NCT ID NCT06565260
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jul 30, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study tests whether a supervised 12-week exercise and nutrition program in a community setting is practical and helpful for cancer survivors. About 150 participants, including survivors and their caregivers, will wear activity trackers, attend exercise sessions, and receive nutrition education. The goal is to see if the program improves their confidence, quality of life, and physical fitness.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- exercise and nutrition education program
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this program could offer a practical way for cancer survivors to boost their physical fitness and emotional well-being after treatment.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early feasibility study with no control group, so results may not prove the program works better than standard care. Participation requires commitment to 12 weeks of activities.
