Patient Priorities for Survivorship Care in Older Breast Cancer Survivors

Phase 1
Not yet recruiting
Conditions
Breast Cancer Survivorship
Interventions
Behavioral: Adapted Patient Priorities Care (PPC) approach
Other: Usual Care
Registration Number
NCT06478589
Lead Sponsor
The University of Texas Health Science Center, Houston
Brief Summary

The objective of this study is to adapt the Patient Priorities Care (PPC) framework to breast cancer survivorship via a user-centered approach, through an iterative process in which patients and their physicians help to refine and modify the intervention. A second objective is to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of the adapted PPC framework in breast cancer survivorship for older adults.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Health status as assessed by the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Breast (FACT-B)6 months

The Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy- Breast (FACT-B) is a standardized approach to objectively evaluate and quantify the overall health status of patients with subscales measuring physical, social, emotional, and functional well-being. Total score ranges from 0 to 148, where a higher score indicates a better outcome.

Treatment burden as assessed by the treatment burden questionnaire (TBQ)6 months

The treatment burden questionnaire (TBQ) measures perceptions of burden of overall care (for example, medication taking, self monitoring, visits to the provider, tests, tasks to access and coordinate care). Total score ranges from 0 to 150, and a higher score indicates greater perceived burden.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of participants who adhere to survivorship basic recommendationsfrom baseline to 12 months

Survivorship basic recommendations for breast cancer survivors, as recommended by the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) guidelines, include receiving a detailed cancer-related history and physical examination every 3-6 months for the first 3 years and every 6 to 12 months for the next 2 years, as well as having an annual mammogram (unilateral if for unilateral mastectomies or bilateral for patients with lumpectomies or other breast conserving strategies).

Number of participants who adhere to priorities-driven survivorship recommendationsfrom baseline to 12 months

Adherence to priorities-driven survivorship recommendations will focus on adherence to medications, self-management tasks, procedures, tests or referrals recommended during survivorship care based on patient's priorities.
