NCT ID NCT04215029
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a lifestyle program for African American men who have finished prostate cancer treatment and their spouses or partners. The goal is to see if the program can improve quality of life, diet, physical activity, and partner support. Only 6 participants were enrolled, so the main focus is on whether the program is practical and acceptable.
