Oncology Research Information Exchange Network (ORIEN) Lung Cancer Study
- Conditions
- Non-small Cell Lung CancerLung Cancer
- Interventions
- Other: No Intervention
- Registration Number
- NCT02803333
- Brief Summary
The Moffitt Cancer Center and PatientsLikeMe.com (PLM), an online patient community, are working together to better understand the patient's entire lung cancer experience, both inside and outside the doctor's office. By combining the data that is captured by their care team in the clinic with the data participants enter at their home on PatientsLikeMe.com, the investigators hope to improve patient-physician treatment decisions, so that the patient's personal treatment goals and quality of life have the highest chances of being fulfilled.
- Detailed Description
The aim of the study is to assess the real-world patient experience by evaluating the patients' quality of life, treatment toxicities, and clinical measures over a 6-month period. The ultimate goal of this research is to improve patient-physician treatment decisions, so that the patient's personal treatment goals and quality of life have the highest chances of being fulfilled.
Aim 1. To track the toxicities/side-effects of FDA approved molecular targeted agents, immunotherapies, and combinations of treatments for NSCLC in a clinical setting for six months.
Aim 2. To assess the impact of these treatment regimens on patient toxicities, symptoms, function, and quality of life, after adjustment for clinical factors and patient characteristics during the 6 month follow-up period.

Patients receiving any other treatments will be tracked for treatment outcomes, as well as to serve as comparison participants during data analyses of outcomes associated with PD-1/PDL-1 or EGFR-TKI).
- Consented separately to the Total Cancer Care (TCC) protocol
- Have access to the internet
- Willing to enroll in the free online health tracking and patient community "PatientsLikeMe"
- Patients enrolled in Phase I clinical trial protocols
- Patients enrolled in Phase II, III or IV clinical trials involving blinded therapies (patients in open label trials will be eligible)

Group Intervention Description Data Capture Participants No Intervention This is a prospective observational cohort study of advanced non-small cell lung cancer patients (stage 3b/4) receiving treatment at the Moffitt Cancer Center (MCC) or The Ohio State Comprehensive Cancer Center (OSUCCC) to assess treatment impact at monthly intervals from baseline to 6 months post-enrollment.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Number of Participants with Cancer Treatment Changes 6 months post enrollment Clinical, molecular, and patient-reported data will be collected from participants. Participants will be asked if their treatment course has changed and, if so, what changes have occurred. These questions are primarily meant to identify the number of patients who were switched from one treatment regimen (e.g., chemotherapy) to either PD-1/PDL-1 inhibitor treatment (immunotherapy) or tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs).
