Developing an Online Clinical Trial Specific Question Prompt List

Not Applicable

Terminated

• Conditions: Cancer
• Interventions: Behavioral: QPL-CT

• Registration Number: NCT02030379
• Lead Sponsor: Virginia Commonwealth University

Brief Summary

The investigators will leverage e-technologies to provide an online version of the Question Prompt LIst (QPL-CT), that patients access via available iPads, enabling both the real-time prioritizing of patient questions as well as the seamless delivery of these questions to their treating physician (and other members of their clinical team) via the VCU Health System (VCUHS) patient portal, and the electronic medical record (EMR) prior to a consultation to discuss a clinical trial

Detailed Description

The investigators propose to conduct pilot work to inform our knowledge of optimal methods of utilizing QPLs and will use the QPL-CT as an example. The investigators will leverage e-technologies to provide an online version of the QPL-CT, that patients access via available iPads, enabling both the real-time prioritizing of patient questions as well as the seamless delivery of these questions to their treating physician (and other members of their clinical team) via the VCU Health System (VCUHS) patient portal, and the EMR prior to a consultation to discuss a clinical trial. The investigators will use a pilot randomized clinical trial design to demonstrate the efficacy of the online QPL-CT versus a paper and pencil QPL-CT to increase question asking, patient understanding of trial information and reduce patients conflict over their upcoming decision to join a trial

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Online QPL-CT	QPL-CT	Use the online QPL-CT to prioritize their questions.
Online QPL-CT to Oncologist	QPL-CT	Use the online QPL-CT to prioritize their questions and the prioritized list will be conveyed to their oncologist
Pencil and Paper QPL-CT	QPL-CT	Use pencil and paper QPL-CT to prioritize their questions

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Online QPL-CT to Oncologist	30 days	Use online QPL-CT to prioritize their questions and the prioritized list will be conveyed to their oncologist. Investigators will evaluate the efficacy of the online QPL-CT to increase question asking, patient understanding of trial information and reduce patients conflict over their upcoming decision to join a trial.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Impact of providing physicians patient's QPL-CT	30 days	Examine the impact of providing physicians their patient's prioritized QPL-CT on information provision and decision making process as measured by the Decision Analysis System for Oncology
