Exercise and Nutrition for Older Cancer Survivors and Their Support Person: The Vitality Study

Description

This is a multi-center, parallel arm, comparative effectiveness trial to compare the impact of supervised and unsupervised home-based exercise and diet programs on cognitive function and physical function among cancer survivors and support persons.

Participants and support persons in this study will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: Group A: Virtually Supervised Care or Group B: Unsupervised Care. Randomization means a participant is placed into a study group by chance.

The research study procedures include screening for eligibility, in-clinic visits, evaluations of fitness, physical health, diet, and cognitive function, surveys, and questionnaires.

Participation in this study is expected to last 36 months.

It is expected about 1528 people will participate in this research study.

Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) is supporting this research study by providing funding for the study.
