Exploring Physical and Psychological Needs and Quality of Life in Patients With Advanced Cancer Receiving Immunotherapy
Sponsor: Taipei Veterans General Hospital, Taiwan
Summary
During the immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy (ICIT), most of the patients stay at home, but there is lacking of the studies to explore their physical and psychological distress, financial toxicity, care needs, and quality of life. Therefore, the aims of this program are to (1) explore the immune-related adverse event (irAE) severity, distress, financial toxicity, and quality of life and examine the psychometric testing of the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Immune Checkpoint Modulator (FACT-ICM); (2) establish the LINE group for assessing irAE severity and change trajectory of quality of life in one-year follow-up and (3) combined retrospective chart review and the finding in aim (2) to develop the risk prediction model in order to identify the high risk population.

Interventions
Line-based questionnaire follow-up
The participant will use LINE group to report irAE severity, distress, financial toxicity and change trajectory of quality of life in one-year follow-up. If the severity grade of irAE reach the threshold and require referral, an alarm will appear to notify the research team to conduct and transfer to a clinical specialitst, or refer to the emergency room for treatment. Additionally, the Line group will also provide clinical relevant immunotherapy health education information currently and routinely used in study site. Patients can view it according to their interests, but the APP will not actively promote it.
