ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial, called CartDiag PROSTATE, is exploring a new way to help patients understand their diagnosis of advanced or metastatic prostate cancer. Currently, when a patient receives this news, it is often shared through spoken and written explanations. The researchers want to see if using animated videos that illustrate the patient's care journey can make this information clearer and easier to understand. They will compare how well patients grasp their diagnosis and treatment options before and after introducing these videos.

To be eligible for the trial, participants must be men aged 18 and older who have recently been diagnosed with advanced or metastatic prostate cancer and are about to start systemic therapy. They should also be able to use a smartphone or computer to watch the videos at home. Participants will be asked to provide feedback on how well they understand the information provided, using a specific questionnaire. The trial is not yet recruiting participants, but it aims to enhance communication and support for patients during a challenging time.
