About this study

Official title: Telemedicine-guided Patients Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs): Side Effects Screening and Early Intervention to Impact in Quality of Life of Gynaecological Cancer Patients

The goal of this randomized study is to assess the impact on self-perceived quality of life (QoL) of systematic screening and early treatment of aftereffects in patients with gynaecological cancers. The main question it aims to answer is if systematic screening with validated questionaries (see in detailed description), diagnosis and early treatment of lower-limb lymphoedema, anxiety-depression, sexual dysfunction and sarcopenia-malnutrition all have a positive impact on the self-perceived QoL by gynaecological cancer patients. Participants will access the screening questionnaires and QoL questionaries on a free online app on their mobile devices. In the experimental group, in case of positive screening, patients will be referred to specialised care to early treatment of the aftereffects. Researchers will compare this group with standard usual care (opportunistic treatment) to see if systematic screening and early treatment lead to a better QoL.

Read the detailed description

validated screening scales used: Gynecologic Cancer Lymphedema Questionnaire (GCLQ) Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) Sexual Function Abbreviated Index (IFSFA-6) Short Nutritional Assessment Questionnaire (SNAQ) Sarcopenia Formulary (SARC-F) along with self-perceived quality of life questionnaires from EORTC: QLQ-C30 EN-24 or OV-28 or CX-24

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Jun 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Blanca Gil-Ibañez, MD, PhD (0034-646886495, blancalabacin@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Quality-of-life questionaries score (time frame: up to 20 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 NCT05918770, 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 26 Jun 2023.
