Lifestyles Implemented-Survivorship Care Plan In Lymphoma Survivors
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This is a prospective randomized open-label, multicenter, 2-arm study to assess the role of healthy LifeStyle implemented Survivorship Care Plan (LS-SCP) in modifying the Quality of Life (QoL) in a population of long-term lymphoma survivors (in remission for a minimum 3 years since the last treatment and a maximum of 10 years).

Detailed Description
All patients will be assessed by validated questionnaires [EORTC QLQ-C30 (Quality of Life Questionnaire), SF12 (12-item Short Form Survey), MEDI-LITE (Mediterranean Literature questionnaire), CFSS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Self assessment), FAS (Fatigue Assessment Scale), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HAD-S)] and clinical assessment performed at baseline, at 6 and 12 months from the randomization. Patients in the experimental arm will follow the planned intervention (Survivorship Care Plan (SCP), nutritional plan, physical activity) for 6 months. A bi-monthly automatic call to assess the compliance at the experimental arm (Lifestyles implemented-Survivorship Care Plan (LS-SCP)) will be performed. Patients in the control arm will not receive any Survivorship Care Plan (SCP) or intervention and will be followed-up according to the best clinical practice, with questionnaires self-administration at 6 and 12 months from randomization.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
No Intervention: Control Arm (C) Patients in the control arm will not receive any Survivorship Care Plan (SCP) or intervention and will be followed-up according to the best clinical practice, with questionnaires self-administration at 6 and 12 months from randomization. |
|
Experimental: Experimental Arm (E) Patients in the experimental arm will follow the planned intervention (Survivorship Care Plan (SCP), nutritional plan, physical activity indication) for 6 months. |
Behavioral: Lifestyles Implemented-Survivorship Care Plan (LS-SCP)
Patients in the experimental arm will follow the planned intervention (Survivorship Care Plan (SCP), nutritional plan, physical activity) for 6 months. A bi-monthly automatic call to assess the compliance at the experimental arm (LS-SCP, Lifestyles implemented-Survivorship Care Plan) will be performed.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Global quality of life [From study start up to 30 months]
The endpoint will be assessed by the European Organisation For Research And Treatment Of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30) that will be submitted to patients. The EORTC QLQ-C30 consists of 30 items including five functioning scales (physical functioning, social functioning, role functioning, emotional functioning and cognitive functioning), nine symptom scales (fatigue, pain, nausea-vomiting, dyspnoea, sleep disturbances, appetite loss, diarrhoea, constipation and financial difficulties), and a global health status or quality of life (QOL) scale. On the 100-point metric, high scores for functioning scales and the global health status, or QOL, scale indicate high HR (health-related) QOL, while high scores on the symptom scales indicate a high symptom burden.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Impact of health on an individual's everyday life [From study start up to 30 months]
The endpoint will be assessed by the 12-Item Short Form Survey (SF-12) which will be submitted to patients. Survey scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better physical and mental health functioning.
- Changes in psychosocial well-being [From study start up to 30 months]
The endpoint will be assessed by Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HAD-S) questionnaire which will be submitted to patients. The HAD-S questionnaire has seven items each for depression and anxiety subscales. Scoring for each item ranges from zero to three, with three denoting highest anxiety or depression level. A total subscale score of >8 points out of a possible 21 denotes considerable symptoms of anxiety or depression.
- Overall survival (OS) [From study start up to 30 months]
Overall survival, the percentage of patients alive of the cohort
- Frequencies of chronic fatigue (FAS); [From study start up to 30 months]
The number of times chronic fatigue is recorded in the cohort of patients
- Cognitive function [From study start up to 30 months]
The endpoint will be assessed by Cognitive Functioning Self-Assessment Scale (CFSS) questionnaire which will be submitted to patients. The Cognitive Functioning Self-Assessment Scale (CFSS) is a questionnaire designed for the self-reporting of cognitive functioning. Its 18 items cover cognitive domains such as attention, memory and spatial-temporal orientation. Each item describes an activity of daily life in which these domains are involved. Participants answer each item on a 5-point frequency scale, referring to the past 12 months. The tool provides an overall score, calculated as the mean of the scores on individual items, where higher values indicate a worse self-perception regarding cognitive functioning.
- Metabolic outcomes -BMI [From study start up to 30 months]
Body Mass Index (BMI) will be evaluated for every patient. Weight and height will be combined to report BMI in kg/m^2.
- Metabolic outcomes - diabetes [From study start up to 30 months]
Number of patients of the cohort with diabetes
- Frequency cardiovascular disease [From study start up to 30 months]
The number of times cardiovascular disease is observed in the cohort of patients
- Compliance to screening for secondary cancers and vaccination [From study start up to 30 months]
The number of times patients undergo screening and prevention for secondary cancers
- Frequency others comorbidity [From study start up to 30 months]
The number of times others comorbidities are observed in the cohort of patients
- Adherence to healthy lifestyles - healthy diet [From study start up to 30 months]
The endpoint will be assessed by MEDI-LITE (Mediterranean Literature) questionnaire that will be submitted to patients. Adherence to the Mediterranean diet assessed through the Medi-Lite score was found to be associated with abdominal obesity. The final score, obtained by summing these values, varies from 0 (low adherence) to 18 (high adherence).
- Adherence to healthy lifestyles - Physical Activity [From study start up to 30 months]
The endpoint will be assessed by IPAQ (International Physical Activity Questionnaire) that will be submitted to patients. This questionnaire measures the type and amount of physical activity the patient normally does. The questions refer to activity during the past 7 days at work, getting from place to place, and during leisure time. For the purpose of the questionnaire: one minute per week (MET) is what a patient consumes at rest. Therefore, 2 METS is twice what a patient spends at rest. To obtain a continuous variable score from the IPAQ (MET minutes per week), we will consider walking as 3.3 METS, moderate physical activity as 4 METS, and vigorous physical activity as 8 METS.
- Measure of hand grip muscle strength [From study start up to 30 months]
This end point will be measured through the use of the hand-grip dynamometer
- Frequencies of negative Life-Style factors [From study start up to 30 months]
Number of negative Life-Style factors associated with cardiotoxicity and metabolic syndrome.
- Frequency of compliance between planned and effective follow-up via LS-SCP. [From study start up to 30 months]
Number of times the plan prescribed by the LS-SCP is adhered to correctly in the cohort of patients
