Clinical Trial Summary

AGILITY is a type 1 hybrid trial that will test the effectiveness of a chatbot to provide pre-test information about genetic screening for tier 1 conditions. A randomized control trial of 2400 adult participants from diverse primary care clinics at the University of Florida Gainesville to receive virtual information about tier 1 condition genetic testing from a chatbot or traditional genetic counseling. The assessment of the outcome of the trial is to determine whether the chatbot is inferior to genetic counseling. Non-inferiority will be determined based on informed choice to undergo testing (or not). Implementation outcomes of acceptability, feasibility, and appropriateness will be evaluated to inform future potential through interviews with patients, primary care providers and GCs.


Clinical Trial Description

AGILITY is a type 1 hybrid trial that will test the effectiveness of a chatbot to provide pre-test information about genetic screening for tier 1 conditions. A randomized control trial of 2400 adult participants from diverse primary care clinics at the University of Florida Gainesville to receive virtual information about tier 1 condition genetic testing from a chatbot or traditional genetic counseling. The assessment of the outcome of the trial is to determine whether the chatbot is inferior to genetic counseling. Non-inferiority will be determined based on informed choice to undergo testing (or not). Implementation outcomes of acceptability, feasibility, and appropriateness will be evaluated to inform future potential through interviews with patients, primary care providers and GCs. This trial will provide evidence of whether chatbots can serve to address a shortage of genetic counselors by extending pre-test education in a population screening environment to alternate sources such as chatbots. Inclusion of an observation arm for individuals with positive family history who then are offered traditional clinical genetic service is a strength of the design that will allow for contrast between populations and service models as well. Inclusion of assessments of feasibility, acceptability, and appropriateness from multiple stakeholders is critical to future study design and implementation potential. ;
