Trial Description

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.

Eligibility Requirements

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Women

2. Able to provide written informed consent

3. Able to speak, read, and understand English or Spanish

4. Postmenopausal (including concurrent use of ovarian suppression)

5. Diagnosis of ER+ and/or PR+, hormone estrogen receptor-2 (HER-2)- or HER-2+
metastatic or locally advanced unresectable breast cancer

6. Initiation of endocrine therapy in combination with a CDK4/6 inhibitor (e.g.,
palbociclib, ribociclib, or abemaciclib), with or without hormone estrogen
receptor-2 (HER2)-directed therapy (e.g., trastuzumab ± pertuzumab), or in
combination with both a CDK4/6 inhibitor and a Phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) or
Protein kinase B (AKT) inhibitor, within the past 90 days.

a) Participants who switch from one CDK4/6 inhibitor to another due to toxicity or
insurance constraints remain eligible, provided enrollment occurs within 90 days of
initiating the subsequent CDK4/6 inhibitor in the metastatic or locally advanced
setting.

7. 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. Unstable cardiac disease

5. Insulin-dependent diabetes

6. Unable to walk 2 blocks without assistance (excluding canes)

7. 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.
