Can a tailored exercise and diet plan beat cancer fatigue?
NCT ID NCT06860880
First seen Jul 01, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a personalized program combining exercise and nutrition advice to help reduce fatigue in people with indolent (slow-growing) lymphomas, such as chronic lymphocytic leukemia and follicular lymphoma. Participants receive an individualized exercise plan and dietary consultations. The goal is to see if this supportive care approach is practical and acceptable for patients.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- personalized exercise and nutrition program
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this program could offer a practical, non-drug way to manage cancer-related fatigue and improve daily life for lymphoma patients.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study (40 people) focused on feasibility, not proof of effectiveness. Results may not apply to all patients or settings.

In order to participate in this study a subject must meet all of the eligibility criteria outlined below. Inclusion Criteria: * Written informed consent was obtained to participate in the study and HIPAA authorization for the release of personal health information. * Subjects are willing and able to comply with study procedures based on the judgment of the investigator. * Age ≥ 18 years at the time of consent. * Confirmed diagnosis of indolent lymphoma, Waldenström's Macroglobulinemia, or Cutaneous T Cell Lymphoma. * Significant symptoms of fatigue, as defined by PROMIS Fatigue score \>50. Exclusion Criteria: * Other co-existing malignancies. * Significant cognitive impairment as defined by Mini-Cog score 0-2 (out of 5) that would prevent understanding of assessments or interventions. * Unstable or serious illness (e.g., unstable cardiac arrhythmia, severe anemia/thrombocytopenia) that would prevent safe participation in an exercise regimen, per the discretion of the treating physician. * Individuals who are not able to consume an oral diet, due to swallowing difficulties or other reasons, as this might interfere with the nutritional intervention
