Key requirements
Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.
- Ages 18 years and older
- All sexes
- No healthy volunteers
- Adult, Older adult
Who may be able to join
- Past History of any lung cancer
- For Stage I-III disease, patients should be 2-24 months post-completion of surgery, radiation therapy and/or chemotherapy with no further planned treatment during the 12-week study and no evidence of disease.
- For Stage IV disease, patients may be receiving no treatment or may be receiving maintenance treatment with a target agent, chemotherapy, or immunotherapy provided the most recent imaging does not demonstrate progressive disease.
- After completion of all three screening questionnaires, participant must score accordingly on at least one questionnaire to be eligible.
- Willing/able to attend brief introductory session and use assigned device for the assigned period of time (15 minutes once or twice per day), at least 5 days per week for 12 weeks
- Age ≥ 18 years
- Must have telephone
Who cannot join
- Patient does not understand English
- Active lung infection
- Progressive cancer (must be considered no evidence of disease or stable)
- Any change in psychotropic medications in past 30 days
- Hearing loss that would preclude participating in interventions. Adequate hearing to participate will be determined via: (1) Response of "no" to the question ["Do you have a hearing problem now?"] Participants with hearing aids will be allowed to enroll as long as their hearing is adequate to hear the sounds on the study devices. If necessary, potential study participants will receive a brief test trial with the RESPeRATE device. If they indicate inability to hear the guiding tones, they will not be enrolled in the study.
- Cortisol Exclusion
- Participants with endocrine disorders (e.g., diabetes and thyroid disorders) or on steroid-based medications are excluded from the cortisol portion of the study (with the exception of topical hydrocortisone that is permitted).

About this study
The purpose of this research study is to compare the effects of music and different levels of device-guided breathing on anxiety and shortness of breath in lung cancer survivors.
Read the detailed description
OBJECTIVES
- To assess feasibility (accrual, participation, adherence, retention) of a randomized study of device-guided breathing and music in 75 post-treatment lung cancer survivors with significant anxiety.
- To obtain preliminary data on the variability and efficacy of two doses of a device-guided breathing intervention versus a music control group for reducing anxiety (primary outcome) and for improving self-reported dyspnea and respiratory functioning (secondary outcomes) in post-treatment lung cancer survivors.
- To select the optimal dose of the device-guided breathing intervention (15 minutes once/day or twice/day) for subsequent randomized study.
- Conditions
- Lung Cancer
- Being tested
- Group A - Device guided breathing low dose, Group B - Device guided breathing high dose, Group C - Usual Breathing Control Group
- Keywords
- anxiety, Dyspnea, respiratory functioning
- Medical subject headings
- Lung Neoplasms, Anxiety Disorders, Dyspnea
What participants receive

Group A: 15 minutes once a day, 5 days a week for 12 weeks.
Group B - Device guided breathing high doseDevice
Also called RESPeRATE (InterCure Ltd) Device
Group B - 15 minutes twice a day, 5 days a week for 12 weeks.
Group C - Usual Breathing Control GroupDevice

| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Group A | Experimental | Group A - Device Guided Breathing Low Dose Receives: Device: Group A - Device guided breathing low dose |
| Group B | Experimental | Group B - Device guided breathing high dose Receives: Device: Group B - Device guided breathing high dose |
| Group C | Sham comparator | Group C - Usual Breathing Control Group Receives: Device: Group C - Usual Breathing Control Group |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Retention - Number of Participants Who Complete the Final Assessment
Retention will be calculated as the number of participants who complete the final assessment divided by number randomized.
Measured: 12 weeks
Adherence- Amount of Time the Device is Used
Adherence will be calculated as the actual amount of time the device is used divided by the prescribed time. Successful adherence will be defined as use of the device ≥80% of the time assigned.
Measured: 12 weeks
Accrual Rate- Number of Patients Accrued to the Study
The accrual rate will be calculated as the number of patients accrued to the study divided by the number of months of accrual.
Measured: Time from study opening to study close ~46.42 months
Secondary outcomes (1)
Change From Baseline for Anxiety as Measured by Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS)
To obtain preliminary data on the variability and efficacy of two doses of a device-guided breathing intervention versus a usual breathing control group for reducing anxiety. This is a 14-item self-report measure of cognitive and behavioral symptoms of anxiety and depression; clinically significant symptoms are indicated by a score of greater than or equal to 8 with a range from 0 to 42. Higher scores indicate more anxiety.
Measured: 12 weeks

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Group A - Device guided breathing low dose and Group B - Device guided breathing high dose in people with Lung Cancer, run by Wake Forest University Health Sciences at 11 sites in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Mar 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 11 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 18 Feb 2021). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Retention - Number of Participants Who Complete the Final Assessment (time frame: 12 weeks). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02063828, which also lists 96 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 5 Mar 2021.
