Description

Summary

This is a single-arm hybrid implementation trial of men with metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) involving a patient-administered mobile app for consultation audio recordings.

Official Title

Mhealth ElectroNic COnsultation REcording (MENCORE-2): an Implementation Trial to Improve Informed Treatment Decision-making in Men With Advanced Prostate Cancer

Details

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

  1. To evaluate change in participant informed decision-making after provision of a consultation audio recording application.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Reach. To evaluate the percentage of invited participants who enroll. Reasons for not enrolling will be assessed.
  2. Adoption. To evaluate the percentage of providers who agree to be recorded.
  3. Adoption. To evaluate the percentage of participants who create an audio recording.
  4. Adoption. To evaluate the percentage of participants who listen to the audio recording or read its automatically generated transcript.
  5. Implementation. To evaluate the percentage of participants who report receiving instructions on how to record.
  6. To evaluate participant-reported shared decision-making effort.
  7. To evaluate whether participant-reported anxiety changes after provision of a consultation audio recording app.
  8. To evaluate barriers, facilitators, and experiences of recording app use, particularly in the context of treatment decision-making by conducting participant interviews, provider surveys, and interviews with providers.
  9. Treatment received.

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To evaluate whether provision of a consultation audio recording app improves participant-reported knowledge retention of docetaxel.
  2. To evaluate accuracy of app auto-generated transcription.
  3. To evaluate degree of provider decision support and communication skills.

Participants are set up with an application prior to the first physician visit and then followed-up 7 days, 28 days and 60 days after their physician encounter.

    I am a physician-investigator. I care for patients with advanced cancer who are hospitalized and patients with genitourinary malignancies, such as prostate cancer. My research interests involve improving patient-centered outcomes for patients with cancer. This includes patient decision-making support, outcomes research, survivorship, cognition, and biomarkers.
