Trial Outcomes & Findings for Mychoice: Testing an Interactive mHealth Tool (NCT NCT03427177)

NCT ID: NCT03427177

Last Updated: 2021-01-27

Results Overview

10-item scale measuring patient confidence in communicating with their physician. Participants respond to each question on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 representing "very confident,'' and 1 representing "not at all confident." The range of possible scores for the full PEPPI scale is 10 to 50 (50 representing highest patient-perceived self-efficacy).

Treatment
Participants randomized to the treatment arm of the study will be given the mychoice tool. mychoice: The mychoice communication tool begins to prepare patients to participate in a personal and tailored discussion with their provider about clinical trials as a potential treatment option. It is also customized to address the concerns of those least likely to participate, instead of providing a more general look at clinical trials- a common trait of other available tools.
Control
Participants randomized to the control arm of the study will be given existing literature from the NCI that describes clinical trials (standard information for newly diagnosed cancer patients).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and post-test (both occur on same day, day 1), one month follow-up

Population: There was participant drop off between baseline, post-test, and follow-up.

10-item scale measuring patient confidence in communicating with their physician. Participants respond to each question on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 representing "very confident,'' and 1 representing "not at all confident." The range of possible scores for the full PEPPI scale is 10 to 50 (50 representing highest patient-perceived self-efficacy).

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 1 month follow-up

Population: Participants were only asked these questions if their doctor talked to them about participating in a clinical trial prior to completing follow-up.

Measure of patient perceptions of physician effort to discuss concerns, 3 items. There is a possible range of 0-9 for each item. Higher scores represent more shared decision making.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 1 month follow-up

Population: Only participants who were offered a clinical trial were asked these questions.

Measure of patient perception of shared decision making with provider (12 items). The instrument's statements are rated on a six-point scale from ''completely disagree'' (0) to ''completely agree'' (5). Higher means indicate higher levels of perceived shared decision making.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and post-test (both occur on same day, day 1), one month follow-up

13 item measure to determine patient clarity on the risks and benefits of clinical trials, support from friends and family, and patient decision regarding cancer treatment. Items are given a score value of: 0= 'strongly agree'; 2= 'neither agree nor disagree'; 3= 'disagree'; 4= 'strongly disagree' TOTAL SCORE 16 items \[items 1-16 are inclusive\] are: a) summed; b) divided by 16; and c) multiplied by 25. Scores range from 0 \[no decisional conflict\] to 100 \[extremely high decisional conflict\]
