Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of the study is to collect data in a real-world environment, for a digital therapeutic that delivers CBT-I through a decentralized clinical trial, open to participants with chronic insomnia.

Description:

This is an open-access, open-label, decentralized clinical trial to collect real-world evidence for PEAR-003A, a digital therapeutic delivering CBT-I. Potential participants will answer an online prescreening questionnaire to determine eligibility. Qualifying participants will proceed to complete 6 weekly modules through their personal mobile phone or tablet in nine weeks. A series of the assessment and questionnaires will be administered at set points during the study. Participants will be asked to complete a follow-up module about 26 weeks, and at Days 243 (6-month), 428 (12-month), 610 (18-month) and 793 (24-month) after completing treatment. A subset of approximately 34 participants may be asked to partake in a optional user experience sub study. The participant will be asked to provide study feedback by either completing a five-day diary or an interview.
