing ambulatory palliative radiotherapy. Uber health intervention provides free transportation to disadvantaged patients and may reduce the amount of missed radiotherapy appointments, patient anxiety, and the amount of unplanned emergency department visits, as well as improve quality of life.

Clinical Trial Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To test whether eliminating transportation barriers for disadvantaged cancer patients can reduce the 6-month rate of unplanned emergency department (ED) visits. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To test whether eliminating transportation barriers for disadvantaged cancer patients for the duration of a palliative radiotherapy course will improve prescribed treatment completion rates and reduce treatment delays and overall time to treatment completion. II. To test whether eliminating transportation barriers for disadvantaged cancer patients for the duration of a palliative radiotherapy course will have an impact on physician choice for therapeutic modality, [3-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3D CRT) versus intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) versus stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT)] and the fractionation schedules to minimize patient inconvenience. III. To test whether eliminating transportation barriers for disadvantaged cancer patients for the duration of a palliative radiotherapy course can reduce the short-term (6- months) rate of grade >= 3 radiation related adverse events as measured by the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5. IV. To test whether eliminating transportation barriers for disadvantaged cancer patients for the duration of a palliative radiotherapy course can improve the patient?s experience, functional outcome, and overall quality of life as measured by the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) quality of life questionnaire (QLQ)30. V. To test whether eliminating transportation barriers for disadvantaged cancer patients for the duration of a palliative radiotherapy course can reduce re-treatment rates, improve the progression free survival rates, and overall survival. VI. To determine if living within San Francisco County versus the surrounding counties (Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, San Mateo) within the San Francisco Bay Area has an impact on outcomes. OUTLINE: Patients receive Uber rides to and from scheduled radiotherapy appointments for up to 6 months. After completion of study, patients are followed up every 3 months for up to 3 years. ;
