Not Always ROSY-Feasibility of Addressing Sexual Dysfunction in Women with Breast and Gynecologic Cancers with a Novel Mobile Application

The purpose of this study is to identify breast and gynecologic cancer patients with sexual dysfunction, to measure sexual dysfunction with the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) and to provide Patients with the opportunity during this six-month period to follow up with a healthcare provider to discuss the sexual dysfunction needs and to see if a medical intervention can be of aid.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Not yet recruiting

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.

Enrollment (Estimated)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patient with a current or historic diagnosis of breast cancer or gynecologic cancer (uterine ovarian, fallopian tube, peritoneal, cervical, vulva, or vaginal cancers)
  • Agree to participate in the study with completion of survey and use of ROSY mobile application

Exclusion Criteria:

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Supportive Care
  • Allocation: N/A
  • Interventional Model: Single Group Assignment
  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: Rosy app
Behavioral: Rosy app
Participants will be provided a six-month membership subscription to the mobile application ROSY. ROSY will recommend pathways for addressing issues through 1) coaching by board certified coaches or 2) joining a completely anonymous community with other people where they can share experiences and get help as new members of the community to overcome sexual health challenges .Users will work towards their health goals each day using tools from medical and mental health experts . Tools used include 1) virtual workshops and 2) coaching sessions which will provide the opportunity to a) Have an authentic and relatable conversation with an expert b) Explore new pathways to better health experience c) Improve their relationship with themselves, partner, and healthcare providers d) Learn fun ways to improve their everyday wellness e) Access live events from anywhere.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in sex related personal distress as assessed by the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI)
Time Frame: Baseline, 6 months
FSFI is a 19-item instrument that measures 6 domains of sexual function: Desire, Arousal, Lubrication, Orgasm, Satisfaction, and Pain. This uses a Likert-type scale, with scores ranging from 0 to 5, except for questions 1, 2, 13, and 16, which are scored from 1 to 5. The total score ranges from 2.0 to 36.0, with higher scores indicating better functioning.
Baseline, 6 months
Change in sexual dysfunction as assessed by the Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) questionnaire
Time Frame: Baseline, 6 months
score ranges from 0 to 10, higher score showing worse outcome
Baseline, 6 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in sex related personal distress as assessed by the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) in ethnic minority groups
Time Frame: end of study (6 months after baseline)
FSFI is a 19-item instrument that measures 6 domains of sexual function: Desire, Arousal, Lubrication, Orgasm, Satisfaction, and Pain. This uses a Likert-type scale, with scores ranging from 0 to 5, except for questions 1, 2, 13, and 16, which are scored from 1 to 5. The total score ranges from 2.0 to 36.0, with higher scores indicating better functioning.
end of study (6 months after baseline)
Change in sex related personal distress as assessed by the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) in sexual and gender minority groups
Time Frame: end of study (6 months after baseline)
FSFI is a 19-item instrument that measures 6 domains of sexual function: Desire, Arousal, Lubrication, Orgasm, Satisfaction, and Pain. This uses a Likert-type scale, with scores ranging from 0 to 5, except for questions 1, 2, 13, and 16, which are scored from 1 to 5. The total score ranges from 2.0 to 36.0, with higher scores indicating better functioning.
end of study (6 months after baseline)
Change in sex related personal distress as assessed by the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) in unpartnered women
Time Frame: end of study (6 months after baseline)
FSFI is a 19-item instrument that measures 6 domains of sexual function: Desire, Arousal, Lubrication, Orgasm, Satisfaction, and Pain. This uses a Likert-type scale, with scores ranging from 0 to 5, except for questions 1, 2, 13, and 16, which are scored from 1 to 5.
