NCT ID NCT05075759
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether personalized telehealth coaching can help young adult cancer survivors become more physically active and improve their diet. Researchers are enrolling 374 survivors aged 18-54 who are not very active. Participants receive one-on-one sessions with a clinician to set goals and track progress. The goal is to see if this support leads to lasting healthy habits.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Behavioral intervention (personalized telehealth coaching and self-management sessions)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that tailored lifestyle coaching helps cancer survivors become more active and improve their diet, potentially reducing long-term health risks.
- What could go wrong
- This is a behavioral study, not a drug trial. Results depend on participants' motivation and may not apply to everyone. The study is not testing a cure or treatment for cancer itself.
