About this study

Official title: Adherence to NCCN Survivorship Care Guidelines in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer and Colorectal Cancer Survivor Care

This clinical trial studies adherence to survivorship care guidelines in health care providers for non-small cell lung cancer or colorectal cancer survivor care. The completion of an educational intervention by health care providers may increase compliance and adherence to National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines for survivorship care.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To evaluate adherence of oncology health care providers to National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines for cancer survivorship care in colorectal cancer (CRC) and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cancers.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To develop and assess a targeted educational initiative to improve compliance with NCCN CRC and NSCLC survivorship guidelines for oncology health care providers in academic and community practice.

II. To evaluate the impact of this educational initiative on documented adherence and compliance with NCCN guidelines for NSCLC and CRC survivorship care by oncology health care providers.

OUTLINE:

Health care providers complete an educational intervention based on NCCN guidelines in CRC and NSCLC survivorship care comprising a power point presentation reviewing evidence and guidelines; a USB drive of the NCCN guidelines with paper copy of pages addressing survivorship care; an electronic and paper copy of a sample survivorship clinic template note with prompts for addressing survivorship care components; and an electronic paper copy sample survivorship care plan that can be adapted and distributed at each participating site.

Being tested
educational intervention, medical chart review
Medical subject headings
Adenocarcinoma of Lung, Colonic Neoplasms, Rectal Neoplasms, Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Percentage of eligible CRC and NSCLC survivors with medical record documentation of compliance with NCCN guidelines

    A test of the binomial proportion will have 99% power with 1% type I error to make this distinction.

    Measured: Up to 6 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Change in percentage of eligible survivors with documentation of compliance with NCCN survivorship guidelines after conducting the targeted educational initiative at participating sites

    This two-sample test of binomial proportions will have 99% power with 1% type I error.

    Measured: Baseline and up to 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing educational intervention and medical chart review in people with Adenocarcinoma of the Lung and Mucinous Adenocarcinoma of the Colon, run by Fox Chase Cancer Center at 1 site in United States.

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 11 inclusion and 7 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 6 Apr 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. 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?

Percentage of eligible CRC and NSCLC survivors with medical record documentation of compliance with NCCN guidelines (time frame: Up to 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 6 Apr 2017.
