Brief Summary

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

The goal of this research study is to develop a nutrition algorithm to optimize nutritional status and improve quality of life during for participants who are completing or have completed cancer treatment.

The name of the intervention used in this research study is:

Nutrition Algorithm for Cancer Health Outcomes (NACHO) (a technology-based platform that houses the algorithms for the person-centered nutrition program)

Detailed Description

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

This is a longitudinal, mixed-methods, pilot descriptive study to develop a nutrition algorithm for cancer patients based on the Cancer Nutrition Consortium (CNC) study findings and refined through a dietitian panel participants and from feedback from participants and Family Advisory Council (PFAC) members.

Research study procedures include screening for eligibility, interviews and/or focus groups, dietitian panel meetings, and surveys.

Participation in this study is expected to last about 12 months.

It is expected about 130 people will participate in this research study.

Study Groups

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

Nutrition Algorithm (NACHO)

Study procedures will be conducted as follows:

* Development of nutrition algorithm by dietitian panel participants with oncology clinician consultation via convened group meetings.
* Refinement of draft algorithms through feedback from participants and Family Advisory Council (PFAC) members.
* Baseline questionnaires for participants.
* Semi-structured interviews and/or focus groups with participants to evaluate algorithm usability and acceptability.
* Participant questionnaires.
