SMART Study Intervention

Alexi A Wright, MD MPH

This research study is evaluating a new smartphone application named the "Helping Our Patients Excel (HOPE)" app with a Fitbit device. The SMART Study is a sub-study of the HOPE Trial. Both studies evaluate an almost identical intervention using a Fitbit device and smartphone app(s) with the goal of improving quality-of-life for women with gynecologic cancers.

The HOPE Trial:

The first goal of this study is to adapt and refine an existing smartphone app, paired with a wearable accelerometer, to assess patients' symptoms in a population of patients with gynecologic cancers receiving palliative chemotherapy. An existing app will be customized to collect patient-reported toxicities using the Patient-Reported Outcome (PRO) version of the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (PRO-CTCAE) and offer patients feedback about how to manage their symptoms. Patient symptoms will be risk-stratified. Patients with low-risk toxicities (grades 1 \& 2) will receive tailored educational information, while patients with serious toxicities (grades 3 \& 4) will receive alerts to call their clinician. In the first phase of the study, we will conduct an initial assessment of the app with a diverse group of 10 patients to refine the app and test two different wearable accelerometers (i.e. Fitbit Zip and Fitbit Charge 2) before pilot testing.

The second goal of this study is to conduct a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) of the smartphone app and/or wearable accelerometer (i.e. Fitbit Zip or Fitbit Charge 2) to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of our intervention. During the second phase of the study, we will conduct a 4-arm pilot RCT in 100 patients with gynecologic cancers receiving palliative chemotherapy to establish preliminary effect sizes. Participants will be randomized to: 1) Fitbit+active app, 2) Fitbit+passive app, 3) Active app, or 4) Passive app.

We expect that the results of this pilot RCT, which is supported by the National Cancer Institute, National Palliative Care Research Center, and the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute Department of Medical Oncology, will provide a low-cost, scalable system to assess patients' symptoms, address low-risk toxicities, and alert clinicians when patients have toxicities that require intervention with the goal of reducing patient suffering and the use of high-intensity, hospital-based health care.

The SMART Study:

The overall goals of this study are to test the combination of two smartphone research platforms and a wearable accelerometer for use in NCI Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP) sites to improve cancer patients' quality of life and symptom management. The SMART Study (Symptom Management and Reporting Toxicities) has a single-arm research design and aims to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and perceived efficacy of a wearable accelerometer and two smartphone apps in 30 patients receiving chemotherapy to treat recurrent gynecologic cancers.

The HOPE Trial and the SMART Study

The HOPE Trial: Helping Our Patients Excel, and The SMART Study: Symptom Management and Reporting

This outcome was limited to the HOPE pre-pilot, consisting of 10 patients. This open pilot aimed to identify patient preference of Fitbit Zip or Fitbit Charge 2 and whether this study was burdensome. This outcome informed appropriate study procedures before launching to a larger study with four arms across multiple sites.

Feasibility defined as (1) greater than or equal to 60% enrollment rate among eligible patients approached, (2) greater than or equal to 70% adherence to daily smartphone surveys, (3) greater than or equal to 80% adherence to Fitbits at least 4 days per week. Acceptability defined as responses to 3 questions: (1) "Participating in this study placed a substantial burden on me." (2) "I wish I had not agreed to participate in this study." and (3) "I would recommend the application to a friend going through treatment."

This outcome is participant preference of the Fitbit Zip vs. Fitbit Charge in the HOPE Pre-Pilot study.

SMART Study: Participants received the Fitbit Charge 2 and access to the smartphone app. The app presented tailored advice if one or more low-risk symptoms were reported and prompted the patient to call their clinician for high-risk symptoms.

Feasibility will be defined as greater than or equal to 50% 3-month adherence rates to both smartphone apps and the wearable accelerometer.

SMART Study: Participants received the Fitbit Charge 2 and access to the smartphone app. The app presented tailored advice if one or more low-risk symptoms were reported and prompted the patient to call their clinician for high-risk symptoms.
