Translating Healthy Lifestyle Interventions for Breast and Endometrial Cancer Survivors With Diabetes

Investigators proposed to refine and test the feasibility and acceptability of a 4-month multi-modal lifestyle intervention in African American female breast or endometrial cancer survivors diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Recent systematic reviews and meta-analyses of cohort studies show that physical activity can reduce mortality and morbidity in diabetes and obesity-related cancers. Yet, there have been few efforts to promote physical activity within the context of female cancer survivorship, particularly among women with diabetes. In response, investigators proposed to refine and test the feasibility and acceptability of a 4-month multi-modal lifestyle intervention in African Americans (AA) with diabetes and who are breast or endometrial cancer survivors. This web-based, lifestyle intervention, coupled with coaching calls and in-person exercise sessions, may be an effective way to promote physical activity and healthy survivorship. The primary goal is for participants to participate in 30 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity five times a week. The investigators' aims : i) refine a theory-driven healthy lifestyle intervention, that is delivered via computer technologies and periodic in-person group exercise sessions with appropriate content, literacy demand and graphics, ii) assess the preliminary effects of the intervention on the primary outcome of level of moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA), as measured by accelerometry; weight, glycosylated hemaglobin and evaluate the effect of eating behaviors, wellbeing/functioning (quality of life, depressive symptoms, self-efficacy), compliance/adherence to protocol and acceptability on response to the intervention.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Other: Physical Activity Group
The Success Study's Standard Behavioral Weight Change Intervention consists of 75 minute group sessions held monthly which include 30 minutes of physical activity with a licensed Physical Activity Instructor. Web Lessons that include information on Physical Activity, Nutrition and Healthy Behaviors will also be provided to participants on the study's website.
Behavioral: Standard Behavioral Weight Change Intervention
Participants enrolled in Phase 2 of the study will meet once a month for 75 minutes over the course of 4 months. Within this 75 minutes, they will complete 25 minutes of physical activity with a licensed physical activity instructor that is very experienced with working with this population, review and discuss various topics/lessons that relate to diabetes, nutrition, survivorship and physical activity with the study's interventionist and Group Leader
