About this study

Official title: Monitoring of Treatment Related Toxicities From Oral Targeted Agents and Immunotherapy Among Patients With Advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) Using Carevive Software, a Single-Arm Phase II Feasibility Study

To determine if Carevive software, which monitors treatment-related toxicities and then generates self-care management plans for these symptoms, will be feasible to implement among patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Additionally for collection of preliminary data on treatment-related toxicities, quality of life, distress level, and drug adherence.

What participants receive

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

  • Carevive softwareOther

    In this study, Carevive will deliver a link to subjects so that an online survey can be completed. The survey will occur weekly for the first 12 weeks of the study and will be spaced out to every other week thereafter. The questions will mostly focus on side effects from their cancer therapy, as well as a few questions about drug compliance and healthcare utilization. After completion of the survey, the subject will be given a care plan with at home self-management options for drug-related toxicities.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants Who Submitted at Least One Carevive Survey

    Number of participants who completed at least one Carevive survey at any time during the 48 week study period.

    Measured: From enrollment through 48 weeks

  2. Percentage of Carevive Surveys Completed Per Participant

    Percentage of Carevive surveys completed by each participant, calculated as the number of completed surveys divided by the number of surveys prompted by the Carevive software during the 48 week study period.

    Measured: From enrollment through 48 weeks

  3. Number of Participants Who Utilized at Least One Auto-Generated Carevive Care Plan

    Number of participants who accessed at least one auto-generated Carevive care plan at any time during the 48 week study period.

    Measured: From enrollment through 48 weeks

  4. Percentage of Auto Generated Carevive Care Plans Utilized Per Participant

    Percentage of auto generated Carevive care plans utilized by each participant, calculated as the number of care plans accessed divided by the total number of care plans generated for that participant during the 48 week study period.

    Measured: From enrollment through 48 weeks

  5. System Usability Scale (SUS) Score for Carevive Software

    Participants completed the System Usability Scale (SUS), which is a validated 10-item questionnaire that produces a total usability score ranging from 0 to 100. Scores are categorized into three main categories: excellent (>80.3 points); good (68.0 to 80.3 points) and below average (<68 points). We calculated the SUS point for each participant who completed the survey.

    Measured: From enrollment through 48 weeks

Secondary outcomes (23)
  1. Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Kidney Symptom Index (FKSI-DRS) Total Score

    The FKSI-DRS is a validated patient-reported outcome measure assessing kidney cancer-related symptoms, with total scores ranging from 0 to 36, where higher scores indicate better quality of life.

    Measured: From enrollment through 48 weeks

  2. Distress Level Assessed by NCCN Distress Thermometer

    The NCCN Distress Thermometer is a validated patient reported outcome measure assessing psychological distress on a scale from 0 to 10, with higher scores indicating greater distress. Scores were categorized to reflect low distress (0-3) and moderate to severe distress (4-10).

    Measured: From enrollment through 48 weeks

  3. Health Care Utilization Assessment

    Health care utilization was assessed based on participant self-report and defined as having at least one hospital visit, emergency room visit, or unplanned clinic visit during the 48-week study period.
