Characterizing Sleep Among Long-term Survivors of Childhood Cancer

Study Purpose

The patients are being asked to take part in this clinical trial because they received cancer treatment as a child at St. Jude. The study comprehensively examines sleep among three distinct diagnostic groups of survivors in the SJLIFE cohort: ALL, CNS tumors, and non-CNS solid tumors. Primary Objective. The primary aim of this protocol is to estimate the prevalence of various sleep disorders among long-term survivors of childhood ALL, CNS tumors, and non- CNS solid tumors. Exploratory Objective. The exploratory objective of the study is to explore associations between the prevalence of sleep disorders and clinical outcomes collected in SJLIFE.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

No
Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT05480904
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Additional Details

A cross-sectional pilot study that will enroll participants for on-campus or remote study activities. The investigators anticipate a targeted evaluable accrual of 120, 40 within each of the three groups identified above. The plan is to employ remote polysomnography and surveys to assess patterns of sleep disorders. These assessments could be done in the homes of survivors or during campus visits.

Other: - Health Questionnaires, Sleep Surveys & Sleep Diary

The participant will be asked to complete the sleep surveys and sleep diary, FACIT fatigue, and CSALTS Pain Survey These questionnaires will take about 29 minutes to complete. The sleep diary is completed at the time the participant wears the sleep device.

Diagnostic Test: - Echocardiography/EKG

All echocardiograms will be performed using a General Electric VIVID-7. The LV volume, mass and EF will be calculated using the recommendations of the American Society of Echocardiography

Diagnostic Test: - Pulmonary Function

PFTs will include spirometry, lung volume measurements by body plethysmography and single breath carbon monoxide-diffusion capacity (DLCO).

Device: - Remote Polysomnography

The Sleep Profiler PSG2/WatchPat device will be used to assess nighttime sleep disorders.

Diagnostic Test: - Physical Function

This is a test of how your heart and lungs respond to exercise.
