Feasibility of Immunotherapy Administration to Patients With Bronchial Cancer in a Hospital-at- Home Setting (ImHADom)

Overview

This observational prospective monosite study aims to describe, for the first time, management in a hospital-at-home programme of patients treated by immunotherapy for bronchial cancer. The feasibility in good conditions of this management, the patients' quality of life and their satisfaction will be evaluated.

Those last years, immunotherapy treatment for bronchial cancers allowed considerable progress in terms of tumoral answer, survival without progression and global survival. Usually administered in the day hospitalization department, its preparation and administration to the patient are compatible with hospital-at-home management. Currently, this offer of care is rarely proposed, and only in particular situations. At the Hospital of Pau, it was introduced recently. It is proposed to patients who have been receiving immunotherapy for at least 4 months. At the moment, there is no study stating the feasibility of home hospitalization for patients treated by immunotherapy. Given that there is neither regulatory obstacle nor any contraindication to care in home hospitalization, the choice of a descriptive study stands out. This study will be proposed to all the patients for whom home hospitalization has been decided and scheduled by the healthcare team in a medical staff meeting. The patients included in the study will be followed according to the common practice: a consultation every 3 months during 1 year.
