About this study

Official title: Prospective Study Evaluating the Use of PROSPECT, a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy-based Internet Module, to Reduce Insomnia in Patients With Early Stage Breast Cancer

Women with early stage breast cancer may experience difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep. If this occurs for more than 4 weeks, these participants may have chronic insomnia. Chronic insomnia can lead to difficulty coping with stress, changes in mood, increased use of medications for sleep and an overall decrease in quality of life.

The investigators have developed an internet-based website that is designed to help people manage symptoms typically experienced by breast cancer survivors, including insomnia, fatigue, pain and overall poor quality of life. The investigators want to learn whether this type of treatment can reduce chronic insomnia and improve the way subjects feel using both questionnaires and a special form of a wrist watch. This information may help the investigators better manage sleep difficulties in subjects who experience these symptoms after diagnosis of their breast cancer.

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, including insomnia, through non-pharmacologic approaches.

Study groups in NCT02712437
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
PROSPECTExperimentalParticipants who have received treatment for early stage breast cancer and who experience chronic insomnia as assessed by difficulty sleeping for >30 days with an insomnia severity index score of >14. Participants will complete baseline symptom questionnaires and actigraphy, then complete an internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy program (PROSPECT) for 6 weeks. Participants will then repeat questionnaires and actigraphy at 6 weeks and questionnaires at 12 weeks.
Receives: Behavioral: PROSPECT

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Insomnia Severity Index

    Insomnia will be measured through the use of a validated survey called the Insomnia Severity Index

    Measured: 6 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Change in Sleep Disturbance as measured by Actigraphy

    Sleep disturbance will be measured through the use of actigraphy watches to be worn for 7 days at baseline and 7 days after 6 weeks of the intervention

    Measured: 6 weeks
