About this study

Official title: Feasibility of a Physical Activity Intervention Informed by Self-Determination Theory With Patients Recovering From Colorectal Cancer

Long-term maintenance of physical activity behaviour change post-intervention remains challenging. This study is investigating the feasibility of a behaviour change intervention based on Self-Determination Theory in people recovering from colorectal cancer and its effects on behaviour change 6 months post-intervention.

Read the detailed description

This study was a randomized controlled feasibility trial consisting of a 3-months active lifestyle intervention and a 3-months follow-up period. Participants were allocated to an active lifestyle programme (ALP) or the standard (SC) care group. ALP was offered 12 supervised exercise sessions over 3 months and six supportive behaviour change workshops. SC was encouraged to continue with their usual lifestyle. The intervention was informed by Self-Determination Theory.

The supervised exercise sessions took place in small groups of maximum 7 participants and lasted approximately 1 hour. Exercise included aerobic and resistance exercises. The behaviour change workshops were delivered in a motivational interviewing style, also in small groups of maximum 7 participants.

Participants were followed-up at 6 months. There was no contact with participants during the post-intervention and follow-up period.

  • Active lifestyle programmeBehavioural

    Also called MOVE

    The intervention is an activity lifestyle programme to increase physical activity behaviour post-intervention and to facilitate behaviour change maintenance at 3 months post-intervention.

Study groups in NCT02751892
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Active Lifestyle ProgrammeExperimentalSupervised exercises for 3 months and motivational interviewing to facilitate physical activity behaviour change. Supervised exercise sessions took place twice per week for the first four weeks. This was tapered off to once per week for the second four weeks. During the last month of the intervention participants continued with the exercise at home and were encouraged to achieve 150min of moderate to vigorous PA per week.
Receives: Behavioral: Active lifestyle programme
Standard CareNo interventionReceived usual care. Was offered the intervention after the completion of the study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Active lifestyle programme in people with Colorectal Cancer, run by University of East Anglia.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. 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 26 Apr 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Change in minutes spent in moderate and vigorous intensity physical activity measure with the International Physical Activity Questionnaire long version (time frame: 0, 3, 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Apr 2016.
