Brief Summary:
The study aims to test on a cohort of rare patients a digital innovative tool to support patientsparents in the informed consent and assent process and to keep up-to-date a lawful informed and dynamic consent and to use samples and data for research purposes This will favour their engagement in clinical studies a step which is well known to be very demanding particularly in the rare diseases scenario and stimulate a bidirectional dialogue between researchers and patientsparentslegal representatives
Detailed Description:
The study is organized into three main steps Firstly an anonymous Consent Survey will be prepared to collect the opinions of stakeholders engaged in the RDs on strengths and weaknesses of the process of consent and assent collection This Survey will be conducted through SurveyMonkey or similar tools posted on websites and social media and made available to all stakeholders patients carers healthcare professionals patient associations Key topics like the proper consideration of paediatric specificities due to age-dependent characteristics and patient satisfaction in terms of information received during the consentassent process will be addressed
The survey will comprise multiple-choice and open questions Expectations related to the use of dynamic consent potential disbeliefs and tools for promoting and regulating participation into future research studies text video will also be evaluated Statistical analysis on survey results as well as sentiment analysis will be performed
The second step will consist of two main activities
A the realization of dynamic informed consent and assent templates for the processing and management of data and samples The templates will be drafted based on the long-standing experience of the research teams and the outcomes of the Consent Survey along with the available literature and guidelines They will be designed in full compliance with the GDPR as implemented by the Italian legislation Information on patientsamp39 rights purposes of data usage legal basis and measures taken to implement lawfulness of data processing will be included
B The design and establishment of an innovative digital tool a software application to implement the dynamic consent and allowing interaction among healthcare professionals and patients This tool will be designed considering multiple aspects like Consent Survey results Firstly this tool will guide patients and caregivers to a rapid and easy access to their consentassent allowing them to have a clear picture of their consented studies and consenting preferences to possibly modify andor withdraw their consent Secondly new studies will be synthetically published on the digital tool in order to favour the patients engagement with a particular attention to adolescents and young adults who are more familiar with these approaches being digital natives RD patients may be re-contacted to be informed about any new purposes of data and sample processing The digital tool will allow healthcare professionals to give feedback on ongoing studies and to present results in laymans terms to patients Finally it will be of help in critical steps of the research process such as re-consenting procedures for minors who reach the age of legal competency Considering all the mentioned components the digital tool will promote a high-level of transparency The final positive impact expected is an improved process resulting in reduced costs for both patients and the National Health System In fact the integration of data from multiple sources will result in increased knowledge and dissemination of correct information directly to patients thus drastically reducing misinformation duplicate visits and optimizing patient enrolment
The third step of this aim is the test and validation of the dynamic consent in a cohort of rare patients Enrolling centers both dealing with RD patients consent on a daily basis will conduct a pilot study enrolling a cohort of RD patients min 50 subjects during clinical routine care This step will comprise a satisfaction questionnaire - proposed to all participating patients and carers - with the final aim of identifying pitfalls and opportunities of this innovative consenting approach and eventually implement the digital tool according to the collected responses
