About this study

Official title: Determining the Feasibility of Post-Operative Training for Patients Diagnosed With Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Primary Objective: To examine the effects of an exercise training program on cardiopulmonary fitness in early-stage postoperative non-small cell lung cancer patients undergoing adjuvant chemotherapy

Secondary Objectives:

Determine patients' adherence levels to such a program during adjuvant chemotherapy Explore the effects of exercise training on treatment compliance and toxicity, and quality of life.

To explore the effects of exercise training on markers of inflammation (e.g., c-reactive protein, immune response) in patients undergoing adjuvant chemotherapy for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer

Read the detailed description

Using a single-group, prospective design, potential participants will be identified and screened for eligibility by the PI (LWJ) via medical record review of patients scheduled for their primary adjuvant chemotherapy consultation at DUMC and Durham VA. As a routine part of clinical care, during the treatment consultation the attending oncologist will perform a physical examination to screen for cardiovascular risk factors, the results of which will be recorded in the patients' medical records. Immediately following their consultation and oncologist approval, potential participants will be provided with a thorough review of the study by the principal investigator (LJ) and asked if they are willing to participate. Interested participants will be given an information package that provides further information on study participation. Two to five days following their treatment consultation and prior to the initiation of chemotherapy, interested participants will be contacted by telephone by the PI to answer any questions and to schedule the baseline assessment visit. At the baseline visit, participants will be asked to sign the informed consent and will be given a copy for their records. After consent, they will be given a baseline ECG and physician monitored cardiopulmonary exercise test (stress test) to screen for undiagnosed cardiovascular disease. Following the successful completion of baseline assessments, all participants will be scheduled for their initial exercise training session. Finally, on a different group of patients we will perform a random retrospective medical chart review of 50 completely-resected NSCLC patients who received usual care (i.e., no exercise training) during the study period to obtain comparative information on the treatment toxicity/compliance rate. The chart review will be performed by Drs. Jones, Garst and Crawford and will assess treatment toxicity and compliance over the entire course of adjuvant chemotherapy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Exercise in people with Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Duke University 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 5 inclusion and 17 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 28 Oct 2013. 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?

ECG stress test (time frame: 8 weeks, 16 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 28 Oct 2013.
