Run by Scripps Health · NCT06590285 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing whether an educational program about sleep can help adults getting a bone marrow transplant feel better compared to just the usual care they receive.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 or older who are planning to undergo alloHSCT and have access to a digital device for the study app.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who have failed a prior alloHSCT within the past 6 months may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This study investigates the effectiveness and safety of an educational sleep intervention compared to standard care for adults undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT). It involves randomizing eligible patients to receive either the app-based educational intervention or standard care. The study aims to enhance patient outcomes by providing tailored educational resources to improve sleep quality during the transplant process. Screening and randomization will occur in the patient's home environment to facilitate participation.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly improve the quality of life and recovery outcomes for patients undergoing bone marrow transplantation.
How similar studies have gone: While the specific educational sleep intervention is novel, similar studies have shown that educational approaches can improve patient outcomes in transplant settings.
