About this study

Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is a common treatment for older men with advanced prostate cancer (PCa) but is associated with numerous deleterious health effects that may accentuate age associated physiological declines.

Decreased lower body muscle mass and strength, cognitive decline, worsen fatigue and progressive loss of BMD following initiating ADT could put prostate cancer survivors at higher risk of impaired physical functioning performance and subsequently developing falls. Otago training is helpful, and one of the most powerful interventions where the original randomized controlled trials reported improvements in functional outcomes and a 35% reduction in falls for frail, high-risk older adults (Shubert et al., 2018). In Egypt, there are little researches about Otago Exercise Program.

In Egypt, there are little researches about Otago Exercise Program.

Exercise is well-known as an economic and key adjuvant treatment in clinical oncology that improves QOL of cancer survivors. Many studies focused on investigating the benefits of exercise interventions on preventing falls and improving physical performance of older adults. Combination of strength and functional balance exercise has been demonstrated as an effective method to improve balance performance, rather than strength training alone

What is being measured

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

  1. Isometric knee muscle strength

    will be used to evaluate knee extension and flexion isometric strength.

    Measured: base line and 24 weeks

  2. Bone mineral density (BMD

    will be used to evaluate Bone mineral density of the lumbar spine (LS) and femoral neck (FN)

    Measured: base line and 24 weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Timed up and go (TUG) test

    will be used to measure basic mobility skills. The measurement outcome for TUG is the time it takes to rise up out of a chair, walk 3 m away from the chair, walk 3 m back to the chair, and return to the seated position

    Measured: base line and 24weeks

  2. Berg Balance Scale (BBS)

    Used to assess the patient ability to balance his /her body during activities and risk of fall

    Measured: base line and 24weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing otago excercises and Medical ADT treatment in people with Prostate, run by MTI University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 3 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 2 Apr 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 Egypt. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Isometric knee muscle strength (time frame: base line and 24 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 2 Apr 2025.
