Brief Title: Feasibility Testing of Patient Reported Outcomes – Informed Symptom Management System (PRISMS)

Feasibility Testing of Patient Reported Outcomes - Informed Symptom Management System (PRISMS)

INTRODUCTION

  • Org Study ID: LCCC1929
  • Secondary ID: N/A
  • NCT ID: NCT04492007
  • Sponsor: UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center

BRIEF SUMMARY

This is a proof-of-concept pilot randomized clinical trial to test the feasibility of the innovative Patient-Reported Outcomes-Informed Symptom Management System (PRISMS) to enhance personalized supportive care for cancer patients and caregivers during post-treatment care transition.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

In this proof-of-concept study, our multidisciplinary team will conduct a pilot randomized clinical trial to test the feasibility of the innovative Patient-Reported Outcomes-Informed Symptom Management System (PRISMS) to enhance personalized supportive care for cancer patients and caregivers during post-treatment care transition. We will randomly assign 21 cancer patients with newly created ostomies for cancer treatment with curative intent and their primary caregivers to the PRISMS or usual care groups (21 patient-caregiver dyads, a total of 42 individuals). PRISMS is defined as a personalized psychoeducational website including monitoring and personal feedback. We will conduct pre- and post-assessments of QOL and PRO (symptoms) at baseline upon enrollment and 2 months later.
