Can an iPad program help older cancer patients stay strong?
NCT ID NCT07011862
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether an 8-week digital program called COBRA, which includes balance and resistance exercises, is safe and practical for older adults with cancer. The program is delivered via an iPad with video calls. Researchers will track how many participants stick with the program to see if it's feasible for this group.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
digital health promotion program (COBRA) with balance and resistance activities
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a safe, home-based exercise program to help older adults with cancer maintain strength and balance.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early feasibility study with only 38 participants, so results may not apply to all older cancer patients. The program is digital, which may limit access for some.
