CONNECT: Smoking Cessation and Lung Cancer Screening

September 14, 2023 updated by: University of California, San Francisco
This clinical trial studies the impact of CONNECT on biochemically confirmed smoking abstinence among diverse current smokers who are undergoing lung cancer screening.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

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

The study team will develop and test a novel smoking cessation intervention, CONNECT, which will start at the time an individual is receiving lung cancer screening (LCS). CONNECT will include an interactive Video Doctor which will provide participants with information tailored to their individual responses as well as proactive outreach using brief telephone calls and text messaging to follow up smokers with motivation enhancement to refer and engage patients in evidence based smoking cessation interventions (such as quitline utilization). After development and usability testing, we will conduct a small feasibility study followed by a pilot randomized controlled trial to estimate the impact of CONNECT on biochemically confirmed 30-day smoking abstinence among diverse current smokers seen at the San Francisco Veterans Affairs Medical Center and the University of California San Francisco Division of General Internal Medicine. Participants will be randomized to CONNECT or a control condition. Data will include self-report from participants obtained at baseline, 1 and 3 months, and the electronic health record. Outcomes will be biochemically confirmed 30-day smoking abstinence at 3 months post LCS and satisfaction as well as self-reported quit attempts, and use of evidence-based smoking cessation resources (quitline, pharmacotherapy or counseling). The knowledge gained will provide the pilot data necessary to apply for a larger study to test our novel intervention for promoting smoking cessation among a diverse population of high-risk smokers undergoing Lung Cancer Screening.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

Enrollment (Actual)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.
99

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

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.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
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.
Experimental: Experimental: Intervention Group (CONNECT)
Patients complete CONNECT, the Video Doctor over 30-45 minutes on an iPad in the waiting room before their lung cancer screening test appointment.
Other: Computer-Assisted Intervention Video Doctor
Complete CONNECT: participants will undergo in-person assessment questions and follow-up assessment questions. They will view and participate in the interactive Video Doctor about Smoking Cessation.
Active Comparator: Control Group

Patients complete CONNECT assessment only over 30-45 minutes on an iPad in the waiting room before their lung cancer screening test appointment.

Individuals who are randomized to the control group will undergo the same assessment questions and all follow up assessments like the intervention group. Instead of viewing and participating in the interactive Video Doctor about Smoking Cessation, they receive a handout containing smoking cessation resources.
Other: Computer-Assisted Intervention no Video Doctor
Individuals who are randomized to the control group will undergo the same assessment questions and all follow up assessments like the intervention group. Instead of viewing and participating in the interactive Video Doctor about Smoking Cessation, they receive a handout containing smoking cessation resources.

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
Assessing 30-day smoking abstinence at 3 months post lung cancer screening.
Time Frame: Up to 3 months from date of lung cancer screening appointment.
Biochemically confirmed 30-day smoking abstinence at 3 months post lung cancer screening.
Up to 3 months from date of lung cancer screening appointment.
Number of participants with Self-reported quit attempts
Time Frame: Up to 3 months from date of lung cancer screening appointment.
Self-reported quit attempts will be measured to assess smoking behavioral changes.
Up to 3 months from date of lung cancer screening appointment.
Percentage of participants who used of evidence-based smoking cessation resources
Time Frame: Up to 3 months from date of lung cancer screening appointment.
Use of evidence-based smoking cessation resources such as quitline, pharmacotherapy or counseling will be measured to assess smoking behavioral changes.
Up to 3 months from date of lung cancer screening appointment.

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.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in Participation rate over time
Time Frame: Up to 18 months.
Participation rate, including those who decline to participate and who drop out will be reported as proportions. The data will be compared between the two groups (intervention and control) using the appropriate general linear models with generalized estimating equations (GEE) to account for provider clusters.
