What's being measured
Primary outcomes are the specific endpoints the trial is designed to prove or disprove.
-
Quality of life score (FACT-L Total Score)
Time frame: 12 weeks after treatment
The patients were asked to assess their Health-related Quality Of Life (HRQoL) using FACT-L (Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Lung) questionnaire. The score ranges from 0-136 with higher score indicating better HRQoL.
Sponsor's own description
Early palliative care has been shown to improve the survival of advanced lung cancer patients. However, most of the clinical studies were performed in the era when systemic treatment options for this disease were limited. Currently, many effective treatment options are available, including targeted therapy and immunotherapy. These novel agents improve the treatment outcomes while having less toxicity compared to conventional chemotherapy. Moreover, medical oncologists are now trained to provide palliative care for patients. This study was designed to demonstrate whether early palliative care provided by the palliative care specialist still improves the quality of life or survival of advanced lung cancer patients compared to standard care provided by the medical oncologist.
