Clinical Trial Summary

This clinical trial studies a mobile health fitness program for adolescent and young adult childhood cancer survivors. Adolescent and young adult childhood cancer survivors are at risk to have negative late effects from treatment and to develop chronic health conditions. A sedentary lifestyle may increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, and early mortality. Physical activity reduces the risk for cardiovascular disease and early mortality, improves cardiorespiratory fitness, muscular fitness, bone health, and body composition, and it is also positively associated with quality of life. Programs and technologies that promote physical activity are important because health behaviors adopted by adolescent and young adult childhood cancer survivors are likely to continue into adulthood. A mobile health fitness application may motivate adolescent and young adult childhood cancer survivors to engage and maintain physical activity.


Clinical Trial Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. Evaluate the feasibility of the technology-enhanced (electronic accelerometer + app + 8 weekly group sessions) fitness program in a pilot randomized clinical trial. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the effectiveness of the technology-enhanced fitness program on participants' cardiorespiratory fitness and muscular fitness. II. Examine the effects of the program on secondary outcomes of health related quality of life (HRQOL) and fatigue. OUTLINE: Participants are randomized to 1 of 2 arms. ARM I (Intervention): Participants attend 8 group meetings weekly, wear an electronic accelerometer, engage in private social support messaging within the app and Facebook private groups, and then use the mobile app for 4 weeks without in-person groups. ARM II (WAITLIST CONTROL [WLC]): After the 6 month assessment, participants receive the FitSurvivor intervention as in arm I. ;
