简要总结
This clinical trial studies how well a nurse-driven telephone intervention improves side effects in patients with cancer who are undergoing chemotherapy. Receiving calls from a nurse at home while receiving chemotherapy may improve the management of side effects and overall care in cancer patients.
详细描述
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To explore the feasibility of a proactive nurse-driven telephone triage intervention for patients with cancer receiving first-line chemotherapy in the ambulatory setting.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To explore the symptom experience of patients receiving a nurse-driven telephone triage intervention while receiving chemotherapy in the ambulatory setting.
II. To explore the satisfaction of patients receiving a nurse-driven telephone triage intervention while receiving chemotherapy in the ambulatory setting.

入选标准
- •English speaking
- •Newly diagnosed patients with a breast, sarcoma, or head and neck cancer diagnosis preparing to undergo first-line, standard of care chemotherapy (patients with head and neck cancer may be undergoing concurrent first-line chemotherapy and radiation treatment)
- •All chemotherapy treatment to be completed at the study institution
排除标准
- •Patients who have received previous chemotherapy treatment for cancer
- •Patients who will be receiving chemotherapy on research protocols
- •Pregnant patients, as they may be on unique treatment protocols outside standard of care or have symptom needs that are beyond the scope of this intervention
- •Patients who are unable to verbalize (e.g. due to tracheostomy)
结局指标
主要结局
Feasibility of completing nurse-driven telephone triage calls
时间窗: Up to 25 weeks
Completion is defined as the patient answering the call and completing the assessment; the target completion rate is set as 70%. Completion of nurse-driven calls will be assessed separately by center (breast, sarcoma, head and neck) and globally across all centers. The study will declare the intervention to be feasible within a center if the 90% confidence interval for completion rate is completely above 70% or contains 70%. To calculate the confidence interval, the study will construct a generalized linear mixed model with only a term for intercept.
次要结局
