Brief Title: Perceptions of Cell and Gene Therapies (CGT) for the Treatment of Cancer
Official Title: Understanding Patients and Prescriber Perceptions of Cell and Gene Therapy (CGT) in Oncology
Study ID: NCT03336567
Brief Summary: Gene and cell therapies have a real value potential (example: potential long-term effect, curative potential, and single administration) but also drawbacks (example: treatment perceived as complex and risky generating fear and anxiety in subjects and their family; high cost) that require significant educational efforts and planning for optimal market access. It is therefore important to understand subject and physician perceptions of T-Cell Receptor (TCR) therapies. The aim of this study is to collect qualitative data from a small but diverse sample of oncologists and subjects in the United States to gather qualitative evidence for a preliminary understanding about their perceptions of T-cell therapies in the treatment of cancer. This cross-sectional study will involve up to 20 adult subjects with cancer and up to 20 oncologists/hematologist-oncologists in the United States. Eligible subjects will be scheduled for a telephone interview lasting approximately 60-90 minutes. Eligible oncologists will be scheduled for a telephone interview lasting approximately 60 minutes. Searching social media is another way of understanding the perceptions of prescribers and consumers of CGT, in addition to interviews being conducted under the original protocol. The results of a feasibility assessment suggested that it would be helpful to explore social media to add to the findings from the interviews. This social media study(SMS) is being conducted as a pilot study to hone methods for future explorations of social media. The pilot study will investigate and describe initial themes emerging from existing discussions related to CGT. Findings from this work will help GlaxoSmithKline to plan future work in the social media landscape.
