NCT03868176

Brief Summary

This study will evaluate the impact of Short Message Service (SMS) on compliance with surveillance of patients with germ-cell tumors. Patients will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to get 2 groups : (1) patients will receive reminder SMS before appointment detailing the date of consultation and exams to be performed before; (2) standard of care without SMS.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Rate of patients who report optimal compliance to surveillance

    Optimal compliance is defined according to the following 2 parameters: * The patient comes to all the appointments, on the expected day, AND * With all the biological and imaging exams previously scheduled by the physician.

    1 year

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • Rate of patients who report intermediate compliance to surveillance

    1 year

  • Rate of patients who report a non compliance to surveillance

    1 year

  • Patient satisfaction of sending SMS, in experimental arm

    1 year

  • biological recurrence rate

    1 year

  • Radiological recurrence rate

    1 year

Study Arms (2)

Experimental: reminder SMS before appointment

SMS before appointment detailing the date of consultation and exams to be performed before

Other: short message service

Active comparator: standard of care

Interventions

Study Population

235 patients, with 157 in the experimental arm, with SMS sending and 78 patients in the control arm, without sending SMS.

You may qualify if:

  • Patient with germ cell tumor.
  • Patient with a mobile phone.
  • Patient on surveillance.

You may not qualify if:

  • Testicular cancer without germ cell component.
  • Prior history of other malignancy except for: cutaneous cancers excluding melanoma, superficial bladder tumor, localized prostate cancer with undetectable PSA.
  • Cognitive condition that would preclude patient's understanding and completion of study procedures.
