Multi-Site Trial of Navigation vs Treatment as Usual to Improve Initiation of Timely Adjuvant Therapy

Sponsor: Medical University of South Carolina

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effectiveness of a navigation-based multilevel intervention (ENDURE) with treatment as usual (TAU) to improve the initiation of guideline-adherent postoperative radiation therapy among patients with head and neck cancer. The main questions the trial aims to answer are: 1. Does ENDURE improve initiation of timely PORT relative to treatment as usual? 2. What are the mechanisms through which ENDURE improves timeliness to treatment? 3. What are the barriers and facilitators to the implementation of ENDURE into routine clinical care?

BEHAVIORAL

ENDURE

ENDURE provides patient education through the ENDURE Patient Resource Guide and social support by linking patients to community resources (patient-level), standardizes discussions about expectations for PORT and clinical documentation to enhance communication and care coordination within and across interprofessional cancer teams (team-level), and implements referral tracking across fragmented health systems (organization-level). To facilitate care coordination, ENDURE modifies existing standard of care patient navigation (an evidence-based intervention that addresses barriers to timely cancer care) by adding PORT-focused navigation at three key care transitions: into the cancer care system; from inpatient to outpatient after surgery; and from the surgical team to the radiation oncology team.
