Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This research study will test the efficacy of interactive, web-based interventions that improve diet, physical activity and weight management changes among early stage survivors of breast, prostate, colorectal, endometrial, renal, thyroid, and ovarian cancers, as well as multiple myeloma and non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. Overarching outcomes also include physical function and performance, muscle mass, quality of life, and health utilities.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

For this web-based behavioral intervention trial aimed at improving lifestyle behaviors of individuals at higher risk for cancer, other comorbidities and functional decline, 652 cancer survivors (a large proportion of whom will be age 65 or over, rural, and of minority status) will be enrolled and randomly assigned to one of the following study arms: 1) A diet and exercise intervention which would begin immediately, with the first 6 months focused on promoting healthful changes in diet consistent with the American Institute for Cancer Research Guidelines and designed to invoke an average weight loss of one pound per week, and the second 6 months focused on increasing physical activity. The 163 cancer survivors assigned to this arm would be evaluated at baseline, 6-, 12- and 18-months; 2) An exercise and diet intervention which would begin immediately, with the first 6 months focused on increasing physical activity, and the second 6 months focused on promoting healthful changes in diet consistent with the American Institute for Cancer Research Guidelines and designed to invoke an average weight loss of one pound per week. The 163 cancer survivors assigned to this arm would be evaluated at baseline, 6-, 12- and 18-months; and 3) A 12-month combined diet and exercise intervention focused on promoting healthful changes in diet consistent with the American Institute for Cancer Research Guidelines and designed to invoke an average weight loss of one pound per week, while at the same time promoting physical activity. The 326 cancer survivors assigned to this arm will be evaluated at baseline, 6-, 12-, and 18-months. Weight status, waist circumference, body composition, diet quality, physical activity, physical performance, quality of life, comorbidity, and health utilities will be measured at baseline and each follow-up time point, as will mediators of behavior change, e.g., social support, self-efficacy and barriers. Additionally, dried blood spots obtained from fingersticks will be analyzed for cytokines (IL-6 and hsCRP) and biomarkers of gluco- and lipid regulation, i.e., glucose, and blood lipids (TG) and insulin.

It is hypothesized that cancer survivors assigned to all three of these study arms will experience significant improvements in weight status, body composition, diet quality, physical activity, physical performance, and quality of life. These improvements also will translate into lower health utility scores and prove cost effective. It also is anticipated that analyses will uncover significant mediators, such as self-efficacy, and moderators, such as level of educational attainment associated with program efficacy. Finally, we hypothesize that while all study arms will experience significant benefit, the sequenced arm participants (arms 1 and 2) will have significantly greater odds of achieving improved diet quality, weight loss, and moderate intensity aerobic physical activity of at least 150 minutes a week as measured by accelerometer) post-intervention than survivors randomized to the simultaneous arm.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

Participants will participate in one of three arms:

1. Diet followed by Exercise intervention
2. Exercise followed by Diet intervention
3. Combined Diet and Exercise intervention
Primary Study Purpose

Blinding Strategy

TRIPLE

Caregivers Investigators Outcome Assessors
Single blinded trial in which the study participant and select individuals in the research team (i.e., interventionists) will be aware of randomization status, but the assessors and investigators will not.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Project 1: Diet-Exercise

Participants will receive and participate in web-based sessions that focus on diet for 6 months, followed by exercise for another 6 months. Participants will be encouraged to track their diet and weight for the first 6 months and to log their data in the intervention website, during the second 6 months they will be asked to log their physical activity data (minutes and step counts). Tailored feedback and goal recommendations will be provided through the website. Participants will also receive access to resources for relevant behavioral topics. All participants will be invited to participate in the secret Facebook group for the project (though participation is optional).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

AMPLIFI will provide participants with a secure website where they receive and participate in educational sessions tailored to their assigned topics for the intervention arm. The website will provide a resource library for static documents, tips of the day, tracking of health behaviors, and goal-setting.

Combined Diet and Exercise

Intervention Type OTHER

Project 2: Exercise-Diet

Participants will receive and participate in web-based sessions that focus on diet for 6 months, followed by exercise for another 6 months. Participants will be encouraged to track their diet and weight for the first 6 months and to log their data in the intervention website, during the second 6 months they will be asked to log their physical activity data (minutes and step counts).

Project 3: Combined Diet and Exercise

Participants will receive the diet and exercise content simultaneously in combined web-based sessions. Participants will receive and participate in web-based sessions that focus on diet and exercise for 12 months. Participants will be encouraged to track their diet, weight and physical activity data (minutes and step counts). Tailored feedback and goal recommendations will be provided through the website. Participants will also receive access to resources for relevant behavioral topics. All participants will be invited to participate in the secret Facebook group for the project (though participation is optional).
