Bright Light Therapy in Patients With Melanoma or Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) Who Are Receiving First-Line Immune Checkpoint Blockade (IIT BLT)
A Pilot Trial of Bright Light Therapy in Patients Receiving First Line Immune Checkpoint Blockade
This study is being done to test whether bright light therapy can be used to synchronize patients' circadian rhythms and allow ICB (immune-checkpoint blockade) therapy to be administered at a time in the circadian rhythm that optimizes clinical outcomes. This trial will test the feasibility of delivering bright light therapy (BLT) to patients undergoing ICB therapy.
This trial asks participants to spend 60 minutes every morning receiving daily bright light therapy for at least 7 days prior to starting Immune Checkpoint blockade-containing regimens (e.g. anti-PD-1 and/or anti-CTLA-4 alone or in combination with chemotherapy). The bright light therapy will be delivered via the Circadian OS iPad application.
There is evidence that a person's circadian rhythm can affect the response to immunotherapy. The circadian rhythm is a natural, internal process that regulates the sleep-wake cycle. Many patients with cancer have disrupted circadian rhythms and it's possible that disrupted circadian rhythms decrease the likelihood of responding to immunotherapy.
The idea is to use bright light therapy, delivered via the Circadian OS iPad application, for an hour in the morning to synchronize your circadian rhythm for a week before your planned immunotherapy. The investigators hope that this will increase the likelihood of a response to immunotherapy, however in this study, the investigators are mainly concerned with whether the bright light therapy is tolerable to patients.

详细说明
This is a pilot study evaluating the feasibility, safety, and biological effects of bright light therapy (BLT) delivered via the Circadian OS iPad application in patients with melanoma and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) receiving first-line immune checkpoint blockade (ICB)-containing regimens.
This is a single-arm feasibility study of adherence to 60 minutes of daily BLT for >7 days prior to ICB initiation. The investigators aims to enroll patients with measurable tumor burden who plan to receive first line ICB-containing regimens (e.g. anti-PD-1 and/or anti-CTLA-4 alone or in combination with chemotherapy).

实验性的:Single-arm: adherence to 60 mins of daily Bright Light Therapy for >7 days prior to ICB initiation
|
Bright light therapy (BLT) will be delivered via the Circadian OS iPad application in patients with melanoma and NSCLC receiving first-line ICB-containing regimens (e.g. anti-PD-1 and/or anti-CTLA-4 alone or in combination with chemotherapy). CS is a unit designed to model melatonin suppression in order to measure how effective a light source is at stimulating the body's circadian system, based on light intensity, duration, and angle of delivery. CS will be delivered through the Circadian OS application. 60 minutes of BLT for >7 days was chosen as an appropriate duration based on prior studies. With this stimulus, the goal is to entrain patients' circadian rhythm phase and amplitude to deliver ICB at peak immune function. |
