Telehealth Exercise for Rural Cancer Survivors with Fatigue
This study is testing a 12-week Telehealth Exercise Program called BfitBwell-TP for rural cancer survivors experiencing cancer-related fatigue (CRF). This program uses videoconference sessions with Cancer Exercise Specialists and a personal training app to deliver personalized exercise plans. You might be able to join if you are 18 to 89 years old, have been diagnosed with breast or prostate cancer, and completed your cancer treatment (like hormonal therapy, radiation, chemotherapy, or immunotherapy) between 3 months and 5 years ago. The main goal is to see if this exercise program improves your fatigue. Researchers will also look at how your physical function changes. The study plans to enroll 134 participants and is comparing the program to a wait-list control group.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study with a planned enrollment of 134 participants. It uses a randomized controlled trial design, comparing the Telehealth Exercise Program to a wait-list control group.
- What's involved
- You will complete a virtual physical assessment before and after the 12-week program. You will also provide small dried blood samples and have measures of physical function collected throughout the program.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Your cancer-related fatigue will be measured at the start of the study and again at Week 12.

What this trial measures
- Change from Baseline in FACIT-Fatigue (cancer-related fatigue) score at Week 12Baseline, Week 12
