About this study

Official title: Exercise to Improve Health and Quality-of-Life in Breast Cancer Survivors: A Feasibility Pilot Trial

This randomized pilot trial studies how well exercise works in improving health and quality of life in breast cancer survivors. Participating in an exercise program to maintain physical activity may help to improve health and quality of life in breast cancer survivors.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

  1. To assess the feasibility of conducting a 12-week preference option randomized exercise intervention program in breast cancer survivors.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:

  1. To assess the adherence rate of each of the four 12-week intervention programs by breast cancer survivors in a randomized treatment arm and a patient preference arm.

OUTLINE: Participants are randomized into 1 of 5 arms.

ARM I: Participants wear Fitbit, receive home-based DVD containing instructions to warm-up and cool-down, and walk 10000 steps per day over 12 weeks in order to achieve the 150 minutes per week of moderate intensity exercise. Participants also undergo resistance training by watching the illustration video and completing 6 total blocks of 2-week per block exercise using the Thera-BandR exercise bands.

ARM II: Participants wear Fitbit and receive a XBOX system and the video game to strive for at least 3 50-minute medium or high intensity classes per week over 12 weeks. Participants may also take 20-minute classes or a mixture of 50- and 20-minute classes to meet the target. Participants undergo resistance training as in Arm I.

ARM III: Participants wear Fitbit and attend supervised High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) exercise sessions 3 days per week over 12 weeks. Participants undergo resistance training as in Arm I.

ARM IV: Participants wear Fitbit and attend supervised moderate intensity walking sessions weekly for 50-60 each over 12 weeks. Participants undergo resistance training as in Arm I.

ARM V: Participants wear Fitbit and continue their usual physical activity over 12 weeks.

After completion of study intervention, participants are followed up at 2 weeks and 1 month.

What is being measured

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

  1. Proportion of randomized patients who are still on study at the end of the 12 week intervention

    The feasibility outcomes will be assessed by a multivariable logistic regression model for the relative odds of remaining on the study (ref: not). Each of the active treatment arms will be compared to the control. The model will be supported by the randomized patient set, counting patients who withdraw from the study as feasibility failures. No variable selection steps will be taken; inferences will be based on the estimates and 95% confidence intervals from the full model. Optimism adjusted odds ratio estimates will also be reported, to better inform design of future studies.

    Measured: At 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Adherence rate in each of the active intervention arms

    Will be defined as the proportion of patients on study after 12 weeks who complete ≥ 80% of the intervention activities. One-sided 90% Jeffrey's confidence limits will define a plausible lower limit on the range of values for true (unobserved) feasibility rate for each arm.

    Measured: Up to 12 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Best Practice, Exercise Intervention (home walking program and resistance training) and Exercise Intervention (home-based Zumba program and resistance training) in people with Invasive Breast Carcinoma, run by Roswell Park Cancer Institute 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 4 inclusion and 6 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 1 Sep 2023. 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?

Proportion of randomized patients who are still on study at the end of the 12 week intervention (time frame: At 12 weeks). 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 1 Sep 2023.
