The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health, part of the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health, awarded Northwestern University $597,375 on August 17, 2026, under the Research and Training in Complementary and Integrative Health program (CFDA 93.213) to conduct a multi-site feasibility trial of an embedded mindfulness-based intervention delivered during radiation therapy for prostate cancer. The study, titled SUPPORT-PC (Supporting Utilization and Participation in Palliative Offerings During Radiation Therapy for Prostate Cancer), evaluates a four-week daily audio-based mindfulness intervention embedded within radiation therapy sessions, designed to address symptom burden including fatigue, sleep disturbance, pain, anxiety, depression, and urological dysfunction without imposing additional access barriers on patients. The three-site trial will assess recruitment, retention, intervention fidelity, patient adherence, and acceptability using a hybrid dual implementation framework combining the RE-AIM framework for quantitative evaluation and the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research to explore contextual barriers and facilitators qualitatively. The award will support intervention refinement for generalizability, including site-specific adaptations for Spanish-speaking participants. Work is performed at Northwestern University in Chicago, Illinois, with a period of performance through July 31, 2029. The project advances preparation for a future large-scale efficacy trial by building on a prior single-site pilot that demonstrated feasibility and acceptability of the embedded approach.
