1 The Impact of Early Palliative Care on the Quality of Life of Patients With Advanced Pancreas Cancer: A Case-crossover Study

The primary objective is to explore the impact of early palliative care on quality of life in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer. The secondary objectives are to explore the impact of early palliative care on symptom management, depression, anxiety and survival in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer.

NCT03837132 Advanced Cancer Behavioral: Palliative care assessment
MeSH:Pancreatic Neoplasms
HPO:Neoplasm of the pancreas

Primary Outcomes

Description: For the primary endpoint, we will use a generalized linear model to test for a statistically significant change score between baseline and 16 weeks. We will assume a normal distribution for the change scores. Model fit will be assessed via a visual assessment of residuals and the ratio of the model deviance to its degrees of freedom.

Measure: Impact of early palliative care on quality of life in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer

Time: registration to 16 weeks

Secondary Outcomes

Description: Secondary endpoints will include: (1) symptom control at 16 weeks as measured by the revised Edmonton Symptom Assessment Scale (ESAS-r) (a widely used and validated tool to assess symptom intensity, which is routinely completed by patients at all CCMB visits); (2) depression and anxiety at 16 weeks using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) (a 14 item scale which can be used in the outpatient setting to screen for anxiety and depression within the previous week) and the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) (a sensitive (88%) and specific (88%) 9 question tool which incorporates diagnostic criteria for major depression); and overall survival measured from date of registration to death

Measure: To explore the impact of early palliative care on symptom management, depression, anxiety and survival in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer

Time: registration to 16 weeks
