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 project aims to develop and evaluate an online programme to support patients with breast cancer on adjuvant endocrine therapy in the University Hospital Leuven. The tool "Co'moon" has been developed in the first phase of the project and secondly refine in a pilot study. In the third phase a randomised controlled study investigates the effect of Co'moon in comparison with the standard of care in the University Hospital Leuven. Hereby focussing on the improvement of self-efficacy en quality of life.

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.

How is the study designed?

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Supportive Care
  • Allocation: Randomized
  • Interventional Model: Parallel Assignment
  • Masking: None (Open Label)

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.
No Intervention: Control group

Standard of care:

  • a short overview of the physician on adjuvant endocrine therapy
  • a brochure on adjuvant endocrine therapy
  • a voluntary group session on adjuvant endocrine therapy

and a monthly questionnaire on the patient reported outcomes
Experimental: Intervention group

Standard care with the access of to the online tool Co'moon and a monthly questionnaire on patient reported outcomes.

The outcome of the questionnaires are summarized for the physician to discuss during the follow-up consultation.
Device: Co'moon (online website to support women with AET)

The tool contains three parts:

  1. e-learning based on the brochure on adjuvant endocrine therapy (AET) in the University Hospital Leuven,
  2. serious game where patients are confronted with scenes of their daily life and motivational guidelines to stimulate their self-management,
  3. a patient-reported-outcome questionnaire (PROMs), reported in the patient medical file.

The tool is designed to stimulate patients self-management of their menopausal AET-related complaints and to discuss them with their health care professionals .

Other Names:
  • Class 1 medical device

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.

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
