Description du projet
Améliorer la qualité de vie des personnes atteintes d’un cancer incurable
Les personnes atteintes d’un cancer incurable devraient pouvoir accéder à la réadaptation dans le cadre de leurs soins courants. Tel est l’objectif du projet INSPIRE, financé par l’UE. Il testera l’efficacité clinique et la rentabilité d’une intervention intégrée de réadaptation palliative à court terme. L’objectif est d’améliorer la fonction et la qualité de vie des personnes atteintes d’un cancer incurable. Plus de 300 patients seront recrutés pour participer à un essai contrôlé randomisé multinational dans cinq pays européens. L’objectif est d’évaluer l’efficacité clinique et le rapport coût-efficacité de la réadaptation palliative sur la qualité de vie, le handicap, le fardeau des symptômes et l’atteinte des objectifs chez les personnes atteintes d’un cancer incurable. L’intervention peut être adaptée et intégrée dans différents systèmes de santé avec le personnel et les services existants.
Objectif
Disability related to incurable cancer affects over a million Europeans each year. Our objective is to test the clinical and cost effectiveness of an integrated short-term palliative rehabilitation intervention, to improve function and quality of life in people affected by incurable cancer.
At the core of INSPIRE is a multinational randomised controlled trial across five European countries. We will recruit 340 participants to assess the clinical and cost-effectiveness of palliative rehabilitation on quality of life, disability, symptom burden and goal attainment in people with incurable cancer. If positive, the trial could result in a scalable and equitable intervention that improves function and quality of life in people with incurable cancer, and reduces the burden of care for their families. The intervention can be adapted and integrated into different health systems using existing staff and services, with little or no additional cost.
To support our ambition to make palliative rehabilitation part of routine care for people with incurable cancer we also conduct:
- comparative analysis of health services to understand current integration of rehabilitation across oncology and palliative care services;
- mixed-method evaluations of equity and inclusivity, processes and implementation for the intervention, at patient, health service and health system levels;
- evidence synthesis and a Delphi consensus on indicators, core interventions, outcomes, and integration methods, to develop a framework for palliative rehabilitation practice and policy.
The INSPIRE consortium brings together leaders in palliative care, oncology and rehabilitation from Nordic, Southern and Northern European countries, with complementary expertise in health services research, trials of complex interventions, mixed method evaluations, statistics and economics. We are partnering with European civil society organisations to ensure citizen engagement and dissemination at the highest level.
