This is an interventional treatment trial for Breast Cancer focused on measuring Insomnia, Quality of Life, Cognitive behavioral therapy

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)FemaleDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Clinical diagnosis of insomnia as identified through the screening Insomnia Severity Index score >14
  2. Insomnia present for > 30 days per patient report
  3. Female gender
  4. Histologically proven stage 0-III invasive carcinoma of the breast

    a. Patient's must have completed primary surgical resection at least 2 weeks prior to enrollment, radiation at least 2 weeks prior to enrollment and/or cytotoxic chemotherapy at least 6 weeks prior to enrollment in the study

  5. ECOG performance status 0-2
  6. Ability to operate the accelerometer (Actiwatch Spectrum Pro)
  7. The patient is aware of the nature of her diagnosis, understands the study regimen, its requirements, risks, and discomforts, and is able and willing to sign an informed consent document

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Subjects who do not have access to the internet to use the internet-based module, PROSPECT
  2. Initiation of hormone therapy <4 weeks prior to enrollment in the study
  3. Initiation of sleep aids, including over-the-counter or prescription medications taken for insomnia (melatonin, benzodiazepines, antihistamines, etc.) for < 4 weeks prior to enrollment in the study
  4. Use of medication for treatment of another sleep disorder, such as restless leg syndrome or narcolepsy
  5. History of medial or arthritic disease that could confound or interfere with evaluation of activity level, including but not limited to inflammatory arthritis (Rheumatoid Arthritis, Systemic Lupus Spondyloarthropathy, Psoriatic Arthritis, Polymyalgia Rheumatica), Parkinson's disease and cancer involving the bone
  6. Second or third shift workers or others with non-traditional sleep schedules

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

PROSPECT

Arm Description

Participants who have received treatment for early stage breast cancer and who experience chronic insomnia as assessed by difficulty sleeping for >30 days with an insomnia severity index score of >14. Participants will complete baseline symptom questionnaires and actigraphy, then complete an internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy program (PROSPECT) for 6 weeks. Participants will then repeat questionnaires and actigraphy at 6 weeks and questionnaires at 12 weeks.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Change in Insomnia Severity Index
Insomnia will be measured through the use of a validated survey called the Insomnia Severity Index

Secondary Outcome Measures

Change in Sleep Disturbance as measured by Actigraphy
Sleep disturbance will be measured through the use of actigraphy watches to be worn for 7 days at baseline and 7 days after 6 weeks of the intervention

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Women with early stage breast cancer may experience difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep. If this occurs for more than 4 weeks, these participants may have chronic insomnia. Chronic insomnia can lead to difficulty coping with stress, changes in mood, increased use of medications for sleep and an overall decrease in quality of life. The investigators have developed an internet-based website that is designed to help people manage symptoms typically experienced by breast cancer survivors, including insomnia, fatigue, pain and overall poor quality of life. The investigators want to learn whether this type of treatment can reduce chronic insomnia and improve the way subjects feel using both questionnaires and a special form of a wrist watch. This information may help the investigators better manage sleep difficulties in subjects who experience these symptoms after diagnosis of their breast cancer.

Arm Description
Participants who have received treatment for early stage breast cancer and who experience chronic insomnia as assessed by difficulty sleeping for >30 days with an insomnia severity index score of >14. Participants will complete baseline symptom questionnaires and actigraphy, then complete an internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy program (PROSPECT) for 6 weeks. Participants will then repeat questionnaires and actigraphy at 6 weeks and questionnaires at 12 weeks.
Intervention Type
Behavioral
Intervention Name(s)
PROSPECT
Intervention Description
PROSPECT is an internet-based exercise and behavioral symptom management program developed for patients who experience long-term side effects from cancer treatment. The cancer-specific symptom management intervention is intended as a self-management adjunct to improve cancer- and treatment-related symptoms, including insomnia, through non-pharmacologic approaches.
Primary Outcome Measure Information:
Title
Change in Insomnia Severity Index
Description
Insomnia will be measured through the use of a validated survey called the Insomnia Severity Index
Time Frame
6 weeks
Secondary Outcome Measure Information:
Title
Change in Sleep Disturbance as measured by Actigraphy
Description
Sleep disturbance will be measured through the use of actigraphy watches to be worn for 7 days at baseline and 7 days after 6 weeks of the intervention
Time Frame
6 weeks
Other Pre-specified Outcome Measures:
Title
Change in use of sleep aids
Description
A review of the patient's medication list will be conducted at baseline and 6 weeks to determine change in use of sleep aids for chronic insomnia during study participation
Time Frame
6 weeks
Title
Change in Quality of Life
Description
Quality of life will be measured through the use of a validated survey called Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Endocrine Symptoms
Time Frame
6 weeks
Title
Change in Fear of Cancer Recurrence
Description
