Overview
This study aims to test the Tools for Reducing Inequity in Acute Leukemia (TRIAL) web-based application that is designed to support participants with acute leukemia by providing information and resources about leukemia and clinical trial participation.
Detailed description
The goal of this single-arm pilot study is to test the TRIAL web application which is designed to reduce inequity in clinical trial enrollment among participants with acute leukemia. The application aims to facilitate access to clinical trials and reduce barriers for underrepresented groups.
The research study procedures include screening for eligibility and questionnaires.
Participation in this research study is expected to last about 14 weeks.
It is expected about 75 people will participate in this study.
The National Cancer Institute (NCI) and American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) are providing funding for this study.
Interventions
- Behavioral TRIAL Web-Based Application
A web-based application that provides disease and trial education and access to resources provided by the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS). iPads will be provided to participants for 14 days.
Primary outcome measures
- Post-Test Completion Rate [Time frame: Day 14 or date of discharge]
- System Usability Scale (SUS) Score [Time frame: Day 14 or date of discharge]
- Percentage of Participants Scoring ≥68 on SUS [Time frame: approximately 12 months (based on total accrual duration)]
Secondary outcome measures (8)
- Participant Screening Rate [Time frame: approximately 12 months (based on total accrual duration)]
- Participant Eligibility Rate [Time frame: approximately 12 months (based on total accrual duration)]
- Change in Seven-Item Knowledge Scale (SIKS) Score from Baseline to Post-Test [Time frame: Baseline and day 14 or date of discharge (post-test)]
- Change in Attitudes to Randomized Trials Questionnaire (ARTQ) Score from Baseline to Post-Test [Time frame: Baseline and day 14 or day of discharge (post-test)]
- Change in Trust in Medical Researchers Scale (TMRS) Score from Baseline to Post-Test [Time frame: Baseline and day 14 or day of discharge (post-test)]
- Ottawa Preparation for Decision Making Scale (Prep-DM) Score [Time frame: Day 14 or date of discharge]
- Acceptability of Intervention Measure (AIM) Score [Time frame: Day 14 or date of discharge]
- Participant Enrollment Agreement Rate [Time frame: approximately 12 months (based on total accrual duration)]
