A Decentralized, Double-blinded, Randomized, 18 month, Parallel-group, Superiority Study to evaluate the impact of Complement Theory's Live Coactive Exercise Coaching and Personalized Digital Application on Cancer Survivors' Quality of Life

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The randomized controlled trial (RCT) aims to evaluate the efficacy of Complement Theory's (CT) personalized and interactive, evidence-backed lifestyle program in improving Cancer Survivors' Quality of Life across all major cancer types.

Distinct from conventional interventions, CT's program offers live CoActive coaching through a mobile app, concentrating on Exercise and Meditation, and is enriched with evidence-based advice on Diet. This trial is pivotal in assessing the program's effectiveness against an active comparator - expert-recommended lifestyle modification resources suitable for cancer survivors -- to isolate the impact of coaching and personalization.

The primary objective is to investigate whether CT's novel approach can significantly improve Quality of Life for survivors. Furthermore, the trial seeks to measure absenteeism and presenteeism at work to provide a holistic evaluation of the program's impact on patient care and well-being. As an exploratory effort, the trial will also measure changes in healthcare expenditure across all survivors along with assessing cancer progression, recurrence in Prostate, Lung and Colorectal cancer survivors.
