Trial summary

Among Latinos, a fast growing and underserved population, Colorectal Cancer (CRC) is the third leading cause of cancer death in men and in women. Compared to non-Latino whites, Latinos are less likely to be diagnosed with localized CRC and more likely to be diagnosed with advanced stage disease. Read more about this study

About this study

Among Latinos, a fast growing and underserved population, Colorectal Cancer (CRC) is the third leading cause of cancer death in men and in women. Compared to non-Latino whites, Latinos are less likely to be diagnosed with localized CRC and more likely to be diagnosed with advanced stage disease. Of the recommended CRC screening tests, a colonoscopy allows for both the detection and removal of precancerous and cancerous polyps. Although screening colonoscopies can detect and prevent CRC, more than half of Latinos have not received a screening colonoscopy within the recommended time frame (one screening colonoscopy per ten years).

The purpose of this study is to develop and begin to test an electronically-delivered motivational interviewing progressive web application (e-MI app), called Motívate. The Motívate app will be offered in both English and Spanish to patients who self-identify as Latino/a/x, after they receive a referral for a screening colonoscopy.

Read the detailed description

A pilot study will be conducted to begin to examine the efficacy of the Motívate app for improving screening colonoscopy uptake among Latinos. Participants (N=80) will be randomly assigned, stratified for language, to one of two groups: Motívate app (N=40) or general health information video (N=40). The results of the pilot study will inform power calculations for a future randomized clinical trial that will formally test the efficacy of the app. If this program of research proves the Motívate app efficacious there is a strong argument to integrate the app into standard clinical care in order to reduce the overall burden of CRC in the growing and vulnerable Latino community.

What participants receive

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

  • MotívateBehavioural

    The Motívate app can be used in English or Spanish and involves four sequential phases. 1) The engaging phase uses videos to welcome participants. 2) Patients willing to discuss the decision to have a screening colonoscopy will answer multiple-choice questions on colorectal cancer prevention - completing the focusing phase. Optional videos will offer additional information. 3) The evoking phase consists of interactive Motivational Interviewing exercises to help participants elicit motivations to get a screening colonoscopy. 4) During the planning phase, participants will view a video that will discuss the steps needed to prepare for the colonoscopy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Motívate and Video link in people with Colorectal Cancer, run by Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai 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 18 Jun 2024. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 18 Jun 2024). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Colonoscopy Completion (time frame: Six months after enrollment). 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 18 Jun 2024.
