What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
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 This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.

Summary

This study tests four different tools—coaching, education, text messages, and health coaching—to help cancer survivors improve their diet, physical activity, and weight. About 350 adults who have completed treatment for several cancer types will use these tools for up to 48 weeks. The goal is to see which combination works best to help survivors adopt healthier habits that may lead to longer disease-free survival.

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 (coaching, education, text messaging, health coaching)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a proven set of tools to help cancer survivors adopt healthier habits, potentially improving their long-term survival and quality of life.
What could go wrong
This is a behavioral study, not a drug trial, so results depend on participants' motivation and adherence. The benefits are uncertain and may not apply to all survivors.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: INCLUSION CRITERIA FOR CANCER SURVIVORS: 1. \>= 18 years of age. 2. Diagnosis of bladder, breast, colon, endometrial, kidney (renal cell carcinoma), ovarian, prostate, or rectal cancer. 3. Completed all cytotoxic chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapies, or radiation (if indicated) prior to enrollment. Hormonal treatments are allowed. 4. Owns a smart phone that has access to the Internet and can receive daily text messages. 5. Able to speak and read English or Spanish 6. Have a support person \>= 18 years of age who speaks English or Spanish and is willing to provide informed consent and support the participant throughout the study. 7. \>= 4 weeks since a major surgery to start of intervention (removal of port or catheter (cath) is not major surgery; reversal of ostomy is major surgery and will require at least 4 weeks prior to enrollment). 8. Readiness, as determined by the Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (PAR-Q). If there are any indications that home-based exercise might be unsafe based on PAR-Q, the patient will not be enrolled until confirmation from the patient's provider is received via email and/or phone that they are safe to exercise. Providers do not need to be contacted if patients answer 'yes' to 'Is your doctor currently prescribing any medication for your blood pressure or for a heart condition? INCLUSION CRITERIA FOR SUPPORT PERSONS: 1. Identified by a cancer survivor participant who has consented to participate in Tools To Be Fit as their support person. 2. 18 years of age or older. 3. Speaks and reads English or Spanish. 4. Consents to complete two online surveys and four 1-on-1 health coaching calls during the 48 week study. Exclusion Criteria: EXCLUSION CRITERIA FOR CANCER SURVIVORS: 1. People with potential contraindications to home-based exercise based on the PAR-Q for whom the investigator is unable to obtain physician clearance. 2. ACS guideline score of \> 4 out of 6 at enrollment based on self-reported diet, BMI, and physical activity. Our screening survey will ask participants to report their height and weight; usual intake of foods in the ACS guidelines (e.g., red and processed meat, fruits, vegetables, grains); and the Godin Leisure Time Exercise Survey. 3. Used a physical activity tracker and a diet tracking app for \>= 1 week in the past 3 months; these are components of our digital health tool kit. 4. Planned major surgery during the study period (removal of port or cath or dermatological procedures excluded) 5. Scheduled to receive any form of cancer therapy during the study period with the exception of hormonal treatments, which are allowed. 6. History of severe cardiovascular, respiratory or musculoskeletal disease or joint problems that preclude moderate physical activity. Examples include unstable angina, recent myocardial infarction, oxygen-dependent pulmonary disease, and osteoarthritis requiring imminent joint replacement. Moderate arthritis that does not preclude physical activity is not a reason for ineligibility. 7. History of psychiatric disorders that would preclude participation in the study intervention (e.g., untreated major depression or psychosis, substance abuse, severe personality disorder) or prevent the patient from giving informed consent. 8. Participating in another weight loss, physical activity or dietary intervention clinical trial. Co-enrollment in some trials involving pharmacologic therapy is allowed. Participants are also allowed to pursue weight loss and physical activity programs on their own, as long as these programs are not provided as part of a clinical trial. 9. Currently pregnant or trying to become pregnant during the study period. 10. Living outside the United States during screening and/or the 48-week study period. EXCLUSION CRITERIA FOR SUPPORT PERSONS: 1\. None.
