About this study
Official title: Bootcamp During Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy for Breast Cancer "Can we Kick Down Ki-67, Punch Out Insulin Resistance, and Increase Survival?"
This is a randomized, single-site pilot study incorporating one control group. This research involves an exercise group and a non-exercise group (control group).
The patients who are in the exercise group will be enrolled in the Dallas County Women's Adventure Boot Camp. This will require them to undergo exercise training 3 times per week, under the direction of an experienced personal trainer in a group setting. All Boot Camp personal trainers are trained in basic cardiac life support (CPR) and are trained to watch for any signs or symptoms associated with a poor exercise response.

The investigators hypothesize that randomizing women to a supervised exercise program of core conditioning, muscular/circuit training, and short distance running administered during neoadjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer can be performed.
Patients will continue on study as they are undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy for their breast cancer. This will be about 4 - 6 months.
Read the detailed description
The exercise protocol will consist of activities including walking/running up to a mile, calisthenics (jumping jacks, short relays, rapid punches) and light (no greater than 5 pounds) weight lifting. The patients who do not receive the exercise program will be allowed to do what they would normally do during their neoadjuvant chemotherapy. They are allowed to engage in their own exercise regimens and diet modifications.
Subjects will receive the chemotherapy as directed by their physicians, and then undergo surgery as planned. Randomization will occur by drawing cards entitled "exercise" or "control" from an envelope and then assigning the patient to this group.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
ExerciseBehavioural
Five woman undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer will be randomized to an exercise protocol supervised by an experienced personal trainer. The exercise will be administered three times a week for the 4-6 months of neoadjuvant chemotherapy. The exercise protocol will consist of activities including walking/running up to a mile, calisthenics, and light weightlifting.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Control Group | No intervention | Patient will continue normal activities. Ki-67 will be measured in the initial core biopsy and then again in the final pathologic specimen which is removed for definitive surgical intervention. Insulin resistance levels will be measured by obtaining insulin-like growth factor binding protein one and C-peptide levels just prior to initiation of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, and then again after the last chemotherapy dose. Body mass index, percent body fat, and improving fitness levels will also be measured. |

Insulin resistance levels will be measured by obtaining insulin-like growth factor binding protein one and C-peptide levels just prior to inititation of neoadjuvant chemotherapy and then again after the last chemotherapy dose in both arms. Body mass index, percent body fat, and improving fitness levels will also be measured. Receives: Behavioral: Exercise |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Ki-67 index
Ki-67 has significant value for predicting survival and recurrence risk in breast cancer. A recent study reveals that patients with a post-neoadjuvant chemotherapy Ki-67 index of less than 1.0% had significantly improved survivals when compared to patients with a Ki-67 index > 1.0%
Measured: post-neoadjuvant chemotherapy; ~ 4-6 months from treatment start
Secondary outcomes (1)
Pathologic complete response rate
The rate of pathologic complete response at the primary tumor site from the standard 15% to >20%.
Measured: post-neoadjuvant chemotherapy; ~ 4-6 months from treatment start

Clinical summary

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?
Ki-67 index (time frame: post-neoadjuvant chemotherapy; ~ 4-6 months from treatment start). 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 11 May 2018.
