About

This clinical trial tests how well a digital treatment platform using a mobile application works for the delivery of home-based sequential therapy in patients with glioma. Access to specialized neuro-oncology care in the United States for patients with glioma is critically deficient. Care at centers with neuro-oncology specialists is associated with improved survival outcomes, yet many patients have limited access due to distance, disease-related disability, or lack of financial resources. The application provides patients continuous access to their care team in the home setting. A digital treatment platform may increase clinical trial participation and accelerate development of novel therapeutics while addressing a great health disparity in patients with glioma.

Full description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. Determine the feasibility of the remote chemotherapy management and patient monitoring platform glioma home-based sequential therapy (GHoST) protocol among patients with glioma undergoing systemic therapy.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Evaluate compliance, adherence, and feasibility in terms of the adherence to systemic therapy monitored remotely.

II. Determine progression free survival (PFS) for each therapeutic evaluated for newly diagnosed or recurrent glioma, stratified by tumor type.

III. Determine objective response rate (ORR) for each therapeutic evaluated for newly diagnosed or recurrent glioma, stratified by tumor type.

IV. Assess the safety and tolerability of remote chemotherapy management and patient monitoring among patients with glioma undergoing systemic therapy.

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

I. Assess the acceptance or satisfaction of patients with the remote monitoring in this trial and how these may differ between newly diagnosed and recurrent glioma.

II. Investigate PFS based on therapeutic sequence administered. III. Explore potential differences in compliance, adherence, and satisfaction measures and how they may correspond to health disparities and social determinants of health.

IV. Compare access to neuro-oncology care at Mayo Clinic among patients with low socioeconomic status assessed based on the Mayo Clinic Housing-Based Socioeconomic Status (HOUSES) Index during the two years following study activation compared to historical utilization data.

V. Compare access to neuro-oncology care at Mayo Clinic among patients with increased distance from academic centers assessed by geospatial index during the two years following study activation compared to historical utilization data.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive access to the remote chemotherapy management and patient monitoring platform to watch educational videos, report when medication is taken or missed, and report any symptoms related to cancer or medication side effects on study. Patients also receive standard of care chemotherapy as assigned by their treating physician as part of the platform on study. Upon completion of standard of care chemotherapy, if there is no disease progression, patients transition to surveillance for up to 1 year. Patients who experience disease progression during treatment or surveillance may rejoin the platform and/or be assigned by their treating physician to a different chemotherapy agent as part of the platform. Patients also undergo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) throughout the study.

Upon completion of standard of care chemotherapy, if there is no disease progression, patients transition to surveillance for up to 1 year. Patients who experience disease progression during treatment or surveillance may rejoin the platform and/or be assigned by their treating physician to a different chemotherapy agent as part of the platform. Patients also undergo MRI or CT throughout the study.
