Brief summary

The purpose of the study is to collect data in a real-world environment, for a digital therapeutic that delivers CBT-I through a decentralized clinical trial, open to participants with chronic insomnia.

Detailed description

This is an open-access, open-label, decentralized clinical trial to collect real-world evidence for PEAR-003A, a digital therapeutic delivering CBT-I. Potential participants will answer an online prescreening questionnaire to determine eligibility. Qualifying participants will proceed to complete 6 weekly modules through their personal mobile phone or tablet in nine weeks. A series of the assessment and questionnaires will be administered at set points during the study. Participants will be asked to complete a follow-up module about 26 weeks, and at Days 243 (6-month), 428 (12-month), 610 (18-month) and 793 (24-month) after completing treatment. A subset of approximately 34 participants may be asked to partake in a optional user experience sub study. The participant will be asked to provide study feedback by either completing a five-day diary or an interview.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change in Insomnia Severity Index (ISI)From Baseline to Day 63 (End of Treatment) and Days 243, 428, 610, 793 (Follow-up)Change in the Insomnia Severity Index's (ISI) total score from Baseline to End of Treatment and Follow-up. The ISI's total score ranges from 0 (not clinically significant) to 28 (clinically significant)

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Evaluate PEAR-003A Engagement DataBaseline, Day 63, Day 243, Day 428, Day 610, Day 793Evaluate PEAR-003A engagement rates
Evaluate PEAR-003A Adherence DataBaseline, Day 63, Day 243, Day 428, Day 610, Day 793Evaluate PEAR-003A adherence rates
Examine change in depression symptomsBaseline, Day 63, Day 243, Day 428, Day 610, Day 793Change in the eight-item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-8) scores from Baseline to End of Treatment and Follow-up. The PHQ's total score ranges from 0 (not clinically significant) to 24 (clinically significant)
Examine change in anxiety symptomsBaseline, Day 63, Day 243, Day 428, Day 610, Day 793Change in the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7's (GAD-7) scores from Baseline to End of Treatment and Follow-up. The GAD-7's total score ranges from 0 (not clinically significant) to 21 (clinically significant)

Other

MeasureTime frameDescription
To determine if there is a change in daytime sleepinessBaseline, Day 63, Day 243, Day 428, Day 610, Day 793Change in Epworth Sleepiness Scale from baseline to end of treatment and follow-up. The ESS total score ranges from 0 (not clinically significant) to 24 (clinically significant)
To determine change in quality of lifeBaseline, Day 63, Day 243, Day 428, Day 610, Day 793Change in quality of life as measured in The Short Form 12 (SF-12). The SF-12 summary scores range from 0-100 with higher scores representing better self-reported health
Examine treatment responders' dataBaseline, Day 63, Day 243, Day 428, Day 610, Day 793Treatment responders are those whose ISI decreased by more than 7 points. Responders ISI score will be evaluated at the end of treatment and follow-up.
To evaluate potential changes in healthcare utilization and costs identified in claimsMatched periodChange in tokenized health claims from a specified period (up to 24 months) prior to intervention and a similar period after intervention
To determine change in work attendance and productivityBaseline, Day 63, Day 243, Day 428, Day 610, Day 793Change in presenteeism/absenteeism work questions based on a survey. Subject answers Yes/No questions of whether continuously employed during the time period. If not, they can enter number of days employed or missed. Survey also contains a question regarding rating of productivity in %.
Examine Insomnia RemissionDay 63, Day 243, Day 428, Day 610, Day 793Subjects in treatment remission are those whose ISI score is 8 or less. Subjects in treatment remission ISI scores will be evaluated at end of treatment and follow-up
