About this study

Official title: Supportive Oncology Care at Home Intervention for Patients With Lymphoma

The goal of this research is to evaluate an intervention, which the investigators call "Home Hospital for Lymphoma," that involves remote patient monitoring and home-based supportive care for patients hospitalized with lymphoma at Massachusetts General Hospital.

Read the detailed description

This research study is a single arm pilot Feasibility Study, which is the first-time investigators are examining this hospital at home intervention for patients with lymphoma.

The research study procedures include screening for eligibility, questionnaires, remote patient monitoring (e.g. patient-reported symptoms and home monitored vital signs) and home-based supportive care (e.g. visits to patients' homes to address and manage any concerning issues identified), and interviews of participants, caregivers, and clinicians asking their perceptions of the Home Hospital for Lymphoma program.

Participants will include 3 groups:

Enrolled participants receiving the hospital at home intervention, caregivers of participants, and clinicians.

Participants will be in the research study for about six months after consent. It is expected that up to 38 participants will take part in this research study.

What is being measured

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

  1. enrollment rate

    The primary endpoint is feasibility. The proposed intervention will be deemed feasible if at least 60% of eligible patients are enrolled in the study

    Measured: 1 year

  2. retention rate

    The primary endpoint is feasibility. The proposed intervention will be deemed feasible if those enrolled patients complete at least 60% of daily patient-reported symptom assessment.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Acceptability of the intervention

    Qualitative acceptability ratings from patients, caregivers, and clinicians obtained via exit individual interviews regarding acceptability (i.e. usefulness, effectiveness, and relevance of the intervention) from patients, family caregivers, and clinicians. The intervention will be deemed acceptable if ≥ 60% of patients, family caregivers, and clinicians report that the intervention was helpful.

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Rates of completion of daily vital signs

    Proportion of participants that complete daily reporting of vital signs during their home hospital admission.

    Measured: 1 year

  3. Rates of Adverse Events

    The rates of Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events that are judged by the treating lymphoma clinician to be at least possibly related to the study intervention.

    Measured: 1 year
