About this study

Official title: A Study of the Feasibility and Acceptability of a Psycho-Educational Cognition Intervention in Adolescents and Young Adults (AYAs) With Cancer

This pilot trial studies how well a psycho-educational program called Emerging from the Haze works in helping patients with blood and lymph cancer. Sometimes, patients who have undergone treatment for cancer experience thinking or memory problems that make work, school, or everyday life activities, such as grocery shopping, difficult. The Emerging from the Haze program may provide resources to help deal with these types of challenges in patients with blood and lymph cancer.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Demonstrate feasibility and acceptability for young adult survivors of various cancers utilizing Emerging from the Haze program.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Describe, summarize study population. II. Characterize, compare the measure scores at pre-intervention assessment to the measure scores at post-intervention assessment.

OUTLINE:

Patients participate in the Emerging from the Haze psycho-educational program weekly over 2 hours for 6 weeks.

Being tested
Educational Intervention, Quality-of-Life Assessment, Survey Administration

What is being measured

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

  1. Enrollment of eligible participants (accrual)

    Feasibility will be assessed through enrollment of >= 60% of eligible participants (accrual) and completion of at least 5 out of 6 sessions for >= 80% of participants (adherence/engagement).

    Measured: Up to 30 days post the end of the six-week program

  2. Completion of sessions (adherence/engagement)

    Feasibility will be assessed through enrollment of >= 60% of eligible participants (accrual) and completion of at least 5 out of 6 sessions for >= 80% of participants (adherence/engagement).

    Measured: Up to 30 days post the end of the six-week program

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Change in Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Cognition scores

    Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Cognitive Function (version 3) (assesses cognitive functioning) The four subscales and associated ranges are as follows: Perceived Cognitive Impairments (range 0-72), Impact of Perceived Cognitive Impairments on Quality of Life (range 0-16), Comments from Others (range 0-16) and Perceived Cognitive Abilities (range 0-28).

    The higher the score, the better the outcome. There is no total score on this measure.

    Measured: Baseline up to 30 days post the end of the six-week program

  2. Change in Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) scores

    Will be used to characterize the change of the study population and evaluate patterns suggesting potential intervention efficacy on outcomes.

    Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System: Cognitive Function- General Concerns version 1.0 and Cognitive Function-Abilities version 1.0 subscales (assess cognitive functioning).For each of these scales the raw score range is 8-40. These scores are then converted to T-scores (Mean = 50, SD = 10).For each of these scales the raw score range is 8-40. These scores are then converted to T-scores (Mean = 50, SD = 10).

    Subscales are not combined for these scales

    Measured: Baseline up to 30 days post the end of the six-week program

  3. Change in Global Self-Report of Cognition scores

    Will use two additional questions in an attempt to capture patient's perception of pre-treatment and current cognitive function and memory. These questions will be scored on a Likert scale (0= best memory possible, 10= worst memory possible) and will be provided to patients at the first and last session. Will be used to characterize the change of the study population and evaluate patterns suggesting potential intervention efficacy on outcomes.

    Measured: Baseline up to 30 days post the end of the six-week program

  4. Change in PROMIS-29 items (29) scores

    Each domain is scored separately. Will be used to characterize the change of the study population and evaluate patterns suggesting potential intervention efficacy on outcomes.

    Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System-29 version 2.0 (assesses symptoms of depression, anxiety, physical function, pain interference, pain intensity, fatigue, sleep disturbance, and ability to participate in social and activities.

    Raw scores range from 4-20 for each subscale listed above except pain intensity which is a single item ranging from 0-10. The raw scores are then converted into T-scores (Mean = 50, SD = 10).

    For physical function, two sleep items and social activities subscales a higher T-score represents higher functioning. For anxiety, depression, fatigue, the other two sleep items and pain interference a higher T-score represents worse functioning.

    The subscales are not combined on this measure

    Measured: Baseline up to 30 days post the end of the six-week program

  5. Satisfaction Survey scores

    Will use a survey to assess satisfaction with the class content and delivery. Will be used to characterize the change of the study population and evaluate patterns suggesting potential intervention efficacy on outcomes.

    Emerging From the Haze Course Survey (assesses satisfaction with the course and content).

    Total scores from responses range from 0-56. Higher values represent more satisfaction with the program. The scores are not combined for this survey.

    Measured: Up to 30 days post the end of the six-week program

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Educational Intervention, Quality-of-Life Assessment and Survey Administration in people with Hematopoietic and Lymphoid Cell Neoplasm, run by City of Hope Medical Center 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 9 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Dec 2020. 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

What does the primary outcome measure?

Enrollment of eligible participants (accrual) (time frame: Up to 30 days post the end of the six-week 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?
