Official title:
The SEAMLESS Study: A Clinical Trial Evaluation of a SmartphonE App-based MindfuLnEss Intervention for Cancer SurvivorS
Smartphone app-based health interventions are an innovative way to deliver psychosocial cancer-care. In the SEAMLESS study, the investigators aim to evaluate a 4 week smartphone app-based mind-body intervention (MBI) in cancer survivors post-treatment. This is a randomized controlled trial, with a waitlist control group. Participants will be assigned to either receive the intervention immediately after enrollment or will need to wait for 3 months to receive the intervention.
BACKGROUND Cancer patients who are in the transition phase to survivorship after completing their final treatments need psychosocial interventions to manage stressors such as anxiety, depression, and fear of cancer recurrence. Smartphone app-based health interventions are an innovative way to deliver psychosocial cancer-care. In the SEAMLESS study, the investigators aim to evaluate an app-based mind-body intervention (MBI) in cancer survivors. The need for psychosocial interventions for cancer survivors has been highlighted by the Institute of Medicine in their landmark survivorship report appropriately titled, "Lost in Transition." Cancer survivors are often unable to participate in face-to-face interventions because of difficulties such as compromised immunity, treatment-related side-effects, scheduling conflicts and geography. A smartphone-app based MBI can overcome several such difficulties, since patients can participate at their own convenience without the burden of travel and scheduling classes. INTERVENTION DESIGN The AM smartphone app supports personalized mindfulness practices through lessons and personalized guided-meditation playlists; AM reportedly reduced anxiety in a study with college students. AM interprets its users' emotional state, e.g. angry, elated, from a user-inputted digital emotion-mapping board; and heart-rate data through algorithms that analyze facial bio-signals. The SEAMLESS study is a randomized wait-list controlled trial, which will evaluate AM's effectiveness for reducing stress (primary outcome), anxiety, depression, fatigue and fear of cancer recurrence in cancer survivors who have completed all treatments for 2 weeks or more. Outcomes will be assessed online using validated PROMIS measures at 1) baseline, 2) mid-point 3) immediately post-intervention, 4&5) 3 and 6 months follow-up post-baseline. SIGNIFICANCE Cancer-care providers are uncertain about the efficacy of app-based interventions for patients, which are available in great supply in today's digital world. This study will provide rigorously evaluated efficacy data for an app-based MBI for cancer survivors, which if helpful, could be made easily available for psychosocial care at cancer centers worldwide. ;
