Brief Summary:
This trial studies the use of movement and fitness trackers in determining performance status of patients with cancer who are taking part in early phase clinical. Movement and fitness trackers record movement and a number of different metrics such as steps, heart rate, and calories burned. The use of movement and fitness trackers can provide a more objective and precise estimate of patient performance status and help identify those most at risk for adverse events and hospitalization.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Malignant Neoplasm Device: Activity Monitor Other: Media Intervention Not Applicable

Detailed Description:

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine if in-office movement trackers identify those patients who are at highest risk for serious adverse events (SAEs) on early and developmental therapeutics (EDT) cancer trials.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

Secondary objectives are related to outpatient activity trackers. I. To determine the association between the occurrence of SAEs and early trial termination, with baseline measurement of activity classification using outpatient activity trackers in the 7 days after screening visit.

II. To determine the association between the occurrence of SAEs and early trial termination, with the change in activity level classification between the week after screening visit and the week after the start of EDT.

III. To determine the association between the occurrence of SAEs and early trial termination, with averaged activity level classification in the first 4 weeks of the EDT.

OUTLINE:

Patients participant in movement assessment during 2 clinical trial visits. Patients also wear a Fitbit to track movements and complete a smartphone based Patient Reported Outcomes (PRO) diary over 5-10 minutes to measure physical function, fatigue, sleep disturbance, social isolation, appetite, and body weight for up to 180 days.

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

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Incidence of non-hematologic serious adverse events (SAEs) [ Time Frame: Up to 60 days ]
    SAEs are the grade 3 or 4 non-hematologic toxicities based on CTCAE 4.0 and documented in each therapeutic clinical trials that participants were treated on. Logistic regression will be used to test the association of average measurements of Get-up and Go, and Kinect assessments collected from screening visit day (visit 1) and the first day of Early and Developmental Therapeutics (EDT) trial (visit 2) with the occurrence of SAEs after EDT given, especially during the first 60 days on EDT trial.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. The number of serious adverse events [ Time Frame: Up to 60 days ]
    Will use logistic regression and correlation tests to test the association of outpatient movement ability classified based on metabolic equivalents (METS) collected from the first 7 days after visit 1 (baseline measurement) with the occurrence of SAEs after EDT given, and early trial determination; the correlation of activity hours and METS in the first 7 days after Visit 1 with number of SAEs observed will be tested.

  2. The probability of early trial discontinuation as determined by withdrawal from therapy [ Time Frame: Up to 30 days ]
    Early termination is defined as cancer treatment discontinued within the first 30 days of EDT trial.

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • A diagnosis of cancer.
  • Undergoing screening for a University of Southern California (USC)/Norris therapeutic clinical trial operated by the Early and Developmental Therapeutics Program which includes both phase I and II clinical trials.
  • Owns a smartphone.
  • Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent.
  • Willingness to wear sensors to track physical activity, Global Positioning System (GPS) location, and provide symptom ratings each night during the screening period of their clinical trial and 180 days after starting treatments.
  • Able to read English, Spanish, or traditional Chinese to complete patient reported outcomes.
  • Able to ambulate without an assistive device.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Missing lower limbs.
  • Symptomatic brain metastases are excluded from this clinical trial. However, those with asymptomatic brain metastasis are permitted. It is permissible to have the patient on corticosteroids to eliminate symptoms of brain metastasis.
  • Known movement disorder such as Parkinson?s disease, choreoathetoid movement disorders, essential tremor if that movement disorder is of sufficient severity to require drug therapy.
