5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This study will test the effectiveness of mailing fecal immunochemical tests (FITs) in increasing colorectal cancer (CRC) screening rates in U.S. adults ages 45-75. We are implementing this study in two age groups, 45-49 years and 50-75 years.
Detailed Description
Trial (Age Group 50-75) This randomized controlled trial assesses the effectiveness, feasibility, acceptability, and cost-effectiveness of mailing FITs from a central location to patients served by FQHCs. Subjects are randomly selected and assigned to receive either a mailed FIT intervention (Arm 1: Trial Mailed FIT Intervention - Age Group 50-75) or usual care (Arm 2: Trial Usual Care - Age Group 50-75). To assess United States Preventive Services Task Force recommendations for annual screening, we will mail subjects one round of FIT per year for up to two years. Sub-study (Age Group 45-49) A sub-study assesses the effectiveness of mailing FITs from a central location to patients who are 45-49 years of age and newly eligible for CRC screening. The sub-study also assesses the impact of varying the appearance of the FIT packet mailing envelope on FIT return. All eligible patients from one FQHC clinic site are randomly assigned to receive either a mailed FIT intervention that includes an enhanced mailing envelope (Arm 3: Sub-study Mailed FIT Intervention Enhanced Envelope - Age Group 45-49) or a plain envelope (Arm 4: Sub-study Mailed FIT Active Comparator Plain Envelope - Age Group 45-49). The Trial (Age Group 50-75) and the Sub-study (Age Group 45-49) also assess the effectiveness of delivering patient navigation from a central location to facilitate follow up colonoscopy for patients with a positive (abnormal) FIT result.

Model Description
Trial (Age Group 50-75) Using a randomized controlled trial study design, subjects are assigned to one of two arms: Arm 1: Trial Mailed FIT Intervention; or Arm 2: Trial Usual Care. Arm 1 (intervention) receives a mailed FIT plus up to two reminder letters. Subjects are randomized 1:1 at baseline and remain in their assigned arm for the duration of the study (i.e., two annual rounds of mailed FIT). Sub-study (Age Group 45-49) Subjects, ages 45-49, are randomly assigned to one of two arms: Arm 3: Sub-Study Mailed FIT Intervention - Enhanced Envelope; or Arm 4: Sub-study Mailed FIT Active Comparator Plain Envelope. Subjects in both Arm 3 and Arm 4 receive mailed FIT plus up to two reminder letters. Subjects are randomized 1:1 at baseline and remain in their assigned arm for the duration of the sub-study (i.e., one annual round of mailed FIT).

12. IPD Sharing Statement

Plan to Share IPD
Yes
IPD Sharing Plan Description
As outlined in the Notice of Award, each study site must make its Limited Data Set (LDS) accessible to other sites in the ACCSIS consortium. Information Management Services (IMS) will serve as the repository and have responsibility for creating a Limited Consolidated Data Set (LCDS) for analytic use of researchers both within and external to the ACCSIS consortium. Dataset Items in the LDS are defined by the Common Data Elements. There also will be a "public use data set" that consists of the Common Data Elements, available to external researchers. IMS will use a systematic process to remove identifiers. In addition, all data that underlie results in publications will be available per Cancer Moonshot Notice of Award.
IPD Sharing Time Frame
The IPD sharing time frame has not been defined at this time.
IPD Sharing Access Criteria
There are 2 classes of dataset requests: public use and special. Requests are submitted via the IMS website. Requestors electronically sign and submit necessary forms, including an agreement to acknowledge ACCSIS in publications and presentations. A public use dataset containing common data elements is made available to external researchers by application. IMS responds to public use dataset applications by sending the requestor one-time access to a data download link. External researchers may also request a more customized data set. Requestors must submit a brief concept form or ancillary studies form, for preliminary review by the ACCSIS Steering Committee (SC), before invitation to submit a full proposal. Full proposals receive administrative review by NCI and RTI before being sent to the SC for review and approval. Requestors report every 6 months and published articles or conference presentations to RTI. Requestors are encouraged to make articles available through PubMed Central.
