What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study tested whether providing grocery delivery (via Instacart) and weekly nutrition coaching calls helps cancer survivors who struggle to afford healthy food. Forty survivors who had finished active cancer treatment took part. The goal was to see if this support was practical and well-received, not to measure health changes. Results showed the program was feasible and acceptable to participants.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
grocery delivery service (Instacart) and nutrition navigation phone calls
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could offer a practical way to help cancer survivors access healthy food and follow nutrition guidelines.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed feasibility study with only 40 participants. It does not measure long-term health outcomes, so broader benefits are uncertain.
