About this study
Official title: Physical Activity in Patients With Cancer: Epidemiological Study of Patients' Beliefs and Promotional Messages Efficiency
Study 1:
The investigator hypothesizes that the level of knowledge about the benefits of physical activity, physical activity level and physical fatigue level observed in cancer patients, would influence their beliefs about physical activity and their intention to engage in AP.
Read the detailed description
Study 2:
Because of a recent research, it is shown that a narrative message from a peer generates an identification, a sense of self-efficacy and intention to practice in sedentary patients with breast cancer.
The investigator hypothesize that a promotional message about physical activity, issued by a self-determined peer (intrinsic motivation), compared to a non-self-determined peer (extrinsic motivation), generate higher scores of positive beliefs about physical activity and intention to engage in a physical activity program for sedentary patients.
These promotional messages will be delivered through two videos, one featuring the self-determined pair, the other featuring the non-self-determined pair.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Intrinsic Physical activity motivationOther
Physical activity promotion message delivered by a self-determined peer [PAD] (intrinsic motivation)
Extrinsic Physical activity motivationOther
Physical activity promotion message delivered by a non-self-determined peer [PNAD] (extrinsic motivation)
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Study 2 IM | Other | Intrinsic Motivation Receives: Other: Intrinsic Physical activity motivation |
| Study 2 EM | Other | Extrinsic Motivation Receives: Other: Extrinsic Physical activity motivation |
| Study 1 | No intervention | Psychometric measures: "Cancer Beliefs and Exercise Scale (CaBES)" |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Cancer Beliefs and Exercise Scale - CaBES
CaBES scores were only collected for Study 2 to evaluate the impact of randomized experimental conditions (IM vs. EM messages) on psychological barriers. The scale measures 5 dimensions of exercise-related beliefs: motivation (MOT), self-efficacy (AUTOEFF), treatment side effects (EFFSEC), benefits (BEN), and risks (RIS). Each dimension score ranges from a minimum of 1 to a maximum of 6. Higher values represent a better outcome (1 indicates the lowest level and 6 indicates the highest level).
Measured: Post-intervention on Day 1
Secondary outcomes (2)
Perceived Similarity Between the Peer and the Patient.
Evaluation of the identification with the character in the video using 3 items adapted from McQueen and Kreuter (1999). Scores range from 1 to 6, with higher scores indicating stronger perceived similarity.
Measured: Day 1 : Time 2 (Post-intervention).
Perceived Physical Capacity (Self-Efficacy).
Assessment of the patient's perceived physical capabilities based on Bandura's (1997) Self-Efficacy Theory. Measured using 3 items. Scores range from 1 to 6, with higher scores indicating higher perceived capacity.
Measured: Day 1 : Time 2 (Post-intervention)

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 4 inclusion and 2 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 2 Jul 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 France. 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?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 2 Jul 2026). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
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?
Cancer Beliefs and Exercise Scale - CaBES (time frame: Post-intervention on Day 1). 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 2 Jul 2026.
