Popis: Background The implementation of quality of life (QoL) concepts in routine care, is still an open matter. We followed the Medical Research Council framework for complex interventions to implement a model of QoL diagnosis and therapeutic options, and investigated its effectiveness in patients with colorectal cancer. Methods This randomised, single-blind, multicentre, clinical trial enrolled patients diagnosed with primary colorectal cancer aged 18 years or older who were surgically treated in one of four recruiting hospitals in Germany. All patients received aftercare from one of 178 coordinating practitioners (CPs) who had access to 75 healthcare professionals providing tailored therapies. QoL was measured (EORTC QLQ-C30, QLQ-CR29) in all patients after surgery (baseline) and during aftercare (3, 6, 12, 18 months). Patients were randomised (1:1) into two groups: a care pathway, including QoL-profiles consisting of 13 QoL scales plus specific therapeutic recommendations forwarded to the patient’s CP or standard postoperative care adhering to the German national guideline for colorectal cancer (control). The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients in each group with a need for QoL therapy 12 months after surgery. Analyses were done in the intention-to-treat population. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov , number NCT02321813 and closed to accrual. Findings Between Jan 13, 2014, and Oct 28, 2015, 220 patients were enrolled and randomly assigned (n = 110 per group). At baseline (in hospital after surgery), a need for QoL therapy was diagnosed in 92/103 (89%) of intervention and 86/104 (83%) of control group patients. At 12 months (primary endpoint) the proportion of patients with a need for QoL therapy was 35/83 (42%; 95% CI 31–54%) in the intervention group versus 50/87 (57%; 95% CI: 46–68%) in the control group (p = 0·046, number needed to treat = 7; 95% CI 3–225). Interpretation Patients profited from the diagnosis of QoL deficits and tailored therapeutic options in their treatment of colorectal cancer. This trial confirmed the results of a previous RCT in breast cancer patients. The implementation of QoL concepts should become standard in treatment guidelines on cancer care.
