Using an Interactive Voice Response Telephone System in the Assessment and Management of Symptoms in Advanced Lung Cancer Patients Receiving Chemotherapy
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Questionnaire, Interactive Voice Response Telephone System, and 1 other intervention for Lung Cancer. Completed, enrolled 84 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Primary Objectives: * To compare the effectiveness of an interactive voice response (IVR) telephone triage/feedback system versus an interactive voice response telephone system with assessment only in monitoring and managing symptoms in patients with advanced non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). * To compare differences in mood and quality of life variables of patients using the IVR triage/feedback system versus IVR assessment only. * To compare the healthcare utilization (emergency visits, admissions, length of stay for hospitalizations for uncontrolled symptoms) of patients using the IVR triage/feedback system versus IVR assessment only.

Timeline
Interventions
Questionnaires taking about 30-45 minutes to complete.
IVR Only = Phone calls twice weekly, each call lasting less than 5 minutes.
IVR system will "triage," or sort, the symptom data by symptom severity, notifying health care professionals when a symptom is greater than the set threshold limit.
