Cancer Oriented Understanding and Navigation Via Supportive and Educational Language Models (COUNSEL)
A randomized, open-label behavioral study designed to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and early impact of a large language model (LLM)-based artificial intelligence (AI) tool to support patient understanding following an initial oncology consultation.

Descrição detalhada
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To evaluate the impact of a LLM-based intervention on patients' perceived quality, breadth, and depth of cancer-related information following a radiation or surgical oncology consult.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To assess patient- and provider-perceived levels of shared decision making. II. To evaluate changes in patient-reported distress. III. To compare concordance between patient and provider perceptions of shared decision making.
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:
I. To identify qualitative themes and usage patterns in patient interactions with the LLM.
II. To evaluate resource utilization based on information-seeking behavior logs collected during follow-up.
OUTLINE: Participants will be randomized to an intervention or control arm. Participants will attend two teleconference meetings: the first within 2 days after an oncology consultation and a follow-up session approximately 21 days later. Participants will also complete study surveys and logs.

Mean differences on EORTC QLQ-INFO25 - Patient-Perceived Cancer-Related Information
Prazo: Up to 2 days
|
Patient-perceived quality, breadth, and depth of cancer-related information received following an oncology consultation, as measured by the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-INFO25) survey. The EORTC QLQ-INFO25 comprises four multi-item scales and eight single items to assess the level and quality of information received by cancer patients. Scores for all scales and single items range from 0-100. The survey uses a 4-point Likert scale (1 = "not at all' to 4 = "very much") and some yes/no questions. Higher scores represent a greater patient-perceived level of shared decision-making. Mean differences between treatment groups will be reported with 95% confidence intervals, along with Hedges' g effect sizes. A Mann-Whitney U test will be used for sensitivity analysis. |

Mean differences on SDM-Q-9 and SDM-Q-Doc - Patient- and Provider-Perceived Shared Decision Making
Prazo: Day 21
|
Perceived shared decision making will be assessed from both patient and clinician perspectives using the 9-item Shared Decision Making Questionnaire (SDM-Q-9) and the Shared Decision Making Questionnaire-Physician Version (SDM-Q-Doc), respectively. Each item is rated on a 6-point Likert scale from 0 (completely disagree) to 5 (completely agree), with total scores ranging from 0 to 45. Higher scores indicate greater perceived levels of shared decision making from the patient or clinician perspective. Mean differences between groups will be reported using Welch's t-test, along with the 95% confidence intervals. |
Day 21
|
|
Mean differences on NCCN Distress Thermometer - Patient-Reported Distress
Prazo: Up to 21 days
|
Patient-reported distress will be assessed using the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) Distress Thermometer at Day 2 and Day 21. The Distress Thermometer is a single-item measure rated on a 0-10 scale, where 0 = "No distress" and 10 = "Extreme distress. Mean differences will be reported with 95% confidence intervals, along with Hedges' g effect sizes and 95% confidence intervals. Descriptive statistics will also be reported. |
Up to 21 days
|
|
Patient-Provider Concordance in Shared Decision Making
Prazo: Day 21
|
Concordance between patient and provider perceptions of shared decision making will be assessed by comparing SDM-Q-9 and SDM-Q-Doc scores within each study arm. Concordance will be evaluated using an intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Bland-Altman plots will be used to visualize treatment group differences in concordance. ICC estimates and Bland-Altman plots will be reported. |
