Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

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.
