Evaluation of the Medical Service by Socio-aesthetics in Oncology (RCT-SE)

June 9, 2026 updated by: Centre Hospitalier de Valence

the 3-year randomized controlled RCT-SE study aims to investigate Socio-aesthetics well being care on quality of life, pain and anxiety.

The primary objective is to show that socio-aesthetics well being care improves quality of life during cancer treatment, compared to self care administration of dermo-cosmetics products

The secondary objectives are to show that socio-aesthetics well being care significantly reduced anxiety and pain compared to self care administration of dermo-cosmetics products

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

Socio-aesthetics care is the delivery appropriate beauty care in a population weakened by a physical, psychological and/or social attack.

this well-being care is imperfectly assessed with few data from randomized controlled trials.

The RCT-STudy is a randomized, controlled, multicenter, open label, intervention study that will be conducted among 400 patients treated with chemotherapy for breast, prostate, colon and lung cancer.

Patients will be randomly assigned to one of the two arms of the study according to a 1:1 ratio:

  • Group A will benefit from 4 sessions of well being care performed by a qualified socio-aesthetic person, with dermo-cosmetics product defined, during 4 consecutive chemotherapy administrations .

  • Group B (control) will apply the same dermo-cosmetics products themselves (self-care) without intervention of socio-aesthetic, during 4 consecutive chemotherapy administrations

    12 Evaluations will be conducted between chemotherapy cure N° 2 and chemotherapy cure N°5:

  • Pain assessed by Eva
  • Anxiety assessed by HADS
  • impact of socio-aesthetics care care , assessed by Patient Centricity Questionnaire (PCQ) (0 -110)

Data will be recorded using an e-CRF. patient will be recruited over 3 years and will be followed up for 3 months.

Hypothesis:

Socio-aesthetics session significantly improves quality of life and reduced pain and anxiety compared to self care administration of dermo-cosmetics products

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.

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: group A: well-being care performed by SOCIO-AESTHETICS

Group A will benefit from 4 sessions of well being care performed by a qualified socio-aesthetics, during 4 consecutive chemotherapy administrations.

Patients included will have following interventions :

quality of life: PCQ Pain: EVA Anxiety: HADS
Other: SOCIO-AESTHETICS care
SOCIO-AESTHETICS well being care performed by qualify person
No Intervention: group B: control

Group B (control) will apply the dermo-cosmetic products themselves (self-care) without intervention of the socio-aesthetician, during 4 consecutive chemotherapy administrations.

quality of life: PCQ Pain: EVA Anxiety: HADS

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
Patient Centricity Questionnaire (PCQ): Patient reported outcome: impact of supportive care
Time Frame: up to 12 weeks
Patient Centricity Questionnaire (PCQ): (0-110) higher scores mean better outcome
up to 12 weeks

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
pain EVA
Time Frame: up to 12 weeks
EVA (0-10) higher scores mean worse outcome.
up to 12 weeks
Anxiety
Time Frame: up to 12 weeks
HADS: Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (0-42) higher scores mean worse outcome.
up to 12 weeks
