The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effectiveness of a navigation-based multilevel intervention (ENDURE) with treatment as usual (TAU) to improve the initiation of guideline-adherent postoperative radiation therapy among patients with head and neck cancer. The main questions the trial aims to answer are:
In this hybrid type 1 effectiveness-implementation study, the investigators will conduct a stepped-wedge cluster randomized trial with cancer centers (n=4; 484 patients) randomized to sequentially deliver treatment as usual (TAU) then ENDURE to patients with head and neck cancer undergoing surgery and postoperative radiation therapy (PORT). The trial will assess the effect of ENDURE vs TAU on improving initiation of timely PORT (primary objective) and the underlying mechanisms of ENDURE (secondary objective). The investigators will concurrently conduct a mixed-methods study with quantitative measures of implementation outcomes and qualitative data about implementation determinants from semi-structured interviews with key stakeholders and site visits (exploratory objective).

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| ENDURE | Experimental | ENDURE is a theoretically-informed, navigation-based, multilevel intervention targeting barriers to timely, guideline-adherent PORT. |
|
| Treatment As Usual | No Intervention | Treatment as usual at each site consists of standard of care clinical practices |
| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ENDURE | Behavioral | ENDURE provides patient education through the ENDURE Patient Resource Guide and social support by linking patients to community resources (patient-level), standardizes discussions about expectations for PORT and clinical documentation to enhance communication and care coordination within and across interprofessional cancer teams (team-level), and implements referral tracking across fragmented health systems (organization-level). To facilitate care coordination, ENDURE modifies existing standard of care patient navigation (an evidence-based intervention that addresses barriers to timely cancer care) by adding PORT-focused navigation at three key care transitions: into the cancer care system; from inpatient to outpatient after surgery; and from the surgical team to the radiation oncology team. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Initiation of Timely PORT | The initiation of PORT > 6 weeks (42 days) following definitive surgery for HNSCC. | 3 months |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Time-to-PORT | The number of days from the date of definitive surgery for HNSCC to the date of initiation of PORT. | 4 months |
| Pre-Surgical consultation with radiation oncology | Consultation with a treating radiation oncologist prior to definitive surgery for HNSCC. |

Below are the key elements of the data sharing plan as outlined in the NIH Policy for Data Management and Sharing:
Research materials will include: (1) self-report measures from patients; (2) clinical data from the electronic medical record; (3) audio recordings and transcriptions of interviews from stakeholders; and (4) field notes from direct observations of the delivery of ENDURE at each site. Data will be raw or minimally processed. The investigators plan to use REDCap for data capture and management of the clinical and self-report measure data and NVivo for management of the qualitative data. REDCap data dictionaries can be distributed for reuse. The final data dictionaries have not been developed. Scientific data and metadata will be generated, preserved, and shared using NIH common data elements. Scientific data and metadata arising from the project will be uploaded to openICPSR, a self-publishing repository for social, behavioral, and health sciences research data.
Data will be shared no later than the time of a publication of findings of the trial's primary endpoint in a peer-reviewed journal.
All data sharing will comply with privacy and confidentiality protections such as the NIH Certificate of Confidentiality and applicable laws, regulations, and policies governing data derived from human participants.
