A Pilot Trial of "Just ASK™" to Increase Discussions About Breast Cancer Clinical Trials

A Pilot Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial of "Just ASK™", an Intervention to Increase Discussions About Breast Cancer Clinical Trials


Sponsor

Enrollment

80 participants

Start Date

Feb 1, 2026

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The goal of this study is to conduct a pilot stepped-wedge cluster randomized controlled trial (RCT) of the "Just ASK™" training and implementation to increase provider discussions of cancer clinical trials (CCTs) with patients with breast cancer. The main research questions the study aims to answer are: * Is a cluster RCT feasibility and acceptable? (This will inform the design of a future definitive cluster RCT) * What are the determinants of the Just Ask training completion and implementation in practice to develop a better understanding for whom the intervention works, and under what circumstances? * What are the CCT discussion rates pre- and post-intervention? * What are discussion elements associated with breast cancer trial participation? The study will be a stepped-wedge cluster RCT in which four participating practices (5-10 clinic members per each cluster) will receive the Just ASK training at different, randomly assigned time points. Clinic team participants will complete the training and develop an implementation strategy of Just ASK at the cluster level. Within each cluster, we will audio-record 10 patient-provider encounters pre-training and 10 encounters post-training to assess discussions of cancer clinical trials with breast cancer patients.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is testing a training program called "Just ASK™" designed to help oncology teams have more conversations with breast cancer patients about joining clinical trials. Researchers want to see if this training increases the rate at which patients are told about and offered opportunities to participate in trials. **You may be eligible if (oncology team member)...** - You are a physician, nurse, nurse practitioner, or coordinator on an oncology team at the Abramson Cancer Center in Philadelphia - You routinely offer patients the chance to enroll in breast cancer trials - You have NOT previously completed the Just ASK™ training **You may be eligible if (patient)...** - You are 18 or older - You have been diagnosed with breast cancer and are receiving care at the Abramson Cancer Center **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You are a team member who has already completed Just ASK™ training - You are a patient under 18 Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
