Study Overview
Brief Summary
Prostate cancer is the first cancer in men. The treatment of metastatic prostate cancer with chemotherapy is based on the intravenous administration of docetaxel chemotherapy. Symptoms of anticipatory nausea, linked to anxiety caused by the treatment, may occur. Hypnosis is already used to treat the anxiety of people with cancer and can help treat the symtoms of nausea and vomiting of women with breast cancer.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect of medical hypnosis in virtual reality on the anxiety of patients with metastatic prostate cancer receiving Docetaxel chemotherapy treatment in comparison with a control group.
Detailed Description
After verifying the patient's eligibility criteria and obtaining the signed informed consent form, the patient is randomized to the arm receiving hypnosis in virtual reality or to the control arm. The study ends after the 12 courses of docetaxel or premature termination of the study.

Arms & Interventions
HypnoVR Arm

Intervention: HYPNO VR® device (Device)
Control Arm
Patients receive the docetaxel infusions under standard conditions (no medical hypnosis in virtual reality intervention)
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Demonstrate a modification in anxiety after each infusion of Docetaxel in the HypnoVR arm compared to the control arm.
Time Frame: For up to 6 months, every 2 weeks (before and after the 12 infusions), starting on day of first infusion until day of the last twelfth infusion
Comparison of anxiety by the State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) score before and after each docetaxel infusion (i.e. 24 questionnaires) between the HypnoVR arm and the control arm. The score is a quantitative variable with values ranging from 20 to 80. The higher the score is, the more important the anxiety is.
Secondary Outcomes
- Test the hypothesis that medical hypnosis in virtual reality is accompanied by a decrease in nausea before and after the Docetaxel cures(For up to 6 months, every 2 weeks (before and after the 12 infusions), starting on day of first infusion until day of the last twelfth infusion)
- Test the hypothesis that medical hypnosis in virtual reality is accompanied by a decrease in vomiting before and after the Docetaxel cures(For up to 6 months, every 2 weeks (before and after the 12 infusions), starting on day of first infusion until day of the last twelfth infusion)
- Test the hypothesis that medical hypnosis in virtual reality is accompanied by an increase in the quality of life by the EQ-5D-3L questionnaire for the health state description part after the end of treatment(For up to 6 months, one assessment questionnaire on day of inclusion and one assessment questionnaire at the end of study visit (month 6))
- Test the hypothesis that medical hypnosis in virtual reality is accompanied by an increase in the quality of life by the EQ-5D-3L questionnaire for the health state evaluation part after the end of treatment(For up to 6 months, one assessment questionnaire on day of inclusion and one assessment questionnaire at the end of study visit (month 6))
- Test the hypothesis that medical hypnosis in virtual reality is accompanied by an increase in the quality of life by the FACT-P (Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Prostate) questionnaire after the end of treatment(For up to 6 months, one assessment questionnaire on day of inclusion and one assessment questionnaire at the end of study visit (month 6))
- Test the hypothesis that medical hypnosis in virtual reality is accompanied by a good patient satisfaction after each infusion of Docetaxel(For up to 6 months, every 2 weeks (after each infusion), starting on day of first infusion until day of the last twelfth infusion (month 6))
- Test the hypothesis that medical hypnosis in virtual reality is accompanied by a modification in the prescription of antiemetic treatments(For up to 6 months, every 2 weeks (before each infusion), starting on day of the first infusion until the day of the last twelfth infusion)
