About this study

Official title: Lifestyle Change and Quality of Life in Obese Endometrial Cancer Survivors

RATIONALE: Exercise and dietary counseling may affect weight loss and improve the quality of life of obese endometrial cancer patients and may help them live longer and more comfortably.

PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying the effects of exercise and dietary counseling on weight loss and quality of life of obese patients with stage I or stage II endometrial cancer in remission.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Determine the combined effect of exercise and dietary counseling on the weight loss and quality of life of obese patients with stage I or II endometrial cancer in remission.

Secondary

  • Determine the feasibility and acceptability of lifestyle interventions in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a randomized, controlled study. Patients are stratified according to age and body mass index (25-29.9 vs ≥ 30). Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

  • Arm I: Patients undergo weekly contact with a dietitian; exercise intervention for 6 months; and physician counseling at baseline and at 3, 6, and 12 months. Patients undergo quality of life assessments and clinical assessments at baseline and at 3, 6, and 12 months.
  • Arm II: Patients undergo quality of life, exercise, and clinical assessments at baseline and at 3, 6, and 12 months.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed at 1 year.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 60 patients will be accrued for this study.

Being tested

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Quality of life as measured by Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy for General Cancer (FACT-G) and Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy for Fatigue (FACT-F) at baseline, 3, 6, and 12 months

    Measured: baseline, 3, 6, and 12 months

  2. Weight loss as measured by weight, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, Weight Efficacy Life Style Questionnaire, Three Factor Eating Inventory Questionnaire, and Leisure Score index at baseline, 3, 6, and 12 months

    Measured: baseline, 3, 6, and 12 months

  3. Functional status as measured by ECOG performance status, and short-form health survey with 36 questions (SF-36)

    Measured: baseline, 3, 6, and 12 months

  4. Comorbidities as measured by Charlson Co-Morbidity Score at baseline, 3, 6, and 12 months

    Measured: baseline, 3, 6, and 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing behavioral dietary intervention, counseling intervention and educational intervention in people with Endometrial Cancer and Weight Changes, run by Case Comprehensive Cancer Center at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Jul 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Quality of life as measured by Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy for General Cancer (FACT-G) and Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy for Fatigue (FACT-F) at baseline, 3, 6, and 12 months (time frame: baseline, 3, 6, and 12 months). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00262938, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
