Behavioral Weight Loss for Cancer Survivors in Maryland: A Trial With Adaptive Interventions
Sponsor: Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins
Summary
The objective of the HELPLINE Weight Loss Program is to determine the comparative effectiveness of two active multi-component, augmented interventions for cancer survivors with overweight or obesity who do not achieve early weight loss goal in the initial intervention period (termed, early non-responders). The core study design is randomized controlled trial with adaptive intervention. 1. CORE Helpline in all participants (first 2 months) 2. Extended Helpline in early responders (additional 6 months) 3. Enhanced Helpline in early non-responders (additional 6 months) 4. Intensive Helpline in early non-responders (additional 6 months)

CORE Helpline
All participants will receive the Core Helpline program (CORE) for 2 months, which includes written weight loss material, use of a smartphone app, weekly text messages and email reminders and 1 optional participant-initiated coaching call per month.
Extended Helpline
Those who achieved 2% weight loss at 2-month, will continue to Extended Helpline, where the participants can continue receiving all CORE resources including1-on-1 coaching through 1 optional participant-initiated call per month for 6 months.
Enhanced Helpline
Those who do not reach 2% weight loss at the end of 2 months will be randomized. Participants will continue to receive all CORE resources plus 1 optional participant-initiated call/month for 6 months. Additionally, the participants will receive 2 individualized coach-scripted feedback emails per month, and the option to receive daily text message reminders.
Intensive Helpline
Those who do not reach 2% weight loss at the end of 2 months will be randomized. Participants will continue to receive all CORE resources plus 2 scheduled coaching calls/month for 6 months. Additionally, the participants will receive 2 individual coach-scripted feedback emails per month, and the option to receive daily text message reminders.
