Trial summary

Androgen Deprivation Therapy is a commonly used treatment for men with Prostate Cancer. Unfortunately this can lead to functional decline, fatigue, increased body fatness, loss of lean body tissue and impaired QOL. Previous research has demonstrated the exercise can may reduce fatigue and improve QOL in men on ADT. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Exercise in Men Receiving Radiation Therapy for Prostate Cancer: Effects on Fatigue, Toxicity, Body Composition, Muscular Fitness, Cardiorespiratory Fitness and Quality of Life.

Androgen Deprivation Therapy is a commonly used treatment for men with Prostate Cancer. Unfortunately this can lead to functional decline, fatigue, increased body fatness, loss of lean body tissue and impaired QOL. Previous research has demonstrated the exercise can may reduce fatigue and improve QOL in men on ADT. This study will evaluate whether aerobic versus resistance exercise over a 24 week period of training will reduce morbidity and improve QOL in men receiving radiation plus or minus ADT with curative intent

Read the detailed description

A total of 220 men with a diagnosis of prostate cancer, scheduled to receive radiation will be recruited. The study is a parallel 3-group design with groups stratified for intended duration of ADT ( greater or less than 12 weeks) and random assignment to aerobic, resistance or Wait List control groups. The dependent variable of interest will fatigue measured at 24 weeks by the 13 item FACT-Fatigue. Dependent variables of secondary interest will be toxicity of radiation, body composition, muscular fitness, cardio-respiratory fitness, metabolic fitness, and prostate specific QOL. All exercise sessions will be performed 3 times per week at the Ottawa Hospital regional Cancer Center

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Aerobic cardiovascular exercise program and Resistance Exercise Program in people with Prostatic Neoplasms, run by Ottawa Hospital Research Institute at 1 site in Canada.

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 3 inclusion and 5 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 21 Apr 2020. 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 Canada. 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?

Fatigue- FACT F (time frame: 24 weeks). 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 NCT00253916, 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 21 Apr 2020.
