About this trial

This study intends to explore feasibility, acceptability, and outcomes related to the use of a digital health coaching intervention for individuals who have completed primary therapy for cancer. Up to 625 individuals with diverse cancer diagnoses will be enrolled across up to 8 clinical sites to participate in a randomized wait-list control study. Those in the intervention group will receive 6 months of digital coaching up front followed by 6 months of ongoing monitoring via patient reported and clinical outcomes, as well as wearable data. Those in the control group will be monitored via patient reported and clinical outcomes as well as wearable data for the first 6 months followed by 6 months of digital health coaching. Both groups will collect fecal microbiome samples at enrollment and month 6. The study aims to explore if and how digital health coaching may be used to enhance outcomes for individuals following completion of primary cancer therapy.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Have primary diagnosis of cancer;

Are within 1 year of completion of primary therapy OR have a diagnosis of metastatic cancer

For the purpose of this study, primary therapy is defined as treatment of curative intent, first-line or later, from which the individual is advancing to active surveillance or follow-up with or without maintenance therapy

For individuals with metastatic cancer, individuals may be included provided they completed primary therapy for a de novo diagnosis of metastatic disease within the last year, are within one year of completion of initial therapy for their primary cancer diagnosis for which disease progression has occurred, or who are within one year of receiving treatment for metastatic disease (including individuals currently receiving treatment).

Disqualifiers

Have a cognitive impairment (as assessed by their provider) that would prohibit the individual from engaging with the digital health coaching program or complete study assessments;

Have a neurologic, musculoskeletal, or other comorbid condition that would impede their ability to engage in physical activity (as assessed by their provider)

Have a life expectancy of <6 months, and/or

Are on active treatment for relapsed disease. a. Individuals with disease progression or relapse which occurs following their consent to participate will be given the option to continue on study if they wish to do so. Data from individuals experiencing disease progression or relapse will be grouped for sub-analysis to explore if and how relapse impacts study outcomes.
