March 17, 2021 updated by: Sanford Health

Preliminary Trial to Evaluate the Effectiveness of the Profile by Sanford Weight Management Program in Endometrial Cancer Patients

The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a 12-month comprehensive weight management program on weight change in overweight/obese patients following treatment for endometrial cancer. During the study period, subjects will be monitored for recurrence during routine clinic visits A secondary exploratory purpose of this study will be to evaluate the gut microbiome in this intervention group and the changes that may occur while participating in a weight loss and weight management program.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

All enrolled subjects will participate in the Profile weight loss and weight management program for a period of 12 months. They will work with a Profile lifestyle coach weekly to develop a personalized nutrition plan, discuss their activity, and lifestyle behavior as done with all Profile members. A comparison of similar retrospective chart reviews based on age, weight in pounds and stage of cancer will be conducted using the Electronic Medical Record (EMR). All enrolled subjects will collect and return a fecal specimen prior to beginning the weight management plan and again after 6 months of participation. The stool sample will be used to understand gut health.

Experimental: Profile by Sanford
All enrolled subjects are assigned to participate in the Profile by Sanford weight management program for a period of 12 months..Subjects will follow the Profile program and will be provided a nutritional plan which includes consuming Profile nutritional supplements and other food items. Subjects will work with a Profile lifestyle coach to develop a personalized nutrition plan, discuss their activity, and lifestyle behavior. Subjects on this research study will follow the Profile by Sanford weight loss and management plan as all Profile members. All enrolled subjects will collect and return a fecal specimen prior to beginning the Profile by Sanford weight management plan and again after 6 months of participation.
The purpose of this study is to observe weight changes in patients who completed endometrial cancer treatment, are clinically overweight, and who participate in the Profile by Sanford weight management program. An exploratory purpose is to examine the bacterial content of the patient's gut by examining stool specimens before starting the Profile by Sanford weight management program and after 6 months of participation in the Profile by Sanford weight management program.
