Study Summary

This trial is testing a program to assess and manage cardiovascular risk factors in prostate cancer patients starting hormone therapy. The goal is to create a standardized method for all patients at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with prostate cancer who are beginning androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). It aims to help manage cardiovascular risks that may arise from their cancer treatment. Participants should be starting ADT soon or have started it recently.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing a 'CV Care Program' designed to assess and manage heart health risks in patients undergoing ADT for prostate cancer. The goal is to see if this program can become a standard part of patient care at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since the intervention involves assessment and management rather than medication, direct side effects are not expected as typically seen with drug trials. However, any changes made to manage CV risk could potentially have their own effects.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: CV Care Program 2Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Study procedures will be conducted as follows: Standard of care androgen deprivation therapy. 4 week standard-of-care follow up visit in clinic with CV care education module completion. 12-week standard-of-care prostate cancer care visit with oncologist. 24-week standard-of-care post-ADT visit in clinic with CV Care module completion, surveys, and exit interview with clinical team members. Participant feedback from surveys, exit-interviews, and possibly focus groups will be collected.
Group II: CV Care ProgramExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Study procedures will be conducted as follows: Standard of care androgen deprivation therapy. 4 week standard-of-care follow up visit in clinic with CV care education module completion. 12-week standard-of-care prostate cancer care visit with oncologist. 24-week standard-of-care post-ADT visit in clinic with CV Care module completion, surveys, and exit interview with clinical team members. The CV Care program will be revised through participant feedback from assessments, surveys, focus groups, and exit-interviews. The revised CV Care Program will be used in the next cohort.
