About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Use of an Intelligent Electric Bicycle for Health (VELIS) to Optimize the Return to Physical Activity After a Stay for Effort Retraining in Rehabilitation and Recuperative Care Facilities for Oncology Patients

The purpose of this pilot study is to encourage oncology patients to continue effort retraining after their release from rehabilitation and recuperative care facilities with physical activity sessions and therapeutic education using an intelligent electric bicycle (VELIS)

Read the detailed description

The benefit of physical activity in oncology is now clearly established. Physical activity has its place at all stages of the fight against cancer in primary, secondary and tertiary prevention.

Rehabilitation and recuperative care facilities may be a first step for patients with significant deconditioning, but long-term benefits are essential.

Nevertheless, the post rehabilitation and recuperative care facilities transition period is for these patients a temporary period during which they may loose part of the benefit of effort retraining and physical reconditioning.

The investigators believe that it is necessary to go beyond the "physiological" efficiency to identify and overcome the patient's stereotypes regarding physical activity, to customize and adapt the programs to each patient, and to bring quickly the notion of pleasure and success in the practice of physical activity. Electrically assisted bicycles can reach most of these goals provided that they are adapted.

The objective of this project is to set up and evaluate, thanks to a monocentric pilot study, a process of continuation of exercise retraining through physical activity and therapeutic education sessions for the promotion of physical activity, focusing on the use of electrically assisted bicycles, in continuation of an exercise retraining in rehabilitation and recuperative care facilities.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 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 5 Feb 2020. 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?

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?

Percentage of patients reaching the goal of 150 min equivalent of moderate physical activity per week (600 MET-min/week) (time frame: 4 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 NCT03340857, which also lists 11 linked publications.

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 5 Feb 2020.
