New coaching program aims to boost health in hispanic cancer survivors
NCT ID NCT05364372
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jul 31, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests a 12-week coaching program for Hispanic cancer survivors and their caregivers. The program helps them set diet and exercise goals while managing symptoms like pain or fatigue. Researchers want to see if this leads to healthier eating and more physical activity, which could improve long-term health and lower cancer risk.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- coaching program (diet and physical activity goal-setting with symptom management)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a practical way to help Hispanic cancer survivors eat better, be more active, and feel better after treatment.
- What could go wrong
- This is a relatively small trial (187 people) testing a behavioral program, not a drug. Results may not apply to all survivors, and lasting behavior change is hard to maintain.
