Clinical Trial Summary

The Move for Your Health (MY Health) Pilot Study is a 12-week study for older cancer survivors to promote light physical activity. The home-based study (no travel required) will test whether a Fitbit activity tracker and health coaching can help cancer survivors be more active throughout the day.


Description:

The objective is to examine the feasibility and acceptability of a home-based lifestyle activity intervention to promote light-intensity activity using a whole-of-day approach. Sixty-four older cancer survivors will be randomized to either a 12-week theory-based intervention or a waitlist control. The intervention uses a Fitbit activity tracker that pairs with a smartphone app to promote awareness and enable self-monitoring of both activity and inactivity. Motivational counseling will be used to individually tailor strategies to achieve goals. Data will be collected at baseline, post-intervention (week 13), and 3-months post-intervention (week 26).

Eligibility Inclusion Criteria: - Diagnosed in New Mexico (NM) with a loco-regionally staged cancer, completed primary treatment (surgery, radiation, chemotherapy), and not currently being treated for a recurrence. Patients with metastatic cancer are eligible with physician approval. - Mild-to-moderate physical functional impairment (raw score between 20 and 34 on the 8-item PROMIS Physical Function survey) - Able to speak, read, & understand English or Spanish - Participating in less than 120 minutes per week of moderate-intensity physical activity - Living independently and capable of walking 3 blocks (approximately 1300 steps or 0.25 mile) without an assistive device (e.g., cane, walker) and without stopping to rest - Own a smartphone or tablet *OR* be willing to use a study-provided smartphone capable of running the Fitbit app. Also, access to the internet or a Wi-Fi hotspot at least once per week is required. Smartphones and data plans will be provided to those individuals who are eligible but do not currently own a device capable of running the Fitbit app. - Availability of a family member or friend to be present (for safety) during the remote assessment of physical performance tests - Willingness to be randomized to either study arm and to wear activity trackers Exclusion Criteria: - Adults not able to consent - Severe impairments (in seeing or hearing) or pre-existing medical limitations for engaging in daily light physical activity (e.g., severe orthopedic conditions, pending hip/knee replacement, dementia, oxygen dependent, chronic vertigo) - Paid employment or volunteer position for greater than 20 hours per week (to avoid potential confounding by occupation activity/inactivity) - Currently participating in a program (personal program, e.g., wearing an activity monitor, or structured program, e.g., another study) to decrease sedentary time or increase physical activity - Planning to move out of New Mexico within the next year

Intervention

Behavioral:
Fitbit Intervention
Participants receive a Fitbit activity tracker and the free Fitbit smartphone app. A trained health coach provides technical support to set up and use the Fitbit and app. The health coach also provides motivational counseling to help participants to gradually increase the number of steps per day during the 12-weeks.
