The Integrated Consent Model is being increasingly used internationally to improve patient care. In this feasibility study we will explore whether the model is feasible in practice; and whether it can be used to increase the number of physicians and patients who take part in clinical trials, and address the critical issue around the optimal febrile neutropenia prevention by randomizing eligible patients to either G-CSF or ciprofloxacin.
