The Cancer Connected Access and Remote Expertise Beyond Walls Program to Provide In-Home Cancer Treatment and Improve Treatment Satisfaction in Cancer Patients Living in the Florida Panhandle and Surrounding Areas

Brief Summary
This phase II trial studies whether providing cancer treatment in the home is preferred over the traditional clinic setting and if it improves treatment satisfaction in cancer patients living in the Florida Panhandle and surrounding areas. Typically, drug-related cancer care is provided at a medical center which causes patients to have to spend considerable time away from their family, friends, and familiar surroundings. This may add to the physical, emotional, social, and financial burden for patients and their families during this difficult time in their lives. The Cancer Connected Access and Remote Expertise (CARE) Beyond Walls (CCBW) program uses a specialized care team trained to provide cancer treatment in the patient's home setting. It is designed to support remote connection between the home health team and providers and Mayo clinic. This may be preferred over the traditional clinic setting which may improve treatment satisfaction in cancer patients living in the Florida Panhandle and surrounding areas.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (3)
Patient preferences regarding location of cancer treatment delivery
As assessed by a single item asking patients to rate their preferred location for cancer treatment delivery on a 1 to 7 scale: 1 = strongly prefer in clinic, 2 = moderately prefer in clinic, 3 = slightly prefer in clinic, 4 = no preference, 5 = slightly prefer at home, 6 = moderately prefer at home, 7 = strongly prefer at home. Patients who receive any care in the mobile unit will be instructed to consider "at home" to mean receipt of care inside their home or near their home in the mobile unit.
At 12 weeks
Adverse Events Related to Location of Treatment
Safety of at-home administration of cancer treatment will be assessed by incidence of grade 3+ adverse events at least possibly related to the location of cancer treatment delivery that occur up to 30 days after the administration of the last dose of study drug/agent or therapy. The maximum grade for each type of adverse event will be summarized using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0.
Up to 9 months
Incidence of avoidable acute care visits, emergency room visits, and hospitalizations
Safety of at-home administration of cancer treatment will be assessed by the frequency and proportion of patients who experience an avoidable (in the opinion of the treating physician) acute care visit, emergency room visit, or hospitalization while receiving at-home cancer treatment.
Up to 24 weeks

Study Arms (1)
Health services research (CCBW in-home cancer treatment)
EXPERIMENTALPatients receive in-home standard of care cancer-treatment through CCBW according to standard clinical practice for up to 12 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Following 12 weeks of in-home treatment, patients choose to return to clinic setting or continue to receive in-home treatment for an additional 12 weeks.

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Patient has had adequate tolerability of their clinical standard of care treatment, in the opinion of their treating physician, and no clinically significant drug-related reactions occurred prior to consent
- Participant must be receiving a standard-of-care treatment regimen listed in this protocol that is being used in accordance with standard medical practice. Specifically, it must be either a) Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved for the participant's disease indication, or b) recommended in nationally recognized professional guidelines (e.g. National Comprehensive Cancer Network \[NCCN\], American Society of Clinical Oncology \[ASCO\], American Society of Hematology \[ASH\], etc.) as standard of care for the disease indication. Off-label use is permitted only if supported by such guidelines
- A social stability screener, used per standard of care, indicates patient is appropriate to participate in the CCBW program
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) 0, 1, 2 or 3 at the discretion of the treating physician
- Female or male patients age \>= 18 years at the time of consent
- Willing and able to comply with the study protocol in the investigator's judgement
- Patients with histologically confirmed malignancy who are currently receiving treatment with one of the eligible treatment regimens.
- Note: patients diagnosed with any of the following disease types may receive any of the eligible regimens listed. Additionally, patients receiving hormonal or immunotherapy, such as nivolumab or pembrolizumab, may receive these infusions in home supplemental to any of the regimens identified. Co-administration with hormonal agents such as anti-androgens, poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors, oral gonadotrophin releasing hormone (GnRh) antagonists, estrogens, selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs), or aromatase inhibitors are allowed, however combinations of oral regimens only are not permitted. Patients may receive any combination of any listed medications or regimens
- Eligible disease cancer types:
- Amyloidosis
- Basal cell carcinoma
- Biliary
- Bladder
- Breast
- Cervical
- +49 more criteria
You may not qualify if:
- Co-morbid systemic illnesses or other severe concurrent disease which, in the judgment of the investigator, would make the patient inappropriate for entry into this study or interfere significantly with the proper assessment of safety and toxicity of the prescribed regimens
- Receiving any investigational agent which would be considered as a treatment for the primary neoplasm.
- Note: oral concomitant medications for oncologic indications will be maintained per standard of care treatment and not considered part of the trial. Any nononcologic medication, regardless of route of administration will be maintained per standard of care treatment and also not considered part of the trial; therefore, patients receiving oral anti-cancer or other medications per standard of care treatment in addition to any of the medications listed are considered eligible for this trial
- Individuals who require continuous (24/7) assistance with daily living and are unable to independently manage the technology required for study participation, unless a caregiver is available and willing to provide consistent support throughout the study
- Current inpatient hospitalization (excluding admission to the Advanced Care at Home program)
