About this trial

The goal of this study is to test bundled familial cancer risk assessment + multicancer (colorectal + breast) vs. single (breast) cancer navigation, using a wait list control for colorectal cancer screening referral and navigation. Among those eligible, this study will test usual care referral to genetic services vs. pretest education + usual care referral. The study also will assess how bundled multicancer navigation works and for whom it is most effective through a multisite, mixed-methods patient- and organization-level process evaluation.

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Seeking screening navigation services through programs at a participating site (Georgetown Lombardi Cancer Center or Helen F. Graham Cancer Center & Research Institutes)

Eligible for breast cancer screening while also due and eligible for colorectal cancer screening (per USPSTF guidelines)

Female sex

Aged 45-74

Disqualifiers

Not engaged with or planning to use navigation programs at Georgetown Lombardi Cancer Center and Helen F. Graham Cancer Center & Research Institute

Not eligible for breast cancer screening or not due and eligible for colorectal cancer screening (per USPSTF guidelines)

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Breast cancer screening navigation

    Behavioral

    Single cancer navigation includes the following, oriented to breast cancer only: cancer education, barrier assessment and resolution, screening exam scheduling, text and mail reminders, documentation of appointment completion and results communicated to patient.

  • Multicancer screening navigation

    Behavioral

    Multi-cancer navigation includes the following, oriented to breast and colorectal cancers: cancer education, barrier assessment and resolution, screening exam scheduling, text and mail reminders, documentation of appointment completion and results communicated to patient.

  • Usual care genetics referral

    Behavioral

    Referral for genetics will be provided at the completion of the navigation call.

  • Pretest education + usual care genetics referral

    Behavioral

    Print education regarding the genetic counseling and testing process and specific tips to support at-home testing. Referral for genetics will be provided at the completion of the navigation call.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Receipt of colorectal cancer screening

Colorectal cancer screening will be determined through electronic health records abstraction. Documentation of screening includes the test (FIT, colonoscopy), date, clinical indication, assessment or result (imaging, pathology) and recommendations and procedures as applicable, following to treatment initiation.

Time frame
6 months after navigation completion
2

Receipt of breast cancer screening

Breast cancer screening (mammography, tomosynthesis, MRI, breast ultrasound, breast biopsy) will be determined through electronic health records abstraction. Documentation of screening includes the test, date, clinical indication, assessment or result (imaging, pathology) and recommendations and procedures as applicable, following to treatment initiation.

Time frame
Six months after completion of navigation

Secondary outcomes

Other outcomes

1

Receipt of genetic testing

Receipt of genetic testing as well as posttest genetic counseling within 6 months of randomization; documentation of test, test result, date, will be drawn from electronic health records

Time frame
Six months after completion of navigation
2

Receipt of genetic counseling

Documented attendance/date of pretest genetic counseling appointment within 6 months of randomization

Time frame
Six months after completion of navigation
