Cancer Clinical Trial - Decision Making for Older Adults With Cancer

Status Active, not recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

This is a minimal risk, pilot cluster randomized controlled trial (CRT) to determine the feasibility and acceptability of training medical oncologists to use the Best Case/Worst Case-Geriatric Oncology (BC/WC-GeriOnc) communication tool in clinical practice with older adults with cancer.

Clinical Trial Description

Primary Objective: I. To assess the feasibility of study procedures and using the BC/WC-GeriOnc communication tool in medical oncology with older adults with cancer. Secondary Objectives I. To evaluate the acceptability and appropriateness of using the BC/WC-GeriOnc communication tool. II. To evaluate BC/WC-GeriOnc intervention fidelity and adherence by oncologists . Exploratory Objectives: I. To assess shared decision making and qualitatively compare cancer decision-making discussions led by oncologists randomized to the BC/WC-GeriOnc intervention versus control. II. To determine the variability in physician-patient communication and decision-making outcomes in the intervention and control groups III. To characterize cancer care decisions and health care utilization in the intervention and control groups. During the lead-in phase, 2 medical oncologists and 4 participants will be enrolled. During the CRT, 7 medical oncologists, 49 patients, and up to 42 caregivers will be enrolled. Oncologists will then be randomized 1:1 to the BC/WC-GeriOnc intervention arm or waitlist control with optional BC/WC-GeriOnc training after study completion. For each randomized oncologist, the investigators will record cancer treatment decision-making discussions with 5 patients per oncologist and ask participants and oncologists to complete study questionnaires over two-month follow-up and one semi-structured interview about the decision-making process and communication. Each participant in the pilot CRT phase will be given the option to select one caregiver to participate as well. Caregivers will be asked to complete study questionnaires and a semi-structured interview about their decision-making experience. ;
