Study Summary

This trial is testing a new way of treating older patients with advanced, incurable bladder cancer. The team will follow patients for six months to see if this new method is effective.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people over 60 with advanced, incurable cancer who are seeing an oncologist for the first time. They must be able to sign a consent form, follow study procedures for 6 months, and speak English. It's not open to those who've had systemic therapy for another advanced cancer or have conditions that could interfere with the study.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The ABC123 framework is being tested in this pilot study. It integrates geriatric, oncology, and palliative medicine into care planning by an advanced practice provider alongside a medical oncologist. The goal is to see if it's feasible and matches patient-clinician goals.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial tests a care planning framework rather than medication, traditional side effects like you'd expect from drugs aren't applicable here. However, there may be emotional or psychological impacts from discussing advanced cancer care plans.
