An Open Trial of Metacognitive Therapy for Anxiety & Depression in Cancer

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Clinical Trial Description

Survival rates in cancer continue to improve, with over 2 million adult cancer survivors in the United Kingdom, projected to increase to 4 million by 2030. Around 25% of these survivors require treatment for clinical levels of emotional distress. There is scope for improvements in the efficacy of current pharmacological and psychological interventions. Reflecting this limited efficacy in the face of the need for psychological treatment, the National Cancer Survivorship Research Initiative highlighted development and evaluation of practically feasible interventions for depression and anxiety in cancer survivors as an urgent research priority. It is recognised that current influential psychotherapeutic approaches need to be modified to meet the specific needs associated with cancer. However modifications have been pragmatic rather than theory-driven and have not improved efficacy.

This study addresses the stages of 'development' and 'piloting and feasibility' in intervention development, albeit with a relatively well-defined starting point given existing evidence for efficacy of MCT in other settings and promising preliminary evidence of applicability in cancer. The investigators will conduct a phase I open trial to test the potential efficacy of MCT in cancer survivors. ;
