Evaluating a new patient-reported outcome measure for glioma patients in China

Validity and Reliability Evaluation of the Patient-Reported Outcomes Version of the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (PRO-CTCAE) for Adult-type Diffuse Gliomas Patients in Chinese Population

Observational Huashan Hospital · NCT05486923

This study is testing a new way for glioma patients in China to report their symptoms during treatment to see if it accurately reflects their experiences.

What this trial studies

This study aims to assess the validity and reliability of the Patient-Reported Outcomes version of the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (PRO-CTCAE™) specifically for adult-type diffuse glioma patients in China. Initially, a consensus will be reached among experts to determine relevant symptom terms through a Delphi survey. Following this, a prospective, multi-center observational study will be conducted to evaluate the customized PRO-CTCAE™ in approximately 450 patients, focusing on their experiences during anti-tumor treatment. The study will utilize the Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) as a benchmark for patient assessment.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include adult patients aged 18 to 85 with a pathologically diagnosed adult diffuse glioma who are undergoing anti-tumor treatment.

Not a fit: Patients who have already received non-surgical treatment since their diagnosis may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance the understanding of patient-reported outcomes in glioma treatment, leading to improved patient care.

How similar studies have performed: While the use of PRO-CTCAE™ has been explored in other oncology settings, this specific application in glioma patients is novel and has not been previously tested.
