About this study
Official title: Music Video for AYA-Parent Communication and Resilience
This randomized trial studies how well music therapy and parents' education work in improving communication, emotional distress, and recovery in adolescents/young adult patients undergoing treatment for high-risk cancer and their parents. Making a music therapy video may improve communication, emotional distress, and recovery in younger patients undergoing treatment for cancer. It is not yet known whether music therapy and counseling for parents is more effective than information handouts for parents in improving communication and emotional distress in patients undergoing treatment for cancer.
Read the detailed description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
- Compare the efficacy of a Therapeutic Music Video (TMV) intervention with a Therapeutic Music Video plus Parent (TMV+P) intervention on outcomes for adolescents/young adults (AYA) undergoing treatment for high-risk cancer.
II. Compare the efficacy of a TMV intervention with a TMV+P intervention on outcomes for parents of AYA with high-risk cancer.
III. Determine relationships of parent distress and parent perceived family environment with AYA outcomes using a mixed methods approach. (exploratory)
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to age in years (11-13 vs 14-17 vs 18-24). Parents are randomized to 1 of 2 intervention arms.
ARM I (TMV, low-dose parent): AYA patients undergo 60-minute sessions, delivered in a private setting during outpatient clinic visits or hospitalizations, within a 6-8 weeks period with board-certified music therapists. The music therapists help patients in brainstorming and lyric writing, singing and creatively exploring how AYA lyrics and structure of the selected music fit together, recording their song with a digital accompaniment track, completing video layout worksheets (determining the contents of the video), taking and gathering photos or making drawings for the video, and viewing clip art and pictures on a computer. The music therapist then digitally formats, compiles, and transfers the AYA-developed music video to a DVD. When completed, the therapist shares the video with the AYA and offers the option of having a video "premiere." AYAs who choose a premiere select a date and time for the viewing and identify individuals they wish to attend (family, friends, healthcare professionals). After the viewing, AYAs receive a copy of their DVD to keep. Parents' presence and involvement during all sessions are directed by the AYAs. Parents receive 2 sessions over 15-60 minutes with a trained study team. During the first session, parents receive handouts of helpful website resources that have specific information to help parents support their AYAs. Team members also assure that parents know how to assess the sites. During the second session, parents receive audio-recorded, telephone-based contact by a trained nurse who asks them questions focusing on the content available on the provided website. The trained nurse also answers any questions parents may have.
ARM II (AYA TMV +P): AYA patients receive intervention as patients in arm I. Parents receive 3 tailored 60-minute sessions with a trained nurse intervener. Sessions are recorded to make sure study nurse delivers the sessions according to the study protocol. Study nurse provides support information to parents using the Robb's Contextual Support Model, including Managing the Chaos: Self Care as the First Step to Caring for Your AYA, Relationship Support: How to Listen to and Encourage Your AYA to Talk; and Strategies for AYA Autonomy Support: Understanding AYA's Ways of Coping. Session 3 content is also based on the Resilience in Illness model. Sessions are also tailored to parents' needs, skills practice and/or role playing, and reflection on and reinforcement of learning. Parents receive written materials on tips and prescribed skills practice plans. AYA and parents complete questionnaires including Illness-Related Distress, Defensive Coping, Spiritual Perspective, Social Integration, Family Environment questionnaires, Hope-Derived Meaning, Self-Transcendence, Positive Coping, Resilience, Parent Distress, and Quality of Life at baseline, at 2 weeks after final session, and then at 90 days after final intervention session. Medical background, intensity of treatment rating scale, and family demographics are also collected.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Caregiver-Related Intervention or Procedure, Music Therapy and Quality-of-Life Assessment in people with Malignant Neoplasm, run by Children's Oncology Group at 8 sites in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Oct 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 8 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
AYA illness-related distress measured by the Mishel Uncertainty in Illness Scale and the McCorkle Symptom Distress scale (time frame: Up to 90 days). The study lists 17 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 10 Oct 2023; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
