Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The purpose of this study is to test whether four different supportive care programs can reduce fatigue in women with advanced or metastatic breast cancer who are receiving a medication called a CDK4/6 inhibitor (palbociclib, ribociclib, or abemaciclib) alongwith endocrine therapy with or without a PI3K or AKT inhibitor.

- type
- EXPERIMENTAL
- label
- Prolonged Overnighting Fasting Alone (POF Alone) Group
- description
- Participants in this group will undergo a 12-week program of prolonged overnight fasting (POF), and weekly session with a trained health coach. Sessions may be delivered in-person, by telephone or by video call. Participants will receive a Fitbit (activity monitor). Participants will also complete health-related quality of life questionnaires, and undergo blood sample collection at designated study timepoints. Total participant duration is about 12 months.

- ACTIVE_COMPARATOR
- label
- Exercise Alone (EXE Alone) Group
- description
- Participants in this group will undergo a 12-week exercise program during three weekly sessions supervised by a trained health coach. Sessions may be delivered in-person, or virtually via telehealth. Participants will receive a Fitbit (activity monitor). Participants will receive exercise equipment (resistance bands, adjustable dumbbells, and a stationary aerobic bike) free of charge and may keep it after the study's completion. Participants will also complete health-related quality of life questionnaires, and undergo blood sample collection at designated study timepoints. Total participant duration is about 12 months.

Having not consistently (not equal to or more than 50% of the time) engaged in more than 90 minutes of moderate or 45 minutes of vigorous physical activity per week over the past 3 months 8. Having not consistently engaged in resistance training 2 or more days per week over the past 3 months 9. Having not consistently (not equal to or more than 50% of the time) engaged in structured fasting (i.e., not regularly fasting for ≥12hr/night) for the past 3 months 10. Approval from a medical oncology provider to participate. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Unable to provide consent 2. Unable to read or understand English or Spanish 3. Dependent on supplemental oxygen 4.

Regularly maintaining a shiftwork schedule, i.e. working evening shifts, night shifts, or rotating shifts in the last 3 months 8. History of a clinical eating disorder 9. Unstable bone metastases 10. More than 90 days since initiation of endocrine therapy in combination with 1) a CDK4/6 inhibitor, with or without HER2-directed therapy, or 2) a CDK 4/6 inhibitor in combination with a PI3K/AKT inhibitor, in the metastatic or locally advanced. 11. Presence of a severe medical condition or psychiatric condition or medications that would preclude participation of the study intervention.
