Trial summary

Electronic activity monitoring (EAM) devices are wearable electronic devices that monitor functional activity and provide personal feedback on activity progression. This study aims to determine if EAM can provide an objective, assessment of patient functional activity. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Beyond Performance Status: Electronic Activity Monitoring to Assess Functional Activity of Patients With Gastrointestinal Malignancy During Chemotherapy

Electronic activity monitoring (EAM) devices are wearable electronic devices that monitor functional activity and provide personal feedback on activity progression. This study aims to determine if EAM can provide an objective, assessment of patient functional activity. The study will also examine the change in functional activity experienced by patients during the first cycle of chemotherapy. Another objective of the study will be to see if baseline functional activity and the change in functional activity that occurs during the first cycle of chemotherapy can be used to predict patient tolerability of subsequent cycles of chemotherapy.

What participants receive

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

  • Electronic Activity Monitoring (EAM)Device

    All registered patients will receive a wearable EAM device that will measure their physical activity. Patients will wear this device around their wrist for the designated period of assessment. The EAM device has the potential to measure active minutes, number of steps, distance walked and number of floors climbed. For the purpose of this study the EAM data captured will focus on daily step count.

  • Daily QuestionnaireBehavioural

    Participants will be asked to complete this self-administered, paper-based questionnaire each day that they are expected to wear the EAM device. The questionnaire was designed specifically for the purpose of this study. It consists of 5 items that ask about the patient's perceived level of physical activity and fatigue in each 24 hour period that they have worn the EAM device. The daily questionnaires will be optional; however each participant will be encouraged to complete them.

Study groups in NCT02909062
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Electronic Activity Monitoring (EAM)This is a prospective, observational study. The study aims to examine the role of EAM as an objective, assessment of patient fitness in patients receiving chemotherapy for gastrointestinal malignancy. Physical activity level measured by EAM will be compared with standard measurement tools used by the oncology community to predict chemotherapy tolerability.
Receives: Device: Electronic Activity Monitoring (EAM); Behavioral: Daily Questionnaire

What is being measured

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

  1. EAM Max Step-count On-Chemotherapy - EAM Max Step-count Pre-Chemotherapy

    change in physical activity between pre-chemotherapy and on-chemotherapy by counting the steps

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Gastrointestinal Cancer, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center at 6 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 3 inclusion and 4 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 25 Aug 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 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 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?

EAM Max Step-count On-Chemotherapy - EAM Max Step-count Pre-Chemotherapy (time frame: 1 year). 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 25 Aug 2020.
