About this study

Official title: Developing a Health Education Intervention for Breast Cancer Survivorship

The purpose of this study is to develop and test a 6 month manualized Health Education intervention in recent breast cancer survivors.

Read the detailed description

Post-treatment cancer survivorship is often associated with a void in care given the drop-off in support provided to survivors from the medical team as well as family and friends. The investigators aim to develop and test a Health Education intervention in breast cancer survivors. Specifically, the investigators aim to develop the manualized Health Education intervention; to assess feasibility; and to provide preliminary data on the effects of the intervention. The data from this pilot study will be used to inform future study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in quality of life over 6 months

    The investigators will use the EORTC QLQ C30 in conjunction with a breast cancer-specific subscale, BR23, to collect data on quality of life and cancer-related symptoms.

    Measured: Baseline, 3 months, 6 months

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Change in fatigue over 6 months

    The investigators will use the Lee Fatigue Scale (LFS) to collect data on fatigue.

    Measured: Baseline, 3 months, 6 months

  2. Change in sleep quality over 6 months

    The investigators will use the General Sleep Disturbance Scale (GSDS) to collect data on sleep disturbance.

    Measured: Baseline, 3 months, 6 months

  3. Change in anxiety over 6 months

    The investigators will use the Spielberger State Anxiety Inventory (STAI-S) to collect data on anxiety.

    Measured: Baseline, 3 months, 6 months

  4. Change in depressive symptoms over 6 months

    The investigators will use the Center for Epidemiological Studies - Depression Scale (CES-D) to collect data on depressive symptoms.

    Measured: Baseline, 3 months, 6 months

  5. Change in pain over 6 months

    The investigators will use the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) to collect data on pain intensity and interference with function.

    Measured: Baseline, 3 months, 6 months

  6. Change in diet over 6 months

    The investigators will use the Automated Self-Administered 24-hour Recall (ASA24) to assess dietary recall over a 24 hour period.

    Measured: Baseline, 3 months, 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Individualized Manualized Health Education Intervention in people with Breast Cancer, run by University of California, San Francisco 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 4 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 5 Mar 2019. 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?

Change in quality of life over 6 months (time frame: Baseline, 3 months, 6 months). 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 5 Mar 2019.
