This is a randomized trial of patients with gastrointestinal (GI) cancers treated at University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) who are starting a new line of systemic therapy to evaluate the feasibility of electronic patient reported outcome (ePRO) platform.
Gastrointestinal Cancers
Gastrointestinal Cancer Metastatic
Electronic Patient Reported Outcomes platform
Health Related Quality of Life Surveys
Not Applicable
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate the feasibility of the ePRO platform by describing the proportion of participants who engage with the ePRO tool via virtual care chat at least once after enrollment. II. To investigate the potential differences in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) by comparing the change in overall score of EuroQol five-dimensional Questionnaire (EQ-5D) index. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate the degree of engagement with virtual care chat as defined by the proportion of chat modules completed. II. To measure the potential differences in health-related quality of life (HRQoL). III. To describe the symptom experience of participants in the intervention arm. IV. To evaluate the performance of clinical escalation rules and impact on clinic workflow and efficiency. V. To prospectively validate a risk model predicting emergency department (ED) visits and admissions due to cancer treatment side effects. EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES: I. To compare unplanned ED visits and hospitalizations between intervention arm and control arm. II. To compare referral patterns to Symptom Management Clinic. III. To compare concordance between participant self-reported and provider assigned Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status.}}

Experimental: ePRO Assessment Tool Participants will receive either a text message or an email inviting them to engage in the health chat. Participant assessments including HRQOL and user experience will be administered via the platform. Participants will also be able to participate in short, interactive patient education modules related to the infusion and side effect management. |
Other: Electronic Patient Reported Outcomes platform |
No Intervention: Standard of Care Participants in the standard of care arm will report symptoms via standard of care messaging through UCSF MyChart or telephone calls throughout the study period, and complete standard of care HRQoL surveys. |
