Virtual Reality in Imaging Review for Cancer Patients

Status Withdrawn

Clinical Trial Summary

Patients with cancer and their caregivers may have difficulty understanding the site and extent of their disease. Poor comprehension may negatively impact patients and caregivers, leading to increased anxiety, reduced compliance, decreased trust of the physician, and limited shared medical decision making ability. Most patients want to be thoroughly informed, with over a third of cancer patients wishing they had been better informed about side effects that they experienced due to their treatment. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of diagnostic imaging review using 3D virtual reality compared to standard 2D imaging review for patients and their caregiver(s) using a mixed methods approach of survey and qualitative interview based approaches.

Clinical Trial Description

This study will use virtual reality to display the patient's diagnostic imaging in 3D with live volumetric rendering. This study will explore if this approach improves patient and caregiver understanding of their disease. Eligible patients should have available diagnostic imaging consisting of CT, MRI, and/or PET-CT. Prior to their consultation in radiation oncology, patients will complete a survey about their prior experience reviewing their diagnostic imaging. During the consultation, patients and caregivers will be shown their medical imaging in 2D on a computer screen, then in 3D with virtual reality. After the consultation, the patient and caregiver(s) will complete a 2nd survey comparing virtual reality to standard imaging review with domains of perceived understanding, patient preference, and satisfaction. Then, the patient and caregiver(s) will undergo a qualitative interview exploring their experience with virtual reality compared to standard imaging review. The survey questions comparing virtual reality to standard imaging review will be statistically evaluated. The recorded interview session will be qualitatively analyzed using with a mixed methods approach by thematically categorizing the respondents' answers. ;

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.
