About this study

Official title: Patient Decision Aid for Chemotherapy or Exclusion in Cisplatin-Intolerant Patients With Locally Advanced Cervical Cancer (CECIL): Development, Validation and Clinical Testing

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the utility and effectiveness of a decision aid in cisplatin-intolerant patients with locally advanced cervical cancer.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

  1. What is the effectiveness of the decision aid in reducing decisional conflict?
  2. What is the utility of the decision aid in preparing for decision-making?

Participants will be asked to accomplish the Decisional Conflict Scale before and after using the decision aid.

Researchers will compare patients given routine care and the decision aid with patients given routine care to see if the decision aid reduces decisional conflict.

Read the detailed description

In locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC), adding chemotherapy (ChT) to radiotherapy (RT) improves survival at the cost of increased toxicity. Among patients with cisplatin contraindications, compliance to RT may be compromised. Shared decision-making (SDM) allows for more patient engagement in the decision-making process and decision implementation planning. In cancer-related decision-making, patient decision aids (PtDA) facilitate the SDM process and have increased patient knowledge and satisfaction and decreased decisional conflict and attitudinal barriers improved patient satisfaction and treatment compliance.

The CECIL study is a two-phase study to develop, validate and test the effectiveness of a PtDA for cisplatin-intolerant LACC patients faced with the decision of adding ChT to RT. Phase 1 is a mixed-methods study to develop a PtDA prototype and determine its content validity and user acceptability. Phase 2 is a block-randomized clinical trial to determine its effectiveness in reducing decisional conflict and its utility in preparing for decision-making. Adult women with biopsy-proven untreated LACC with cisplatin contraindications will be included in this trial.

What participants receive

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

  • CECIL Patient Decision AidBehavioural

    Also called Decision Support Intervention

    The CECIL patient decision aid explicitly identifies the disease, the index decision, and the treatment options, describes the positive and negative features and consequences of each option, and guides the patient in examining personal values and preferences, to arrive at a quality and realistic decision.

    The decision aid will be developed and validated according to the guidelines and standards published by the International Patient Decision Aids Standards (IPDAS) Collaboration.

What is being measured

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

  1. Decisional conflict

    Decisional Conflict Scale (DCS) scores of ≥25 will indicate significant decisional conflict. The proportion of participants having pretest (baseline) and posttest decisional conflict scores of ≥25 for each group will be reported.

    Measured: Prior to the second consultation visit (for treatment decision and implementation planning), usually within one week

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Utility in preparation for decision-making

    For the experimental group, the overall utility of the decision will be measured using the Preparation for Decision-Making Scale (PDMS). This will be reported as the averaged individual user mean scores using the PDMS and the confidence interval.

    Measured: After use of the patient decision aid and prior to the second consultation visit (for treatment decision and implementation planning), usually within one week

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing CECIL Patient Decision Aid in people with Locally Advanced Cervical Carcinoma, run by University of Santo Tomas Hospital, Philippines at 3 sites in Philippines.

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 5 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Feb 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Philippines. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

What does the primary outcome measure?

Decisional conflict (time frame: Prior to the second consultation visit (for treatment decision and implementation planning), usually within one week). 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 NCT05701735, 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 23 Feb 2024.
