Trial summary

The primary objective of this study is to apply best-practice stated-preference methods to quantify the extent to which women with ovarian cancer accept the risks, side effects, and out-of-pocket costs associated with treatment in return for progression-free survival benefit afforded by a treatment, regardless of… Read more about this study

About this study

The primary objective of this study is to apply best-practice stated-preference methods to quantify the extent to which women with ovarian cancer accept the risks, side effects, and out-of-pocket costs associated with treatment in return for progression-free survival benefit afforded by a treatment, regardless of whether there is an overall survival benefit.

Read the detailed description

The investigators propose to perform a preferences survey to be administered to women with ovarian cancer.The investigators anticipate that about 1/3 of the study cohort will include patients who are receiving treatment with an oral ADP-ribose polymerase inhibitors (PARPi). The investigators will begin by conducting interviews with 5 pilot subjects as they test the preferences survey. Based on their feedback the survey may be updated for clarity. During the final survey phase, subjects will be recruited and invited to participate in the choice experiment by Biologics, Inc., a specialty pharmacy company that dispenses oral PARPis. Subjects may also be recruited through ResearchMatch.org and at the Gynecologic Oncology division at Duke. Up to 300 women may be included in this study, at least 100 women will have received treatment with a PARPi.

Discrete choice experiment (DCE) questions generate limited dependent-variable, cross-section/time-series data. The study team will use random-parameters logit (RPL) to analyze the choice-format conjoint data collected in the DCE survey. Unobserved variation in preferences across the sample can bias estimates in conventional conditional-logit choice models. RPL avoids this potential bias by estimating a distribution of preferences around each model parameter that accounts for variations among individual preferences not accounted for by the variables in the model. The flexible correlation structure of RPL also accounts for within-sample correlation in the question sequence for each respondent.

There are no physical risks to subject participation in this survey protocol.

What is being measured

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

  1. Preference between two treatment alternatives as measured by discrete choice experiment (DCE).

    In the DCE, women are asked to choose between two hypothetical treatment scenarios characterized using 7 attributes (treatment schedule, out of pocket cost, peripheral neuropathy, nausea and vomiting, fatigue, progression-free survival and overall survival).

    Measured: baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Ovarian Cancer and Fallopian Tube Cancer, run by Duke University 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 1 inclusion and 1 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 27 Jun 2019. 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?

Preference between two treatment alternatives as measured by discrete choice experiment (DCE). (time frame: baseline). 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 27 Jun 2019.
