About this study

Official title: Phase II Pilot Study Evaluating the Feasibility of Delivery and Evaluation of a Digital Cognitive-Behavioral Stress Management (CBSM) Device (BNT001) for Treatment of Anxiety and Depressive Symptoms in Patients With Stage I-III Breast or Stage I-III Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

This phase II trial studies the effect of a digital application (app), BNT001, on cognitive-behavioral stress management in patients with stage I-III breast or lung cancer. The app is designed for cancer patients to treat anxiety and depressive symptoms related to their cancer diagnosis. The purpose of this study is to develop and refine procedures for eligibility screening, suicide risk assessment, and delivery of the app prior to the launch of a phase III randomized trial. The impact of the app in managing stress and improving quality of life and mood is a secondary aim.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

  1. To assess the feasibility of implementing and evaluating a digital cognitive-behavioral stress management (CBSM) device, BNT001, in stage I-III breast or stage I-III non-small cell lung cancer currently undergoing treatment or recently completed treatment (< 3 months).

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To collect preliminary data regarding the efficacy of the intervention with regard to improvements in patients' reported symptoms of distress.

II. To evaluate patient safety and risks associated with screening procedures (severe anxiety or depression) as well as during receipt of the digital intervention.

OUTLINE:

Prior to participating in the study patients complete an online baseline questionnaire to assess anxiety and depression and general quality of life, as well as some specific questions related to their coping. They are also interviewed by a clinician who rates their level of anxiety and depression. After this, patients use the BNT001 app and undergo 10 sessions of CBSM over 45-60 minutes each consisting of cancer-specific educational videos, guided relaxation training, interactive exercises, and discussion modules. Following completion of the 5th session, patients undergo a telephone check-in assessment to see how things are going, update their treatments and medications, and schedule a phone call to assess for adverse events. At the end of the 10th session, patients complete a post-treatment online questionnaire and a phone debriefing interview to discuss their experience with the intervention.

What is being measured

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

  1. Feasibility of implementing and evaluating the BNT001 digital Cognitive-Behavioral Stress Management device

    Feasibility will be evaluated by the rate of recruitment, total number of screens and number of screen fails, treatment adherence (as measured on the backend based on time and regularity of engaging with the digital platform), and number of study completers versus enrolled. The analytic strategy will be primarily descriptive and qualitative. Will also obtain qualitative feedback on participation in the study and study intervention through the end of study de-briefing interview.

    Measured: Up to 1 year

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Change in global health

    Change in Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement and Information System (PROMIS)-Global Health Scale v.1.2 using one sample t-tests.

    Measured: Baseline up to 10 weeks

  2. Change in anxiety symptoms

    Will be assessed by PROMIS-Anxiety version 1.0 using one sample t-tests.

    Measured: Baseline up to 10 weeks

  3. Change in depression symptoms

    Will be assessed by PROMIS-Depression version 1.0 using one sample t-tests.

    Measured: Baseline up to 10 weeks

  4. Change in anxiety

    Will be assessed by the Hamilton Rating Scale for Anxiety.

    Measured: Baseline up to 10 weeks

  5. Change in depression

    Will be assessed by the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale.

    Measured: Baseline up to 10 weeks

  6. Patient safety and risks

    Will concatenate data regarding the number of individuals requiring severe psychopathology management identified during screening procedures, as well as the number of individuals requiring clinical assessment for severe symptoms during the course of the study.

    Measured: Up to 10 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Interview and Quality-of-Life Assessment in people with Anatomic Stage I Breast Cancer AJCC v8 and Anatomic Stage IA Breast Cancer AJCC v8, run by Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer 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 6 inclusion and 7 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Jul 2023. 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 stopped early (reason given: manufacturer reevaluating Digital cognitive-behavioral stress management (CBSM) device (Attunetm)). Results are not available in the source record.

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

What does the primary outcome measure?

Feasibility of implementing and evaluating the BNT001 digital Cognitive-Behavioral Stress Management device (time frame: Up to 1 year). 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?
