Trial Identification

Brief Title: Building a Renewed ImaGe After Head & Neck Cancer Treatment (BRIGHT) 2.0

Official Title: A Single-Site, Parallel-Group, Randomized-Controlled Pilot Trial Comparing BRIGHT With Active Control in Reducing Body Image Disturbance Among Head and Neck Cancer Survivors (BRIGHT 2.0)

Study ID: NCT03831100

Study Description

Brief Summary: Head and neck cancer (HNC) survivors with body image-related distress (BID) will be randomized to 5-weeks of tablet-based BRIGHT or tablet-based active control (AC; electronic information about HNC recovery). Participants will complete validated measures of BID and psychological, social, and emotional wellbeing to assess the preliminary clinical impact of BRIGHT on BID in HNC survivors. Participants will also complete validated measures of body image coping behavior to assess the role of image coping behavior as the behavioral mechanism of BRIGHT.

Detailed Description: Following screening and informed consent, eligible participants will complete baseline questionnaires measuring BID and psychological, social, and emotional wellbeing. Participants (n=44) will then be randomized 1:1 to BRIGHT or AC and undergo weekly, tablet-based BRIGHT or AC for 5 weeks. The BRIGHT intervention consists of 5 weekly, 60-minute, tablet-based, one-one telehealth sessions with a licensed therapist. The control intervention will be matched to replicate the frequency, intensity, and delivery method of BRIGHT. Participants in the AC arm will thus undergo 5 weekly, 60-minute, tablet-based video sessions in which they undergo non-manualized discussions with a non-trained member of the study team. Following randomization, patients in each arm will receive a study-issued, cellular-enabled iPad loaded with Vidyo, a video teleconference platform that allows the participant to connect to the study psychologist (BRIGHT) or AC. Vidyo allows face-face communication for tele-cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for HNC patients who can articulate well, but also includes a within-video text message feature for aphonic (due to surgical removal of the larynx) or severely dysarthric (due to surgical removal of a significant amount of the tongue) HNC patients who are unable to participate in tele-CBT by speaking. The study iPads are locked to prevent downloading of additional applications. Participants receive a pictorial instructional booklet for logging on to Vidyo. No user names, logins, or web addresses are necessary to connect to the BRIGHT session. The participant simply clicks on the Vidyo application which takes the participant to the assigned teleconference room. At the conclusion of the 5-week intervention, participants return iPads to the study team in pre-addressed, stamped, padded mailers that are provided to the patient.
