What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • PROSPECTBehavioural

    PROSPECT is an internet-based exercise and behavioral symptom management program developed for patients who experience long-term side effects from cancer treatment. The cancer-specific symptom management intervention is intended as a self-management adjunct to improve cancer- and treatment-related symptoms through non-pharmacologic approaches.

Study groups in NCT02495155
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
FatigueActive comparatorParticipants who have received treatment for early stage breast cancer and who experience fatigue, rated at least a 4 on a scale of 0-10 during the previous week, per patient report. Participants will complete baseline symptom questionnaires, then complete an internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy program (PROSPECT) for 8 weeks, then repeat questionnaires.
Receives: Behavioral: PROSPECT
Treatment-related PainActive comparatorParticipants who have received treatment for early stage breast cancer and who experience pain, rated at least a 4 on a scale of 0-10 during the previous week, per patient report. Participants will complete baseline symptom questionnaires, then complete an internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy program (PROSPECT) for 8 weeks, then repeat questionnaires.
Receives: Behavioral: PROSPECT
InsomniaActive comparatorParticipants who have received treatment for early stage breast cancer and who experience insomnia, assessed as difficulty sleeping over the last week, yes or no, per patient report. Participants will complete baseline symptom questionnaires, then complete an internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy program (PROSPECT) for 8 weeks, then repeat questionnaires.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Improvement in patient-reported symptom with use of PROSPECT for 8 weeks

    To obtain preliminary data about the efficacy of the intervention in this patient population. The investigators will assess change in the participant's primary reported symptom (pain, insomnia, or fatigue) with 8 weeks of the intervention.

    Measured: 8 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Acceptability of the PROSPECT intervention based on patient self-report

    To obtain preliminary data about the acceptability and usability of the intervention in this patient population.

    Measured: 8 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing PROSPECT in people with Breast Cancer and Fatigue, run by University of Michigan at 1 site 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 11 inclusion and 1 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Jul 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Improvement in patient-reported symptom with use of PROSPECT for 8 weeks (time frame: 8 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 26 Jul 2016.
