Your views on the content of a short video for patients taking part in the POETIC-A trial.

The purpose of the video is to support women taking part in a clinical trial called POETIC-A, who may experience diarrhoea as a result of taking a drug called abemaciclib. We would like to hear from you about our proposed content and style of the video. This will help us to make improvements and to make sure that what matters most to patients is included in the video.

The short questionnaire below should take about 10 minutes to complete..

What is the POETIC-A trial?

POETIC-A (Pre-Operative Endocrine Therapy for Individualised Care with Abemaciclib) is a new trial for women recently diagnosed with early breast cancer. The trial is sponsored by The Institute of Cancer Research and launched in December 2020. POETIC-A is aiming to recruit more than 5000 patients across the UK.

Women taking part in the POETIC-A trial will receive either i) standard anti-hormone treatment alone or ii) a new drug called abemaciclib plus anti-hormone treatment.

Abemaciclib is a tablet taken daily for two years at the same time as standard anti hormone therapy.

It is very important that patients taking part in POETIC-A remain on abemaciclib for the full duration of treatment. However, one of the known side effects of abemaciclib is diarrhoea.

Therefore, we are designing a video to support patients during their treatment and between follow-up appointments.

Are you interested in helping us with the next stage of video production?

We would like to invite 4-5 patient representatives to join a focus group to contribute to the design and editing of the video.

More details can be found at the end of the questionnaire, where you can register your interest. Participants in the focus group will be reimbursed for their contribution.
