New app-based trial aims to shrink waistlines in endometrial cancer survivors
NCT ID NCT06038032
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a 24-week digital wellness platform, combined with one-on-one online sessions with a dietitian, exercise pro, and therapist, can help endometrial cancer survivors lose inches around their waist and improve their health. About 148 survivors who are overweight and finished cancer treatment will participate. The main goal is to see if waist circumference shrinks after 16 weeks.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- digital wellness platform with online support from a dietitian, exercise professional, and mental health therapist
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a practical, home-based program to help endometrial cancer survivors improve their waistline and overall health after treatment.
- What could go wrong
- This is a relatively small, early-stage trial (148 people) testing a behavioral intervention, not a drug. Results may not apply to all survivors, and sticking with the program for 24 weeks may be challenging.
