Evaluating the Anticancer Learning Circle Lifestyle Program in Endometrial Cancer Survivors

October 22, 2025 updated by: Kari Ring, MD, University of Virginia

A Prospective Feasibility Study Evaluating the Implementation of the Anticancer Lifestyle Program in Endometrial Cancer Survivors

The purpose of this study is to promote positive lifestyle change among endometrial cancer survivors by using a group-based intervention. Endometrial cancer survivors are at an increased risk of other health conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and other cancers. The study team at the University of Virginia wants to explore new ways to lower these risks. This study will be evaluating the Anticancer Lifestyle program, which takes a more holistic approach and uses web-based learning modules along with weekly group sessions to discuss each topic of the web-based learning modules.

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.

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.
Experimental: Anticancer Learning Circle Participant
Behavioral: Anticancer Learning Circle
All participants will partake in the Anticancer Learning Circle, a lifestyle modification program. All participants will complete web-based learning modules focused on improving diet, lowering stress, increasing fitness, and reducing exposure to toxins in the home environment. Each week, all participants will meet as a group to discuss the learning topic of the web-based learning module for the week.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of participants that complete the program
Time Frame: Week 7
The proportion of participants completing the program as defined by the number of those who participated in at least 75% of online sessions.
Week 7

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change from Week 0 of the Automated Self-administered 24-hour Dietary Assessment (ASA24) at Week 7
Time Frame: 7 weeks

The Automated Self-Administered 24-hour (ASA24®) Dietary Assessment Tool is a free, web-based tool created by the National Cancer Institute to assess nutritional intake. ASA24 enables multiple, automatically coded, self-administered 24-hour diet recalls and/or single or multi-day food records, also known as food diaries.

Overall nutrition will be assessed at week 0 and week 7 to compare and evaluate changes in dietary patterns of participants.
7 weeks
Change from Week 0 of Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7) Survey from Baseline at Week 32
Time Frame: 32 weeks

The GAD-7 is a validated, self-reported survey assessing feelings of anxiety. Possible scores range from 0 (minimal anxiety) to 21 (severe anxiety).

Scores will be evaluated at weeks 0, 4, 7, and 32 with overall primary endpoint evaluating change between week 0 and week 32.

Change = (Week 32 Score - Week 0 score)
32 weeks
Change from Week 0 of the Godin Leisure-Time Exercise Questionnaire (GLTEQ) from Baseline at Week 32
Time Frame: 32 weeks

The GLTEQ is a validated, self-reported scale assessing physical activity. Participants self-report the number of times per week they engage in strenuous, moderate, and mild/light physical activity. The self-reported number is multiplied by 9 for strenuous exercise, 5 for moderate exercise, and 3 for mild/light exercise. Scores can range from less than 14 units (insufficiently Active/Sedentary) to 24 units of more (Active).

Scores will be evaluated at weeks 0, 4, 7, and 32 with overall primary endpoint evaluating change between week 0 and week 32.

Change = (Week 32 score - Week 0 score)
32 weeks
Change from Week 0 of the Cancer Worry Scale (CWS) to Week 32
Time Frame: 32 weeks

The CWS scale is a validated, self-reported scale assessing participants worries about developing or reoccurring cancer. Scores can range from 8 (seldom or never worried) to 32 (worried a lot/almost all the time).

Scores will be evaluated at weeks 0, 4, 7, and 32 with overall primary endpoint evaluating change between week 0 and week 32.

Change = (Week 32 score - Week 0 score)
32 weeks
Change from Week 0 of the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) to Week 32
Time Frame: Baseline and Week 32

The PHQ-9 is a validated, self-reported scale to assess symptoms of major depressive disorder. Scores can range from 0 (none-Minimal) to 27 (severe).

Scores will be evaluated at weeks 0, 4, 7, and 32 with overall primary endpoint evaluating change between week 0 and week 32.

Change = (Week 32 score - Week 0 score)
Baseline and Week 32
Assess Attitudes Toward Group-Based Lifestyle Therapy Program Utilizing Internal Scale at Week 7 and Week 32
Time Frame: Week 7 and Week 32

Internal survey built to evaluate participants' satisfaction with the Anticancer Lifestyle Foundation's lifestyle program.

Quantitative measures are gathered utilizing a scale of Strongly Disagree to Strongly Agree to assess participant attitudes towards program satisfaction, usefulness of information learned, and to gauge if the participant feels they were able to make positive lifestyle changes through participation in the program.

Additional questions assess feelings towards preferences of group size, platform used, number of sessions, and length of program.

Qualitive measure allows participants to share any thoughts/concerns/or feedback regarding the program.
