Patient Reported Outcomes/Metrics Program Trial (PROMPT)

March 3, 2026 updated by: University Health Network, Toronto

Patient Reported Outcomes/Metrics Program Trial - Palliative Radiation

This is an observational study to investigate if it is feasible to recruit 100 patients receiving radiotherapy (RT) to metastatic disease to wear Hexoskin and if Hexoskin will facilitate the monitoring, detection and early treatment of RT-related side effects.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
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

Radiotherapy is an important adjunct in the interdisciplinary care of the palliative patient population, providing the potential for improved quality of life and symptom control, often translating into improved well-being, function and mobility. Changes in pain and QOL are frequently measured subjectively using patient-reported questionnaires. Objective measures such as respiratory rate, pulse rate, activity level and sleep duration and quality, may complement the currently available tools. Such tools may lead to better evaluation of the effects of palliative RT with real-time detection of potential complications and toxicity and the acute need for analgesic adjustments that can result from successful palliative RT.

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

Non-Probability Sample

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
Rate of patient accrual
Time Frame: Over 12 months
Feasibility of accruing 100 patients to the study
Over 12 months
Frequency of radiotherapy related adverse events
Time Frame: Baseline to 12 months
Frequency of grade 2 or above radiotherapy related adverse events with extended monitoring.
Baseline to 12 months

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
Quality Adjusted Life Years (QALY)
Time Frame: Baseline to 12 months

Baseline to 12 months
Health Related Quality of Life (QOL)
Time Frame: Baseline to 12 months
Perform Health Related Quality of Life using EORTC QLQ-C30 and rate electronic survey completion.
