What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

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.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Summary

This study looks at whether offering nutritional counseling and exercise programs before and during radiation or chemoradiation is helpful for head and neck cancer patients. Researchers want to see if patients are willing to join and attend these sessions. The goal is to improve how support services are used during cancer care.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Referral to oncology nutritional counseling and exercise program
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that offering nutritional counseling and exercise before and during treatment is practical and helpful for head and neck cancer patients.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early feasibility study with only 60 participants. It focuses on whether patients will use the services, not on whether it improves health outcomes.

Aim 2 Inclusion Criteria: Implement prehabilitation prescription protocol and evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of the prehabilitation prescription protocol in a sample of HNC patients. 1. Age 18 to 80 years old 2. Patients with a diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma originating in the head and neck (oral cavity, oropharynx, hypopharynx, larynx, and nasopharynx). 3. Stage I-III or de novo Stage IV 4. Patients with a plan for radiation therapy (RT) / chemoradiation therapy (CRT) at SCCC\* - \*Patients who underwent surgery for the HNC are still eligible. 5. If this is a second primary squamous cell carcinoma originating in the head and neck, a patient is eligible if the last RT or CRT was completed more than 6 months ago. 6. Clearance for exercise by the medical team. 7. Patients who do not have their first treatment scheduled within 7 days at the time of recruitment. 8. An English or Spanish speaker. Aim 2 Exclusion Criteria: 1. A patient who cannot complete the baseline assessment and/or start prehabilitation by the initiation of RT/CRT. 2. Any contraindication for diet change or exercising as determined by a physician. 3. A patient who is not an English or Spanish speaker. 4.
