This federal Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.395 - Cancer Treatment Research) provides funding to Duke University to conduct a randomized controlled trial testing the efficacy of a telehealth-delivered psychosocial intervention called ENGAGE. The $578,467 award aims to evaluate ENGAGE's ability to reduce symptom interference (e.g., pain, fatigue, distress) and improve quality of life in patients with stage IV cancer residing in medically underserved areas. The 5-year project, running from August 2024 to July 2029, will randomize 190 patients to receive either the ENGAGE intervention or standard supportive care. Key outcome measures include symptom interference, self-efficacy, acceptance, mindfulness, values-based activity, symptom severity, and quality of life. An exploratory aim will also gather insights to inform future implementation efforts. This study builds upon promising pilot results and seeks to rigorously test the efficacy of an acceptance and commitment therapy-based approach to psychosocial symptom management for advanced cancer patients.
