Cancer Clinical Trial - Study of an eHealth Delivery Alternative for

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

This study aims to determine if web-based eHealth delivery of pre-test and/or post-test counseling in cancer patients and/or those at risk for cancer can provide equal or improved cognitive and affective outcomes when compared to the standard of care delivery model.

Clinical Trial Description

Cancer genetic testing has become a standard evidence-based practice, with established risk reduction and cancer screening guidelines for genetic carriers. With FDA approval for PARP inhibitors in patients with advanced breast, ovarian, pancreatic and prostate cancer, there is an additional therapeutic rationale for testing all breast, ovarian, pancreatic and prostate cancer patients for germline genetic mutations. Yet, access to genetic specialists is limited in many area, and the traditional model of pre- and post-test counseling with a genetic professional will not support the rising indications for cancer genetic testing. Thus, there is an urgent need to consider alternative delivery models to increase access and uptake of testing, while maintaining adequate patient outcomes. This study aims to assess if traditional pre-test (visit 1) and post-test (visit 2: disclosure) counseling delivered by a genetic counselor can be replaced with a self-directed web-based eHealth intervention to provide critical data to inform optimal ways to deliver cancer genetic testing in patients with breast, ovarian, pancreatic and prostate cancer, while maintaining quality of care and favorable cognitive, affective and behavioral outcomes. Specific Aim 1: To determine if web-based eHealth delivery of pre-test and/or post-test counseling can provide equal or improved cognitive and affective short-term and 6-month outcomes as compared to the two-visit standard of care delivery model with a genetic counselor. The investigator's primary outcomes will be changes in knowledge and anxiety. Secondary outcomes will include uptake of testing, depression, cancer specific distress, uncertainty and health behaviors and provider time. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
