Study summary

In oncology a number of supportive care therapies are proposed to patients. This study will identify the different therapies and prioritize these therapies from the patients' perspectives. This study will provide a framework for optimizing supportive care strategies and identifying those therapies that need to be validated by clinical trials.

Read the detailed description

In oncology, supportive care should be used along with curative treatment or palliative care in order to improve patients' health-related quality of life, overall survival and to better support treatment side effects as well as the disease evolution. Unfortunately, they are not widely used in clinical practice.

A direct assessment of the needs perceived unmet by patients could allow to assess the magnitude of expectations to better target treatments as example. A prospective assessment of the expectations and needs of the patients is thus essential. This would also allow help to highlight the convergence between supportive care proposed and used and those expected by patients. The first step to understanding how to optimize the use of resources and to improve the quality of care is to identify patient's expectations. Moreover, it is now well recognized that patients should play a key role in the research and that their active participation in research can increase the relevance of the research.

In this context, the CyPRES project aims to:

  1. assess through national consensus the patients' expectations in terms of supportive care in order to help both clinicians and health care services;
  2. prioritize them and to arrange resources according to priority needs identified;
  3. identify supportive care for which no previous research (evidence-based medicine) has demonstrated their usefulness. A randomized clinical trial will thus be proposed;
  4. Involve patients in the written, conduct and analyses, as well as communications of the randomized clinical trial.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Oct 2018 to primary completion in Oct 2019, 12 months.

Of 1,098 non-industry observational studies under Neoplasms, half reached primary completion within 61 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 24 and three quarters within 227. This study's 12 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 1,246 studies reached it within 58 months; a quarter within 24 and three quarters within 210.

Neoplasms covers many different conditions, not one, so the studies compared here vary widely. Read these figures as a rough guide.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Nov 4, 2021, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
