GOG-0259, NCT00958698

Objectives

Primary

  1. Compare the efficacy of nurse-delivered WRITE Symptoms© and self-directed WRITE Symptoms© vs usual care interventions in improving target symptom representations (i.e., decreases in symptom severity, symptom-related distress, and symptom consequences as measured by the Symptom Representation Questionnaire [SRQ]) in patients with recurrent or persistent ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer.

Secondary

  1. Compare the efficacy of nurse-delivered WRITE Symptoms© vs self-directed WRITE Symptoms© vs usual care interventions in improving target symptom representations in these patients at 4 weeks.
  2. Compare the efficacy of nurse-delivered WRITE Symptoms© vs self-directed WRITE Symptoms© vs usual care interventions in improving target symptom controllability in these patients at 4, 8, and 12 weeks.
  3. Compare the efficacy of nurse-delivered WRITE Symptoms© vs self-directed WRITE Symptoms© vs usual care interventions in improving indicators of quality of life (QOL) of these patients as measured by the FACT-O and the CES-Depression inventory short form at 4, 8, and 12 weeks.
  4. Compare the efficacy of nurse-delivered WRITE Symptoms© vs self-directed WRITE Symptoms© vs usual care interventions in improving communication with health care providers about symptoms, implementation of new symptom management strategies (health care provider recommended as well as patient-initiated changes), and perceived effectiveness of strategies (health care provider recommended as well as patient-initiated changes) in these patients at 4, 8, and 12 weeks.
  5. Compare the efficacy of nurse-delivered WRITE Symptoms© vs self-directed WRITE Symptoms© vs usual care interventions in improving patient-related barriers to symptom management as measured by the Symptom Management Barriers Questionnaire at 4, 8, and 12 weeks.

Exploratory

  1. Compare trajectories of change for overall symptom severity in patients undergoing nurse-delivered WRITE Symptoms© vs self-directed WRITE Symptoms© vs usual care interventions using monthly assessments to explore potential long-term effects of the WRITE Symptoms© interventions.
  2. Compare trajectories of change for QOL of patients undergoing nurse-delivered WRITE Symptoms© vs self-directed WRITE Symptoms© vs usual care interventions using monthly assessments to explore potential long-term effects of the WRITE Symptoms© interventions.
  3. Compare trajectories of change for symptom severity, distress, communication, and implementation of new strategies for non-targeted symptoms in patients undergoing nurse-delivered WRITE Symptoms© vs self-directed WRITE Symptoms© vs usual care interventions using monthly assessments to explore whether patients are able to generalize the symptom management approaches taught in WRITE Symptoms© interventions to their other non-targeted symptoms.
  4. Explore whether changes in symptom representations mediate changes in QOL of these patients at 8 and 12 weeks.
  5. Explore whether effects of the WRITE Symptoms© interventions on primary and secondary endpoints at 8 and 12 weeks differ based on the following patient characteristics assessed at baseline: age, education, and ethnicity; depression as measured by the CES-D short form; trait anxiety as measured by the STAI; optimism as measured by the LOT-R; social support as measured by the ISEL; and symptom severity as measured by the SRQ.

Barriers to symptom management as measured by the Symptom Management Barriers Questionnaire at baseline and at 4, 8, and 12 weeks
Communication with health care providers as measured at baseline and at 4, 8, and 12 weeks
Change, use, and effectiveness of symptom management strategies as measured at baseline and at 4, 8, and 12 weeks
Mini-assessment of non-target symptoms as measured at baseline, at 4, 8, and 12 weeks, and then every 4 weeks for 1 year

Outline

This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to race/ethnicity (non-Hispanic white vs Hispanic or non-white). Patients are randomized to 1 of 3 intervention arms.

  • Arm I (nurse-delivered intervention): Patients are given password-protected access to their own web-based message board to communicate with a research nurse. The nurse leads the patient through the WRITE Symptoms© intervention module comprising representational assessment; exploring concerns/misconceptions/gaps/confusions; creating conditions for conceptual change; introducing new information, goal setting, and development of a symptom management plan; and summary via asynchronous postings to the patient's message board. Patients work through 3 selected symptoms using the nurse-delivered WRITE Symptoms© intervention module over approximately 4 weeks. Two weeks later, the patient's symptom management strategy and their desire to make further changes are evaluated by additional interaction with the nurse via the message board. The nurse will encourage the patient to try new selected strategies, continue with effective strategies, and work with local health care providers in an ongoing process to improve symptom management. Patients are given access to a resource guide that includes self-care guides for 26 symptoms. They are encouraged to use the same process taught for their 3 selected symptoms for any other symptoms that arise after the course of the intervention.

  • Arm II (self-directed intervention): Patients are given password-protected access to an interactive web-based computer program that will lead them through a modified WRITE Symptoms© intervention module (comprising the same elements as in arm I) without guidance and individualized recommendations from a nurse. Patients work through 3 selected symptoms using the WRITE Symptoms© intervention module over approximately 4 weeks. Two weeks later, patients are prompted by the computer program to respond to questions about their symptom management strategy and their desire to make further changes. The program will generate an encouragement for the patient to try new selected strategies, continue with effective strategies, and continue the new approach to symptom management with local health care providers in an ongoing process to improve symptom management. Patients are given access to a resource guide that includes self-care guides for 26 symptoms. They are encouraged to use the same process taught for their 3 selected symptoms for any other symptoms that arise after the course of the intervention.

  • Arm III (usual care): Patients are given password-protected access to online questionnaires. Patients are prompted monthly to complete online questionnaires. Patients receive standard symptom management from their local health care providers.

In all arms, patients complete online questionnaires to assess outcome measures at baseline, at 4, 8, and 12 weeks, and then every 4 weeks for 1 year.

Note: The purpose of most clinical trials listed in this database is to test new cancer treatments, or new methods of diagnosing, screening, or preventing cancer. Because all potentially harmful side effects are not known before a trial is conducted, dose and schedule modifications may be required for participants if they develop side effects from the treatment or test. The therapy or test described in this clinical trial is intended for use by clinical oncologists in carefully structured settings, and may not prove to be more effective than standard treatment. A responsible investigator associated with this clinical trial should be consulted before using this protocol.
