About this study

Official title: Testing the Feasibility and Efficacy of Two Different Intensities of an Intervention to Enhance REsilience and to Reduce SupportIve Care Needs in Cancer Patients: A Phase II TriaL

The aim of this phase II study is to test by feasibility and efficacy of two interprofessional supportive care interventions with different intensities to facilitate resilience in patients and thereby to reduce their unmet supportive care needs.

Read the detailed description

Intervention A (tested in arm A) includes screening of resilience and supportive care needs as well as direct feed-back of the screening results on a monitoring sheet to nurses and oncologists in charge of the patient. Nurses and oncologists follow three training sessions to be trained in a) resilience facilitation, b) interventions to adress supportive care needs, c) use of the monitoring sheet.

Intervention B (tested in arm B) includes same intervention as arm A supplemented by 5 structured nurse led consultations, two face to face (F2F), three by phone (PC) provided by clinical nurse specialists and based on a consultation manual.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • RESIL InterventionBehavioural

    Interventions tested in this study are the following: i) educational sessions with oncologists and nurses, ii) direct, electronic feed-back of resilience and needs screening in a monitoring sheet including intervention propositions and iii) consultation provided by a clinical nurse specialist to patients (in intervention B only) Interventions have been developed based on previous studies on the efficacy of screening of patient reported outcomes and direct feed-back to health care professionals and on previous studies on interventions to enhance resilience in nursing or psycho-oncology with proven efficacy. Interventions provided in the monitoring sheet have been validated by experienced Swiss oncology nurses, oncologists and psycho-oncologists.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Supportive Care Needs Survey 9 item version score changes

    Number of patients expressing a score change in the physical and patient care needs domain and a score change of ≥ 5 in the psychological and informational needs domain of the SCNS 9 in arms A and B

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing RESIL Intervention in people with Solid Tumor, Adult, run by Manuela Eicher.

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 4 inclusion and 5 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 Feb 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Connor Davidson Resilience Scale Score Change (time frame: week 1 (first intervention application) and week 16). 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 9 Feb 2017.
