About this study

Official title: Preliminary Evaluation of an Internet-Assisted Cognitive Behavioral Intervention for Targeted Therapy Fatigue

The purpose of this study is to evaluate Cognitive Behavioral Intervention for Targeted Therapy Fatigue (CBT-TTF) with fatigued chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) patients on tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) for feasibility, acceptability and potential efficacy relative to usual care only in a small-scale randomized controlled trial.

Being tested
Therapy for Targeted Therapy-related Fatigue (TTF), Wait-List Control Condition (WLC)
Keywords
CML, chronic phase CML, leukemia
Medical subject headings

What participants receive

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

  • Therapy for Targeted Therapy-related Fatigue (TTF)Other

    Also called behavioral therapy

    Cognitive Behavior Therapy for Targeted Therapy-related Fatigue (CBT-TTF) group will receive cognitive behavior therapy to help manage fatigue via FaceTime on an iPad, which will be provided to participants. Participants will meet with a trained therapist who will outline their therapy plan and will be taught how to use the iPad for upcoming therapy sessions. The sessions will initially be held weekly, but the therapist may schedule sessions at 1-, 2-, or 3-week intervals during the 18 week study period. The final session will be conducted either in-person at Moffitt or via FaceTime.

  • Wait-List Control Condition (WLC)Other

    Also called standard of care, SOC

    Participants randomized to Wait-List Control Condition will continue to receive care under direction of their Moffitt Cancer Center (MCC) physician. Physicians will be informed by email of patients' participation on the basis of elevated fatigue and their randomization to WLC. Chart review and a patient self-report form will be used at baseline and follow-up assessments to determine what, if any, services or interventions participants received in the preceding 18 weeks that might address fatigue.

What is being measured

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

  1. Self-reported Fatigue Scores - Change From Baseline Per Scoring Category

    Baseline versus follow-up fatigue will be assessed with the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy Fatigue Scale (FACIT-Fatigue) v.4, a 13-item self-report measure yielding total score with demonstrated reliability, validity, sensitivity to change and an identified Minimally Clinically Important Difference (MID). The fatigue subscale consists of 13 items asking about fatigue in the past 7 days. Items are summed to produce a score ranging from 0-52 with lower scores indicating greater fatigue. A difference of 3 points on the fatigue subscale indicates a clinically-important difference.

    Measured: Baseline and at 18 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Self-reported Quality of Life (QoL) Scores - Change From Baseline Per Scoring Category

    Baseline versus follow-up quality of life will be assessed with the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy General Scale (FACT-G) v.4, a 27-item measure yielding total score and scores for physical, social/family, emotional, and functional well-being of demonstrated reliability, validity, and sensitivity to change. FACT-G consists of 4 subscales: physical well-being (PWB), functional well-being (FWB), emotional well-being (EWB) and social well-being (SWB). Scores on the four subscales are summed to produce a total score ranging from 0 to 108 with higher scores indicating better quality of life.

    Measured: Baseline and at 18 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Therapy for Targeted Therapy-related Fatigue (TTF) in people with Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia, run by H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute 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 8 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 16 Nov 2021. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 5 Mar 2019). 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?

Self-reported Fatigue Scores - Change From Baseline Per Scoring Category (time frame: Baseline and at 18 weeks). 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 NCT02592447, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 16 Nov 2021.
