A Study to Determine the Efficacy of a Digital Self-management Support Tool to Improve the Quality of Life During Adjuvant HOrmonal Therapy for Patients With Early Breast Cancer

Phase 3

Not yet recruiting

• Conditions: Breast Cancer; Breast Cancer Early Stage Breast Cancer (Stage 1-3)

• Registration Number: NCT06781996
• Lead Sponsor: Gustave Roussy, Cancer Campus, Grand Paris

Brief Summary

Randomized trial that compares a personalized digitally-enabled pathway delivered by a mobile application in addition to standard of care vs. standard of care alone in patients with HR+ early breast cancer reporting endocrine therapy related adverse events.

The HOPE study is a national, prospective, randomized, open-label trial conducted in France. 180 patients will be randomly assigned 1:1 to receive either 12 weeks of multimodal Resilience© digital companion including education and self-care modules in addition to the standard of care provided by their treating oncologists and supportive care team at their care centers or 12 weeks of standard of care provided by their treating oncologists and supportive care team at their care centers.

Data from the literature in oncology trials with Patient-Reported Outcomes suggests that in the absence of double-blind concealment, clinically important differences could still be detected.

3. Prior treatment: Patients must be actively on ET for their breast cancer diagnosis (any type, including either tamoxifen or an aromatase-inhibitor with or without targeted agents) at the time of study enrollment;

4. Documentation of side effects of ongoing ET: Any endocrine therapy related adverse effects should be reported during treatment with endocrine therapy;

5. Others:

   1. Age ≥ 18 years;
   2. ECOG Performance Status 0,1 or 2;

   7. Able to readily read and understand French;

NB: Patients may have breast reconstruction during protocol participation;

NB: Biologic therapy, targeted therapy and bisphosphonates are acceptable during protocol participation;

NB: Male patients can be included in the trial;

NB: Pharmacological or other non-pharmacological interventions for endocrine treatment for adverse effects are accepted at physician discretion.

Exclusion Criteria

1. Severe cognitive impairments or severe psychiatric disorders (assessed by the investigator or mentioned in the medical file of the patient) which in the investigator's opinion would jeopardize compliance with the protocol;
2. Patient under guardianship or deprived of her/his liberty by a judicial or administrative decision or incapable of giving her/his consent;
3. Patients participating at enrollment in a behavioral interventional trial;
4. Patients suffering from physical related reversible and treatable causes of the entry endocrine therapy-related adverse events (e.g. but not limited to anemia, electrolytes unbalance, infections, renal dysfunction, active metastases hormonal unbalances [hypothyroidism, adrenal insufficiency, etc.] - according to physician's judgement.

Study & Design

• Study Type: INTERVENTIONAL
• Study Design: PARALLEL

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
To determine the efficacy of a personalized approach, consisting of a multi-component, interventional mobile application in addition to standard of care, compared with standard care alone in improving quality of life (QOL) after 12 weeks.	up to 12 weeks of intervention	The primary endpoint of the study is the ET symptoms scale of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) QOL questionnaire (QLQ)-BR45 over a 12-weeks period.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
To evaluate the impact of the intervention on other EORTC QLQ-C30 domains, including fatigue, emotional distress, pain, and sleep quality;	after 12 months of randomization
To evaluate the impact of the intervention on insomnia measured by a wearable device;	up to 12 months after randomization	Insomnia by a wearable device capturing sleep quality and sleep cycle (Withings© Pulse HR smartwatch);
To evaluate the impact of the intervention on adherence to endocrine therapy, assessed through the modified MIS-A questionnaire	up to 12 months after randomization	reliable, easy-to-use, self-administered questionnaire, validated in France that is able to longitudinally capture granular data on non-adherence to chronic medication over short and long time.
To evaluate the impact of the intervention on the perceived self-efficacy of symptom management;	up to 12 months after randomization	Perceived self-efficacy in symptom management will be evaluated using the PROMIS Self-Efficacy for Managing Chronic Conditions - Managing Symptoms - Short Form 8a questionnaire.
To evaluate the impact of the intervention on eHealth Literacy levels	up to 12 months after randomization	Ability of the patients to find, understand and use information to improve their health from electronic sources using the eHLQ questionnaire
To evaluate the implementation process including the adoption of the HOPE digitally enabled supportive care pathway (Resilience mobile application)	up to 12 weeks of intervention	Information on digital health adoption and implementation process will be measured by different criteria: - Willingness rate (Resilience© digital companion): will be defined as the rate of patients that activated a Resilience account adoption rate (Resilience© digital companion): will be defined as the rate of users who used Resilience as intended Full digital usage experience: using the experience questionnaire developped for the study
To evaluate the patient experience in using a web platform (WeShare) for collecting ePROs data.	up to 12 weeks of intervention	Using the experience questionnaire developped for the study and the French System Usability Scale
To evaluate the impact of the intervention on physical activity levels measured by a wearable device;	up to 12 weeks of intervention	Physical activity levels will be captured through a wearable device (number of steps, distance in Km and calories burned) (Withings © Pulse HR smartwatch)
