Not Applicable

Not yet recruiting

• Conditions: Peripheral Neuropathy Due to Chemotherapy

• Registration Number: NCT06736600
• Lead Sponsor: M.D. Anderson Cancer Center

Brief Summary

A behavioral trial aimed at helping patients identify what matters most to them and is part of a larger effort to pivot from disease-oriented care to whole-person care.

Detailed Description

Primary Objectives:

The primary objective of the pilot clinical trial is to evaluate feasibility, operationalized as attrition, acceptability, and adherence rates of the GAS measure.

Secondary Objectives:

To evaluate initial efficacy across both arms (pre-post comparison) and between arms (A-B comparison) of goal encouragement. Due to the pilot nature of this work and a lack of published effect size estimates, this trial is unlikely to be adequately powered to estimate true efficacy. However, this trial will provide a rich source of preliminary data and effect size estimates that can be utilized to conduct formal power analysis for a larger efficacy trial.

The tertiary objective will be to identify themes within the GAS measures created by participants, utilizing grounded theory inductive coding of themes into broader categories, and comparing against the common categories pre-identified within the Patient Priorities Care framework.

The quaternary objective will be to assess a novel measure of CIPN outcomes called the Individual Neuropathy Report Card against current common CIPN measures.
