Lung Non-Small Cell Carcinoma Clinical Trial in Columbus, OH

About This Lung Non-Small Cell Carcinoma Study in Columbus

This clinical trial tests how well a geriatric assessment (GA) with GA-directed treatment recommendations, compared to GA with usual care, works in identifying risk factors, reducing chemotherapy radiation toxicity and functional decline, and improving the overall quality of life in older patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Older patients with lung cancer undergoing chemotherapy are at an increased risk of adverse outcomes including treatment toxicity and functional and physical consequences. This makes it very challenging for the physicians to balance the benefits against the risk of chemotherapy in older cancer patients. A geriatric assessment may be useful in identifying risk factors for chemotherapy radiation toxicity. Communicating these geriatric assessment findings and assessment-based recommendations to a patient's treating physicians may help them make more informed decisions about treatment options for patients. Making treatment decisions using GA-based recommendations may reduce adverse events and improve outcomes in patients receiving treatment for NSCLC.

Who Can Participate

Inclusion Criteria

ONCOLOGY PHYSICIANS INCLUSION:

Oncology physicians must work at the participating site with no plans to leave that site or retire at the time of enrollment into the study

PATIENTS INCLUSION:

Any patient with unresectable non-small cell lung cancer diagnosis who is 60 years of age or older and must be treated at the participating site

Clinical staging without pathological confirmation of nodal disease is allowed

Plan to start a new cancer treatment regimen within 4-6 weeks from time of baseline study visit. The treatment regimen is up to the discretion of the treating oncology physician. The regimen must include a chemotherapy drug or other agents that have similar prevalence of toxicity. This can be either concurrent or sequential with radiation therapy

Chemotherapy will be defined as cytotoxic drugs; in addition, agents (e.g., monoclonal antibodies and targeted agents) will be allowed. Given the rapidly changing landscape of new drugs for cancer, the study team led by the principal investigator (PI) will update the list accordingly after reviewing the toxicity profile of new therapies

Patients who are receiving approved cancer treatment in combination or sequentially with radiation including hypo fractionated radiation (45-60Gy in 15-20 fractions) are eligible

Those patients with oligometastatic disease having only one site and one lesion outside of the radiation field will be eligible. Examples include a solitary brain metastasis (met), contralateral lung nodule or an adrenal metastatic site

A patient may also be enrolled on a treatment trial and participate in this study, if all other inclusion and

Exclusion Criteria

Able to provide informed consent, or if the oncology physician determines the patient to not have decision-making capacity, a patient-designated health care proxy (or authorized representative per institutional policies) must sign consent by the baseline visit

Participant or healthcare proxy has adequate understanding of the English language (preferred) because not all GA measures have been validated in other languages. Study team should be contacted for any participants with other preferred languages including Spanish and Mandarin. Inclusion of these participants will depend upon the availability of the translators and their ability to accurately translate the measures as approved by the local Institutional Review Board (IRB) Exclusion Criteria:

PATIENTS EXCLUSION:

Have surgery planned within 3 months of approach date. Patients who have previously received surgery are eligible

Presence of symptomatic brain metastases (if more than one) at time of study consent process. Patients with history of treated brain metastases or small indeterminate lesions (\< 1cm) are eligible if they are not symptomatic at the time of study enrollment

More than one metastatic site: Examples: brain and adrenal, adrenal and liver
