NCT ID NCT07535918
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 28, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether a smartphone app called the Cancer Exercise app (CEA) can help cancer survivors become more physically active. About 750 adults who have finished cancer treatment will either use the app for 12 weeks or receive usual care. The goal is to see if the app boosts moderate to vigorous activity levels.
