简要总结
This trial assesses the quality of life in patients with high grade glioma and their caregivers using a questionnaire called the Beacon Patient Related Outcomes Quality of Life (PROQOL). Knowledge gained from this trial may help researchers find out if early integration of palliative care will lead to improvement in quality of life for both patients and caregivers.
详细描述
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Assess feasibility of intra-office Beacon Patient Related Outcomes Quality of Life Scale (PROQOL) assessment of patient and caregiver.
II. Assess feasibility of routine (monthly) visits with palliative care specialists.
III. Evaluate if overall quality of life of patients with high grade glioma and their caregivers improves with identifying and addressing symptoms and psychosocial concerns identified through the PROQOL tool.
IV. Evaluate if overall quality of life of patients with high grade glioma improves further with early integration of palliative care.

结局指标
主要结局
Change in feasibility of using a single question to assess prognostic understanding in patients, caregivers, and clinicians
时间窗: monthly for 6 months
At each visit, patients, their caregivers, and the clinicians will be asked to estimate survival time left with options being weeks, weeks to months, several months to years, indefinite number of years, or they may choose not to answer.
Change in feasibility of using the Beacon Patient Reported Outcomes Quality of Life Scale (PROQOL)
时间窗: monthly for six months
Patients will be randomized to 3 groups - Control (standard of care); Arm A (PROQOL + standard of care); Arm B (early palliative care + Arm A). Feasibility of conducting the assessment at monthly visits for each patient/caregiver cluster, along with early involvement of palliative care, will be assessed.
次要结局
- Discordance in prognostic understanding over time(Up to 6 months.)
- Quality of life of patients and caregivers(Up to 6 months)
