Trial summary

Falls are common and catastrophic in cancer patients. Cancer patients are vulnerable to falls due to muscle loss. In prescribing exercise in a data driven manner to cancer patients, our hypothesis is this "prescription" for exercise will eventually be demonstrated to reduce the occurrence of injurious falls.

What participants receive

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

  • PedometerOther

    Participants will wear a pedometer for 4 days at baseline, and 4-6 weeks later. Baseline readings will be used to derive an individualized exercise program for each participant based on the assigned experimental arm.

  • ActigraphOther

    Participants will wear a Actigraph for 4 days at baseline and 4-6 weeks later. Baseline readings will be used to derive an individualized exercise program for each participant based on the assigned experimental arm.

  • Perturbation TreadmillOther

    Participants will walk on an instrumented treadmill while wearing a safety harness at baseline and 4-6 weeks later. The perturbation treadmill will assess an individual's risk for falling. Baseline readings will be used to derive an individualized exercise program for each participant based on the assigned experimental arm.

What is being measured

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

  1. ABC Activities Specific Balance Confidence Scale (exploratory outcome)

    Patient Reported Outcome 0% No confidence, 100% Complete Confidence, higher score= better outcome

    Measured: Change from baseline ABC scale at 4-6 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Pedometer, Actigraph and Perturbation Treadmill in people with Cancer, run by Mayo Clinic 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 2 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 15 Oct 2024. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

ABC Activities Specific Balance Confidence Scale (exploratory outcome) (time frame: Change from baseline ABC scale at 4-6 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 15 Oct 2024.
