Brief Summary:
This study to find out more about how patients take their anticancer medications and challenges related to taking cancer medications.

Condition or disease
Chronic Myeloid Leukemia

Detailed Description:
120 patients with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) who are currently prescribed an oral anti-cancer agent from up to 6 CCDR NCORP sites to complete a brief interviewer administered survey to assess medication adherence and related factors.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Groups and Cohorts Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Patient Demographic and Health Behaviors Questionnaire [ Time Frame: Study 1 day Visit ]
    Questions will be asked about the participants demographic background and health behaviors.

  2. Brief Medication Questionnaire (BMQ) [ Time Frame: Study 1 day Visit ]
    A self-report tool for screening adherence and barriers to adherence. The tool includes a 5-item Regimen Screen that asks patients how they took each medication in the past week, a 2-item Belief Screen that asks about drug effects and bothersome features, and a 2-item Recall Screen about potential difficulties remembering.

  3. Single Item Adherence Measure 1 [ Time Frame: Study 1 day Visit ]
    This is a single question. This measure was developed to serve as simple means of identifying sub-optimal adherence which could help identify at-risk patients for interventions.

  4. Single Item Adherence Measure 2 [ Time Frame: Study 1 day Visit ]
    This single item was developed to evaluate self-report adherence to medication and has demonstrated low patient burden and the ability to predict adherence-related clinical outcomes as good or better than other adherence measures.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. REALM-SF [ Time Frame: Study 1 day Visit ]
    The REALM-SF offers researchers a simplified, validated, and efficient instrument for assessing patient literacy in clinical setting. It can be used to investigate the relationship between literacy and specific health outcomes such as medication adherence and health care utilization.

  2. Medications Adherence Reasons Scale (MARS) [ Time Frame: Study 1 day Visit ]
    This questionnaire is designed to identify potential risk factors associated with medication-related non-adherence.

Layout table for eligibility information
Ages Eligible for Study:   18 Years and older   (Adult, Older Adult)
Sexes Eligible for Study:   All
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Sampling Method:   Non-Probability Sample
Study Population
Conducting brief structured interviews, to further understand potential patient characteristics and barriers associated with non-adherence of medication. With this knowledge of identified patient barriers, interventional strategies can be designed to improve CML care, monitoring and adherence.
Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patient is diagnosed with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML) and is receiving care for CML at a participating CCDR NCORP practice,
  • Patient had been prescribed one of the following oral anticancer agents for CML for ≥30 days (Imatinib, Nilotinib, Dasatinib, Bosutinib, Ponatinib). Prior use of any of these medications is allowed, as long as they have been on a stable regimen for at least 30 days prior to enrollment.
  • Patient is 18 years of age or older

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patient does not speak English or requires an interpreter for medical visits
  • Patient is cognitively impaired, as determined by the referring provider
