Study summary

The project aims to develop a gamified medical yoga intervention through co-design with patients with cancer and key stakeholders, ensuring alignment with user needs and requirements. The first objective is to identify user and stakeholder needs, preferences, and requirements for effective home-based training. The project will then examine facilitators and barriers that influence patient engagement with gamification interventions. Subsequently, it will assess the feasibility, acceptability, including usability and acceptability, of the gamified AI yoga intervention for patients with cancer in real-world implementation contexts.

Timeline

1 registry update since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Sep 2026 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Dec 2028, 27 months after the start.

Of 1,358 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Neoplasms, half reached primary completion within 37 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 17 and three quarters within 71. This study's planned 27 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 1,404 studies reached it within 38 months; a quarter within 17 and three quarters within 71.

Neoplasms covers many different conditions, not one, so the studies compared here vary widely. Read these figures as a rough guide.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
