Can a tailored web portal help pancreatic cancer patients exercise and eat better during chemotherapy?
NCT ID NCT07651358
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This trial tests a web-based program called COMPASS that provides personalized exercise and nutrition advice, along with text messages, activity trackers, and coaching, for people with stage I-III pancreatic cancer receiving chemotherapy before surgery. The goal is to see if the program is practical and helpful for improving physical activity and diet during a challenging treatment period. The study enrolls 30 participants and measures how many join, stick with it, and follow the recommendations.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Web-based lifestyle program with tailored nutrition and physical activity recommendations, text messages, electronic trackers, and coaching
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this program could offer a practical way to help pancreatic cancer patients stay active and eat well during tough treatment, potentially improving their well-being.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early feasibility study with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The program may not lead to lasting behavior changes.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Age 18 years or older on date of enrollment * Confirmed by review of the date of birth as documented in the electronic medical record (EMR) and subsequently recorded in a case report form (CRF) * Diagnosed with stage I-III pancreatic cancer * Confirmed by EMR review. In cases where the EMR is unclear, their physician will be contacted and asked to confirm * Scheduled to receive neoadjuvant chemotherapy at Oregon Health \& Science University (OHSU) * Confirmed by EMR review. In cases where the EMR is unclear, their physician will be contacted and asked to confirm * Willing to adhere to the study protocol * Confirmed verbally with the participant and response documented in the Participant Tracking database Exclusion Criteria: * Cognitive difficulties that preclude answering the survey questions, participating in the intervention, or giving informed consent * In the event of a suspected undeclared cognitive impairment, it will be confirmed by physician clearance or professional opinion of the Principal Investigators, Dr. Kerri Winters-Stone and/or Dr. Jackilen Shannon * A medical condition, movement or neurological disorder, or medication use that contraindicates participation in light intensity exercise * Confirmed by a combination of reviewing the EMR, and self-report during the initial screening call. If in the professional opinion of the Principal Investigator, Dr. Kerri Winters-Stone or Dr. Jackilen Shannon, contraindications other than those identified by the patient or physician are present, she may consider the participant ineligible * Not fluent in English and therefore incapable of answer survey questions, reading the intervention web portal, and providing informed consent in English * Confirmed verbally with the participant and response documented in the Participant Tracking database
