Overview
Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) affects 820 people per year in France (2018), half of them are older than 60 years old. Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors (TKI) are new kind of targeted therapy whose efficiency allow for a high rate of complete molecular response, leading to a disruption of treatment under certain conditions. Optimizing CML treatment is a major concern, particularly for adverse events management, treatment compliance and therapeutic response. Multiple studies demonstrated that grade ≤ II adverse events are most likely to be under reported by patients and clinicians. Although these adverse events are mostly reported by clinical examination, needing minimal treatment. These toxicities could alter daily and domestic living activities, potentially impacting treatment compliance and therapeutic response. Therefore, early detection of these adverse events is a major challenge for the prognosis and care of CML. The Advanced Practice Nurse (APN), a new health care professional, acquired the skills needed to independently follow, manage and care the patients with medical approvals. At international level, many studies, in oncology and in others domains, have been done to demonstrate the added value of the APN, particularly in improving patient's quality of life, management, care of drug-induced adverse events and treatment compliance. In France, because of the recentness of the profession, only few studies were have been conducted. The goal of this study is to demonstrate the benefit of APN in clinical follow-up, quality of life, treatment compliance, and therapeutic response of CML patients. These effects could be managed thanks to early detection and management of ≤ grade II adverse events during consultation, in partnership with the patients, and in collaborative working.
Interventions
- Other APN and medical management
Patients are followed by the advanced practice nurse and the hematologist. - Other Medical management
Patients are followed by the hematologist only (standard of care). - Behavioral Quality of life assessment
EORTC-QLQ-C30 questionnaire - Behavioral Treatment compliance assessment
GIRERD questionnaire
Primary outcome measures
- Evaluate the role of the advanced practice nurse in early detection of grade I-II adverse events during care and management of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia compared to standard of care (hematologist only). [Time frame: Inclusion and 6 months]
Secondary outcome measures (8)
- Evaluate the role of the advanced practice nurse in early detection of grade I-II adverse events during care and management of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia compared to standard of care (hematologist only). [Time frame: 6 months and 12 months]
- Assessment of patient's quality of life [Time frame: Inclusion, 6 months and 12 months]
- Assessment of patient's compliance to treatment [Time frame: 6 months and 12 months]
- Grade > II adverse events rates [Time frame: 6 months and 12 months]
- Hospitalization rate [Time frame: 6 months and 12 months]
- Treatment discontinuation rate and/or treatment change rate [Time frame: Every medical consultation, from inclusion to 12 months]
- Consultation time comparison between advanced practice nurse and hematologist [Time frame: Every medical consultation, from inclusion to 12 months]
- Molecular response rate assessment [Time frame: 6 months and 12 months]
