Assessment of Compliance With Monitoring Conducted by a Physician in Person or by a Nurse in Remote Monitoring (SUR-CAN)

March 19, 2024 updated by: Centre Oscar Lambret

Randomized Phase II Trial Evaluating Compliance With Monitoring Conducted Either by a Hospital-based Physician in Person or by a Nurse in Remote Monitoring

This is a multicenter, interventional, randomized study among adult patients recently diagnosed with a rare tumor (<12 months). The study will aim to compare compliance with the personalized post-treatment surveillance plan, established for each patient according to national guidelines, when the surveillance is conducted in person by a hospital-based physician (control arm) or remotely by a trained nurse (experimental arm).

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The primary objective of this study is to compare 2-year compliance with the personalized post-treatment surveillance plan between the two arms.

The secondary objectives are to compare between the two arms :

  • Long-term compliance (5-year follow-up)
  • Use of care
  • Oncological events and their management
  • Supportive care needs

The exploratory objectives are to :

  • Evaluate the costs in terms of medical transportation
  • Evaluate and compare patients' satisfaction and psychological well-being (in terms of anxiety/depression)
  • Evaluate the homogeneity of the impact of the intervention according to covariates (gender, tumor pathology, occupational status, and center)
  • Evaluate the reasons for recruitment failures

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
2-year compliance to the customized surveillance plan
Time Frame: 2 years
Compliance is defined by completion of all scheduled examinations (telephone contact, biological, clinical examination and imaging examination) with a margin of + or - 30 days from the scheduled date
2 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
5-year compliance to the customized surveillance plan
Time Frame: 5 years
Compliance is defined by completion of all scheduled examinations (telephone contact, biological, clinical examination and imaging examination) with a margin of + or - 30 days from the scheduled date
5 years
Drop-out rate
Time Frame: 5 years
Rate of patients lost to follow-up or quitting the surveillance program
5 years
Description of the use of care
Time Frame: 5 years
  • number of physical consultations at the investigator site
  • number of emergency room visits for oncological reasons
  • number of extra-hospital consultations for oncological reasons
5 years
Occurrence and management of oncological events
Time Frame: 5 years

Occurence and type of oncological event : relapse/progression.

The management of oncological events will be evaluated according to three criteria :

  • completion of an oncological surgery
  • implementation of a treatment by radiotherapy
  • implementation of a systemic therapy such as chemotherapy
5 years
Progression-free survival
Time Frame: 5 years
Time from randomization to first oncological event (progression/relapse) or death from any cause.
5 years
Overall survival
Time Frame: 5 years
Time from randomization to death from any cause
5 years
Support care needs identified
Time Frame: 2 years (early termination in case of relapse of the disease)

Support care needs include :

  • algology consultation
  • nutrition/diet consultation
  • psycho-oncology consultation
  • social worker consultation
  • job retention consultation

Other Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Costs in terms of medical transport use
Time Frame: 5 years
Medical transport includes light medical vehicles and ambulances
5 years
Salary mass mobilized from a hospital perspective in both arms
Time Frame: 5 years
Salary mass mobilized from a hospital perspective in both arms
5 years
Patient satisfaction
Time Frame: 2 years
Patients will answer a satisfaction survey (French Version of the Princess Margaret Hospital Satisfaction With Doctor) at different points of the study depending on their pathology
2 years
Patient reported outcomes
Time Frame: 2 years

Patient reported outcomes will be evaluated using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) questionnaire at different points of the study depending on their pathology.

The questionnaire consists of a list of questions to determine the level of anxiety and depression experienced by the patients. Each question is scored from 0-3 and this means that a person can score between 0 and 21 for either anxiety or depression:

A score equal to or less than 7 indicates no symptoms, A score of 8 - 10 indicates a questionable symptoms, A score of 11 and above confirms of the presence of anxiety and/or depression symptoms.

2 years
Evaluation of the causes of recruitment failures
Time Frame: During the recruiting period (18 months)
In each investigating site, a screening log will be completed to find out the reasons for recruitment failures
During the recruiting period (18 months)
