About this study

Official title: ROGYcare: The Impact of a Cancer Survivorship Care Plan on Patient Reported Outcomes and Health Care Providers. A Pragmatic Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial

Earlier diagnoses and improved treatments have contributed to the growing cohort of cancer survivors. Nevertheless, these patients remain at risk for adverse long-term or late physical or psychosocial effects of cancer and its treatment. There is increasing recognition to improve information disclosure and cancer survivorship care. The American Institute of Medicine (IOM) and Health Council of the Netherlands both recommend that cancer survivors receive a summary of their course of treatment as a formal document, that also includes recommendations for subsequent cancer surveillance, management of late effects, and strategies for health promotion, the Survivorship Care Plan (SCP). However, no evidence exists concerning the positive and negative effects of the implementation of the SCP in daily clinical practice. The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of SCP care in routine clinical practice on cancer survivors' satisfaction with information disclosure and care, quality of life, illness perception, and health care use.

Study groups in NCT01185626
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Usual careNo interventionThe gynaecological oncologist (GO) provides care as usual. Currently, hospitals provide follow-up following the Dutch guidelines, meaning that they see their patients on given time points based on the number of years after diagnosis. Most hospitals give their patients leaflets regarding the diagnosis and treatment they receive, however none of them provide personalized information. All information is given during the initial treatment phase, but none of the GOs give additional information during follow-up. None of the GOs is actively screening on psychosocial needs. As this might change in time, we will ask the providers and patients about the type of information they provide, respectively, receive.
SCP careExperimentalAfter initial treatment, the GO provides the patient with a paper SCP and takes time to discuss all items in the SCP. Each time during follow-up meetings between patient and GO, the patient will receive an updated SCP if applicable. The paper SCP is extracted from the online registration system 'ROGY' (Registrationsystem Oncological GYnaecology) and combines personal patient and disease data with tailored information that is related to the specific situation of this patient. Recurrences, toxicities or additionally involved specialists will be registered in ROGY and automatically updated in the personal SCP.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing SCP care in people with Ovarian Cancer and Endometrium Cancer, run by Lonneke van de Poll-Franse at 12 sites in Netherlands.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 May 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 12 sites in Netherlands. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Patients' score on the EORTC-INFO26 module15 questionnaire, measuring ´Satisfaction with information provision´, right after initial treatment (time frame: Right after initial treatment (t0)). The study lists 20 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01185626, which also lists 10 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 May 2017.
