{ "Support for Lung Cancer Patients Awaiting News", "This study is testing a stress management program for people with lung cancer who are waiting for their scan results. This program, called the Adapted Stress Management Program, aims to help you manage anxiety during this stressful time. The study will first test the program in a small group (Open Trial phase) to make improvements, and then in a slightly larger group (Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial phase) to see how well it works and if it's acceptable. You may also receive Enhanced Usual Care, which includes a resource list and study tablet. To join, you must be an adult (18 or older) with lung cancer, comfortable with English, and have an ECOG performance status of 0 to 2. The study will look at how many people stay in the study and how much they use the program to see if it's successful.", "design": "This is an interventional study with two phases: an Open Trial (10 participants) and a Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial (50 participants). Both phases are unblinded and single-site.", "commitments": "Participants will receive a 15-minute orientation session and use a study tablet for stress management exercises and assessments. The study will measure engagement at 1-week pre-scan, 1-week post-scan, and 3-months post-intervention.", "compensation": "Not stated in the trial record.", "follow_up": "Feasibility will be measured at 1-week post-scan and 3-month post-intervention.", }

What this trial measures
- Feasibility - Retention (open trial)1-week post-scan
Percentage of intervention arm participants who completed 2 out of 3 intervention sessions/calls.
- Feasibility - Retention (pilot RCT)3-month post-intervention
Percentage of intervention arm participants who completed 2 out of 3 coaching sessions/calls.
- Feasibility - Web module engagement (open trial)1-week pre-scan and 1-week post-scan
Percentage of intervention arm participants who completed at least 70% of the web modules.
- Feasibility - Web module engagement (pilot RCT)Post-intervention (approx 3 weeks after randomization) and 3-months post-intervention (approx 16 weeks after randomization)
Percentage of intervention arm participants who completed at least 70% of the web modules.
- Acceptability of Intervention - Overall (open trial)1-week Pre-scan, 1-week post-scan, and 1-month follow-up
Percentage of intervention arm participants with mean ratings ≥4 on the validated Acceptability of Intervention Measure (AIM). Higher scores indicate greater acceptability. Acceptability will be assessed via participant ratings (mean scores ranging from 1 to 5, with higher scores indicating better acceptability).
- Acceptability of Intervention - Overall (pilot RCT)post-intervention (approx 3 weeks after randomization) and 3-months post-intervention (approx 16 weeks after randomization)
Percentage of intervention arm participants with mean ratings ≥4 on the validated Acceptability of Intervention Measure (AIM). Higher scores indicate greater acceptability. Acceptability will be assessed via participant ratings (mean scores ranging from 1 to 5, with higher scores indicating better acceptability).
- Acceptability - Perceived helpfulness (open trial)1-week Pre-scan, 1-week post-scan, and 1-month follow-up
Percentage of intervention arm participants with ratings ≥4 on a 1-5 Likert item assessing perceived helpfulness of the intervention. Higher scores indicate greater perceived helpfulness.
- Acceptability - Perceived helpfulness (Pilot RCT)post-intervention (approx 3 weeks after randomization) and 3-months post-intervention (approx 16 weeks after randomization)
Percentage of intervention arm participants with ratings ≥4 on a 1-5 Likert item assessing perceived helpfulness of the intervention. Higher scores indicate greater perceived helpfulness.
- Acceptability - Usability (open trial)1-week Pre-scan, 1-week post-scan, and 1-month follow-up
Percentage of participants with ratings ≥4 on a 1-5 Likert item assessing usability of the intervention. Higher scores indicate greater usability.
- Acceptability - Usability (Pilot RCT)post-intervention (approx 3 weeks after randomization) and 3-months post-intervention (approx 16 weeks after randomization)
Percentage of participants with ratings ≥4 on a 1-5 Likert item assessing usability of the intervention. Higher scores indicate greater usability.
