An interventional study of Written Information and Prescription in Cancer Survivor and Prostate Carcinoma, sponsored by OHSU Knight Cancer Institute. Completed at 2 sites in United States. Open to male participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2020-07-29.
Sponsored by OHSU Knight Cancer Institute · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
This pilot clinical trial studies how well the True NTH Community of Wellness internet-based exercise and diet support works in improving diet and exercise habits in prostate cancer survivors. Internet-based exercise and diet support may help better control treatment-related side effects and symptoms, better overall quality of life, and lower risk factors associated with cancer progression.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the feasibility and acceptability of the Community of Wellness web portal among prostate cancer survivors by conducting a randomized controlled study comparing four levels of web-based content and interaction with participants.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To compare efficacy of four levels of web-based content in the Community of Wellness web portal in a pilot randomized controlled trial on exercise and dietary habits, self-efficacy for behavior change, motivation for exercise, and changes in treatment-related side effects.
OUTLINE: Patients are assigned to 1 of 4 groups.
GROUP I: Patients receive "Written Information" which includes access to the TrueNTH open access portal that provides basic written information about exercise and diet.
GROUP II: Patients receive access to "Written Information + Prescription", including written information plus additional an exercise prescription and tailored diet recommendations.
GROUP III: Patients receive access to "Written Information + Prescription + Technology", including written information, exercise prescription + diet recommendation and additional technology components. Patients complete diet and exercise behavior logs and receive educational and motivational text messages about healthy diet and exercise habits.
GROUP IV: Patients receive access to "Written Information + Prescription + Technology + Coaching" and receive written information, exercise prescription + diet recommendation, technology support and a 30-minute (each) diet and exercise consultation plus the ability to receive ongoing advice from coaches via the web portal.
After completion of intervention, patients are followed up at 3 months.
Exclusion Criteria:
Men who have contraindications to exercise based the American College of Sports Medicine 2016 Exercise pre-participation screening criteria and who do not receive a physician clearance to participate in the moderate intensity physical activity with one or more of the following self-reported conditions:

Accrual success
Measured as ability to recruit target sample size within one year
Time frame: Up to 3 months
Retention
Measured as the % of men who complete post-intervention and follow-up measures out of the total # of men enrolled
Time frame: Up to 6 months
Adherence to the study
Measured as the # of times that a man visits the portal over three months
Time frame: Up to 3 months
Community Healthy Activities Model Program for Seniors (CHAMPS) physical activity survey
CHAMPS estimates total weekly energy expenditure (in kilocalories per week) from low to vigorous intensity physical activities for older adults.
Time frame: Baseline, 3 months, and 6 months
Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health Food Frequency Questionnaire for adults from 2007
This 132-item survey assesses dietary intake over the past month in categories from "never or less than once per month" to "6 or more times per day" and supports examining major food and nutrient categories of the U.S. diet.
Time frame: Baseline, 3 months, and 6 months
Self-Efficacy for Exercise
A 6-item measure of Self-efficacy for Exercise will be used. Summed scores range from 6-30, and higher scores indicate higher self-efficacy.
Time frame: Baseline, 3 months, and 6 months
Physical Activity Stage Assessment
This 5-question measure asks the person to select one description, from a choice of five, which describes his current activity behavior.
Time frame: Baseline, 3 months, and 6 months
Charlson Comorbidity Index
The Charlson Comorbidity Index is a weighted index to predict mortality. Scores range from 0-37, with higher scores indicating more chronic medical conditions.
Time frame: Baseline, 3 months, and 6 months
Self-Efficacy for Diet
Diet self-efficacy will be measured by having participants rate their confidence in performing each recommended task (e.g., two more servings of cooked tomatoes per week) using a Likert scale.
Time frame: Baseline, 3 months, and 6 months
Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index
This self-report questionnaire assesses sleep quality and disturbances over a 1-month time interval. Nineteen individual items generate seven "component" scores: subjective sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep duration, habitual sleep efficiency, sleep disturbances, use of sleeping medication, and daytime dysfunction. The sum of scores for these seven components yields one global score.
Time frame: Baseline, 3 months, and 6 months
Memorial Anxiety Scale for Prostate Cancer (MAX-PC)
MAX-PC is an 18 item scale to facilitate the identification and assessment of men with prostate cancer-related anxiety. This scale consists of three subscales that measure general prostate cancer anxiety, anxiety related to prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels in particular, and fear of recurrence.
Time frame: Baseline, 3 months, and 6 months
PROMIS 7-item Short Form - Fatigue
PROMIS - Fatigue evaluates self-reported symptoms of fatigue, from mild subjective feelings of tiredness to an overwhelming sense of exhaustion over the past seven days.
Time frame: Baseline, 3 months, and 6 months
Behavioral Regulation in Exercise Questionnaire (BREQ2)
BREQ2 measures the continuum of behavioral regulation in exercise psychology research. This questionnaire concerns the reasons why a person exercises regularly, works out, or engages in other such physical activities. It is structured so that it asks one question and provides responses that represent external regulation, introjected regulation, identified regulation, and intrinsic motivation.
Time frame: Baseline, 3 months, and 6 months
European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30)
EORTC QLQ-C30 is a 30-item questionnaire developed to assess the quality of life of cancer patients and has five functional scales (physical, role, cognitive, emotional, and social), three symptom scales (fatigue, pain, and nausea and vomiting), a global health status / QoL scale, and a number of single items assessing additional symptoms commonly reported by cancer patients (dyspnea, loss of appetite, insomnia, constipation and diarrhea) and perceived financial impact of the disease. Scores range from 0-100, with higher functional scale scores indicating a higher level of healthy functioning while a higher score for a symptom scale represents a higher level of symptomatology or problems.
Time frame: Baseline, 3 months, and 6 months
