A Prolonged Nightly Fasting for Men on ADT for PCa
Sponsor: Thomas Jefferson University
Summary
This small study tested a 3-month text-based health coaching program for men with prostate cancer on hormone therapy. The program was feasible and well accepted, with participants showing good engagement and some improvements in weight and quality of life. However, differences between groups were not statistically significant, so larger studies are needed to confirm the benefits.

Prolonged Nightly Fasting (PNF+)
participants will be invited to participate in weekly counseling calls with a trained health coach and will be encouraged to fast at least 12 hours nightly, gradually increasing to 16 hours. This will be complemented by an interactive TXT system. Participants will interact with the study platform, to report when they begin and end their overnight fasting as well as their sleep pattern data. The platform will provide positive reinforcement messages when their fasting goal is successfully met as well as guidance and tips for fasting.
Healthy Diet Text Messaging
Healthy Diet Group will receive general messages about healthy diet derived from AICR.
