Study Summary

This is a single-site cluster-randomized trial to assess efficacy and implementation outcomes of deprescribing interventions in 72 older adults with polypharmacy (PP) and curable cancers initiating chemotherapy. Oncologists (as the cluster) will enroll 6 patients each and will be randomized to either a pharmacist-led deprescribing intervention or patient education intervention. Initial focus groups with oncologists, nurses, pharmacists, primary care physicians, and patients will provide data for initial adaptations to the pharmacist-led intervention arm, and 8 patients will be enrolled as a pre-trial cohort to further refine and adapt the pharmacist-led intervention.

Primary Outcome

Relative dose intensity (RDI) of chemotherapy, based upon standard dosing from National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines or similar reference. RDI assesses the proportion of planned therapy that the patient receives within 12 weeks of initiation of chemotherapy.
