About this study

Official title: A Randomized Trial Assessing the Effects of Exercise on Patients With Locally Advanced Lung Cancer Undergoing Curative Intent Combined Modality Therapy

RATIONALE: Pulmonary rehabilitation education and exercise training may improve physical function and quality of life in patients who are receiving treatment for lung cancer.

PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying pulmonary rehabilitation education and exercise training to see how well they work compared to exercise training alone in improving physical function and quality of life in patients who are undergoing chemotherapy and radiation therapy for locally advanced lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Compare improvement in physiologic function, in terms of exercise tolerance, in patients with inoperable locally advanced lung cancer undergoing chemoradiotherapy and randomized to pulmonary rehabilitation comprising education with vs without supervised exercise training.
  • Compare the health-related quality of life, in terms of multidimensional functioning and patient perception of respiratory difficulties, in patients undergoing these pulmonary rehabilitation interventions.

OUTLINE: This is a randomized, multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to Zubrod performance status (0-1 vs 2); FEV_1 (≥ 70% of predicted vs < 70% of predicted); and smoking status* (never smoked or former smoker vs current smoker). Approximately 20 weeks into treatment on SWOG-S0023, patients are randomized to 1 of 2 intervention arms.

NOTE: * Never smoked is defined as < 100 cigarettes in a lifetime and former smoker is defined as no smoking for ≥ 1 year.

  • Arm I: Patients participate in a supervised structured exercise program (i.e., walking on a treadmill OR using a stationary exercise bicycle) 3 times a week for 12 weeks. Patients also receive educational materials on how to improve breathing and conserve energy.
  • Arm II: Patients receive educational materials as in arm I. In both arms, patients undergo exercise testing using 6-minute walks to measure exercise tolerance at initial evaluation (after randomization but prior to intervention), 12 weeks, and then at 6 and 9 months.

In both arms, intervention continues in the absence of disease progression or the development of other medical conditions that would preclude study participation.

Quality of life is assessed at baseline, 12 weeks, and then at 6 and 9 months.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 164 patients (82 per treatment arm) will be accrued for this study.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Exercise tolerance

    comparison between the control and intervention arms in the percent change in the 6-minute walk distance between baseline and 6 months.

    Measured: Baseline and at 6 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Health-related quality of life

    The difference in total score between pre-study and 6 months for the FACT-L Quality of Life measure.

    Measured: Baseline and at 6 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing educational intervention and supervised exercise program in people with Lung Cancer and Pulmonary Complications, run by SWOG Cancer Research Network at 60 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Nov 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 60 sites in United States. 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Closed early due to poor accrual.). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Exercise tolerance (time frame: Baseline and at 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 Nov 2012.
