Trial summary

Because of advances in drug treatment, people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) are living longer, but are also at greater risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and diabetes. Exercise and increased physical activity can reduce the risk factors for these diseases in PLWHA, but no studies have tested an at-home exercise… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Home-based Exercise for Management of HIV-associated Cardiovascular Disease

Because of advances in drug treatment, people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) are living longer, but are also at greater risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and diabetes. Exercise and increased physical activity can reduce the risk factors for these diseases in PLWHA, but no studies have tested an at-home exercise program that would benefit low income people and others who do not have access to exercise facilities. This study will test the feasibility of an at-home exercise program for PLWHA and prepare for a full-scale intervention study, which may lead to a reduction in CVD risk among PLWHA.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Physical Activity GroupBehavioural

    9 months of home based physical activity meeting HHS recommendations for physical activity for all americans

  • Standard Care GroupOther

    No intervention, the group will be followed under their standard medical care.

What is being measured

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

  1. Amount of Physical Activity

    Accelerometer data will be the primary means of determining the participants' physical activity levels. Participants will be instructed to wear the accelerometer at baseline, 4 months, and 9 months. The participants will be required to wear the accelerometer during the waking hours for seven consecutive days. Data from participants with at least four days and at least 10 hours per day will be included.

    Measured: 9 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Cardiorespiratory Fitness

    Each participant will complete a graded exercise stress test (GXT) with indirect calorimetry. This test will be used to screen for abnormal physiological responses to exercise and for determining the participant's maximal ability to utilize oxygen (an index of cardiorespiratory fitness).

    Measured: 9 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Physical Activity Group in people with Cardiovascular Diseases and Hyperlipidemia, run by University of South Carolina at 2 sites in United States.

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 8 inclusion and 9 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Apr 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Amount of Physical Activity (time frame: 9 months). 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 NCT01377064, 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 28 Apr 2021.
