About this study

The Trial Assessing Light-Intensity Exercise on the Health of Older Breast Cancer Survivors pilot randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the efficacy of a home-based, light-intensity physical activity intervention among 56 obese, older adult breast cancer survivors, in comparison to a usual care control condition.

Read the detailed description

The investigators will recruit 56 obese, older adult breast cancer survivors at least 1 year, and up to 10 years post-breast cancer treatment, and randomize them to either a 15 week light-intensity physical activity intervention, or usual care group.

Intervention: The participants will receive weekly support calls, and instructed to increase their light-intensity physical activity, to achieve at least 150 minutes per week. The frequency, intensity, time, and type of physical activity will be modified to maximize adherence and compliance. The support calls developed for this trial target older adults' capabilities, opportunities, and motivations for physical activity.

What participants receive

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

  • Physical ActivityBehavioural

    The physical activity program will focus on increasing physical activity, starting with a target of 100 minutes per week. The session durations will build over time to 150 minutes per week. Participants will be instructed to walk, or engage in other forms of light-intensity physical activity to achieve these goals. Participants will be instructed on the use of the ratings of perceived exertion scale (6-20). As the participants' health and fitness status improves, frequency, intensity, and session duration will be modified accordingly during weekly support calls. As participants will enter the study engaging in varying levels of physical activity, goals will be responsive to the most recent week's achieved minutes.

  • Usual CareOther

    Participants in the usual care group will receive no intervention

    The Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test is a simple and effective method of screening for unhealthy alcohol use, defined as risky or hazardous consumption or any alcohol use disorder. A score of 8 or more is associated with harmful or hazardous drinking, a score of 13 or more in women, and 15 or more in men, is likely to indicate alcohol dependence.

    Measured: Baseline

  42. Telephone Interview for Cognitive Status

    The Telephone Interview for Cognitive Status is a brief, standardized test of cognitive functioning that was developed for use in situations where in-person cognitive screening is impractical or inefficient. The Telephone Interview for Cognitive Status will be used to screen for moderate-to-severe cognitive impairment. Scores 20 of lower indicate moderate-to-severe cognitive impairment

    Measured: Baseline

    The proportion of older adults who agree to participate among those deemed eligible.

    Measured: Baseline

  45. Feasibility-the proportion of older adults who complete at least 50% of the physical activity intervention

    The percentage of those randomized to the physical activity intervention that complete at least 50% of the physical activity intervention. Participants will be instructed by a project manager during weekly support calls to accumulate a specific amount of physical activity each week. Participants who self-report completing at least 50% of the physical activity, determined by the physical activity log, will be deemed compliant.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Physical Activity in people with Inflammation and Cognitive Impairment, run by Milton S. Hershey Medical 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 10 inclusion and 8 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 Jan 2025. 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?

Markers of inflammation: C-reactive protein (time frame: Baseline). 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 15 Jan 2025.
