Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Number of Participants Retained During the 12 Week Technology Supported Physical Activity Intervention Period

    Feasibility will be assessed via participant retention during the intervention period \[(# of participants randomized- # of participants who drop out or are lost to follow-up)/ # randomized\].

    12 weeks

  • Adherence to a 12 Week Technology Supported Physical Activity Intervention by Metastatic Breast Cancer Patients

    Adherence during the 12 week intervention will be monitored continuously using Fit2ThriveMB app. This measure the average percentage of days each participant in the Fit2ThriveMB intervention group wore the Fitbit.

    12 weeks

  • Acceptability of a 12 Week Technology Supported Physical Activity Intervention to Metastatic Breast Cancer Patients

    Acceptability will be measured via a process evaluation of perceptions of MBC patients' experiences with Fit2ThriveMB. Acceptability will be measured as the number of intervention participants who are satisfied/very satisfied with their overall study experience.

    12 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (12)

  • Change in Physical Activity Minutes From Before to After a 12 Week Technology Supported Physical Activity Intervention in Metastatic Breast Cancer Patients

    Baseline and 12 weeks

  • Change in Quality of Life From From Baseline to 12-weeks

    Baseline and 12 weeks

  • Change in Anxiety From Baseline to 12-weeks

Study Arms (2)

Fit2ThriveMB

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants assigned to the Fit2ThriveMB will receive the Fit2ThriveMB smartphone app, Fitbit, and coaching calls.

Behavioral: Fit2ThriveMB AppBehavioral: FitbitBehavioral: Physical Activity Coaching Calls

Healthy Living Control

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Participants in the healthy living group will receive the American Society of Cancer Oncologists smartphone app, cancer.net. They will also receive calls during the intervention period and the Fitbit following completion of 12 week assessments

Behavioral: Healthy Living Coaching CallsBehavioral: Cancer.net app

Interventions

The Fit2thriveMB app will encourage participants to increase their physical activity. Participants will be provided with educational information on physical activity and effective behavior change strategies for incorporating more physical activity into their daily lives to increase their step count. Participants will be prompted each morning to report the intensity of their symptom burden (0 to 10). Based on their symptom rating and their previous day's step counts, participants will be provided with three different options or levels of goals for that day to either increase or decrease 10-20% or remain constant.

Fit2ThriveMB
FitbitBEHAVIORAL

The Fitbit measures PA intensity, steps, and heart rate and syncs directly with the smartphone and will automatically sync with the Fit2ThriveMB app and provide Fitbit data to the study team in real-time.

Fit2ThriveMB

Participants will receive weekly coaching calls which will: a) provide feedback on the previous week's symptom burden and progress on PA goals; b) review personalized goals and strategies for increasing PA for the next week; c) provide instruction on effective behavioral change techniques

Fit2ThriveMB

Participants will receive weekly calls that will cover health and well-being topics for instance: symptom and stress management, healthy diet, hydration, sun safety, sleep hygiene, and meditation.

Healthy Living Control
Cancer.net appBEHAVIORAL

Cancer.net app content includes information about health and well-being, treatment guidelines specific to cancer type, symptom tracking and medication tracking
