  • A Digital Intervention to Improve Skin Self-Examination Among Melanoma Survivors. - NCT05373823

    Aim 1. To enhance MSS by collaborating with multi-level stakeholders. We will collaborate with stakeholders in enhancing MSS through qualitative interviews and usability testing of potential enhancements. Enhancements are based on empirically validated behavior change techniques (BCTs) and our prior study. We will utilize an iterative process that includes: (1) key informant interviews with survivors, providers, and professional organizations regarding proposed enhancements; (2) conversion to an enhanced mobile-based delivery platform; (3) usability testing, and; (4) iterative program refinements. Aim 2. To evaluate the effects of enhanced MSS on thorough SSE in an RCT and examine its impact on the diagnosis of new/recurrent melanomas (N= 300). We will conduct a RCT comparing MSS and a non-interactive educational webpage with 300 survivors to test its effects on SSE. We propose that MSS participants will be more likely to perform thorough SSE over the 18-month follow-up. We will explore the impact of MSS on new/recurrent melanomas. We propose that there will be more earlier stage melanomas diagnosed in MSS as compared with UC. Aim 3. To assess selected implementation outcomes and identify factors relevant to future scale-up for widespread dissemination and implementation. We will use mixed methods to assess implementation outcomes and explore perspectives from survivors, care providers, and professional organizations about how to best disseminate and implement MSS on a broad scale. The sub-aims are: 3a) To estimate program costs and assess cost-effectiveness of MSS relative to control. We hypothesize that MSS costs will be higher than UC. We expect that MSS will be a more cost-effective strategy, given its greater effectiveness to increase SSE and identify new or recurrent melanoma. If our findings support this as expected, exploratory cost-effectiveness analyses from the health care and societal perspectives will be conducted using simulation models of melanoma-related costs, disease progression, and survival over 5- and 10-year analysis horizons. 3b) To examine MSS reach, adoption, engagement, acceptability, appropriateness, feasibility, and maintenance. For reach, we predict that demographic variables will not differ from the general population of melanoma survivors. For adoption, we propose that the proportion of contacted/eligible survivors randomized to MSS who consent, complete the baseline, and log into MSS will be equal or greater than the efficacy trial. For engagement, we propose that 80% of MSS participants will log in. For acceptability, we predict MSS will be rated as highly acceptable. 3c) To identify and describe contextual factors from multilevel stakeholders as key to scale-up and widespread implementation of MSS, including consideration of potential delivery settings, timing of delivery, and needed resources to promote its implementation and sustainability.

    • Patients with clinical stage T1-4, N0-3 disease at presentation and residual invasive disease postoperatively as defined above are eligible. (Note: Patients with T1a/bN0 tumors are not eligible at initial breast cancer diagnosis are not eligible)
    • Patients with residual HR-negative, HER2 positive (+) disease in the breast and/or lymph nodes per the surgical pathology report are eligible; however, patients with HR+ HER2+ cancers must have node-positive residual disease per the surgical pathology report in order to qualify for the study. The presence of residual invasive disease in the breast is not mandatory for these patients
    • Patients with weakly ER-positive (1-10%) breast cancer (based on the pretreatment core biopsy) are eligible even if they have node-negative disease per the surgical pathology report
    • The residual disease tissue (breast and/or lymph nodes) is not required to be HER2-positive, as eligibility for NCI-2020-03770 (A011801) is based on a positive HER2 status at the time of the initial breast cancer diagnosis * Note: The presence of micrometastases in lymph nodes after preoperative therapy counts as residual disease, whereas the presence of isolated tumor cells does not
    • Patients with synchronous bilateral invasive disease are eligible provided both lesions were confirmed to be HER2-positive, and at least one of the lesions meets the criteria outlined above. Multifocal disease is allowed, as long as the largest biopsied breast tumor was HER2-positive

    • Prior receipt of T-DM1 in the neoadjuvant setting is not allowed.
    • Prior treatment must have consisted of >= 6 cycles of chemotherapy and HER2-directed therapy, with a total duration of >= 12 weeks, including at least 9 weeks of preoperative taxane and trastuzumab with or without pertuzumab (or Food and Drug Administration [FDA]-approved biosimilars). Patients who have received at least 9 weeks of preoperative taxane, pertuzumab and margetuximab are also eligible if they received >= 6 cycles of systemic therapy prior to enrollment. Note: Patients who complete at least nine of a planned twelve doses of weekly paclitaxel, or three of a planned four doses of docetaxel, but discontinue prematurely due to toxicity are eligible. Patients receiving dose-dense chemotherapy regimens are also eligible. Prior use of nab-paclitaxel (Abraxane) instead of paclitaxel or docetaxel is permitted. Prior use of subcutaneous trastuzumab (Hylecta) and subcutaneous trastuzumab and pertuzumab (Phesgo) is also allowed.
    • Patients who received neoadjuvant systemic therapy which included experimental HER2-targeted therapy/therapies are potentially eligible, as long as the investigational agent was not a HER2-targeted antibody-drug conjugate (e.g. T-DM1, DS-8201a [trastuzumab deruxtecan]) or a HER2 targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) (e.g. tucatinib, lapatinib, neratinib).

Patients with margins positive for classic lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) are eligible without additional resection
    • Lymph node surgery ** The axilla needs to be evaluated with either sentinel node biopsy or axillary lymph node dissection. If patients have a sentinel lymph node biopsy and sentinel nodes are negative, no further axillary treatment is necessary. If patients have isolated tumor cells (ITCs) in the setting of residual breast disease, at least one of the following is required: axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) or planned nodal irradiation. If patients have micro- or macro-metastatic nodal disease, ALND and planned nodal irradiation are required. Of note, co-enrollment on Alliance A011202 is not allowed
