Feasibility of Exercise and Healthy Eating for Breast Cancer Survivors

This study, called 'Exercise for CAncer Patients and Healthy EAting Timeframes' (EXCAP), is looking at how practical and helpful a home-based exercise program and a healthy eating plan are for people who have had breast cancer. You would participate in the EXCAP Exercise Program, which involves walking and resistance band training, and the 10-Hour Healthy Eating Timeframe (hEAT), where you limit your daily eating to 10 hours or less. The study aims to see if these interventions are easy to follow and if they help with symptoms like cancer-related fatigue. To join, you must be 18 or older, have a confirmed diagnosis of breast cancer (stages I-IIIC), have finished your main cancer treatments (like chemotherapy, surgery, or radiation) between 2 and 120 months ago, be taking adjuvant endocrine therapy, and have a baseline level of fatigue. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status and plans to enroll 20 participants.

Study design
This is an interventional study, meaning participants will receive specific interventions. It is designed to evaluate the feasibility and preliminary effects of the programs.
What's involved
Participants will follow a home-based walking and resistance band exercise program and maintain a daily eating window of 10 hours or less for 6 weeks. The timing of first and last meals will be recorded daily.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
The primary endpoint, adherence to the programs, is measured from Baseline to Day 42.

What this trial measures

  • Proportion of Participants Meeting Pre-Specified Adherence CriteriaBaseline to Day 42

    Percentage of participants who meet all three adherence criteria during the 6-week intervention: Maintain a ≤10-hour eating timeframe on at least 50 percent of intervention days (21 of 42 days) Complete resistance band exercises at least 12 total sessions during the 6-week period Increase average weekly step count by at least 20 percent from baseline to Week 6
