Trial summary

This phase I pilot trial studies how well video distraction works to decrease the use of sedation in pediatric participants during radiation therapy. Radiation treatment requires participants to lie very still (for accuracy). Many children cannot do this without sedation. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: VidRT: Video Distraction During Radiation Therapy to Decrease Use of Pediatric Sedation

This phase I pilot trial studies how well video distraction works to decrease the use of sedation in pediatric participants during radiation therapy. Radiation treatment requires participants to lie very still (for accuracy). Many children cannot do this without sedation. Watching movies during radiation may distract children so they don't need sedation to complete treatment.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

  1. To determine if the use of video distraction during radiation therapy (VidRT) during radiation for patients ages 3 to 13 decreases the rate of sedation use compared to patients previously treated without VidRT.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:

  1. To determine which variables are associated with decreased need for sedation use. Variables will include patient age, length of treatment time (number of treatments and beam-on time), oncologic diagnosis, use of immobilization devices, pre-existing developmental or psychiatric diagnoses (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder [ADHD], dissociative disorders [DD], anxiety, depression, developmental delay, learning disability), pain scale ratings at time of first radiation treatment (0-10).

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine the impact of VidRT on patient-reported quality of life prior to starting, during, and at the end of treatment using the pediatric quality of life inventory surveys including the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) - 4.0 Core and Peds QL- 3.0 brain tumor questionnaires.

II. To determine the impact of VidRT on patient-reported anxiety throughout radiation treatment as monitored by Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) pediatric item bank version (v) 2.0 anxiety questionnaire.

III. To determine if workup assessment category for patient being low, medium, or high risk of needing sedation correlates to actual sedation use.

OUTLINE:

Participants undergo daily radiation therapy and watch videos/movies of their choice during treatments.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Rate of sedation use calculated using number of treatment sessions

    A 1-sided binomial test will be used.

    Measured: Up to 1 year

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Patient age and association with decreased sedation use

    A multivariate analysis will be used to determine which variables correlate with increased sedation use.

    Measured: Up to 1 year

  2. Number of treatments and association with decreased sedation use

    A multivariate analysis will be used to determine which variables correlate with increased sedation use.

    Measured: Up to 1 year

  3. Beam "on-time" and association with decreased sedation use

    A multivariate analysis will be used to determine which variables correlate with increased sedation use

    Measured: Up to 1 year

  4. Oncologic diagnosis and association with decreased sedation use

    A multivariate analysis will be used to determine which variables correlate with increased sedation use.

    Measured: Up to 1 year

  5. Use of immobilization device and association with decreased sedation use

    A multivariate analysis will be used to determine which variables correlate with increased sedation use.

    Measured: Up to 1 year

  6. Pre-existing developmental delay or psychiatric diagnosis and association with decreased sedation use

    A multivariate analysis will be used to determine which variables correlate with increased sedation use.

    Measured: Up to 1 year

  7. Pain at time of first radiation treatment and association with decreased sedation use (on a scale of one to ten)

    A multivariate analysis will be used to determine which variables correlate with increased sedation use.

    Measured: Up to 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Quality-of-Life Assessment, Questionnaire Administration and Radiation Therapy in people with Malignant Neoplasm, run by OHSU Knight Cancer Institute at 1 site 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 2 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 4 May 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Rate of sedation use calculated using number of treatment sessions (time frame: Up to 1 year). 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 4 May 2020.
