Study of Palliative Care Intervention for Advanced Cancer Patients and Their Caregivers -Educate Nurture Advise Before Life Ends (ENABLE III) (ENABLE III)
Early vs. Later Palliative Cancer Care: Clinical and Biobehavioral Outcomes
ENABLE III is a randomized clinical trial that evaluates a phone-based palliative care intervention designed to improve quality of life, mood, and symptom management for patients with an advanced stage cancer and their caregivers.
The primary aims of this clinical trial are to determine whether a palliative care intervention (introduced immediately or 12 weeks after diagnosis) can improve survival, quality of life, mood, symptom intensity and end-of-life care.
연구 개요
상세 설명
In 2008, cancer claimed more than 565,000 American lives -1,500 people a day. Palliative care strives to improve quality of life (QOL) and to prevent "bad deaths" by providing expert, interdisciplinary care to manage the effects of disease and treatment. Effective end-of-life (EOL) care depends upon proactive, patient-centered interventions to prepare patients and families for the challenges of terminal illness. We were able to demonstrate the feasibility and efficacy of a concurrent oncology palliative care (COPC) intervention in improving quality of life and mood in our previous studies ENABLE I and ENABLE II; however, a number of gaps in our knowledge remain.
Patients will be randomized to begin the intervention either immediately or 12 weeks after a new diagnosis of advanced or recurrent cancer. This phone-based intervention consists of: 1) an Advanced Practice Palliative Care Nurse Interventionist instituting 1a) a 6-session manualized patient curriculum- Charting Your Course (CYC), 1b) a 3-session manualized, caregiver curriculum- the Creativity Optimism Planning Expert information (COPE) program, and 1c) on-going patient and caregiver follow up; and 2) Palliative Care Team Comprehensive Assessment & Management.

Change in patient's quality of living over time
기간: baseline, 6,12,18,24,36 and every 12 weeks until death or end of study
|
Quality of living assessments will include quality of life (QOL), mood, and symptom intensity measures using the following measures:
|
baseline, 6,12,18,24,36 and every 12 weeks until death or end of study
|
|
Quality of end of life care
기간: chart review at time of death and caregiver proxy interview 2-3 months after patient death
|
End of life (EOL) Care Data Collection Form: This form is used to collect information about the quality of EOL care and circumstances surrounding the last 48 hours of life for patients who die in hospital, nursing home, or home. Quality of Dying and Death Measure (QODD). The QODD is a structured interview conducted with a caregiver to measure the quality of a patient's last week of life. The interview assesses the caregiver's perception of patient symptoms, preferences, and satisfaction with care. |

ENABLE II recruited patients only with lung, breast, GI, and GU tumors.
We will attempt to also recruit patients with less common "poor prognosis" solid tumors (e.g.
brain) and hematologic malignancies and their caregivers for this concurrent oncology palliative care intervention.

Explore patterns of stress (diurnal salivary and plasma cortisol) and immune biomarkers (lymphocyte subsets and cytokines)
기간: Baseline, 12, and 24 weeks

We will explore patterns of stress (diurnal salivary and plasma cortisol) and immune biomarkers (lymphocyte subsets and cytokines)at baseline, 12, and 24 weeks after intervention in a subset of 50 patients with breast, lung, GI, and GU cancer. We hypothesize that stabilized or improved biomarkers of stress and immune function will be evident after Early and Later entry intervention participation. |
