About this study

To better understand your feelings and expectations about immunotherapy

Read the detailed description

Primary Objective:

  1. To compare expectations of survival benefit from immunotherapy between advanced cancer patients with poor performance status (PS) and their oncologists. We hypothesize that, compared to their oncologists, patients will have expectations for greater likelihood of survival beyond 2 years.

Secondary Objectives:

  1. To compare expectations of therapeutic benefit of immunotherapy between advanced cancer patients with poor PS and their oncologists. We hypothesize that, compared to their oncologists, patients will have expectations for greater likelihood of cure, quality of life improvement, and lower likelihood of adverse events.
  2. To qualitatively describe the priorities and preferences for information of advanced cancer patients with poor PS when considering immunotherapy treatment.
  3. To evaluate the associations between discrepant expectations with patients' sociodemographic and clinical characteristics.
  4. To compare patient and oncologist expectations with actual treatment outcomes and survival.

What participants receive

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

  • QuestionnairesBehavioural

    Participants will complete 5 questionnaires about any symptoms participants may be having, any anxiety and/or depression participants may be having, your preference in decision-making, and your expectations about your treatment. It should take about 30 minutes to complete all 5 questionnaires

  • InterviewBehavioural

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, run by M.D. Anderson 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 7 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 6 Aug 2024. 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?

Discrepancy in expectation of survival for 2 years or more between the patient and oncologist (time frame: through study completion; an average of 2 years). 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 Aug 2024.
