About this study

Official title: Effect of Incidental Findings Information on Lung Cancer Screening Intent: A Randomized Controlled Trial

This online randomized controlled trial seeks to determine if inclusion of incidental findings information in a lung cancer screening decision aid affects screening intent among screening-eligible individuals. Participants will view either a decision aid with incidental findings information or without and indicate their intent to pursue lung cancer screening.

Hypothesis: Inclusion of incidental findings in a decision aid will decrease intent to screen among participants.

Being tested
Lung Cancer Screening Decision Aid with Incidental Findings Information, Lung Cancer Screening Decision Aid without Incidental Findings Information

What participants receive

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

  • Lung Cancer Screening Decision Aid with Incidental Findings InformationBehavioural

    The intervention consists of a previously tested and developed brief lung cancer screening video decision aid with the addition of information on incidental findings for lung cancer screening.

  • Lung Cancer Screening Decision Aid without Incidental Findings InformationBehavioural

    The intervention consists of a previously tested and developed brief lung cancer screening video decision aid that does not include information on incidental findings.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of individuals who plan to pursue lung cancer screening

    This will be assessed by a survey item where participants indicate their response to a statement of whether they plan to pursue lung cancer screening, with answer choices being strongly agree, agree, disagree and strongly disagree. Comparison between the intervention and control groups will be made.

    Measured: Day 1

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Mean score on scale of lung cancer screening knowledge

    Lung cancer screening knowledge tested by 6 multiple choice questions on facts of the benefit and harms of screening. The questions will be answered before and after participants watch a lung cancer screening decision aid. Scores will be determined by the number of correct answers for questions.

    Measured: Day 1

  2. Mean rating of benefit and harms of screening

    Participants will rate (Likert 1-5 scale with 1 being less important and 5 being more important) 6 lung cancer screening benefits and harms on importance to them.

    Measured: Day 1

  3. Percentage of Time Lung Cancer Screening Benefit and Harms are ranked first and last

    Participants will rank six lung cancer screening benefits and harms.

    Measured: Day 1

  4. Mean ranking of benefit and harms of screening

    Participants will rank six lung cancer screening benefits and harms.

    Measured: Day 1

  5. Percentage of time each lung cancer screening harm is ranked highest of the five potential harms

    Participants will rank six lung cancer screening benefits and harms.

    Measured: Day 1

  6. Mean ranking of incidental findings attribute

    Participants will rank six lung cancer screening benefits and harms, including one on incidental findings. Comparison of mean ranking will be made between the intervention and control groups.

    Measured: Day 1

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Lung Cancer Screening Decision Aid with Incidental Findings Information and Lung Cancer Screening Decision Aid without Incidental Findings Information in people with Neoplasm of Lung and Decision Support Techniques, run by UNC Lineberger Comprehensive 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 3 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 10 Dec 2020. 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 individuals who plan to pursue lung cancer screening (time frame: Day 1). 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 NCT04432753, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 10 Dec 2020.
