Study Summary

This trial seeks to improve quality of life for Black & Hispanic/Latino prostate cancer patients through exercise, reduced side effects of ADT & health behavior change tools.

Who is the study for?

The PROWESS trial is for Black and Hispanic/Latino men over 18 with prostate cancer, who've been on ADT for at least three months. Participants should exercise less than 150 minutes per week, have access to a smartphone or computer with Bluetooth, and be fluent in English or Spanish. Those with significant health issues preventing informed consent, current chemotherapy treatment, short prognosis, or unable to do physical activity are excluded.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

PROWESS is a behavioral change intervention aimed at increasing exercise among participants to reduce side effects from ADT and improve their quality of life. It involves using wearable technology and structured support tools integrated into the participant's healthcare routine.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since PROWESS focuses on behavior change rather than medication, typical drug-related side effects aren't expected. However, increased physical activity could lead to muscle soreness or strain especially if participants are not accustomed to regular exercise.
