About this study

Official title: Physical Activity After Cancer Treatment (PACT): Pilot Study of Exercise in Stage II-III Breast Cancer Survivors

This pilot trial studies how well exercise intervention after cancer treatment works in improving physical activity in stage II-III breast cancer survivors. An exercise intervention may promote regular physical activity.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Estimate the adherence rate of the experimental exercise program, and deem as feasible if at least 80% of participants complete 80% or more of a 12-week, 180 minute aerobic+resistance training program that combines structured, individualized onsite exercise at the Fred Hutch Prevention Center with at-home exercise.

II. Identify up to 5 circulating micro ribonucleic acid (c-miRNA) biomarkers that show the largest differential change from baseline when comparing levels in the exercise program to those in the Fitbit-activity control condition.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Explore associations between changes in miRNAs and serum biomarkers (IL-6, lipids, adiponectin and leptin, C-reactive protein [CRP]) and physiological outcomes (resting heart rate, blood pressure, 1 repetition max, 6 minute walk, timed up and go test) of the exercise program.

II. Explore changes in the patient-reported outcomes (PRO) in response to the exercise intervention relative to the control group, and finalize measures to use in the design of the phase III clinical trial based on descriptive changes from baseline to follow-ups in the intervention versus (vs.) control groups.

OUTLINE: Participants are randomized into 1 of 2 arms.

ARM 0: Participants wear Fitbit and receive written information on healthy exercise and diet recommendations.

ARM 1: Participants complete exercise program including aerobic and resistance exercises over 60 minutes 3 times per week for 12 weeks. Exercise is supervised all 3 times during weeks 1-2. During weeks 3-12, exercise is supervised 2 times a week, with home-based coaching for an additional 60 minutes a week.

What is being measured

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

  1. Adherence

    Will assess the percent of expected onsite sessions attended by participants as determined by Prevention Center attendance log.

    Measured: Up to 26 weeks

  2. Differential micro ribonucleic acid expression

    Will compare between arms. Descriptive statistics will be provided. Will calculate the log-fold change between baseline measure and post-baseline measure, and the difference in the log-fold change will be calculated between the two arms.

    Measured: At baseline, 13, and 26 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Percent of expected home exercise sessions completed as determined by the home exercise logs for those choosing to not come in for a third weekly session

    Measured: Up to 26 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Exercise Intervention, Informational Intervention and Laboratory Biomarker Analysis in people with Anatomic Stage II Breast Cancer AJCC v8 and Anatomic Stage IIA Breast Cancer AJCC v8, run by Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center at 1 site 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 11 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 22 Jul 2019. 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 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?

Adherence (time frame: Up to 26 weeks). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 22 Jul 2019.
