About this study

Official title: Reducing Metabolic Syndrome and Unmet Needs Among Rural Breast Cancer Survivors During the Survivorship Transition

Using a pilot 1-arm pre-post design, investigators will implement an intervention that is personalized, low burden (the majority of interactions are telephone coaching sessions), and delivered during the initial survivorship transition.

To determine the feasibility of the intervention 48 community-dwelling rural breast cancer survivors (BCS) (ages 40 and older) will receive the intervention. The 12-week intervention consists of three home-based face-to-face consultations with the therapist, 9 weekly habit tele phone coaching sessions, and the use of implementation intentions, environmental modifications, and tailored text messages to support physical activity and dietary habit formation and address unmet needs.

Read the detailed description

The objective of the present study is to determine the feasibility of a manual, theory based, occupational therapist delivered, preventative intervention to increase habit development (HD) of healthy dietary and physical activity behaviors, and reduce metabolic syndrome (MetS) among high-risk, rural breast cancer survivors (BCS). Using a pilot 1-arm pre-post design, investigators will implement an intervention that is personalized, low burden (the majority of interactions are telephone coaching sessions), and delivered during the initial survivorship transition. To determine the feasibility of the intervention 48 community-dwelling rural BCS (ages 40 and older) will receive the intervention. The 12-week intervention consists of three home-based face-to-face consultations with the therapist, 9 weekly habit telephone coaching sessions, and the use of implementation intentions, environmental modifications, and tailored text messages to support physical activity and dietary habit formation and address unmet needs. Feasibility metrics will be collected throughout the intervention. The one specific aim is:

Aim 1. To determine the feasibility and acceptability of the intervention for rural BCS. Investigators will evaluate recruitment, trial engagement and retention rates, treatment satisfaction, and the feasibility of the data collection processes for the primary behavioral measures of HD.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Habit development interventionBehavioural

    Lifestyle behavior change intervention targeting physical activity and dietary habit development as well as improving physical and social functioning

Study groups in NCT03719677
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Habit development interventionExperimentalTreatment includes occupational therapy evaluation and consultation to address any deficits in physical function, safety, social participation and/or life roles. After the occupational therapy evaluation, the therapist delivers education on physical activity and dietary recommendations and habit development techniques, and uses behavioral skills training to develop habit plans, as well as prompts/cues, environmental modifications, and reminder text messages to reinforce engagement in the plan. The intervention is delivered through 3 face to face sessions, 9 tele coaching calls, and text messages.
Receives: Behavioral: Habit development intervention

What is being measured

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

  1. Self Reported Behavioral Automaticity Index

    Measures changes in habit strength, scores range from 1-7 with higher scores indicating a stronger habit

    Measured: From week 0-2

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Habit development intervention in people with Breast Cancer, run by Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute 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?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 12 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 20 Nov 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 20 Nov 2020). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Self Reported Behavioral Automaticity Index (time frame: From week 0-2). 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 20 Nov 2020.
