NCT00423774 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
his study will evaluate a series of problem-solving education sessions for patients undergoing a stem cell transplant and their family caregivers. The emotional stress of transplant extends beyond patients to their families, especially caregivers. Little is known about managing the emotional distress associated with stem cell transplant or the support and education most helpful to caregivers of stem cell recipients. Patients undergoing a stem cell transplant and their family caregivers may be eligible for this study. All participants must be 18 years of age and older. Patients and their caregivers receive routine treatment-specific education from transplant team members. This study adds a series of educational sessions focusing on problem-solving skills. In addition to the study education, participants do the following: * Complete a 130-item questionnaire when they consent to participate in the study. * Complete a 60-item questionnaire and attend a 60-minute face-to-face education session before the transplant. * Complete a 40-item questionnaire and attend a 60-minute face-to-face education session before hospital discharge. * Complete the same 40-item questionnaire and attend a 60-minute face-to-face education session 2 weeks after hospital discharge. * Attend a 30-minute face-to-face education session 4 weeks after hospital discharge. * Complete a 60-item questionnaire 6 weeks after hospital discharge.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT00423774
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT00423774 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as Phase 1, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 20 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is National Institutes of Health Clinical Center (CC), which has 209 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 2 conditions, with Family Caregivers appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Problem-Solving Education is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT00423774 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Maryland. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
