Groups2
Neither group, or both, names a comparator, so the groups keep ClinicalTrials.gov's order.
| Group | Title | Description | With the outcome | Analysed | ClinicalTrials.gov code |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Group 1 | Telehealth Palliative Care: Patients | * Patient and caregiver will meet with the palliative care clinician in person within four weeks of enrollment.~* Subsequent visits with the palliative care clinician will be conducted with the patient and caregiver in their home or other location using video at least every four weeks.~* Patient and caregiver may be scheduled to meet with the palliative care clinician in the clinic if requested by the patient or a clinician.~(Note: Caregiver enrollment in the study and attendance at palliative care visits are voluntary, and the patient can participate without an enrolled caregiver.)~Telehealth Palliative Care: Teleconference meeting via video with the palliative care team. Palliative care is a medical specialty focused on lessening (or palliating) patients' symptoms and helping patients and their families cope with a serious illness. | 130 | 446 | OG000 |
| Group 2 | In-person Palliative Care: Patients | * Patient and caregiver will be scheduled for their first in-person palliative care visit within four weeks of enrollment and then at least every four weeks thereafter until the patient is no longer coming into the clinic.~* In-person palliative care visits will be scheduled on the same day as an oncology visit if possible.~(Note: Caregiver enrollment in the study and attendance at palliative care visits are voluntary, and the patient can participate without an enrolled caregiver.)~In-person Palliative Care: In-person meeting with the palliative care team in clinic. Palliative care is a medical specialty focused on lessening (or palliating) patients' symptoms and helping patients and their families cope with a serious illness. | 115 | 442 | OG001 |

Outcome
- Type
- SECONDARY
- Title
- Patient-reported Communication About Their End-of-Life Care Preferences With Their Clinicians
- Description
Compare the difference between study groups in the proportion of patients who reported that they discussed their end-of-life care preferences with their clinicians based on a single item from the Prognosis and Treatment Perceptions Questionnaire (PTPQ). The PTPQ includes a self-report item that assesses whether the patient communicated with their clinicians about their wishes for care if they were dying (i.e., scored dichotomously as yes vs. no).
- Time frame
- 48 weeks (or last assessment prior to death if before 48 weeks)
- Population
- The analysis population represents the numbers of patients in each study group who completed the Prognosis and Treatment Perceptions Questionnaire at least once post baseline up to 48 weeks.
