The Computerized Retraining and Functional Treatment - Group Intervention (CRAFT-G)
2026년 5월 11일 업데이트: Hadassah Medical Organization
The Computerized Retraining and Functional Treatment: Effectiveness-implementation Hybrid Trial of Group Teleintervention Among Breast Cancer Survivors With Cognitive Impairment
The goal of this clinical trial is to examine the efficacy of a novel, remotely-applied group intervention, Cognitive Retraining and Functional Treatment Group (CRAFT-G), designed to improve cognitive function, mental health and functional outcome in breast cancer survivors (BCS) with Cancer-Related Cognitive Impairment (CRCI) while simultaneously collecting data on the barriers and facilitators of implementation in clinical settings. The main question it aims to answer is:
We hypothesize that participants receiving CRAFT-G will show gains in mental health, cognitive and daily function, and that the CRAFT-G benefits will endure for three months following treatment completion.
Participants assigned to the waitlist control will crossover to the CRAFT-G intervention group after 6 weeks.
Participants will ask to complete CRAFT-G intervention, which include:
- Six remote group sessions (1.5hr each)
- Between the sessions, participants will be guided to complete CRCI-specific computerized cognitive training (CCT) 3 times per week delivered using dedicated app.
- Psychoeducation materials Assessment will take place in 3 time points: before intervention (frontal meeting for baseline assessment), post intervetion and 3 months post intervention.
The study will be conducted to explore implementation barriers and facilitators. This will be done by endline qualitative interviews with the participants' research group.
연구 개요
상세 설명
Breast cancer survivors are at risk of cancer-related cognitive impairment (CRCI), impacting their daily lives and well-being currently without satisfactory solutions.
In our previous research, we developed Cognitive Retraining and Functional Treatment (CRAFT), combining computerized cognitive training with personalized approach which target daily functioning.
We confirmed CRAFT's feasibility and effectiveness for CRCI through a large control trial, improving perceived cognition, cognitive performance, and daily life participation.
Mental health challenges and limited access to rehabilitation programs further complicate post-breast cancer care.
To address these issues, we propose a telemedicine approach that combines individualized CRAFT with group therapy (CRAFT-G) providing patients with peer-support, interpersonal learning, socialization, and normalization of their experience.
CRAFT-G includes six remote group sessions led by an occupational therapist, focusing on goal setting and plan development.
The content of the meetings will be adapted from the cognitive orientation to occupational performance (CO-OP) approach accompanied with relevant psychoeducation materials.
In addition, participants engage in weekly cognitive training using dedicated app.
Following a successful pilot study, we propose a two-step trial: the first step involves testing treatment efficacy and endurance in 48 patients (4 groups, n=24 control group), while the second step involves qualitative interviews with participants to identify barriers and facilitators to clinical implementation.
The use of a novel, remotely applied group format intervention further extends the reach of care from the clinical setting to the home setting, providing a feasible and cost-effective treatment option that helps bridge the current therapeutic gaps for BCS experiencing CRCI.
Our study aligns with cancer care recommendations by examining intervention effectiveness and implementation strategies and suggest a pragmatic intervention ready to be in real-world setting.

Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Cognition (FACT COG)
기간: At baseline assessment and will be repeated post-intervention at week 6, and at follow-up (week 12).
|
A self-report questionnaire for cancer patients capturing subjective experiences of cognitive decline.
The participants are asked to rate the items on a five-level scale ranging from 0="never" or "not at all" to 4="several times a day" or "very much;" higher scores represent better perceived cognitive function and QoL.
Minimal clinically important difference (MCID) for the FACT-Cog was found to range from +4.7% to +7.2% for improvement (Liang et al., 2019), and -6.9 to -10.6 points for reduction.

Goal Specific Hope Scale (GSHS)
기간: At baseline assessment and will be repeated post-intervention at week 6, and at follow-up (week 12).
|
The questionnaire iis used to measure hope for the goals set on COPM. .
The GSHS contains 6 items divided equally into agency and pathways subscales.
Respondents rate each item on a scale ranging from 1 (definitely false) to 8 (definitely true).
An example agency item is, ''I energetically pursue this goal,'' and an example pathways item is, ''I can think of many ways to achieve this goal.''
Scores can range from 3 to 24 for the agency and pathways subscales and from 6 to 48 for total hope.

The cancer-related loneliness assessment tool (C-LAT)
기간: At baseline assessment and will be repeated post-intervention at week 6, and at follow-up (week 12).
|
The tool identifies and assess the qualities of cancer-related loneliness in adult cancer survivors who have completed treatment.
Qualities that will be identified, their level of emotional distress it causes for the individual will be assessed.
As loneliness is not a clinical condition for which specific diagnostic symptoms and cut-offs exist.
For the study's purpose, we generated a score from 0 to 60, to indicate the severity of qualities' emotional distress level.
A higher score indicates a severer emotional distress.
