About this study

Official title: Exercise in Breast Cancer Survivors: Analysis of Angiogenic Profile

The investigators hypothesize that exercise in postmenopausal breast cancer survivors will result in an increase in the plasma concentrations of angiostatic factors and a decrease in the plasma concentrations of angiogenic factors. Exercise is expected to result in a circulating angiostatic phenotype that inhibits adipose tissue mass, growth of breast cancer tumor, growth of microscopic residual disease after breast cancer resection, decreases rates of local-regional recurrence, decreases rates of distant recurrence, and increases survival.

What participants receive

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

  • ExerciseBehavioural

    The participant will exercise for 16 weeks under supervision. The exercise regimen is increased slowly over 16 weeks.

Study groups in NCT01582685
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Exercise GroupExperimentalThe intervention is a structured walking program which will be performed partly in the Pavilion Physical Therapy clinic and partly at home. The participant will be instructed in how hard to exercise, how long to exercise, and how many times in a week to exercise. You will also be instructed in how to exercise safely.
Receives: Behavioral: Exercise
No ExerciseNo interventionThese participants will receive standard of care follow up.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of participants that complete the study as a measure of feasibility of an exercise intervention in obese breast cancer survivors.

    Number of participants that enroll in the study and actually complete the study

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. IGF-1, endostatin, and VEGF levels in obese breast cancer survivors undergoing an exercise intervention as a measure of angiostatic phenotype:

    IFG-1 levels,unbound VEGF levels, Endostatin levels

    Measured: 12 months

  2. Amount of adipose tissue mass as measured on CT scans in obese breast cancer survivors before and after exercise intervention as a measure of weight loss

    Adipose tissue mass volume as measured on CT scan

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Exercise in people with Breast Cancer and Obesity, run by University of Mississippi Medical Center 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 9 inclusion and 11 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Dec 2014. 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Number of participants that complete the study as a measure of feasibility of an exercise intervention in obese breast cancer survivors. (time frame: 12 months). 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 Dec 2014.
