Patient Reported Outcome Measures After Treatment of Skin Cancers on the Face

November 20, 2023 updated by: University Hospital, Basel, Switzerland

Patient Reported Outcome Measures After Treatment of Skin Cancers on the Face - a Pilot Study

This study is to evaluate the psychological well-being in patients diagnosed with skin cancer (melanoma and Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) in the face) at the time of diagnosis and after treatment. Patients diagnosed with primary melanoma and/or SCC and/or infiltrative basal cell carcinoma on the face subjected to surgical treatment (excision or Mohs Surgery) will be included. All patients will receive questionnaires.

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.

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

Design Details

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
Change in Belastungs-Thermometer questionnaire
Time Frame: at Screening Visit (V1), V3 (7 days post surgery), V4 (90 days post surgery), V5 (180 days post surgery), V6 (360 days post surgery)
extent of distress on a scale from 0-10 (0=no distress, 10=extremely distress).
at Screening Visit (V1), V3 (7 days post surgery), V4 (90 days post surgery), V5 (180 days post surgery), V6 (360 days post surgery)

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 European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC-QLQ-C30) questionnaire
Time Frame: at Screening Visit (V1), V3 (7 days post surgery), V4 (90 days post surgery), V5 (180 days post surgery), V6 (360 days post surgery)
TheEORTC- QLQ-C30 is composed of both multiitem scales and single-item measures. These include 5 functional scales (cognitive, CF; emotional, EF; physical, PF; role, RF; and social functioning, SF), 3 symptom scales (fatigue, FA; nausea/vomiting, NV; and pain, PA), a global health status/QoL scale and 5 single items assessing additional symptoms (appetite loss, AP; constipation, CO; diarrhea, DI; dyspnea, DY; and sleep disturbance, SL) and perceived financial impact, FI. Each of the multiitem scales includes a different set of items-no item occurs in more than 1 scale. All of the scales and single-item measures range in score from 0-100. A high scale score represents a higher response level.
at Screening Visit (V1), V3 (7 days post surgery), V4 (90 days post surgery), V5 (180 days post surgery), V6 (360 days post surgery)
Change in WHO-DAS questionnaire
Time Frame: at Screening Visit (V1), V3 (7 days post surgery), V4 (90 days post surgery), V5 (180 days post surgery), V6 (360 days post surgery)
The WHO-DAS measures items in six domains of functioning as experienced over the past 30 days: mobility, self-care, life activities, understanding and communicating (U&C), interpersonal interactions, and participation in society. The 12-item tool assesses each domain with two items that are measured on a 3-point scale in which 1 indicates no disability, 2 indicates mild to moderate disability, and 3 indicates severe to extreme disability. These items were summed to generate a total score between 12 (no disability) and 36 (maximum disability).
at Screening Visit (V1), V3 (7 days post surgery), V4 (90 days post surgery), V5 (180 days post surgery), V6 (360 days post surgery)
Change in FACE-Q questionnaire
Time Frame: at Screening Visit (V1), V3 (7 days post surgery), V4 (90 days post surgery), V5 (180 days post surgery), V6 (360 days post surgery)
The FACE-Q questionnaire measures three overarching domains: facial appearance, quality of life and experience of care over the past 7 days. The FACE-Q Skin Cancer Module is composed of 56 items with scales from 1-4 which range in scoring from 0-100. The FACE-Q Skin Cancer module includes two quality of life scales measuring appearance-related distress and skin cancer worry. Additionally, the participants will be asked about skin protection behaviours and adverse events following the skin cancer treatment. The FACE-Q appearance scale consists of satisfaction with the appearance of the face overall and how bothered a patient is by facial scars
at Screening Visit (V1), V3 (7 days post surgery), V4 (90 days post surgery), V5 (180 days post surgery), V6 (360 days post surgery)
Change in photos of the patients' tumors
