Tools for Reducing Inequity in Acute Leukemia (TRIAL): Beta Testing

NCT ID: NCT06907797Sponsor: Dana-Farber Cancer InstituteLast updated: 2026-05-20

Summary

This study aims to test the Tools for Reducing Inequity in Acute Leukemia (TRIAL) web-based application that is designed to support participants with acute leukemia by providing information and resources about leukemia and clinical trial participation.

Detailed description

The goal of this single-arm pilot study is to test the TRIAL web application which is designed to reduce inequity in clinical trial enrollment among participants with acute leukemia. The application aims to facilitate access to clinical trials and reduce barriers for underrepresented groups. The research study procedures include screening for eligibility and questionnaires. Participation in this research study is expected to last about 14 weeks. It is expected about 75 people will participate in this study. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) and American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) are providing funding for this study.

Arms & interventions

  • BehavioralTRIAL Web-Based Application

    A web-based application that provides disease and trial education and access to resources provided by the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS). iPads will be provided to participants for 14 days.

Outcome measures

Primary

  • Post-Test Completion Rate

    Defined as the proportion of completed post-tests compared to the overall total of 75. Retention feasibility is defined as ≥ 70% of post-test completions, or 53 completions.

    Time frame: Day 14 or date of discharge

  • System Usability Scale (SUS) Score

    Assessed by the System Usability Scale (SUS), a 10-item measure rated on a 5-point Likert scale from 1 "Strongly Disagree" to 5 "Strongly Agree" with a total scores range of 0 to 100. A higher score represents greater usability.

    Time frame: Day 14 or date of discharge

  • Percentage of Participants Scoring ≥68 on SUS

    Defined as the proportion of participants who score ≥68 on the SUS compared to the overall enrollment of 75 participants. Usability of the intervention is defined as \>70%, or 53 participants.

    Time frame: approximately 12 months (based on total accrual duration)

Secondary

  • Participant Screening Rate

    Time frame: approximately 12 months (based on total accrual duration)

  • Participant Eligibility Rate

    Time frame: approximately 12 months (based on total accrual duration)

  • Change in Seven-Item Knowledge Scale (SIKS) Score from Baseline to Post-Test

    Time frame: Baseline and day 14 or date of discharge (post-test)

  • Change in Attitudes to Randomized Trials Questionnaire (ARTQ) Score from Baseline to Post-Test

    Time frame: Baseline and day 14 or day of discharge (post-test)

  • Change in Trust in Medical Researchers Scale (TMRS) Score from Baseline to Post-Test

    Time frame: Baseline and day 14 or day of discharge (post-test)

  • Ottawa Preparation for Decision Making Scale (Prep-DM) Score

    Time frame: Day 14 or date of discharge

  • Acceptability of Intervention Measure (AIM) Score

    Time frame: Day 14 or date of discharge

  • Participant Enrollment Agreement Rate

    Time frame: approximately 12 months (based on total accrual duration)
