TOward a comPrehensive Supportive Care Intervention for Older Men With Metastatic Prostate Cancer
Metastatic Prostate CancerTOPCOP3 is a pilot factorial RCT of geriatric assessment and management, remote symptom monitoring, both interventions or neither, accompanied by an embedded process evaluation. This design is widely used to guide the evaluation of complex interventions and provides important data to aid design of larger RCTs. The trial itself falls within pilot trial goals including obtaining variance estimates for outcomes, assessment of recruitment potential, and understanding implementation issues vital to designing a larger trial. The investigators have clear feasibility objectives and an analytic plan as well as criteria to determine success and strong support from cancer advocacy and policy groups.
