About this study

Official title: Adapted Physical Activity Effect on Aerobic Function and Fatigue in Patients With Breast Cancer Treated in Adjuvant Phase

Physical exercise has been identified as a major item of many chronic diseases and cancer rehabilitation.

Therefore, physical activity for health is a valid and relevant way to improve quality of life and to manage cancer patient fatigue. The aim of the study is the assessment of the effects of a physical activity retraining program on aerobic capacity, strength and fatigue, in a breast cancer population treated by adjuvant chemotherapy.

Read the detailed description

Physical exercise has been identified as a major item of many chronic diseases and cancer rehabilitation. It contributes to an improvement in the quality of life and to a decrease in the current treatment side effects and mortality. Cancer in association with treatment toxicity and an inactive lifestyle lead to a fall in physical capability and causes problems in daily activities. The physical capacity and the tolerance for exercise fall simultaneously leading to a deconditioning vicious circle which increases physical, psychological and emotional symptoms of fatigue. Therefore, physical activity for health is a valid and relevant way to improve quality of life and to manage cancer patient fatigue. The aim of the study is the assessment of the effects of a physical activity retraining program on aerobic capacity, strength and fatigue, in a breast cancer population treated by adjuvant chemotherapy.

A total of 44 subjects is required. The programme is organised as follows: Arm A (aerobic and strength training) and during the 27 weeks of treatment (chemotherapy and radiotherapy); Arm B (control group). This study includes 3 assessments phases (T0: before adjuvant chemotherapy; T1 (week 27) and T2: final evaluation at the 54th week). These assessments include: cardiopulmonary exercise test including maximal oxygen uptake test (VO2max), six-minute walk test, muscular testing, assessment of physical activity (IPAQ questionnaire), fatigue (MFI20 questionnaire), quality of life (EORTC QLQ C30), anxiety and depression symptoms (HADS) and nutritional evaluation: BMI and total body photonic absorption.

What participants receive

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

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Arm A : physical activity programArm A : physical activity program (aerobic and strength training) during the 27 weeks of treatment (chemotherapy and radiotherapy) and conventional follow-up during 27 weeks
Arm B : conventional managementArm B : conventional management during and after treatment

What is being measured

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

  1. main criterion is exercise tolerance at 27 weeks, measured by VO2 max, following a physical activity (PA) programme

    Measured: 27 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Assessment at 27 and 54 weeks between the 2 groups of muscle function.

    Measured: 54 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Breast Cancer, run by University Hospital, Limoges at 1 site in France.

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 7 inclusion and 15 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 Aug 2018. 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 France. 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?

main criterion is exercise tolerance at 27 weeks, measured by VO2 max, following a physical activity (PA) programme (time frame: 27 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 NCT01322412, 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 Aug 2018.
