NCT ID NCT01365169
First seen Jan 11, 2026 · Last updated May 18, 2026 · Updated 17 times
Summary
This study is testing whether wearing a fitness tracker (like a Fitbit) can give doctors a better picture of how active advanced cancer patients are. Researchers want to see if activity levels measured by the device match up with the doctor's usual assessment of a patient's physical function. About 590 people with various cancers will wear two activity monitors for a period of time. The goal is to learn if this simple technology can help predict survival and improve how doctors evaluate their patients.
