ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial, titled "EORTC Quality of Life Measurement Strategies in Progressive Cancer," aims to improve how we understand and measure the quality of life for people diagnosed with cancer who are experiencing disease progression. Quality of life refers to how well patients are feeling and functioning during their treatment. Researchers want to learn from patients, their caregivers, and healthcare professionals about the best ways to assess this quality of life, including how often these assessments should happen and how to keep participants engaged in the study over time.

To participate in this study, adults over 18 years old must have a confirmed cancer diagnosis and be facing a worsening of their condition, with a prognosis of less than three years. Caregivers, like family members or close friends of these patients, can also take part. Participants will be interviewed twice to see if their feelings and preferences change as time goes on. This research is important because it will help improve how we gather information about patients' experiences, which can lead to better healthcare decisions and treatments. The trial is not yet recruiting participants, but it will be conducted across various locations in Europe.
