A Comparison Study to Cross-validate the Linear Analogue Self-Assessment (LASA), Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS), and Patient-reported Outcomes Version of the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (PRO-CTCAE) in Assessing Cancer Patient Well-being

Overview

About this study

This study is being done to compare questions from a large set of questions called the Patient-Reported Outcomes Version of the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (PRO-CTCAE), the Patient-reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) and the Linear Analogue Self-Assessment (LASA). These are questions which ask patients about their symptoms. This study will look at properties of these questions and will provide information about how these questions can be improved for future clinical trials. The study items have been developed under a contract from the National Cancer Institute (NCI).
