About this study

Official title: Assessing Economic Outcomes in Women With Stage III Ovarian Cancer Treated With Intravenous Paclitaxel and Cisplatin v. Intravenous Paclitaxel, Intraperitoneal Cisplatin and Intraperitoneal Paclitaxel on GOG #172: A Feasibility Study of Assessing Costs and Medical Resource Use

RATIONALE: Gathering information about patients with ovarian cancer over time may help doctors learn more about a patient's use of medical services and the cost of these services.

PURPOSE: This clinical trial is collecting information about the patient's health and use of medical resources over time in patients with stage III ovarian cancer receiving paclitaxel and cisplatin on clinical trial GOG-172.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the feasibility of collecting data on medical resource utilization and costs incurred in the care of patients with stage III ovarian cancer treated with intravenous (IV) paclitaxel and cisplatin vs IV paclitaxel, intraperitoneal (IP) paclitaxel, and IP cisplatin on a randomized, controlled clinical trial.
  • Determine the feasibility of collecting data on resource utilization incurred outside GOG institutions through the use of patient diaries.
  • Assess the work load required to collect this data, in terms of mean number of hours required to complete medical resource utilization forms.

OUTLINE: Data on medical resource units consumed (including length of hospital stay, length of time using operating room, units of drugs and blood products administered, number of diagnostic tests received, and number of physician visits needed) are collected on all patients.

Quality of life is assessed prior to randomization on clinical trial GOG-172, prior to the fourth course of chemotherapy, after the sixth course of chemotherapy, and at 3 months and 6 months after the sixth course of chemotherapy. Patients complete diaries throughout treatment with chemotherapy and for 12 months after treatment.

Data collected are used for analysis of economic impact, quality of life, neurotoxicity, and sociologic characteristics associated with these treatment regimens.

Patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years, every 6 months for 3 years, and then annually thereafter.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 40 patients will be accrued for this study within 1 year.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Feasibility of collecting data on medical resource utilization and costs incurred in the care of patients with stage III ovarian cancer

  2. Feasibility of collecting data on resource utilization incurred outside GOG institutions

  3. Work load required to collect this data, in terms of mean number of hours required to complete medical resource utilization forms

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing quality-of-life assessment in people with Ovarian Cancer, run by Gynecologic Oncology Group.

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

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Jun 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Feasibility of collecting data on medical resource utilization and costs incurred in the care of patients with stage III ovarian cancer. The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 10 Jun 2013.
