About this study

Official title: A Biobehavioral Intervention for Patients With Gynecologic or Breast Cancer Recurrence

This pilot clinical trial studies stress reduction in improving quality of life in patients with recurrent gynecologic or breast cancer. Participating in a stress reduction program may help improve quality of life in patients with gynecologic or breast cancer.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To refine the intervention. II. Test the acceptability, feasibility, and clinical appropriateness of the intervention.

III. To provide a preliminary test of its efficacy.

OUTLINE:

Patients participate in a multi-component intervention based on cognitive and behavioral principles comprising mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), an intervention to promote hopefulness, and a problem solving approach which navigates around obstacles or generates alternatives when goals become blocked. Additional topics may be covered as indicated by clinical need and patients goals. Biobehavioral components include addressing social and disease-specific quality of life, and pain education. Intensive treatment sessions continue weekly for 16 weeks followed by 2 biweekly and 2 monthly maintenance sessions.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 28 weeks.

  1. Quality of life(QoL)

    Quality of life as assessed by Short Form (SF)-36

    Measured: up to 28 weeks

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Mood as assessed by the Profile of Mood States (POMS)

    Measured: Up to 28 weeks

  2. Depressive symptoms as assessed by the Center for Epidemiological Studies, Depression scale (CES-D)

    Study participants will also collect saliva samples at home 4 times a day for 3 days. Saliva samples will be collected at the baseline, mid-treatment, post-treatment and 3-month follow-up assessments. These samples will be used to measure cortisol.

    Measured: Up to 28 weeks

  7. Inflammation

    Blood samples will be used to measure levels of inflammatory markers. Blood draws will be coordinated with the participants' regularly scheduled blood draws to minimize discomfort.

    Measured: Up to 28 weeks
