About this study
Official title: Patient Decision Aid for Chemotherapy or Exclusion in Cisplatin-Intolerant Patients With Locally Advanced Cervical Cancer (CECIL): Development, Validation and Clinical Testing
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the utility and effectiveness of a decision aid in cisplatin-intolerant patients with locally advanced cervical cancer.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
- What is the effectiveness of the decision aid in reducing decisional conflict?
- What is the utility of the decision aid in preparing for decision-making?
Participants will be asked to accomplish the Decisional Conflict Scale before and after using the decision aid.
Researchers will compare patients given routine care and the decision aid with patients given routine care to see if the decision aid reduces decisional conflict.
Read the detailed description
In locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC), adding chemotherapy (ChT) to radiotherapy (RT) improves survival at the cost of increased toxicity. Among patients with cisplatin contraindications, compliance to RT may be compromised. Shared decision-making (SDM) allows for more patient engagement in the decision-making process and decision implementation planning. In cancer-related decision-making, patient decision aids (PtDA) facilitate the SDM process and have increased patient knowledge and satisfaction and decreased decisional conflict and attitudinal barriers improved patient satisfaction and treatment compliance.
The CECIL study is a two-phase study to develop, validate and test the effectiveness of a PtDA for cisplatin-intolerant LACC patients faced with the decision of adding ChT to RT. Phase 1 is a mixed-methods study to develop a PtDA prototype and determine its content validity and user acceptability. Phase 2 is a block-randomized clinical trial to determine its effectiveness in reducing decisional conflict and its utility in preparing for decision-making. Adult women with biopsy-proven untreated LACC with cisplatin contraindications will be included in this trial.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
CECIL Patient Decision AidBehavioural
Also called Decision Support Intervention
The CECIL patient decision aid explicitly identifies the disease, the index decision, and the treatment options, describes the positive and negative features and consequences of each option, and guides the patient in examining personal values and preferences, to arrive at a quality and realistic decision.
The decision aid will be developed and validated according to the guidelines and standards published by the International Patient Decision Aids Standards (IPDAS) Collaboration.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Routine care | No intervention | Routine in-house workflow for initial and follow-up consultation, disclosure of diagnosis, and apprisal and counseling regarding treatment options |
| Patient decision aid | Experimental | Routine in-house workflow for initial and follow-up consultation, disclosure of diagnosis, and apprisal and counseling regarding treatment options plus provision of a decision aid after the initial consultation Receives: Behavioral: CECIL Patient Decision Aid |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Decisional conflict
Decisional Conflict Scale (DCS) scores of ≥25 will indicate significant decisional conflict. The proportion of participants having pretest (baseline) and posttest decisional conflict scores of ≥25 for each group will be reported.
Measured: Prior to the second consultation visit (for treatment decision and implementation planning), usually within one week
Secondary outcomes (1)
Utility in preparation for decision-making
For the experimental group, the overall utility of the decision will be measured using the Preparation for Decision-Making Scale (PDMS). This will be reported as the averaged individual user mean scores using the PDMS and the confidence interval.
Measured: After use of the patient decision aid and prior to the second consultation visit (for treatment decision and implementation planning), usually within one week
