Gene PilotLX for Latinx Cancer Patients

This study is testing a new online tool called Gene PilotLX. This tool is designed to help Latinx cancer patients make informed decisions about genetic testing for hereditary cancer risks. Researchers want to see if Gene PilotLX helps patients understand their options better and communicate their preferences to their doctors. You might be able to join if you are 18 to 80 years old, identify as Latinx, have a solid tumor cancer, and can speak and read English or Spanish. The study will measure how well patients feel prepared to make decisions and how much conflict they have about those decisions. It will also look at how well patients communicate their preferences to their doctors. The study is currently recruiting 232 participants.

Study design
This is a randomized controlled trial with 232 planned participants. It is designed to evaluate the effectiveness of the Gene PilotLX tool.
What's involved
Not specified in the trial record.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Participants will have follow-up measurements at a post-test (which can be on the same day as baseline) and again at 1-3 months.

  • Preparation for Decision Making (PrepDM) ScalePost-test (can occur on same day as baseline, day 1) and 1-3 month follow-up

    PrepDM Scale measures preparedness of patient to make a decision (10 items) regarding a hereditary risk from tumor genomic profiling (TGP) on a 1 "not at all" to 5 "a great deal" scale. Higher means indicated higher perceived level of preparation for decision making.

  • Decisional Conflict: Ottawa Decision Support Framework (ODSF) scalePost-test (can occur on same day as baseline, day 1) and 1-3 month follow-up

    16- item measure to determine patient clarity on the risks and benefits of tumor genomic profiling (TGP) testing and hereditary risk information from TGP. Items are given a score value of: 0= 'strongly agree'; 2= 'neither agree nor disagree'; 3= 'disagree'; 4= 'strongly disagree' TOTAL SCORE 16 items are: a) summed; b) divided by 16; and c) multiplied by 25. Scores range from 0 \[no decisional conflict\] to 100 \[extremely high decisional conflict\]

  • Communication of preferences to doctor related to pursuing hereditary cancer risk information from TGP1-3 month follow up

    This is a single dichotomous item created for the study: 'Have you talked with a doctor about secondary hereditary results from TGP testing'?('Yes', 'No'). If 'Yes' is selected, 7 different topics for discussion with doctor are listed, including 'other' as open question.
