Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Moreover, a recent study conducted in patients receiving routine outpatient chemotherapy for advanced solid tumors showed that clinical benefits were associated with symptom self-reporting during cancer care, including the improvement of the overall survival.
The aim of the QOLIBRY project is to introduce the collection of HRQoL of cancer patients in daily clinical practice in the University Hospital of Besançon. Indeed, the goal is to make the HRQoL data accessible and exploitable in real time to physician, to help medical professionals to optimize their practices by adopting a holistic and personalized approach based on the perception of the patients of their HRQoL and symptoms.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
In this pilot study, three cancer sites were selected: breast cancer in women, colorectal cancer and lung cancer. Patients included will be invited to complete the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) QLQ-C30 cancer specific questionnaire and the specific module of their cancer site (QLQ-BR23, QLQ-CR29, QLQ-LC13) before each visit with their physician. Results from HRQoL questionnaires will be immediately available to physician through a web-based portal during the visit. As part of the pilot phase, patients will be followed during four months while HRQoL will be pursued.
Questionnaires completion will be administrated by digital tablets and/or computer terminals via the CHES software (Computer-based Health Evaluation System; http:// www.ches.pro/) at the University Hospital of Besançon just before the visit with physician or at home via secured web-portal. This tool provides a didactic and attractive presentation of the HRQOL evaluation allowing physician a better understanding and consideration of HRQoL results. Indeed, results of a routinely assessment of HRQoL will be incorporated into the patient's electronic medical record. Physicians will be alerted if a clinically significant deterioration of at least one HRQoL dimension is observed over time and/or if the HRQoL level is significantly lower than reference/ normative data. In case of deterioration of HRQoL, physician may adapted the treatment or prescribed adapted supportive cares.
This feasibility study aims to assess the acceptability of the HRQoL assessment in routinely practice: to quantify the attrition, to observe the exhaustiveness of the measure, the compliance and the ability of the patient to complete HRQoL questionnaires and finally to evaluate both patient and clinician's satisfaction. The difficulties eventually encountered by the clinical research associate and by physicians will be also collected.

Quality of Life Questionnaires
Patients will be asked to complete standardized HRQoL questionnaires: the EORTC QLQ-C30 with its specific module by cancer site (QLQ-BR23, QLQ-CR29, QLQ-LC13) at first visit before starting treatment and then before every medical consultation during four months.
