Scientific title | Advancing Survivorship after Cancer: Outcomes Trial |
Study acronym | ASCOT |
Study objectives | The Advancing Survival in Cancer Outcomes Trial (ASCOT) is aimed helping cancer patients adhere to the World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) guidelines for a healthy lifestyle. ASCOT involves a: 1. Lifestyle survey 2. Habit based lifestyle intervention The ASCOT survey will be sent to patients diagnosed with breast, prostate or colorectal cancer in 2012/2013 in an NHS Trust in London or Essex. The survey contains questions on lifestyle (diet, physical activity, alcohol, smoking, sleep and weight), psychosocial outcomes (fatigue and quality of life) and information on advice received, and desire for lifestyle advice (timing, format, type). Patients will also be given the opportunity to participant in the ASCOT trial. The ASCOT trial is an individually randomised controlled trial examining whether a leaflet (with phone consultation and website) that provides the WCRF lifestyle recommendations for lifestyle for cancer survivors, using habit theory to help patients find simple ways to incorporate healthy habits into their routines, can improve lifestyle. |

Intervention | ASCOT is a lifestyle intervention (a leaflet developed in consultation with clinicians and patients, a phone consultation and a website) aimed at helping cancer patients adhere to the World Cancer Research Fund lifestyle guidelines for cancer survivors.

Target number of participants | Planned Sample Size: 5000; UK Sample Size: 5000; Description: We will recruit up to 5000 for the cohort study. We will aim to recruit up to 950 patients into the trial. Based on previous lifestyle trials using a composite score we aim to detect a modest increased in risk index of 0.2 standard deviations at 3 months, and with 80% power and 5% two sided statistical significance we will required around 350 participants in each group. |

Results and Publications
Intention to publish date | 31/12/2024 |
---|---|
Individual participant data (IPD) Intention to share | No |
IPD sharing plan summary | Not expected to be made available |
Publication and dissemination plan | The results of the trial will be disseminated in relevant scientific conferences and meetings. The results will also be written up as paper publications and submitted to scientific, peer reviewed journals. This is planned for the first half of 2018. |
IPD sharing plan | We will not be sharing participant level data as participants have not consented to this, and it would therefore be against data protection legislation. The data will be held at UCL on a data safehaven which uses a walled garden approach to secure data storage. We may share anonymised data after our primary data are published, but only if formally requested so we can control the nature of the analyses. |
