QoLiCOL - Quality of Life in Colon Cancer (QoLiCOL)

November 3, 2023 updated by: Eva Angenete, Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Sweden
All patients presenting at participating hospitals during the recruitment period with a newly diagnosed colon cancer, regardless of stage and planned treatment, will be eligible for inclusion. They will answer a questionnaire on health related quality of life, physical symptoms, functional impairments and socioeconomic status at diagnosis and after 12, 36 months. Clinical data including recurrence, survival, surgical treatment, oncologic result (pathology report) and adjuvant treatment will be collected from the Swedish ColoRectal Cancer Registry (SCRCR)

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Active, not recruiting

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

QoLiCOL is an explorative, prospective, longitudinal, non-interventional, international, multicenter study of health-related quality of life, physical symptoms, functional impairments and socioeconomic burden in colon cancer patients. All patients presenting at participating hospitals during the recruitment period with a newly diagnosed rectal cancer, regardless of stage and planned treatment, will be eligible for inclusion. Patients will be followed for 3 years. They will be asked to answer questionnaires at three different time points during follow-up: at diagnosis and after 12 and 36 months. Clinical data, including recurrence, surgical treatment, oncologic result (pathology report) and adjuvant treatment will be collected from the national quality registry for rectal cancer in Denmark and Sweden. As these registries differ in some areas between the countries, additional data will be collected through short CRF:s.

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

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Sampling Method

Probability Sample

Study Population

Patients with colon cancer prior to treatment initiation.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Colon cancer newly diagnosed.
  • Planned treatment presented

Exclusion Criteria:

  • No Colon cancer diagnosis,
  • below 18 years of age,
  • no informed consent or withdrawn informed consent.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
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.

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
Measure Description
Time Frame
QoL in colon cancer patients
Time Frame: 3 years
The primary end-point is to describe QoL, symptoms and functional impairments in an unselected population of colon cancer patients
3 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.

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.
