About this study

This survey study is looking to determine if patient reported outcomes(using the PROMIS survey) will vary according to the presence of recurrent or metastatic lung or esophageal cancer.

Read the detailed description

A patient-centered approach to lung cancer surveillance following resection needs to incorporate patient reported outcomes. The Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS®) was designed to revolutionize the assessment of patient reported outcomes by establishing a national resource for the measurement of patient-reported symptoms and other health outcomes.

The PROMIS Assessment Center, the management tool within the larger PROMIS system, will be used to securely store de identified data, provide automated accrual reports and data export for this specific study. This study will have it's own study specific website.

Patients seen at the University of Virginia Cancer Center will be identified and invited to participate in an assessment of their reported outcomes over multiple domains available in PROMIS. Collecting this information on lung cancer survivors may provide a robust platform to design a patient-centered surveillance strategy following resection.

The study team hypothesizes that patient reported outcomes will vary according to the presence of recurrence or metastasis of lung or esophageal cancer. The study team also believes including patient reported outcomes into routine post-treatment surveillance will improve patient satisfaction and improve outcomes.

What is being measured

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

  1. Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Scores.

    Enrolled subjects with lung or esophageal cancer will be asked to complete an on-line (web-based) survey (PROMIS) using a computer. Most patients will only be asked to complete this survey once, but some patients will be asked to answer the questions a second or third time over a maximum five year period. The PROMIS assessment center was used to develop and administer patient reported outcomes (PROs) for each of these five cancer domains. PROMIS scores are continuous and range from 0-100. Total scores were calculated and calibrated to the weighted distribution of scores from a large representative sample of the U.S. general population using the 'T-score' algorithm 18. The T-scores for the study population are calibrated to the surveyed population mean of 50 and standard deviation of 10, such that a study patient with a T-score of 40 is one standard deviation below the U.S. general population mean.

    Measured: Over a 3 year period

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lung Cancer and Esophageal Cancer, run by University of Virginia 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 3 inclusion and 2 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 26 Oct 2018. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 26 Oct 2018). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Scores. (time frame: Over a 3 year period). 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 26 Oct 2018.
