Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to develop a web-based decision aid to help women at high risk for breast cancer make informed breast cancer prevention choices. These choices include chemoprevention, surgery, genetic counseling, or regular screening in accordance with recommended guidelines. Read more about this study

About this study

The purpose of this study is to develop a web-based decision aid to help women at high risk for breast cancer make informed breast cancer prevention choices. These choices include chemoprevention, surgery, genetic counseling, or regular screening in accordance with recommended guidelines.

Read the detailed description

Decisions about breast cancer are complex and preference-based. Existing decision aids that help identify women eligible for tamoxifen based on their breast cancer risk, such as the Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Tool (BCRAT), were not designed to identify women's risks for side-effects, her preferences for outcomes affected by treatment, nor the net balance of benefits and risks. It is possible to predict the risks of side effects of treatments according to patient characteristics, using patient-specific models.Our goal is to develop a decision aid, TXplore, that rates the overall benefit:risk profiles of various breast cancer prevention strategies according to a woman's risks for breast cancer, side-effects, and preferences. Each user will receive a customized report card grading each available prevention option, using preference-weighted risk:benefit grades; users can also explore personalized feedback from the program. Our hypotheses are that this tool can improve the implementation of appropriate prevention strategies, promote risk reduction behavior, and improve PCP's ability to identify and counsel high risk women.We propose building on modeling techniques that link the benefits and risks of preventive strategies to patient characteristics and preferences. We now seek to conduct focus groups and usability tests on end-users to optimize the design of the prototype TXplore.

The Specific Aims are:

  1. To optimize the design of TXplore by focus groups conducted among diverse high-risk women and PCPs to a) identify the domains driving decisions about prevention and explore the framing of questions comparing the relative importance of one domain to another, synthesizing this information as preference trade-off questions; and b) explore the framing of risk:benefit grades and personalized feedback.
  2. To assess the comprehensibility of preference trade-off questions by testing each question on a diverse sample of 50 high-risk women, revising and retesting.
  3. To assess the usability of TXplore for patients and PCPsThe successful completion of this project will produce a novel tool for counseling women about their individual benefits and risks of breast cancer prevention strategies. It will be the first tool of its kind to integrate individual patient risks and preferences into decision support.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing TX-plore in people with Breast Cancer, run by Rhode Island Hospital at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Jun 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Usability feedback on new decision aid for women at high risk for breast cancer from patients and physicians. (time frame: 9/01/06-8/31/07). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 5 Jun 2012.
