NCT01924416

Brief Summary

The primary specific aim is to test the hypothesis that use of a decision aid to enhance informed, shared decision making coupled with quality of life assessment in patients with advanced lung cancer receiving first-, second-, or third-line therapy will lead to a reduction in two major contributors of cost (number of chemotherapy cycles; number of advanced imaging studies) compared with the control arm.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • A reduction in two major contributors of cost: Number of chemotherapy cycles, and number of advanced imaging studies

    Number of chemotherapy cycles administered and number of advanced imaging studies (CT, MRI, PET) related to treatment decisions

    9 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • QL-PRO assessment

    Every three weeks for 3 cycles, an expected average of 9 weeks

  • Decisional conflict

    Pre-post each of three decisions during chemotherapy treament, an expected average of 10 months

  • Decisional regret

    Post each of three decisions during chemotherapy treatment, an expected average of 10 months

  • Overall decisional regret

    1-2 weeks followup at end of chemotherapy treatment, an expected average of 10 months

Study Arms (2)

Enhanced Care

EXPERIMENTAL

Enhanced Care: Decision aid; QL-PRO immediate summary results; chemotherapy cycles and imaging studies as needed

Behavioral: Enhanced Care (intervention group and comparison group)

Usual Care

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Usual Care: Routine chemotherapy cycles and imaging studies

Behavioral: Usual care (routine chemotherapy cycles and imaging studies)

Interventions

Decision aid coupled with immediate QL-PRO results

Enhanced Care

Usual care does not receive intervention

Eligibility Criteria

Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsChild (0-17), Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Pathologically or cytologically determined non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)
  • Receiving either first-line, second-line, or third-line chemotherapy for advanced NSCLC. Any chemotherapy will be acceptable
  • Stage IIIB or IV
  • Performance status of KPS 60-100% or ECOG 0-2
  • Hematologic and metabolic parameters suitable for chemotherapy
  • Patients previously treated with adjuvant therapy who now have recurrent NSCLC, will be included as receiving first line therapy
  • Patients with brain metastasis are eligible provided: they are at least 1 week from completion of surgery or RT for brain metastasis, have stable and adequate neurological status to proceed with chemotherapy, and meet all other eligibility criteria
  • Patients with prior cancer diagnoses (with or without prior chemotherapy), are eligible provided the previous malignancy is well controlled
  • Ages greater than 18 with NSCLC
  • Life expectancy greater than three months
  • Able to understand English or Spanish, but is not required to be literate

You may not qualify if:

  • Patients treated with molecular targeted therapy as their sole treatment
  • Patients with documented severe psychiatric diagnoses from the medical record, which may prevent full study participation
  • Patients receiving protocol chemotherapy that mandates either the number of cycles of treatment to be received or a fixed schedule of imaging studies
  • Patients receiving concomitant chemotherapy and radiation therapy are not eligible for this protocol
  • Patients who are prisoners
  • Patients who are pregnant (self reporting by patient)
  • Patients who are cognitively impaired
  • Ages greater than 18
  • Able to understand English or Spanish, but is not required to be literate
  • Prisoners
  • Patients who are cognitively impaired
