About this study

In plain language

This study tests whether an iPhone app and coaching can help teens and young adults lose weight after a stem cell transplant. It also looks at helping them build healthy eating habits.

This early phase I trial studies how well a behavioral weight loss intervention consisting of a smartphone application and coaching works for the promotion of weight loss in adolescents and young adults after a stem cell transplant. This study may help researchers learn more about how adolescents and young adults can lose weight and develop healthy eating habits.

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.

Eligibility

Who can join

  • Had any type of stem cell transplant at least 100 days before the first study visit.
  • Have a body mass index (BMI), a measure of weight compared with height, at or above the 85th percentile for their age and gender. This is the study's weight cutoff.
  • Can read English, since the app is only in English.
  • No medical condition automatically rules someone out. The study team will decide case by case if a person's ability to take part is too limited.
  • For parents taking part: their child must meet all entry rules.
  • For parents taking part: must be at least 18 years old and able to speak English.

Who can't join

  • Had a transplant less than 100 days before the first study visit. They may qualify at a later visit if more than 100 days have passed and the study is still enrolling.
  • BMI does not meet the study's weight cutoff.

Simplified for readability. The official criteria below are what the study team uses.
