Study Overview

Comparative Effectiveness Trial of Two Supportive Cancer Care Delivery Models for Adults With Cancer

This cluster-randomized comparative effectiveness trial compares a technology-based supportive cancer care (SCC) approach with a redesigned team-based supportive cancer care (SCC) approach.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. Greater intervention effects on health-related quality of life SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. Greater intervention effects on patient activation II. Greater satisfaction with care and decision-making III. Greater documentation of goals of care and symptoms IV. To lower acute care V. Greater palliative care and hospice OUTLINE: Sites are randomized to 1 of 2 arms. ARM A: Patients receive educational materials to assist with advance care planning and symptom management through a technology-based supportive cancer care weekly during months 1-4 and every other week during months 5-12. ARM B: Patients are paired with a lay health worker who will discuss the same educational materials from ARM A either in person or by telephone discussions weekly during months 1-4 and every other week during months 5-12. All participants complete a baseline interview upon enrollment during the initial consent phone contact and then a survey at 3-, 6-and 12-months post enrollment.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group/ArmIntervention/Treatment
ACTIVE_COMPARATOR: Technology-based supportive cancer care

Patients receive educational materials to assist with advance care planning and symptom management through a technology-based supportive cancer care weekly during months 1-4 and every other week during months 5-12.

OTHER: Receive technology-based supportive cancer care

  • All participants will receive an electronic health record message or email with standardized information provided regarding advance care planning and symptom management.
EXPERIMENTAL: Redesigned team-based supportive cancer care

Patients are paired with a health educator who will discuss the same educational materials from ARM A either in person or by telephone discussions weekly during months 1-4 and every other week during months 5-12.

BEHAVIORAL: Receive redesigned team-based supportive cancer care

  • Lay Health Workers will meet with 1:1 with participants over 12 months to discuss advance care planning, surrogate decision-makers, advance directives and physician orders for life sustaining treatment.
Primary Outcome MeasuresMeasure DescriptionTime Frame
Change in health-related quality of life as assessed by the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy (FACT-G).Each patient will receive a health-related quality of life survey (FACT-G) at baseline, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months.Change in health-related quality of life from baseline to 3 months
Secondary Outcome MeasuresMeasure DescriptionTime Frame
Change in health-related quality of life as assessed by the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy (FACT-G).Each patient will receive a health-related quality of life survey (FACT-G) at baseline, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months.Change in health-related quality of life from baseline to 6, and 12 months
Change in patient activation using the Patient Activation Measure (PAM-13).Each patient will receive a validated patient activation survey (PAM-13) to assess their activation at baseline, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months.Change in patient activation from baseline to 3, 6, and 12 months
Change in satisfaction with care using the Consumer Assessment of Health Care (Providers and Systems (CAHPS) Cancer Care Survey Questions #39 and #42.Each patient will receive a validated satisfaction with care survey at baseline, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months.Change in satisfaction with care from baseline to 3, 6, and 12 months
Change in satisfaction with decision using the Satisfaction with Decision Scale (SWD)Each patient will receive a validated satisfaction with decision survey at baseline, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months.Change in satisfaction with decision from baseline to 3, 6, and 12 months

Hospice Care Use (Self-reported and Chart Review)Hospice care use will be self-reported by each patient or abstracted by electronic medical record at 3, 6, and 12 months after patient enrollment.3, 6, and 12 months after patient enrollment
Emergency Department Visits (Self-reported and Chart Review)Emergency Department use will be self-reported by each patient or abstracted by electronic medical record at 3, 6, and 12 months after enrollment.3, 6, and 12 months after patient enrollment
Hospitalization Visits (Self-reported and Chart Review)Hospital use for each patient will be self-reported by each patient or abstracted by electronic medical record at 3, 6, and 12 months after enrollment.3, 6, and 12 months after patient enrollment
Documentation of goals of care discussions (Chart Review)Documentation of goals of care discussions will be abstracted by electronic medical record chart review for each patient at 3, 6, and 12 months after enrollment.3, 6, and 12 months after patient enrollment
Documentation of symptom discussions (Chart Review)Documentation of symptom discussions will be abstracted by electronic medical record chart review for each patient at 3, 6, and 12 months after enrollment.3, 6, and 12 months after patient enrollment
