A phase III; RCT would be deemed feasible if: (1) a minimum of 25% of the clinically eligible patients, who will be invited to take part in the trial are recruited, (2) the attrition rate during the trial is no greater than 20%, and (3) the outcome measures completion rate for the active participants (ie, those who have not withdrawn, died or been lost to follow-up) is above 66%. All the feasibility metrics will be calculated using 95% CIs. Moreover, the patients' and clinicians' feedback will be used to PF-01367338 assess the acceptability of the intervention and shape its future administration as well as the overall communication with participants and healthcare professionals. The recruitment, attrition and questionnaire completion rates, together with the SD of the main intervention outcomes will inform the estimation of the sample size for a future phase III trial. The time needed to collect and analyse the data will be used to determine the optimum timings of each activity, and the overall duration of the trial. The nurse-led intervention piloted in TOPCAT-P is based on a similar trial conducted in England (PROSPECTIV),38 but is significantly different in three methodological areas, which will extend the knowledge gained from PROSPECTIV, and assess the feasibility and acceptability of the intervention in a different area, and in different settings. First, the intervention is offered to stable prostate cancer survivors irrespective of their self-reported level of need. Second, the holistic needs assessment, care planning and information sharing documentation is based on novel instruments currently being considered for routine clinical use in the TOPCAT-P recruitment area. Third, the definition of usual care is updated in response to on-going changes to practice in Wales, including new routine third sector improvements, which will provide a contextualised assessment of the intervention's effects. However, similarly to PROSPECTIV, the intervention is nurse-led, based on a psychoeducational framework, promotes self-management of symptoms, is delivered in the community and includes patients�� close social group (eg, partner, family, carers), where this is relevant and helpful for the patient. Acknowledgments The authors would like to thank our many collaborators who have contributed to this study. The trial is based on the collaborative work of the PROSPECTIV team in Oxford, led by Professor Eila Watson. Marie Burrows conducted a part of the early developmental work. Sandie Jones, Advanced Nurse Practitioner (ANP), screened and invited patients into the trial. Mr Hamid Nikkhouy-Toussi, Consultant Urologist, advised on secondary care prostate cancer follow-up and provided the forms he previously developed in the hospital to monitor patients�� progress post-treatment. Guidance on data management has been provided by Dr David Hunnisett from the North Wales Organisation for Randomised Trials in Health (NWORTH).
