Brief Summary

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

The proposed pilot study aims at determining the feasibility of a lifestyle intervention including adherence to a personalised dietary regimen combined with regular physical activity in patients newly diagnosed with prostate cancer under androgen deprivation therapy.

Detailed Description

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

Prostate cancer (PCa) is among the most frequent tumor types and is the second deadliest type of cancer in men.

PCa has a multifactorial aetiology; modifiable environmental factors, including diet and obesity, have been associated with prostate carcinogenesis. Furthermore, patients with PCa are treated with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), which has negative effects on the cardiovascular system and body composition, particularly on the fat and muscle mass, bone health and psychological wellbeing.

Data in the current literature suggests that a lifestyle intervention e.g. with targeted and supervised exercise therapy or a dietary intervention with a prudent dietary patternmay positively influence the quality of life and the course of the disease of patients under ADT. However, conclusive data is missing.

The proposed pilot study aims at determining the feasibility and the effect of a lifestyle intervention including adherence to a personalised dietary regimen combined with regular physical activity in patients newly diagnosed with PCa under ADT.

Arm treated with lifestyle intervention

Patients with prostate cancer will receive a lifestyle intervention on diet and physical activity.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Lifestyle intervention

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

12-week lifestyle intervention including adherence to a personalized balanced dietary regimen (low total fat, low saturated fat, high ω3 fatty acids, optimized protein content, low simple sugars) combined with regular physical activity (including physiotherapy sessions and self-training).
