About this trial

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether a novel decision support tool called PRIME (Preference Reporting to Improve Management and Experience), which combines values-elicitation with tailored feedback to patients and providers, improves patient-reported values-concordance of initial treatment decisions compared to usual care.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Difference in COLLABORATE scores between arms

The effectiveness of PRIME to improve the value-concordance of treatment decisions in older subjects presenting to hematologic malignancy clinics will be determined by differences in CollaboRATE scores (Percentage in each arm that report perfect scores 15/15) at the post-treatment decision assessment between control and intervention groups. COLLABORATE scores is a Likert scale questionnaire that includes 3 questions rated from 1 to 5. Higher scores represent better patient engagement.

Time frame
Up to 24 months

Secondary outcomes

1

Difference in COLLABORATE scores between arms in a subgroup of patients

The secondary outcome will be the difference in CollaboRATE scores (percentage in each arm that report perfect scores 15/15) at the post-treatment decision assessment between control and intervention groups in a subgroup of participants: participants with newly-diagnosed Acute myeloid leukemia, Acute Lymphoblastic leukemia, Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma, and Multiple myeloma COLLABORATE scores is a Likert scale questionnaire that includes 3 questions rated from 1 to 5. Higher scores represent better patient engagement.
