About this study

Official title: Tele-rehabilitation Following Curative Intent Therapy of Lung Cancer

This is a pilot randomized study to investigate the feasibility, acceptability, safety, and effects of a novel tele-rehabilitation intervention for stage I-IIIA lung cancer survivors following curative intent therapy.

The specific aims and hypotheses are:

Specific Aim 1: Conduct a pilot, phase IIb, parallel randomized (1:1) study to investigate the feasibility, acceptability, and safety of inspiratory muscle training and behavioral support to promote walking in tele-rehabilitation with stage I-IIIA lung cancer survivors following curative intent therapy (N=40).

Hypothesis 1a: ≥ 20% eligible patients will enroll; ≥75% of participants will achieve ≥75% adherence to the tele-rehabilitation program.

Hypothesis 1b: ≥75% of participants will perceive tele-rehabilitation as acceptable (Telemedicine Satisfaction and Usefulness Questionnaire ≥4). There will be 0 intervention adverse events.

Specific Aim 2: Explore the effects of the tele-rehabilitation program (N=40).

Hypothesis 2: At 12 weeks, participants in the tele-rehabilitation (experimental) arm, compared to education only (control) arm, will have a trend of greater improvements in outcomes, including:

  1. accelerometry-measured physical activity (primary outcome); and
  2. functional capacity, self-reported physical activity, control of dyspnea and anxiety symptoms, sleep quality, and quality of life (secondary outcomes).

What participants receive

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

  • Tele-rehabilitationBehavioural

    The tele-rehabilitation intervention will include education, inspiratory muscle training, and behavioral support to promote walking.

  • Education onlyOther

    The education only arm will receive information on the importance of general exercise following lung cancer treatment.

Tele-rehabilitationExperimentalParticipants in the tele-rehabilitation arm will receive a home-based, remotely delivered rehabilitation program.
Receives: Behavioral: Tele-rehabilitation
Education onlyActive comparatorParticipants in the education arm will receive educational materials only, delivered through telecommunication messages.
Receives: Other: Education only

What is being measured

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

  1. Difference in change in accelerometry-measured physical activity between baseline and week 12

    Physical activity will be measured by the activPAL4 device (PAL Technologies, Ltd).

    Measured: Baseline, mid study (week 6), and end of study (week 12).

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Difference in change in functional capacity between baseline and week 12

    Functional capacity will be measured using the mobile six-minute walk test.

    Measured: Baseline, mid study (week 6), and end of study (week 12)

  2. Difference in change in self-reported physical activity between baseline and week 12

    Self-reported physical activity will be measured using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire - Short Form

    Measured: Baseline, mid study (week 6), and end of study (week 12)

  3. Difference in change in control of dyspnea between baseline and week 12

    Dyspnea control will be measured using the the University of California, San Diego Shortness of Breath Questionnaire.

    Measured: Baseline, mid study (week 6), and end of study (week 12)

  4. Difference in change in anxiety symptoms between baseline and week 12

    Anxiety symptoms will be measured using the General Anxiety Disorder-7

    Measured: Baseline, mid study (week 6), and end of study (week 12)

  5. Difference in change in sleep quality between baseline and week 12

    Sleep quality will be measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index

    Measured: Baseline, mid study (week 6), and end of study (week 12)

  6. Difference in change in quality of life between baseline and week 12

    Quality of life will be measured using the St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire

    Measured: Baseline, mid study (week 6), and end of study (week 12)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Tele-rehabilitation and Education only in people with Lung Neoplasm, run by Kaiser Permanente 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 7 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 13 Dec 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?

Difference in change in accelerometry-measured physical activity between baseline and week 12 (time frame: Baseline, mid study (week 6), and end of study (week 12).). 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 NCT05059132, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 13 Dec 2023.
