NCT03501134
Brief Summary:
This purpose of this study is to describe the effect of Tumor Treating Fields (NovoTTF) on quality of life (QOL), including exercise, sleep quality, and mood, in patients with World Health Organization (WHO) Grade IV malignant glioma who have been prescribed and approved to receive Optune™. This is an observational, longitudinal study, meaning that information about QOL will be collected over time while the patient is using the NovoTTF device (for example, Optune™).
Detailed Description:
Patients will be provided with a Fitbit Charge HR™, which they will begin wearing immediately to collect baseline information. The study team will teach the patients how to use the Fitbit and the associated smart phone application. Patients will also set an account with a platform that will provide information from the Fitbit (number of steps, sleep behaviors, and exercise log) to the study team. Patients will also have blood drawn, do a 6-minute walk test, and complete questionnaires at clinic visits 1, 8, 16, and 24 weeks after receiving the Fitbit. At the end of the study, patients will return the Fitbit to the study team.
