About this study

Official title: FEASIBILITY OF IMPLEMENTING PRE-TRANSPLANT EVALUATION BY THE SUPPORTIVE CARE TEAM FOR PATIENTS UNDERGOING HEMATOPOIETIC CELL TRANSPLANTATION FOR HEMATOLOGICAL MALIGNANCIES

This pilot clinical trial studies supportive care for patients with hematological malignancies undergoing hematopoietic cell transplant. Supportive care may improve quality of life in this patient population.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Pilot a supportive care intervention that begins prior to transplantation and continues through the acute peritransplant period.

II. Determine the proportion of patients who enroll and the level of comfort / distress of hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) patients who meet with the supportive care team.

III. Pilot data collection mechanisms and cost retrieval in preparation for a randomized clinical trial.

OUTLINE:

Patients undergo supportive care consultation before transplantation and at least once monthly while they remain at the transplant center.

Being tested
palliative care, questionnaire administration, quality-of-life assessment

What is being measured

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

  1. Study participation rates defined as the proportion of patients who consent to enroll

    Will mainly be descriptive.

    Measured: Up to 5 months

  2. Completion time for the supportive care consultation

    Will mainly be descriptive.

    Measured: Up to 90 days post-treatment

  3. Level of comfort / distress attributed to individual parts of the consultation

    Will mainly be descriptive. The post-consultation scores measuring level of comfort or distress per topic in the supportive care consultation will be summarized per item.

    Measured: Up to 90 days post-treatment

  4. Completeness of follow-up data collection, where completeness is defined by the proportion of instrument scores that can be calculated per given time point

    Will mainly be descriptive. The completeness of follow-up data collection will be calculated and reported as a proportion of successfully completed scales vs. scales attempted to be collected or completed by patients.

    Measured: Up to 90 days post-treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing palliative care, questionnaire administration and quality-of-life assessment in people with Hematopoietic/Lymphoid Cancer, run by Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center 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 4 inclusion and 2 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 2 Mar 2016. 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?

Study participation rates defined as the proportion of patients who consent to enroll (time frame: Up to 5 months). The study lists 4 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 2 Mar 2016.
