About this study

Official title: Intervention Development for Anxiety in Metastatic NSCLC Patients and Their Caregivers

This pilot clinical trial studies cognitive behavioral therapy in treating anxiety in patients with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer and their caregivers. Cognitive behavioral therapy may reduce anxiety and improve the well-being and quality of life of patients who have stage IV non-small cell lung cancer and their caregivers.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To identify, through both quantitative and qualitative methods, clinical correlates of anxiety and points of intervention to reduce anxiety in patients with late-stage lung cancer and their primary caregivers.

II. To apply these findings to develop a brief dyadic intervention based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to reduce anxiety in late-stage lung cancer patients and their primary caregivers.

III. To evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of the pilot intervention through number of completed visits and assessment pre- and post- intervention.

OUTLINE:

Participants undergo cognitive behavioral therapy over 1 hour once weekly for a total of 6 sessions. Sessions are tailored to patient and caregiver cognitions and approach and avoidance behaviors.

After completion of study treatment, participants are followed up at 1 week.
