The "ToPIC" Study = Tool to Improve Participation In Clinical Trials

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to pilot the "ToPIC" tool, a communication tool to facilitate clinical trial decision making conversations between oncologists and patients.

Clinical Trial Description

The ToPIC tool is a structured delivery of important treatment-related information. The oncologist remains entirely in charge of the information delivered (e.g. what are the treatment options, what are the potential benefits) and uses the ToPIC framework to organize the information and create a pen and paper diagram for the patient to assist in their processing and deliberation. The tool creates a forum for a clear presentation of options and facilitates a patient's ability to express their individual preferences.

Oncologists are the intervention population and will be trained in how to use the ToPIC communication tool. Volunteer oncologists will be randomly assigned to immediate training or wait list control. Oncologists who are randomly assigned to the intervention group will receive training, and once they have demonstrated competence with the tool, they will begin using the tool with their patients. Data collection for any patient whom they present treatment options which include a clinical trial will be included for the primary analysis related to recruitment for clinical trials. This collection will begin once the oncologist, regardless of their assigned group, has signed consent and been randomized. ;
