Could a 30-Day habit shift help blood cancer patients regain control?
NCT ID NCT07674212
First seen Jun 29, 2026 · Last updated Jun 30, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a self-management program called Take5Care+ for adults recently diagnosed with slow-growing blood cancers. Participants choose a healthy habit—like better nutrition or more physical activity—and commit to it for 30 days. The goal is to see if this simple approach is feasible and helps patients feel more in control of their health and well-being.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Take5Care+ self-management program (healthy habit commitment for 30 days)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this program could give blood cancer patients a simple, low-cost way to improve their well-being and sense of control after diagnosis.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small feasibility study with only 20 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The program relies on personal motivation, and long-term benefits are not yet proven.

Inclusion Criteria: * 18 years or older. * Have been diagnosed within the last 3 months with one of the eligible conditions listed in Table 1. * Be managed with either: * Active monitoring, or * Non-intensive oral therapy, defined as outpatient oral regimens that do not require inpatient initiation and have lower expected toxicity (e.g., BTK inhibitors, TKIs, interferon, lenalidomide, hydroxycarbamide, low-dose alkylators). * Have ECOG Performance Status 0-2. * Be able to give informed consent. * Be judged suitable for participation by the treating clinician. Exclusion Criteria: * Receiving intensive chemotherapy, immunotherapy, IV combination regimens, cellular therapy, radiotherapy or treatments requiring inpatient initiation. * Received or expected to require regular blood product transfusions * Life expectancy \<12 months. * Acutely terminal illness. * ECOG ≥3. * Cognitive impairment that would prevent the patient from giving informed consent, or reliably completing the daily action and follow-up assessments * Pregnant or lactating. * Currently participating in a CTIMP or other behavioural research intervention. * Age \<18. * Unstable, uncontrolled, or severe comorbidities: * Uncontrolled heart failure, unstable angina, or MI \<3 months. * Stroke/TIA \<3 months. * Severe/unstable COPD or asthma with recent exacerbations. * Poorly controlled diabetes * Severe psychiatric illness interfering with participation. * Concurrent active malignancy requiring systemic therapy. * Any other condition that, in the investigator's judgement, would compromise safe participation.
