Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this research study is to determine whether using the physical activity index screener, exercise coaching, and self-monitoring will increase physical activity and reduce time spent sitting or being inactive in patients who had breast or colon cancer.

Detailed Description

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

To assess the feasibility (participation rate, adherence, and retention) of the Physical Activity Index (PAI) intervention in breast and colon cancer survivors supported by exercise coaching and self-monitoring tools.

Study Groups

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

Exercise Group

Participants randomized into the exercise group will receive a pre-exercise screening call about two weeks after enrolling into the study and complete the six (6) study visits and pre-determined test and procedures for the patient intervention arm.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Research-grade accelerometer

Intervention Type DEVICE

Participants will be instructed to wear device for 7 days prior to each visit and to bring the device to each visit. Study staff will extract data from the device within 14 days after each appointment and return the device to patients by mail.

National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) Education Materials

Intervention Type OTHER

The NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN GuidelinesĀ®) are comprised of recommendations for the prevention, diagnosis, and management of malignancies across the continuum of care.

Garmin Vivofit activity tracker

Intervention Type DEVICE

This device can automatically capture and classify different physical activities such as walking, running, biking, swimming and using an elliptical.

Exercise Consultation Calls

Intervention Type OTHER

The intervention group will receive five monthly exercise consultation calls with an exercise coach in between clinical visits and be provided with an exercise log for their personal use

Interview

Intervention Type OTHER

The interviews will be conducted by a trained Q-PRO interviewer and audio recorded. Interviews are expected to last approximately 30 minutes. Discussion will include acceptability of the PAI intervention, related tools, and clinical experiences and will help shape/inform refinements need for a larger efficacy trial

Physical Activity Index Assessment (Intervention Arm)

Intervention Type OTHER

Assessment will capture frequency and time spent in strenuous, moderate, and mild PA over the past 7 days. Survivors also report hours of TV or similar sedentary screen time per week as a measure of sedentary behavior. Completed at months 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 while on study

Health Surveys

Intervention Type OTHER

Various health surveys will be completed to assess participant health and physical activities.

Delayed Exercise Group

Participants randomized to the delayed exercise group, will have vitals collected and complete surveys at the first (baseline), 3-month, and 6-month visits pre-determined test and procedures for the waitlist control arm. The pre-exercise consultation will begin after the 6-month visit.
