An Education and Navigation Support Tool to Improve Participation in Care Coordination Among Patients With Locally Advanced, Metastatic and Unresectable Bladder Cancer and Their Caregivers

A Comprehensive Education and Navigational Support Program for Advanced Bladder Cancer

Sponsor

Roswell Park Cancer Institute

Enrollment

160 participants

Start Date

Jan 12, 2024

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Metastatic Bladder Carcinoma Stage IV Bladder Cancer AJCC v8 Locally Advanced Bladder Carcinoma Stage III Bladder Cancer AJCC v8 Unresectable Bladder Carcinoma

Summary

This clinical trial evaluates the impact of an education and navigation support tool (ENST) on patient and caregiver participation in care coordination for bladder cancer that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced), to other places in the body (metastatic) or that cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable). Patients with advanced bladder cancer tend to be older, have multiple medical conditions and often have poor access to health care. An ENST may be an effective method to improve participation in treatment decision-making and care planning among patients with locally advanced, metastatic and unresectable bladder cancer and their caregivers.

Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study tests an educational and navigation support tool (likely a digital app or guided program) designed to help patients with advanced bladder cancer and their caregivers better understand and participate in their care coordination and treatment planning. **You may be eligible if (as a patient)...** - You are 18 or older with advanced, metastatic, or unresectable bladder cancer - You are receiving or about to start systemic therapy at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center - You speak, read, and understand English **You may be eligible if (as a caregiver)...** - You are 18 or older and the caregiver of an enrolled patient - You speak, read, and understand English **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You are not receiving bladder cancer care at Roswell Park - You do not speak or read English - More than 8 weeks have passed since starting first-line therapy for advanced disease Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
