Lymphoma Clinical Trial in Tuscaloosa, AL

About This Lymphoma Study in Tuscaloosa

This phase III trial compares the effect of geriatric evaluation and management with survivorship health education (GEM-S) to usual care on patient-reported physical function in older survivors of cancer. Survivorship care for older adults of cancer usually consists of getting advice from their doctor. This advice may include how to do their daily activities, so they are less tired or how to manage multiple diseases, or long-term side effects from treatment. GEM-S may help improve the physical ability to perform activities of daily living, mental well-being, and memory in older survivors of cancer after chemotherapy. This study may help doctors learn if including GEM-S in their practices improves physical, mental and memory functions in their patients. The study may also help to understand how such care affects cancer patients and their caregivers' quality of life.

If another clinician is interested in participating, please contact University of Rochester Cancer Center (URCC) National Cancer Institute Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP) Research Base (RB) for approval

Oncologists/APPs/other clinicians must be licensed to practice

Oncologists/APPs/other clinicians must not have a plan to leave or retire from the NCORP practice within one year of enrolling into the study

PRACTICE CRITERIA: Support/buy-in from oncology physicians and/or APPs and/or other clinicians who are willing to participate in training and study procedures and enroll cancer survivors

ENTRY CRITERIA FOR ONCOLOGY PHYSICIANS/APPS/OTHER CLINICIANS: Oncology physicians/APPs/other clinicians must work at a participating site with no plans to leave that practice or retire within one year of enrollment into the study. We do not require that any or all oncology physicians and/or APPs at a practice setting agree to participate. Only one clinician is required for the practice cluster to be eligible. If another clinician (other than oncology physician or APP) is interested in participating, please contact URCC NCORP RB for approval

CANCER SURVIVORS: 65 years or older

CANCER SURVIVORS: Have completed or will have completed curative-intent treatment (e.g., surgery, chemotherapy, chemotherapy with radiation) for any solid tumor or lymphoma malignancy in last 6 months. If the survivor is receiving curative-intent chemotherapy, run-in study procedures can occur during the last 6 weeks of chemotherapy.

Cancer survivors who will receive or are receiving other treatments (e.g., hormonal treatment, monoclonal antibodies, immunotherapy, radiation) are eligible

For patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy for curative intent, the run-in and baseline procedures can occur before or after surgery. Patients should be enrolled within 6 months from the end of surgery

CANCER SURVIVORS: Be willing and able to come in for study visits or willing to undergo informed consent and assessments remotely via tele-health visits

CANCER SURVIVORS: Be willing and able to provide informed consent and must sign consent in-person or remotely if it is not convenient or feasible to provide informed consent in-person

CANCER SURVIVORS: Speak and understand English and/or Spanish. Spanish-speaking cancer survivors are eligible as long as there are appropriate resources in place for completion of study procedures at the practice site. Registration for Spanish-speaking cancer survivors must be approved by the URCC NCORP Research Base after a phone call to determine the feasibility for the practice to enroll a Spanish-speaking participant

CAREGIVERS: 18 years or older

CAREGIVERS: Selected by the cancer survivor when asked if there is a "family member, partner, friend or caregiver (age 18 years or older) with whom you discuss or who can be helpful in health-related matters." A caregiver need not be someone who lives with the cancer survivor or provides direct hands-on care

CAREGIVERS: Speak and understand English and/or Spanish. Spanish-speaking caregivers are eligible as long as there are appropriate resources in place for completion of study procedures. Registration for Spanish-speaking caregivers must be approved by the URCC NCORP Research Base after a phone call to determine the feasibility for the practice to enroll a Spanish-speaking participant

Exclusion Criteria

CANCER SURVIVORS: Have a condition that precludes their ability to participate in informed consent or procedures (e.g., dementia)

CAREGIVERS: Caregivers unable to understand the informed consent form or study procedures due to cognitive, health, or sensory impairment will be excluded

Capacity to conduct informed consent procedures and study procedures will be determined by the coordinators in collaboration with the cancer survivors' oncologists. These procedures are similar to that of URCC 13070, which enrolled caregivers of older patients with advanced cancer
