Breast Cancer Clinical Trial
Every Day Counts: A Lifestyle Program for Women With Metastatic Breast Cancer
Summary
The Study will examine the feasibility and acceptability of a randomized trial in 40 women with clinically stable MBC to participate in a cognitive behavioral lifestyle intervention based on the American Cancer Society's (ACS) cancer survivorship guidelines for nutrition and physical activity. The Investigator will use dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry or DXA to document intervention effects on body composition; and the Investigator will also examine patient reported outcomes, mitochondrial function and biomarkers of prognosis/survival.
Full Description
Aims/Objectives
AAim 1. To examine the efficacy of the Every Day Counts intervention in producing significant post-intervention changes in multidimensional QOL in women with MBC.
Hypothesis 1: Women randomized to the immediate EDC intervention (n=88) will exhibit greater improvements in multidimensional QOL compared to women randomized to the attention control (n=88).
Aim 2. To investigate the mechanistic effects of the Every Day Counts intervention on body composition, adipokines, serum biomarkers of inflammation and insulin sensitivity.
Hypothesis 2: The EDC intervention leads to improved QOL through mediating factors including body composition, prognostic serum biomarkers of inflammation and/or insulin resistance.
Exploratory Aim 3: To explore if microRNA (miRNA) signatures associated with inflammation and/or Metabolomics are altered with the EDC intervention.
Hypothesis: miRNAs identified in our pilot study (miR-10a-5p, miR-205-5p, and miR-211-5p) that regulate inflammation and/or Metabolomics will be related to QOL improvements and can identify women more likely to respond to lifestyle changes.
