Objectives

Narrative objectives1

Our previous study (the MAPLE study) demonstrated that integrating geriatric assessment (GA) with structured communication support using a question prompt list (QPL) significantly facilitated discussion about aging-related concerns, leading to higher implementation of GA-guided management (GAM) recommendations and improved health outcomes among older adults with cancer. The MAPLE2 pilot study aims to evaluate the feasibility of a newly developed mobile application-based GA and QPL intervention among older adults with cancer aged 70 years or older who are initiating or changing systemic anticancer therapy.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

The proportion of participants in the intervention arm who complete the full intervention program at the first outpatient visit following the initial intervention

Key secondary outcomes

1. Health outcomes: incidence and severity of adverse events assessed by CTCAE and PRO-CTCAE within three months of randomization; proportion of participants who continued treatment as planned for three months; incidence of unscheduled hospital visits or unplanned hospital admissions within three months; functional status assessed by the OARS-IADL questionnaire at baseline and three months; quality of life (QOL) assessed by the EORTC QLQ-C30 at baseline and three months
2. Communication outcomes: communication satisfaction assessed by the CARE-10 at the first outpatient visit following the initial intervention and three months
3. Intermediate outcomes: the number of GAM recommendations implemented by their treating oncologists for participants in both arms within three months
4. Acceptability outcomes: consent rate, perceived usefulness and burden of the mobile application-based intervention program (from both physicians and patients) at the first outpatient visit following the initial intervention

Interventions/Control_1

The intervention will, in principle, be conducted by patients themselves using the mobile application, with investigators assisting them as needed.
1. GA: Patients will complete the GA on the mobile application during waiting time before consultation. Based on the GA results, predefined management recommendations for identified vulnerable domains will be automatically generated.
2. QPL: According to the GA results, a tailored QPL will be generated and displayed in the application. Patients will identify their aging-related concerns and express their preferences regarding treatment and care by responding to the questions.
3. Care Plan Sharing: A tailored care plan will be created within the application, based on GA results and selected QPL items. The generated care plan will be shared between patients and physicians at the first outpatient visit following the intervention.
