Overview

The purpose of this study is to test if four different programs (prolonged overnighting fasting alone, exercise alone, a combination of prolonged overnight fasting and exercise, or general health education sessions alone) can reduce fatigue in women with advanced or metastatic breast cancer who are receiving a medication called a cyclin-dependent kinases-4 and 6 (CDK4/6) inhibitor (e.g., palbociclib, ribociclib, or abemaciclib), with or without HER2-directed therapy (e.g., trastuzumab ± pertuzumab), or in combination with both a CDK4/6 inhibitor and a PI3K inhibitor, within the past 90 days.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Women
  2. Able to provide written informed consent
  3. Able to speak, read, and understand English or Spanish
  4. Postmenopausal (including concurrent use of ovarian suppression)
  5. Diagnosis of ER+ and/or PR+, hormone estrogen receptor-2 (HER-2)- or HER-2+ metastatic or locally advanced unresectable breast cancer
  6. Initiation of first-line or second-line endocrine therapy in combination with a CDK4/6 inhibitor (e.g., palbociclib, ribociclib, or abemaciclib), with or without hormone estrogen receptor-2 (HER2)-directed therapy (e.g., trastuzumab ± pertuzumab), or in combination with both a CDK4/6 inhibitor and a Phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor, within the past 90 days.
    1. Prior use of a CDK4/6 inhibitor in the adjuvant setting is permitted; participants must be enrolled within 90 days of starting a CDK4/6 inhibitor for the first or second time in the metastatic or locally advanced setting.
    2. Participants who switch from one CDK4/6 inhibitor to another due to toxicity or insurance constraints remain eligible, provided enrollment occurs within 90 days of initiating the first or second-line CDK4/6 inhibitor in the metastatic or locally advanced setting.
  7. Having not consistently (not equal to or more than 50% of the time) engaged in more

    than 90 minutes of moderate or 45 minutes of vigorous physical activity per week over the past 3 months

  8. Having not consistently engaged in resistance training 2 or more days per week over the past 3 months
  9. Having not consistently (not equal to or more than 50% of the time) engaged in structured fasting (i.e., not regularly fasting for ≥12hr/night) for the past 3 months
  10. Approval from a medical oncology provider to participate.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Unable to provide consent
  2. Unable to read or understand English or Spanish
  3. Oxygen dependent
  4. Unstable cardiac disease
  5. Insulin-dependent diabetes
  6. Unable to walk 2 blocks without assistance (excluding canes)
  7. Regularly maintaining a shiftwork schedule, i.e. working evening shifts, night shifts, or rotating shifts in the last 3 months
  8. History of a clinical eating disorder
  9. Unstable bone metastases
  10. More than 90 days since initiation of first- or second-line endocrine therapy in combination with 1) a CDK4/6 inhibitor, with or without HER2-directed therapy, or 2) a CDK 4/6 inhibitor in combination with a PI3K inhibitor, in the metastatic or locally advanced.
  11. Presence of a severe medical condition or psychiatric condition or medications that would preclude participation of the study intervention.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
