Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The goal of this clinical trial is to test de feasibility and effectiveness of and early psychosocial and symptoms attention in cancer patients participating in a Phase I Clinical Trial. The main question it aims to answer is the following: Is an early psychosocial and palliative care attention effective to reduce psychosocial and physical symptoms among participants included in a Phase I Clinical Trial? All participants will answer a questionnaire including the Spanish version of the ESAS (Carvajal, García y Centeno, 2013), the ENP-E (Mateo-Ortega, et al., 2019) and two adhoc sociofamiliar-oriented questions. The assessments will take place just before entering the Phase I Clinical Trial treatment (T0) and one-time per month for three consecutive months (T1-T3). Researchers will compare questionnaire responses of the early-attention group and the control group. The assessment responses from the early-attention group will be monthly discussed in a multidisciplinary committee (just after each assessment) and these will receive the attention according to their needs, either by the palliative professional, the clinical psychologist and/or the social worker. The control group will receive the TAU, by which they will be only followed by their medical professional of reference

- description
- Participants will be assessed using ESAS, ENP and adhoc sociofamiliar questions just before entering their Phase I Clinical Trial (T0). Responses of this assessment will be discussed in a multidisciplinary committee comprised of a palliative physician, a clinical psychologist, a social worker, an oncologist, an hematologist and the Phase 1 Unit referent nurse. According to the patient responses, the committee will decide which needs will be addressed and this will be cited to the corresponding professional (palliative, psychologist and/or social worker) within the following 15 days. The same cycle (assessment - committee - attention) will take place a month after the T0 (T1), and during the following 2 other months (T2 and T3).
