What is being measured

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

  1. Ability to walk three meters or crossing a room without assistence

    Measured: at 5 days after surgery or at hospital discharge

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. fatigue

    We will assess the level of fatigue through the Piper fatigue scale

    Measured: at 5 and 30 days after surgery

  2. quality of life

    Measured: at 5, 30, 180 and 365 days after surgery

  3. length of hospital stay

    Measured: at hospital discharge

  4. recurrence of cancer

    Measured: at 180 days after surgery

  5. hospital costs

    Measured: at 180 days after surgery

  6. post operatorative complications

    Clavien classification

    Measured: at 30 days after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Early mobilization program in people with Neoplasm, run by Instituto do Cancer do Estado de São Paulo at 1 site in Brazil.

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 16 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Ability to walk three meters or crossing a room without assistence (time frame: at 5 days after surgery or at hospital discharge). 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 NCT01693172, 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?
