- Brief Summary
This trial tests an online nutrition education program focused on decreasing nutrition-related side effects of chemotherapy in patients with breast cancer. Patients undergoing chemotherapy are at risk for complications such as diarrhea or constipation which can lead to poor nutritional intake and malabsorption of nutrients. This study is testing the effects of information delivered via the Cook for Your Life website in conjunction with standard clinical care to improve symptom management during chemotherapy treatment for breast cancer, which could serve as a new model for supportive oncology care.
- Detailed Description
OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.
ARM I: Patients receive standard of care consisting of symptom monitoring, scheduled nurse visits, and access to current Cook for Your Life website.
ARM II: Patients receive standard of care as in Arm I and access to enhanced Cook for Your Life information on symptom management.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Acceptability of cook for your life website will be measured via an exit interview ~4 months Participant acceptability of cook for your life website will be assessed via a short semi-structured exit interview.
Accrual rate ~4 months Accrual rate to the study.
Use of cook for your life website pages (adherence: visiting website) will be measured via Google analytics ~4 months Google analytics will be used to identify whether participants visit the website.
Time of use of cook for your life website (adherence: time per webpage) will be measured via Google analytics ~4 months Google analytics will be used to measure time spent per webpage visited.
Use of cook for your life website pages (adherence: webpages viewed) will be measured via Google analytics ~4 months Google analytics will be used to identify what webpages participants view.
Time of use of cook for your life website (adherence: total time) will be measured via Google analytics ~4 months Google analytics will be used to measure how much total time spent on the website.
User pathways of cook for your life website (adherence) will be measured via Google analytics ~4 months Google analytics will be used to determine the order/sequence of webpages participants follow to navigate through the website.
Participant retention will be measured via participants competing surveys at all timepoints ~4 months The number of participants who complete all study activities through the end of chemotherapy.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Incidence of patient-reported nutrition-related adverse events ~4 months Patient-reported nutrition-related adverse events assessed via the chemotherapy patient reported outcome (PRO) tool.
Number of participants with treatment delays and causes of delays ~4 months Treatment delays and causes of delays as assessed via chart abstraction
Change in dose ~4 months Assessed via chart abstraction.
Change in weight ~4 months Weight change as assessed via chart abstraction.
Delivered dose of planned treatment ~4 months Assessed via chart abstraction.
Medication adherence assessed via chart abstraction ~4 months Participant medication usage assessed via chart abstraction to note medications including anti-emetics, proton pump inhibitors, anti-depressants, and anti-anxiety medication.
Quality of life as assessed via The Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS)-Global ~4 months The PROMIS Global scale contains 10 items that measure self-reported physical, mental, and social health. Each question is scored on a 1 - 5 scale with a total score range of 4 - 20. Higher scores indicate better overall health.
