Trial Outcomes & Findings for Home-Based Programs for Improving Sleep in Cancer Survivors (NCT NCT00993928)

NCT ID: NCT00993928

Last Updated: 2019-12-03

Results Overview

The primary analysis will compare the change in time (in minutes) to fall asleep from baseline to week 7 as reported by question 3 in the sleep diary: "How long did it take you to get to sleep last night?" and time to fall back asleep after awakening during the night as reported by question 6A on sleep dairy: "When waking up after first falling asleep, how long did it take you to fall back to sleep?" \> \> Data were analyzed as a percent change from baseline to week 7. The percent change were compared between arms using a Wilcoxon rank-sum test.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 7 weeks

Population: In Arm A, 4 went off treatment prior to week 7 and 2 had missing data. 23 patients were able to respond to question 6A. In Arm B, 7 did not finish 7 weeks of treatment and 1 patient had missing data. 16 patients responded to question 6A. Therefore, Q3 and Q6A are based on 37 and 23 patients in Arm A and 30 and 23 patients from Arm B, respectively.

The primary analysis will compare the change in time (in minutes) to fall asleep from baseline to week 7 as reported by question 3 in the sleep diary: "How long did it take you to get to sleep last night?" and time to fall back asleep after awakening during the night as reported by question 6A on sleep dairy: "When waking up after first falling asleep, how long did it take you to fall back to sleep?" \> \> Data were analyzed as a percent change from baseline to week 7. The percent change were compared between arms using a Wilcoxon rank-sum test.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 7 weeks

Population: In Arm A, 38 patients responded to questions during week 4 and 37 responded during week 7. In Arm B, 31 patients responded during week 4 and 30 responded during week 7.

Overall efficacy was analyzed as a composite of 4 outcomes: 1. sleep difficulty, 2. sleep quality, 3. Number of awakenings, and 4. Sleep latency. These 4 outcomes were measured by the responses to the following questions, respectively:\> 1. How difficult was it to get to sleep last night? (scale 1-5, 5 meaning very easy)\> 2. How deeply did you sleep last night? (scale 1-5, 5 meaning very deeply)\> 3. How many times did you awaken last night?\> 4. How long did it take you to get to sleep last night?\> \> The 4 questions were analyzed as percent change from baseline after week 4 and after week 7. The percent change between arms was analyzed using a Wilcoxon test.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline and 7 weeks

Population: Thirty-six patients from Arm A and 31 patients from Arm B had PSQI measurements available for analysis.

The PSQI has 19 items and seven component scales: subjective sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep duration, habitual sleep efficiency, sleep-wake disturbances, use of sleep medication, and daytime dysfunction. The scoring algorithm yields seven component scales on 0-3 scales which are summed to produce a global score on a 0-21 scale with higher values representing more severe sleep difficulty. The percentage of patients that showed improvement or worsening in sleep score from baseline to Week 7 were analyzed and compared using a Chi-squared test.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: At baseline and week 7

Population: Patients that completed the POMS-B questionnaire at baseline and week 7 were used in this analysis.

The POMS-B is a shortened version of the original POMS with 30 items each asking the patient to select how he/she has been feeling during the past week with respect to an adjective such as "tense", "angry", "worn out", etc., on a 0-4 scale (0=not at all; 4=extremely). The POMS-B consists of six identifiable mood states (tension/anxiety, depression/dejection, anger/hostility, vigor/activity, fatigue/inertia, and confusion/bewilderment) and measures the patient's total mood disturbance. This study analyzed total mood disturbance (total scale score) as a secondary endpoints. Possible weekly scores ranged from 0-120. Week 7 scores were analyzed as a percentage change from baseline with a negative score representing a worsening condition. A Wilcoxon rank-sum test was used to compare treatment arms.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: From baseline to week 7

Population: All patients that completed a Distress Thermometer assessment at baseline and week 7 were included in the analysis.

The Distress Thermometer is a single-item tool which asks patients to describe how much distress he/she has been experiencing in the past week on a scale of 0 to 10 (0=no distress, 10=extreme distress). The Distress Thermometer was selected for this study due to its brevity. Week 7 distress measures were analyzed as percent change from baseline and analyzed between arms with a t-test.
