Brief Summary

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

This study is a single-center, prospective, randomized controlled trial targeting endometrial cancer (EC) patients undergoing fertility-sparing treatment at Peking University People's Hospital from March 2025 to March 2027. The aim is to evaluate the efficacy of an intelligent mobile application (APP) based on the Adaptive Behavioral Intervention (ABI) framework in weight management for obese or overweight endometrial cancer patients receiving fertility preservation therapy. Additionally, the study seeks to explore its potential advantages in improving body mass index (BMI), tumor regression, and glucose and lipid metabolism profiles.

Detailed Description

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

Endometrial cancer is one of the most common malignancies of the female reproductive tract, with obesity being a closely associated factor in its development and progression. According to the American Cancer Society, 57% of endometrial cancer cases are linked to obesity, and a 5-unit increase in body mass index (BMI) elevates the risk of EC by 50%. Overweight or obesity adversely impacts treatment efficacy and reduces survival rates in EC patients. In recent years, the incidence of EC has shown a trend toward younger populations, posing significant threats to the health and quality of life of patients undergoing fertility-sparing treatment. The Adaptive Behavioral Intervention (ABI) framework emphasizes real-time adjustments based on individual feedback and progress to optimize behavioral change and health outcomes. Integrating smart application (APP) technology can provide more convenient and personalized weight management support for EC patients undergoing fertility preservation. By continuously collecting and analyzing behavioral data, the intervention strategy can be dynamically tailored, thereby enhancing the effectiveness and sustainability of the intervention. Currently, there is a paucity of research on comprehensive weight management interventions incorporating intelligent APPs for obese or overweight EC patients in fertility-sparing treatment. This study aims to investigate the efficacy of an ABI-based smart APP in weight management for this population through a randomized controlled trial (RCT).

Study Groups

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

Experimental Group

① Implementation of the DEAR weight management model; ② Comprehensive coverage of the intelligent APP on the user end, and reinforcement of the regular interactive feedback and supervision mechanism of the medical team through the APP; ③ Provision of routine post-discharge care plans and follow-up programs.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

DEAR weight management

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

In the DEAR weight management model:

D (Diet) refers to dietary management, primarily based on a calorie-restricted balanced diet; E (Exercise) refers to exercise management, guided by the 10th edition of the ACSM Exercise Testing and Prescription Guidelines and the 2017 National Fitness Guidelines. Exercise prescriptions are tailored to the patient's daily activity levels (light, moderate, and vigorous) to match the corresponding intensity levels; A (Accompany) refers to peer education, which involves using peer education methods to provide health education for patients, build confidence, and alleviate anxiety; R (Refresh) refers to rejuvenation, which involves correcting unhealthy dietary and exercise habits and establishing good lifestyle practices.

Standardized discharge care plan and follow-up schedule

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Standardized discharge care plan and follow-up schedule providing patients and their families with professional and feasible pre-discharge education on disease-related knowledge, dietary and exercise recommendations, daily living advice, and psychological support to help patients establish healthy behaviors. Patients are provided with printed health education materials and a handbook on health and disease knowledge. A WeChat communication group is established to promptly answer patients' questions, encourage peer-to-peer experience sharing, and conduct regular telephone follow-ups and questionnaire surveys after discharge.

Implementation of the weight management mobile health application + Enhance the regular interaction, feedback, and supervision mechanism between medical teams and apps

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Based on the intelligent app's comprehensive coverage on the user side and integrating the ABI concept, the app dynamically adjusts intervention strategies. This is achieved by real-time collection and analysis of user behavior data, providing users with all around and personalized weight management support across diet, exercise, psychological support, etc., thereby enhancing the effectiveness and sustainability of interventions. The research team has formed a professional and experienced medical team. All members hold a bachelor's degree or above and possess rich clinical weight management experience. Through the app, they provide users with scientific and rigorous supervision and guidance. During weight loss, users can obtain accurate, professional answers and personalized adjustment advice in real-time via the app's question-asking column if they encounter any problems.

Control Group

① Implementation of the DEAR weight management model; ② Participants autonomously select functional modules of the weight management APP based on individualized health needs; ③ Provision of routine post-discharge care plans and follow-up programs.

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Patients are provided with printed health education materials and a handbook on health and disease knowledge. A WeChat communication group is established to promptly answer patients' questions, encourage peer-to-peer experience sharing, and conduct regular telephone follow-ups and questionnaire surveys after discharge.

Implementation of the weight management mobile health application

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Patients undergoing weight management are instructed to download the app from the app store (compatible with both iOS and Android platforms). Users in the control group can independently register and log in using their mobile phone numbers to access and use the app. The app will create an electronic health record for weight management for each user. Users can input their weight-related information, and the app features a data analysis function that displays weight trends through charts (e.g., BMI calculation and personal weight change curves). The app interface also provides professional guidance on diet and exercise, such as food calorie information, customized nutritional meal plans, and specialized exercise programs with training courses. By offering educational articles and instructional videos, the app aims to promote correct weight management concepts, disseminate scientific health knowledge, and enhance self-efficacy in weight loss.
