IDEA-P Trial Summary

This trial is studying whether intensive diet and exercise is more effective than standard of care in improving physical function and quality of life in prostate cancer patients undergoing androgen deprivation therapy.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for men with stage IV prostate cancer starting androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). They must lead a sedentary lifestyle, have no active cardiovascular disease, and be medically cleared to exercise. Participants need consent from their oncologist and primary care physician or cardiologist.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study compares intensive diet and exercise against the standard of care in improving physical function and quality of life for prostate cancer patients on ADT. It's not clear yet if this approach is better than usual treatment.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed, intensive dieting and exercising may cause muscle soreness, fatigue, dietary deficiencies if not properly managed, or exacerbate pre-existing health conditions.

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Arm I (diet and exercise intervention)Experimental Treatment6 Interventions
EXERCISE COMPONENT: Patients undergo 1 hour of monitored intensive exercise comprising 30 minutes of aerobic exercise and 30 minutes of resistance exercise twice weekly during weeks 1-6, once weekly during weeks 7-8, and independently during weeks 7-12. All patients will complete a comprehensive exercise and quality-of-life assessment at baseline, month 2 and month 3. BEHAVIORAL ACTIVITY COUNSELING: Patients undergo behavioral activity counseling in small group sessions over 20 minutes once weekly during months 1-2 and individualized activity counseling via telephone calls over 20 minutes every 2 weeks for 3 months. Counseling will include questionnaire administration. BEHAVIORAL DIETARY INTERVENTION: Patients undergo nutritional counseling over 30 minutes once weekly during months 1-2 and then every 2 weeks via telephone calls during month 3.
Group II: Arm II (standard of care)Active Control2 Interventions
TELEPHONE BASED COUNSELING: Patients receive standard care and educational literature describing the American Institute of Cancer Research dietary and physical activity guidelines. Patients also receive phone calls over 20 minutes every 2 weeks for 3 months focusing on routine prostate cancer self-management. After 3 months, patients have the option to undergo 2 supervised exercise training and dietary counseling sessions. All patients will complete a comprehensive exercise and quality-of-life assessment at baseline, month 2 and month 3.
