Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults with invasive brain, head and neck, lung, breast, prostate, gastrointestinal, or gynecologic cancers planned for or receiving curative-intent radiation who have a smartphone, read/write English, and have ECOG 0–2.

Probably not a fit

Patients with metastatic disease, those receiving only palliative treatment, people without a compatible smartphone or who cannot read English, and patients with poorly controlled diabetes are unlikely to benefit from this intervention.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

Adults with specified invasive cancers who are planned for or receiving curative-intent radiation therapy will download and use the RestoreMe mobile application during their treatment course. The app delivers educational content, messaging, and tracking tools for diet, nutrition, and physical activity while usage and engagement are recorded. The study focuses on whether patients consistently use the app throughout treatment and whether it changes patient behaviors and understanding about health. Participants must have a smartphone, read and write English, and meet ECOG performance status 0–2, while metastatic or palliative patients are excluded.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the app could help patients maintain healthier nutrition and activity habits during radiation therapy and improve their overall treatment experience and recovery.

How similar studies have gone: Previous m-health work, including an RCT of an AI pain-monitoring app in oncology that reduced pain and hospitalizations, shows mobile apps can be effective, though apps specifically targeting diet and activity in curative-intent radiation are less well studied.
