NCT05256576

Brief Summary

KORE-INNOVATION is a multi-center clinical study aiming to implement and analyze an innovative care pathway to reduce perioperative complications for patients undergoing surgical treatment for ovarian cancer. This is achieved by a structured, multidisciplinary implementation of the ERAS pathway, as well as introducing a tri-modal prehabilitation program, following a comprehensive frailty-assessment. The patient-individualized prehabilitation program consists of a structured plan to improve physical fitness, nutritional status, as well as patient empowerment. The aim of the study is to reduce perioperative morbidity and mortality, as well as improvement in quality of life.

Study Arms (4)

Control Group 1

NO INTERVENTION

Historic control group from both study sites: patients who took part in the FRAILTY study at Charité University hospital Berlin, as well as patients who were treated for OC at Evangelische Kliniken Essen Mitte during the same time period. Retrospective analysis looking at some of the main outcome variables will be conducted.

Control Group 2

NO INTERVENTION

Prospective control group: patients who undergo treatment for OC at both sites. Main outcomes are determined while under standard hospital care before start of the change management and implementation of the new intervention.

Control Group 3

NO INTERVENTION

Control group for health economical analysis to determine the cost-effectiveness of the new intervention.

Intervention Group

EXPERIMENTAL

Intervention Group undergoing the new multi-modal perioperative care pathway, including the implementation of ERAS pathway, in combination with a tri-modal prehabilitation program following a comprehensive frailty assessment.

Other: Implementation of an innovative multi-modal peri-operative care pathway

Interventions

The innovative multi-modal care pathway includes the implementation of the ERAS pathway, as well as the introduction of a patient-specific tri-modal prehabilitation program. This consists of a physical fitness, nutrition, and patient empowerment intervention.
