What the study is about
This phase III trial compares the use of a digital chatbot enabled intervention to standard remote genetic services for increasing uptake of genetic counseling and testing among adolescents and young adult (AYA) cancer patients. Genetic testing for cancer predisposition syndromes has become standard evidence-based practice and can inform enhanced screening and risk reducing measures to reduce cancer morbidity and mortality. Despite this, many AYAs are not receiving recommended genetic counseling and testing. Offering remote telehealth services can address access barriers and chatbots and texting interventions could enhance patient outcomes and reduce provider and staff time. The use of a digital chatbot enabled intervention may be equally as effective as standard remote genetic services in AYA cancer patients undergoing genetic testing.
Being studied: Telemedicine; Genetic Testing; Telemedicine; Internet-Based Intervention; Educational Intervention; Patient Navigation; Interview; Survey Administration
Conditions: Miscellaneous Neoplasm, Nos; Non-Neoplastic Condition, Nos
Eligibility criteria
Copied from the official record. The study team makes the final decision at screening.
Show full criteria
- PATIENTS: Age ≥ 18 years and ≤ 39 years at the time of enrollment
- PATIENTS: AYA cancer patients and survivors. This includes patients at any stage of diagnosis (e.g., newly diagnosed, in treatment, in survivorship) and a cancer diagnosis (including pediatric cancers) at any age ≤ 39 years old. Given targeted therapies for BRCA+ and microsatellite instability (MSI)-high/Lynch Syndrome patients and benefit to relatives, patients with metastatic cancer are included. Any history of cancer, regardless of being in treatment or not
- PATIENTS: Language: In order to complete the mandatory patient-completed measures and receive genetic education and counseling, participants must be able to speak and read English or Spanish
- PATIENTS: No known diagnosis of dementia or cognitive impairment. Persons with impaired decision-making capacity are ineligible as they need to be able to understand genetic test results, its implications for the patient and family, and explain genetic test results to their family members
- PATIENTS: No persons with a known psychiatric or documented developmental disorder that affects cognitive or emotional functions to the extent that the capacity for judgment and reason is significantly diminished, such that they cannot participate based on the judgment of the treating physician
- PATIENTS: Participants must meet National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines for genetic testing assessment provided by Penn Telegenetics by the Eligibility Verification Assessment (EVA) chatbot, or paper forms and genetic counselor's review
- NON-PATIENT PARTICIPANT: Non-patient participants eligible for this study include: oncology providers, members of the care team and clinic staff, genetic counselors, and insurers (i.e., people who work in financial services and/or for insurance companies) who participate in oncology care among AYA in community for this study
- NON-PATIENT PARTICIPANT: Age ≥ 18 years
- NON-PATIENT PARTICIPANT: Non-patient participants must be able to speak and read English or Spanish in order to participate in the key informant interviews
