About this study

The Relaxation Response Resiliency Program (3RP) was developed by researchers at the MGH Benson-Henry Institute for Mind Body Medicine; This program has recently been adapted to target the needs of individuals who have completed treatment for lymphoma (3RP-Lymphoma).

Read the detailed description

The Relaxation Response Resiliency Program, or 3RP, was developed by researchers at the MGH Benson-Henry Institute for Mind Body Medicine. The 3RP is a group program that-through a variety of mind-body approaches, such as imagery, relaxation, and yoga-seeks to buffer stress and promote psychological resiliency and physical well-being.

The 3RP has not yet been carried out with individuals who have recently completed treatment for lymphoma. As such, the investigators have adapted the standard 3RP program to target the specific needs of lymphoma patients who are transitioning off active treatment. The investigators are conducting this study to see if the adapted program, the 3RP-Lymphoma, is effective at reducing stress and stress-related symptoms for people who have completed treatment for lymphoma within the past two years. To develop the 3RP-Lymphoma, the investigators conducted interviews with patients who had recently completed treatment to learn about their experiences and their preferences for topics they would want to include in a program tailored to their specific needs. The current phase of the feasibility study will examine if the adapted program is feasible, acceptable, and helps promote stress management among lymphoma survivors who are in the early stages of completing cancer treatment.

    Also called Relaxation Response Resiliency Program for Lymphoma

    An adapted version of the Relaxation Response Resiliency Program (3RP) for individuals who have recently completed treatment for lymphoma.

Study groups in NCT03212261
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
3RP-LymphomaExperimental-An adapted version of the 3RP (3RP-Lymphoma) for lymphoma survivors recently completing cancer treatment. The adapted program incorporates the three prongs of the 3RP: RR elicitation, stress awareness, and adaptive strategies. It will be delivered in weekly sessions over the course of approximately 8 weeks.
Receives: Behavioral: 3RP-Lymphoma

What is being measured

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

  1. Program Feasibility: Number of Participants Who Completed at Least 75% of the Treatment Sessions

    The investigators will evaluate program feasibility by examining rates of treatment completion. Participants who complete at least 75% of the treatment sessions will be identified as treatment completers.

    Measured: 1 month after completing the 3RP-Lymphoma program

  2. Number of Participants Who Found the 3RP Program Acceptable

    Acceptability will be assessed at the one-month follow up data collection period with five questions on the 3RP acceptability questionnaire rated on a 4-point Likert scale (1=not at all to 4=very much); higher scores mean higher levels of acceptability.

    Measured: 1 month after completing the 3RP-Lymphoma program

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of Participants Who Were Eligible to Provide and Provided Hair Cortisol Samples

    The investigators will explore the feasibility and acceptability of collecting hair samples to examine levels of cortisol, a stress biomarker.

    Measured: 1 month after completing the 3RP-Lymphoma program

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?

Program Feasibility: Number of Participants Who Completed at Least 75% of the Treatment Sessions (time frame: 1 month after completing the 3RP-Lymphoma program). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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.
