Health-Related Symptom Questionnaires in Measuring Quality of Life in HIV-Infected Participants Treated or Monitored for Anal Lesions

June 8, 2016 updated by: AIDS Malignancy Consortium

Development of a Health-Related Symptom Index for Persons Diagnosed With and Either Treated or Monitored for Anal High-Grade Squamous Intraepithelial Lesions (HSIL)

This research trial studies health-related symptom questionnaires in measuring quality of life in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected participants treated with or monitored for anal lesions. Collecting information and symptoms from patients diagnosed with anal lesions may help reduce the risk of anal cancer.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To develop an Anal Cancer/HSIL Outcomes Research Study (ANCHOR) high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) health-related quality of life (HRQoL) Index (HQI) using state-of-the-art measure development methodology that captures the most important HRQoL symptoms and concerns of those persons diagnosed with anal HSIL and either treated or untreated for anal HSIL.

OUTLINE:

Participants complete the ANCHOR HSIL HRQoL interview over 45-60 minutes, comparing the list of symptoms, concerns, or HRQOL impacts related to HSIL diagnosis and treatment. Some patients also complete a cognitive interview for up to 3 sessions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

35 years and older (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Development of an HQI using state-of-the-art measure development methodology that captures the most important HRQoL symptoms and concerns of those persons diagnosed with anal HSIL and either treated or untreated for anal HSIL.
Time Frame: Up to 4 months
Up to 4 months

Study record dates

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
April 1, 2015

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.

Study Completion (Actual)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit). The "anticipated" study completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the study completion date.
