The effectiveness and implementation of a STEpwise program to promote INGeniouS ONline supportive solutions for self-management of cancer-related fatigue: The STEPPING-STONe digitally enabled randomized trial
Background
Fatigue is one of the most common and disturbing symptoms patients face throughout the cancer care continuum, and it is sub optimally addressed in routine care. Developing effective and scalable tools for symptom management is a central unmet need for achieving comprehensive and patient-centric cancer care delivery. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of three digital aid modalities for cancer related fatigue (CRF) focusing on patient empowerment and self-management.
Methods
Hybrid type 2 effectiveness-implementation randomized clinical trial. A total of 372 patients diagnosed with cancer and moderate to severe self-reported CRF will be randomized 1:1:1 into one of three intervention arms: educational mobile app, educational mobile app powered with a self-guided fatigue self-management program, or educational mobile app powered with the fatigue self-management program and interactive coaching. Clinical trial procedures will benefit from a pragmatic online platform for digitally enabled research allowing eligibility screening, electronic consent, randomization and collection of patient-reported outcomes and clinical data. The primary endpoint is the difference in fatigue scores measured by the EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire between baseline and three months after the end of the program. Secondary endpoints include short and long-term impact on fatigue scores including fatigue subdomains, self-efficacy, overall quality of life, use of health resources, as well a detailed implementation evaluation of both the study intervention and the digitally enabled trial procedures.
Discussion
This study will provide high-level evidence on the effectiveness and implementation of digital interventions for CRF. It will also demonstrate the feasibility of using technology to streamline clinical trial procedures.
期刊介绍:
Contemporary Clinical Trials is an international peer reviewed journal that publishes manuscripts pertaining to all aspects of clinical trials, including, but not limited to, design, conduct, analysis, regulation and ethics. Manuscripts submitted should appeal to a readership drawn from disciplines including medicine, biostatistics, epidemiology, computer science, management science, behavioural science, pharmaceutical science, and bioethics. Full-length papers and short communications not exceeding 1,500 words, as well as systemic reviews of clinical trials and methodologies will be published. Perspectives/commentaries on current issues and the impact of clinical trials on the practice of medicine and health policy are also welcome.
