About this study

Official title: Generalizable Machine Learning to Predict Acute Care During Outpatient Systemic Cancer

The objective of this study is to apply a validated machine-learning based model (SHIELD-RT, NCT04277650) to a cohort of patients undergoing systemic therapy as outpatient cancer treatment to generate an automatic system for the prediction of unplanned hospital admission rates and emergency department encounters.

Read the detailed description

A previously described machine learning (ML)-based model accurately predicted ED visits or hospitalizations for cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy or chemoradiation. An IRB approved prospective randomized trial, SHIELD-RT (NCT04277650) found that preemptive intervention for patients undergoing radiation and chemoradiation based on the ML model's risk stratification decreased the relative risk of acute care visits by 50%, showing that ML-guided escalation of care improved personalized supportive care and treatment compliance while decreasing healthcare costs.

The objective of this study is to apply this validated ML based model to a cohort of patients undergoing systemic therapy as outpatient cancer treatment to generate an automatic system for the prediction of unplanned hospital admission rates and emergency department encounters. Once validated, this study will add to the previously published body of evidence supporting a randomized trial evaluating the ML algorithm's ability to assign intervention for patients receiving systemic therapy at highest risk for acute care encounters.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chemotherapeutic Toxicity, 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 2 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 21 Sep 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?

number of unplanned of hospital admission or emergency department visits during systemic therapy (time frame: 12 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05122247, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 21 Sep 2023.
