SBU-RESET: RElaxation, Stress Reduction and Epigenetics Trial in Cancer Survivors
A study testing Oncology-informed yoga and SMART in people with Cancer Survivors and Cancer Survivorship, run by Barbara Nemesure at 1 site in United States.
Trial summary
Cancer survivors can experience health issues that cause chronic illness and lower quality of life. Yoga is a well-known holistic approach to health and overall well-being. Mindfulness has many benefits, including improved focus and less stress. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Pilot Study of a Social/Behavioral Intervention on Cancer Survivors, Evaluating the Effect of Mind Body Interventions on Patient Reported Outcomes, Inflammation and Epigenetics.
Cancer survivors can experience health issues that cause chronic illness and lower quality of life. Yoga is a well-known holistic approach to health and overall well-being. Mindfulness has many benefits, including improved focus and less stress. This study aims to evaluate if yoga and/or mindfulness has a positive effect on cancer survivors social, emotional and physical well-being as well as their epigenetics. Epigenetics is how the environment can effect your genes; not by changing our DNA, but by turning genes on or off.
Read the detailed description
Randomized interventional pilot study to evaluate whether a mind-body intervention (Stress Management and Resiliency Training (SMART) or (oncology-informed yoga) influences patient-reported Quality of life (QoL) outcomes (physical/social/emotional/ functional well-being and symptom burden) in cancer survivors. A secondary (exploratory) aim is to evaluate whether these mind-body interventions impact epigenetics.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Patient Reported Quality of Life (QOL) by EORTC QLQ-C30
Patient reported quality of life measured using the validated quality of life questionnaire C30 (QLQ-C30), developed by the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer. This scale includes 5 functional and 3 symptom scales, each scored as a 0-100 scale, where higher scores indicate a better outcome on functional scales and global health status, and a worse outcome on symptoms.
Measured: 8 weeks
Patient Reported Quality of Life (QOL) by EORTC QLQ-SURV100
Patient-reported quality of life, measured using the EORTC QLQ-SURV100 a validated quality-of-life questionnaire developed by the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer, evaluates survivorship-specific domains for QOL among disease-free survivors at least 1 year post-treatment, along with the validated EORTC disease-specific modules for the appropriate cancer type, and when applicable, 3 provisional site-specific survivorship modules. The SURV100 comprises 12 functional and 9 symptom scales, a symptom checklist, 4 single items, and 10 conditional items. Essentials survivorship scales consist of 73 items to evaluate short and long-term physical, psychological, and social domains unique to disease-free cancer survivors. Scores range from 0 to 100. A high score on a functional scale indicates a high/healthy level of functioning; a high score on the global health status/QL indicates a high QL, and a high score on a symptom item indicates a high level of symptomatology.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
Cancer survivors can experience health issues that cause chronic illness and lower quality of life. Yoga is a well-known holistic approach to health and overall well-being. Mindfulness has many benefits, including improved focus and less stress. This study aims to evaluate if yoga and/or mindfulness has a positive effect on cancer survivors social, emotional and physical well-being as well as their epigenetics. Epigenetics is how the environment can effect your genes; not by changing our DNA, but by turning genes on or off.
Detailed description
Randomized interventional pilot study to evaluate whether a mind-body intervention (Stress Management and Resiliency Training (SMART) or (oncology-informed yoga) influences patient-reported Quality of life (QoL) outcomes (physical/social/emotional/ functional well-being and symptom burden) in cancer survivors. A secondary (exploratory) aim is to evaluate whether these mind-body interventions impact epigenetics.

Primary outcome
Patient Reported Quality of Life (QOL) by EORTC QLQ-C30
Time frame: 8 weeks
Patient reported quality of life measured using the validated quality of life questionnaire C30 (QLQ-C30), developed by the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer. This scale includes 5 functional and 3 symptom scales, each scored as a 0-100 scale, where higher scores indicate a better outcome on functional scales and global health status, and a worse outcome on symptoms.
Patient Reported Quality of Life (QOL) by EORTC QLQ-SURV100
Time frame: 8 weeks
Patient-reported quality of life, measured using the EORTC QLQ-SURV100 a validated quality-of-life questionnaire developed by the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer, evaluates survivorship-specific domains for QOL among disease-free survivors at least 1 year post-treatment, along with the validated EORTC disease-specific modules for the appropriate cancer type, and when applicable, 3 provisional site-specific survivorship modules. The SURV100 comprises 12 functional and 9 symptom scales, a symptom checklist, 4 single items, and 10 conditional items. Essentials survivorship scales consist of 73 items to evaluate short and long-term physical, psychological, and social domains unique to disease-free cancer survivors. Scores range from 0 to 100. A high score on a functional scale indicates a high/healthy level of functioning; a high score on the global health status/QL indicates a high QL, and a high score on a symptom item indicates a high level of symptomatology.

The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Jul 2026. 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.
