The ENHANCE Study: Exercise and Nutrition in Head And Neck CancEr Survivors
Study Purpose
The purpose of the study is to design a physical activity and dietary intervention for head and neck cancer patients.
Recruitment Criteria
Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms
An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.
An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.
Inclusion Criteria:
Exclusion Criteria:
- - Patients scheduled to receive surgery.
- Patients on enteral or parental nutritionTrial Details
This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.
Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.
Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.
Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.
Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.
The sponsor is the organization or person who oversees the clinical study and is responsible for analyzing the study data.
The person who is responsible for the scientific and technical direction of the entire clinical study.
Category of organization(s) involved as sponsor (and collaborator) supporting the trial.
The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied.
Arms
Experimental: ENHANCE Intervention Diet and Excerise
Participants will participate in 2 in-person supervised resistance training sessions every week for the 7 weeks (during radiation), followed by 2 ZOOM video conference supervised resistance training sessions every week for 5 weeks (after radiation). During radiation, participants will be provided 15 meals each week for 7 weeks. Participants will also attend weekly dietary coaching sessions. Participants will receive a Fitbit to wear continuously 24/7 over 12-weeks to track steps and activity intensity.
Experimental: ENHANCE Intervention Diet Only
Participants will be provided 15 meals each week for 7 weeks that will accommodate common NIS concerns (ex. dysphagia and difficulty chewing) following an aMED dietary pattern (5 breakfast, 5 lunch, and 5 dinner), will be taught proper portion size, and will be asked to record percentages of each meal consumed in a provided food journal, in addition to any outside meals, snacks, or nutritional supplements. They will be provided with dietary coaching weekly to discuss NIS, aMED diet compliance, and set weekly SMART goals. Following completion of chemoradiotherapy (5 weeks), participants will be provided dietary coaching weekly (in-person or via videoconference), discuss NIS, aMED diet compliance at home, and set weekly SMART goals (30 min). Participants will receive a Fitbit to wear continuously 24/7 over 12-weeks to track steps and activity intensity.
No Intervention: Usual Care + Fitbit
Participants will receive handouts with diet and exercise education. Participants will receive a Fitbit to wear continuously 24/7 over 12-weeks to track steps and activity intensity.
Interventions
Behavioral: - ENHANCE Intervention - Exercise and Nutrition
During radiation, participants will attend in-person supervised resistance training sessions once a week for 7 weeks, followed by 2 ZOOM video conference supervised resistance training sessions every week for 5 weeks, after radiation. Sessions will last approximately 30 minutes. During radiation, participants will be provided 15 meals each week for 7 weeks, 105 meals total. Participants will be asked to participate in 1 weekly dietary coaching session (in-person during radiation and video conference following radiation), create weekly SMART goals, follow an alternative Mediterranean diet pattern, and log all meals, snacks, and supplements consumed for the 12-week intervention.
Behavioral: - ENHANCE Intervention - Nutrition Only
During chemoradiotherapy, participants will be provided 15 meals each week for 7 weeks (105 meals total) that will accommodate common NIS concerns (ex. dysphagia and difficulty chewing) following an aMED dietary pattern (5 breakfast, 5 lunch, and 5 dinner), will be taught proper portion size, and will be asked to record percentages of each meal consumed in a provided food journal, in addition to any outside meals, snacks, or nutritional supplements. They will be provided with dietary coaching weekly to discuss NIS, aMED diet compliance, and set weekly SMART goals (approximately 30 min). Following completion of chemoradiotherapy (5 weeks), participants will be provided dietary coaching weekly (in-person or via videoconference), discuss NIS, aMED diet compliance at home, and set weekly SMART goals (30 min). Trainers will monitor participants' Fitbit active minutes in real time throughout the intervention period and provide aerobic exercise encouragement accordingly.
