Decision-Making Support for Older Adults with Metastatic Breast Cancer
This study is looking at a new patient-centered decision-making support tool for older adults (age 65 and above) with metastatic breast cancer (cancer that has spread to other parts of the body). The tool helps patients and their care partners make choices about treatment. Researchers want to see if the tool is acceptable, appropriate, and practical to use. The study plans to enroll 150 participants. To join, you must have metastatic breast cancer, be 65 or older, be currently receiving or considering systemic treatment, and be able to speak and read English. The study's status is currently unclear.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study, meaning participants will receive a specific intervention (the decision-making support tool). It aims to enroll 150 participants.
- What's involved
- Participants will use the decision-making support tool. Researchers will measure how acceptable, appropriate, and feasible the tool is at 3 and 6 months after starting.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Participants will be followed for 6 months after starting the intervention.

What this trial measures
- Patient and care partner Acceptability of Intervention (AIM)Time Point 2: Occurs 3 months after Time Point 1 start (+/- 3 weeks) Time Point 3: Occurs 6 months after Time Point 1 start (+/- 3 weeks)
Measure different aspects of intervention implementation. The AIM, IAM, and FIM measures were jointly developed through a consensus process involving 63 experts (e.g., implementation scientists, health professionals), and psychometric properties for the three scales have been established. All three scales were developed to evaluate fit or match of a potential intervention (acceptability measure evaluates personal fit to the individual, appropriateness measure evaluates the societal or technical fit, and the feasibility measure evaluates practical fit. Each scale has 4-items with a 5-point Likert scale response (total score 4-20 for each measure), for a total of 12 items for all three scales. No specialized training is needed to administer or score the measure and it is written at a 5th grade reading level. Although cut-off scores for interpretation are not available, higher scores indicate greater degree of acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility respectively.
