Official title: Cooperative Extension and Cancer Survivorship: Supportive Care Via Cooperative Extension Services (SUCCESS)
Run by University of Oklahoma · NCT06869512 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This program tests a group-based survivorship curriculum delivered through Cooperative Extension to see if it helps adults who finished active cancer treatment improve quality of life and other health outcomes.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults in Oklahoma who have completed active cancer treatment, are not in palliative or hospice care, can travel to group sessions, and are medically cleared per PAR-Q+ are the ideal candidates.
✕Probably not a fit
People currently receiving active cancer treatment, in palliative or hospice care, medically unable to participate, or unable to attend in-person sessions are unlikely to receive benefit from this program.

What this trial studies
The SUCCESS program is delivered by Cooperative Extension Educators in group sessions and the trial measures feasibility, acceptability, and fidelity of that delivery. Aim 1 targets implementation outcomes such as >85% participant attendance and >80% rating the program as acceptable, while Aim 2 compares participants with matched controls to look for preliminary improvements in health-related quality of life using PROMIS Global Health v1.2 and secondary endpoints like financial toxicity. Eligible participants are adults with a prior cancer diagnosis who are post-active treatment, able to attend in-person sessions in Oklahoma, and medically cleared per the PAR-Q+ if needed. Findings will determine whether the program can be implemented through Extension systems and whether it warrants broader testing.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the program could improve survivors' health-related quality of life, psychosocial well-being, and potentially reduce financial strain after treatment.
How similar studies have gone: Community-based survivorship and group self-management programs have produced modest quality-of-life benefits in prior research, though delivery through Cooperative Extension is a relatively novel approach.
