研究概览
简要总结
The study is comparing the difference between the use of Elequil Aromatabs versus standard of care practice treatments on Blood Marrow Transplantation patients.
详细描述
The primary objective is to examine whether there are differences in the level of anxiety and nausea between patients in the treatment and control groups.
The secondary objective is to compare the number of as needed (PRN) antiemetics and anxiolytics, as well as the duration of prolonged standardized antiemetic and anxiolytic regimen for the treatment and control cohorts.
The sample size of 200 patients is anticipated to be enrolled over a period of 1 year. A total of 50 patients will be enrolled in each of the four groups The enrollment procedure will begin with a screening of patients who are admitted within 24 hours of admission for blood and marrow transplantation conditioning to evaluate if they meet the inclusion criteria. Patients who meet inclusion criteria will be offered an opportunity to participate in the study.
The patient will complete an informed consent form, then assessed to identify their predominant symptom:anxiety or nausea. Based on the patients' primary symptom, they will be randomized into either control or treatment group for a total of four groups (nausea treatment, nausea control, anxiety treatment, and anxiety control). The study will be using a Wei's Urn algorithm for the randomization sequence. The randomization sequence and patient information will be stored in a protected SharePoint folder between the 8PE and 8PW nurses enrolled with the Institutional Review Board as study staff.
Patients enrolled in the nausea control/treatment group will be required to complete a Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-Item Scale (GAD-7) form to determine the baseline of anxiety.
