About this trial
To compare the efficacy of the addition of a therapeutic education program combined with nursing phone follow-up, compared to conventional management alone, on the management of adverse events (AEs) related to adjuvant hormone therapy during the first year of treatment in patients with non-metastatic breast cancer.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Female patients aged 18 to 75 years inclusive
Patients with non-metastatic breast cancer for whom adjuvant hormone therapy (anti-oestrogen or anti-aromatase) is indicated, depending on the decision of the multidisciplinary consultation meeting.
Performance status (ECOG) ≤ 2
Patient able to read and understand French (common use)
Disqualifiers
Patient with metastatic cancer (stage IV)
Patient undergoing neoadjuvant hormone therapy
Patient who started hormone therapy prior to inclusion in the study
Patient with a history of other cancer treated by radiotherapy, chemotherapy or hormone therapy, with an end of treatment less than 2 years ago.
Trial design
Parallel
Treatments tested in this trial
Therapeutic Education and Nursing Support Program for Supportive Care
Other interventionIn addition to the conventional oncology follow-up, patients will participate in an initial educational assessment day within 15 days before or after their first dose of hormone therapy. A discussion between the patient and the pivot nurse will then make it possible to define personalized objectives, thus guiding the choice of workshops in the outpatient educational program.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
To compare the effectiveness of adding a therapeutic education program combined with nursing phone follow-up, compared to conventional management alone on the management of adverse events related to adjuvant hormone therapy.
The primary endpoint is the score of the 7 adverse events (AEs), graded on a Likert scale from 0 to 4 points from the NCI-CTCAE v5.0, which will be transformed into a single composite endpoint. The 7 AEs considered here will be the most frequent and troublesome of the hormone therapy, namely: muscle and/or joint pain, hot flashes, headache, fatigue, insomnia/sleep disturbance, weight gain, nausea. This collection will be done initially (T0) and then monthly by the patients.
Secondary outcomes
To compare the effectiveness of adding the program to conventional management alone in terms of quality of life for patients on hormone therapy at baseline (Day 0), Month 6 and Month 12.
The score of the validated Quality of Life of Cancer Patients (EORTC-QLQ-C30) self-questionnaire score, performed at Day 0, Month 6 and Month 12 after initiation of hormone therapy
To compare the effectiveness of adding the program to conventional management alone in terms of sleep quality at baseline (Day 0), Month 6 and Month 12.
the score of the validated Pittsburgh sleep quality self-questionnaire during the past month, performed at Day 0, Month 6 and Month 12 after initiation of hormone therapy
To compare the effectiveness of adding the program to conventional management alone in terms of drug use for the management of adverse events throughout the study.
The INN name,the daily dosage and duration (number of days) of medication taken between Day 0 and 12 months, will be assessed to compare between the experimental ans the control group in term of medication use
To compare the effectiveness of adding the program to conventional management alone in terms of therapeutic compliance at Month 6 and Month 12.
GIRERD's subjective compliance self-questionnaire score will be filled in at Month 6 and Month 12.
