OMCAT: One Million Cancer Treatment Months
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The OMCAT Register aims to provide learning databases in cancer comprising both PRO data using PRO-React and "ground truth" (outcome data verified by the physician during patient examinations). Intelligent learning and knowledge engineering procedures will utilize this PRO data to provide high-quality event prediction algorithms. The ground-truth data enables so-called "supervised learning" techniques of artificial intelligence, because predicted events can be verified with a high level of certainty from ground-truth data.

Detailed Description
The next generation of PRO-React by CANKADO is designed to predict impending incident threats at an earlier stage than previously feasible and -- by more timely intervention -- help physicians to eliminate or mitigate the severity of an unfavourable event, reduce the required intensity of countermeasures, or otherwise reduce patient risks.
A highly reliable identification of situations classified as "low-risk" by CANKADO could also enable a more focused utilization of resources as well as enhanced patient comfort and decreased stress, e.g., due to less frequent monitoring visits or reduced need for invasive diagnostics.

The ground-truth data enables so-called "supervised learning" techniques of artificial intelligence, because predicted events can be verified with a high level of certainty from ground-truth data.
The PRO data of a patient provide what is known in engineering, physics, and statistics as "time series" of observations. The unique feature of PRO time series for applications in cancer is the very high "sampling frequency" (e.g., daily or better) compared to examinations, which generally occur at fixed, and much less frequent intervals. Prediction algorithms based on PRO data would thus be ideally suited to reduce the delay in detecting events, for example, by triggering physician appointments or indicating the need for more intensive medical diagnostics.

Assessed using a question set aligned with the PRO-CTCAE and CTCAE (answered by patients)
- Presence or Absence of SAEs [6 months]
yes/no (answered by physician)
- Presence or Absence of dosis reductions [6 months]
yes/no (answered by physician)
- Presence or Absence of treatment interruptions [6 months]
yes/no (answered by physician)
- Presence or Absence of disease progression [6 months]
yes/no (answered by physician)
- Presence or Absence of disease regression [6 months]
yes/no (answered by physician)
- Presence or Absence of death [6 months]
yes/no (answered by physician)
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Cancer type [6 months]
according to ICD classification
- Patient Typology [6 months]
According to Bloem et al (PMID: 32771005)
- Timepoints of patient documentation [6 months]
The timepoints at which a patient uses the CANKADO System to document patient-reported outcomes are retrieved from the system including date and time
- Frequency of patient documentation [6 months]
The frequency at which a patient uses the CANKADO System to document patient-reported outcomes are calculated using the timepoints of patient documentation
