E-PROOF Trial Summary

This trial tests if online diet & exercise help older cancer survivors improve physical function & health outcomes.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for older cancer survivors (65+ years) who've had stage I-III breast, colorectal, or prostate cancer and finished treatment. They must have some physical function limitations but no progressive disease or other cancers. It's not for those on current cancer treatments, with liver/renal issues affecting protein intake, under a dietitian's care, in other diet/exercise studies, or unable to exercise without help.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The E-PROOF Trial tests an online program combining dietary guidance from dietitians and resistance training led by exercise scientists to see if it improves the physical function of older cancer survivors. The focus is on enhancing protein intake and quality of diet while engaging participants in home-based exercises.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves dietary changes and resistance training rather than medication, side effects may include muscle soreness from exercise or digestive changes due to new eating habits.
