About this study

The proposed study, IFACT - Incidental Findings in Advanced Cancer Therapy, will address this research gap by examining MSK patients' attitudes, preferences, and information needs regarding incidental findings arising from tumor genomic profiling.

Read the detailed description

Part 1, the investigators will recruit 40 participants from those already enrolled in existing MSK IRB protocol #12-245 (PI: David Hyman, MD) including male and female patients who have been diagnosed with late-stage breast, colorectal, bladder, and lung cancer (some of the most common cancers in this study population).

Part 2, the investigators will recruit 20 participants from those who have actually received incidental germline findings from MSK IRB protocol #12-245 Consent Part C in order to cognitively test novel survey items about their knowledge and perceived utility of their incidental findings (note that the content of these items will be derived from the data collected in Part 1)

Being tested
Semi-structured interview
Medical subject headings
Breast Neoplasms, Colorectal Neoplasms, Urinary Bladder Neoplasms, Lung Neoplasms

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Semi-structured interviewBehavioural

    Pts will participate in a 45-60-minute, one-on-one, audio-recorded interview. They will be conducted over the telephone or in person at the MSK Counseling Center. They will be conducted in accordance with a semi-structured interview guide developed by our study team of experts in clinical genetics, health psychology, \& qualitative methodology. Topics to be covered in the interview include: 1) perceived potential benefits \& harms of tumor genomic profiling; 2) interest in \& perceived benefits \& harms of incidental findings arising from tumor genomic profiling; 3) anticipated process \& needs for decision-making about learning incidental findings; 4) interest in learning specific kinds of incidental findings (including those related to treatable diseases, different cancers, non-treatable diseases, \& those that only have meaning for family members); 5) preferences about sharing incidental findings with other people; \& 6) implications of \& concerns about incidental findings for family.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
participants from existing MSK protocol 12-245Participants' responses regarding the benefits and harms of incidental findings arising from tumor genomic profiling will be used to generate novel questionnaire items to assess the construct of perceived personal and clinical utility, which will be tested, along with items designed to assess knowledge about tumor genomic profiling and incidental findings. Part 2, the investigators will conduct 30-minute cognitive interviews to assess participants' understanding and opinions about the novel items designed to assess perceived personal and clinical utility of incidental findings and knowledge about incidental findings arising from tumor genomic profiling.

What is being measured

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

  1. qualitive data

    The study team will review and code the interview transcripts through a process of independent and collaborative thematic content analysis,(25-28) using ATLAS.ti (a qualitative data analysis software package) to facilitate the analysis process (29).

    Measured: one time

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Breast Cancer and Colorectal Cancer, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering 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 10 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Feb 2023. 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?

qualitive data (time frame: one time). 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 13 Feb 2023.
