Study Summary

This trial will test a tool to make genetic testing for prostate cancer more fair and accessible for Black men with advanced prostate cancer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is specifically for Black or African-American men who have metastatic prostate cancer. It aims to improve the process of counseling before genetic testing related to their cancer.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is evaluating a new counseling tool designed for pre-tumor genomic testing in these patients. Participants will be asked to complete questionnaires as part of the assessment.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves questionnaires and a counseling tool, there are no direct medical side effects associated with typical drug interventions.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Stage 1: Tool Implementation (Pilot Study)Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants will receive the tumor genetic pre-test counseling tool informed by results and themes identified in Stage 1. Participants will receive the non-therapeutic intervention, a pre-TGT counseling tool, and complete pre- and post-intervention surveys and a attend a brief post-intervention interview.
Group II: Stage 1: Tool DevelopmentExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants will participate in a semi-structured qualitative interview either by phone, video conference or in-person. A trained interviewer will interview eligible, consenting participants using a semi-structured interview guide to meet objectives. The interview guide is based on The Patient Education Materials Assessment Tool (PEMAT) and the COM-B (capability (C), opportunity (O), and motivation (M))/Behaviour Change Wheel (BCW) framework and will be used to determine an implementation strategy. The interview will be audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed.
