SCOPE-C Trial Summary

This trial compares the effectiveness of technology-enhanced collaborative care management to usual collaborative care management in reducing depression symptoms in patients with cancer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with clinically significant depression (PHQ-9 score >=10) who are undergoing active cancer treatment and can use a smartphone, tablet, or computer. It's not for those with advanced cancer limiting life expectancy to less than 9 months or individuals needing immediate specialty mental health care.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares technology-enhanced collaborative care management (t-CoCM) versus usual care in managing depression for cancer patients. t-CoCM integrates tech tools to help clinicians deliver behavioral treatments and monitor patient progress more effectively.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since the interventions involve non-medical treatments like interviews, focus groups, surveys, and media/technology usage rather than drugs or surgery, typical medical side effects are not expected; however, participants may experience discomfort from discussing personal issues.

SCOPE-C Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Arm I (t-CoCM)Experimental Treatment3 Interventions
Patients use the t-CoCM digital app platform and clinic care managers use the t-CoCM web-based registry platform to support delivery of collaborative care. Patient's complete surveys at baseline, 3, 6 and 9 months. Some patients also participate in an interview or focus group about their user experience with the t-CoCM digital platform. Care managers also participate in interviews regarding their experience with CoCM and the newly developed web-based platform.
Group II: Arm II (u-CoCM)Active Control2 Interventions
Patients receive usual care and clinic care managers deliver usual CoCM. Patients complete surveys at baseline, 3, 6 and 9 months.
