About this study

Official title: Mobile Health App to Mitigate the Metabolic Effects of Androgen Deprivation Therapy: A Randomize Pilot Trial in Men Newly Treated With Androgen Deprivation Therapy

This research study seeks to develop and evaluate a mobile health app which aims to provide patients who are about to initiate androgen deprivation therapy for prostate cancer with an exercise program and better eating habits.

Read the detailed description

This research study seeks to develop and evaluate a mobile health app which aims to provide patients who are about to initiate androgen deprivation therapy for prostate cancer with an exercise program and better eating habits. The first phase of the research study seeks to evaluate the experience of the first version of the mobile health app within a group of participants and what they think of it.

The investigators are interested in how individuals react to the use of a developed mobile health app and what they think of it.

What is being measured

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

  1. Accumulation of body fat mass

    This endpoint will be assessed with dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry - also known as a DEXA scan.

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Whole-body lean mass

    This endpoint will be assessed with dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry - also known as a DEXA scan.

    Measured: 2 years

  2. Regional lean mass

    This endpoint will be assessed with dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry - also known as a DEXA scan.

    Measured: 2 years

  3. Percent fat

    This endpoint will be assessed with dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry - also known as a DEXA scan.

    Measured: 2 years

  4. Estimated visceral adipose

    This endpoint will be assessed with dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry - also known as a DEXA scan.

    Measured: 2 years

  5. Application's performance on iOS and Android platforms

    This outcome (for phase 1 of the trial) will be collected in 10 participants through verbal responses and/or computer either by the research coordinator or the participant. All data collected will be anonymously recorded.

    Measured: 2 years

  6. Application's ability to effectively motivate and track outcomes for patients

    This outcome (for phase 1 of the trial) will be collected in 10 participants through verbal responses and/or computer either by the research coordinator or the participant. All data collected will be anonymously recorded.

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Mobile Health App in people with Prostate Cancer, run by Dana-Farber 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 19 inclusion and 8 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 22 Jun 2023. 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?

Accumulation of body fat mass (time frame: 2 years). 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 22 Jun 2023.
