Study Summary

This trial will compare a mindfulness-based insomnia treatment to sleep education in people undergoing stem cell transplants for multiple myeloma.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults over 18 with multiple myeloma who haven't had a relapse or progression before hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT), can attend outpatient sessions, and are okay with surveys and blood draws. They must have started anti-myeloma therapy within the last year, be physically well enough to undergo a specific chemo regimen, and have an adequate stem cell graft. Those with prior HCTs, outpatient HCTs, amyloidosis, or known sleep apnea cannot join.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study compares Mindfulness Awareness Practices for Insomnia (MAP-I) against sleep health education in patients undergoing autologous HCT for multiple myeloma. It's randomized: participants don't choose which group they're in but are assigned by chance to either learn mindfulness techniques aimed at improving sleep or receive educational information about good sleep practices.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Potential side effects from MAP-I may include temporary discomfort like anxiety during practice or frustration if immediate improvements in sleep aren't seen. Sleep health education should not cause any direct side effects.

Group I: Mindfulness Awareness Practices for InsomniaExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Participants will be instructed to practice mindfulness techniques on a daily basis, beginning with 5 minutes and increasing to 20 minutes over the course of the 6-week intervention - as is standard with the Mindfulness Awareness Practices (MAPs) course - with practice prior to bedtime. An intervention training manual is the cornerstone of standardized delivery of MAP-I. Participants are also provided with a book on mindfulness (Fully Present: The Science, Art, and Practice of Mindfulness, authored by the Mindfulness Awareness Research Center (MARC) leader and MAP-I instructor Diana Winston) as well as access to the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) Mindful App courtesy of the MARC at UCLA (via personal iPhone or study-administered tablets per patient preference), which contains pre-recorded guided meditations for use in daily practice.

Group II: Sleep Health EducationActive Control1 Intervention

Six individual 1-hour videos will be shown to participants at the same time points as, and with equal duration to, the MAP-I intervention. These videos will be recorded presentations that have been modified for HCT recipients based upon similar SHE interventions delivered in prior studies. Similar to the intervention group, patients in the SHE group will also participate in group Zoom chat sessions with equal frequency and duration lead by a study research coordinator. These sessions will allow for general patient interaction to discuss sleep and any questions or comments they may have, as lead by the group facilitator.
