What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
PhysiotherapyOther
participant will have 2 x 1h exercise classes per week with a physiotherapist, who will develop individualized plans based on medical history and scan reviews. Participants will be progressively guided through the programme, incrementally increasing in intensity or with modifications based on symptomatic presentation. This will be based on their baseline strength and cardiovascular fitness testing and grounded on evidence-based protocols previously demonstrating an effect in this patient population. Individualised tailored exercise programme which includes strength and conditioning.
Dietitian SupportOther
The main goal of the nutritional intervention is to improve the diet quality of each patient using a standardized nutrition assessment, offering evidence-based diet group education and developing personalized nutrition goals. Participants will be progressively guided through the nutrition education programme; with modifications to the individual's usual diet, thereby recognizing personal eating patterns and preferences, which form the basis for individualized dietary counselling. The dietary counselling identifies the type, amount, and frequency of feeding and specifies the caloric/protein level to attain, together with any restrictions and limited or increased individual dietary components.
Nursing and PsychosocialOther
Nursing, Psycho-oncology, pastoral care and social work-led sessions to inform participants on items including diagnosis shock, acceptance, coping with relationship changes with their partner and their roles, fear of uncertainty and the future, medication management, masculinity (male values being strong, capable, independent), practical management of bills, and household tasks. There will be an inclusion of practical information sessions including health systems information and managing side effects such as urinary symptoms, hot flushes, penile shortening, and loss of body hair.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Physiotherapy, Dietitian Support and Nursing and Psychosocial in people with Survivorship and Prostate Cancer, run by University College Cork at 1 site in Ireland.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 23 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Oct 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Ireland. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Feasibility as assessed by a purposefully designed feasibility questionnaire (time frame: At week 12). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05946993, which also lists 1 linked publication.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 Oct 2026.
