This trial is testing a program called FOCUS that helps people with advanced cancer manage difficult symptoms like sleep problems, fatigue, worry, and depression. You would use a smartphone app with four learning modules (each taking about 1.5 hours) spread over 6 weeks, plus have brief weekly video calls with a psychologist to answer your questions and support your progress. The program uses proven psychological techniques to help you feel better and improve your quality of life.
Many people with advanced cancer struggle with a cluster of symptoms—sleep loss, fatigue, anxiety, and depression—that seriously affect their daily life. Most treatments for these symptoms rely on medications, which may not work for everyone or may have side effects. This trial tests whether an accessible online program could offer a helpful alternative, especially for people in rural areas who may have difficulty reaching mental health specialists.
If you are in the treatment group, you would use the FOCUS app for about 6 hours total over 6 weeks (spread across four learning modules on sleep, worry, fatigue, and mood), plus do home practice activities using skills you learn. Each week, you would have a 15–20 minute video call with a clinical psychologist to discuss how the skills are working and answer your questions. You would also be asked to provide blood samples and complete brief questionnaires to help researchers understand how the program affects your symptoms and body.
