About this study

Official title: Prospective Observational Cohort Study of the Value of the Six Minute Walk Test and Handgrip Strength in Lung Cancer Patients Undergoing Chemotherapy

The study examines the physical capacity of lung cancer patients assessed with the six minute walk test and handgrip strength. Demographic and selfreported exercise behavior is registered to explore correlations to functional and physical capacity.

Assessments are made before first chemotherapy cycle and after fourth chemotherapy cycle, an expected average of 12 weeks between first and second assessment.

What is being measured

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

  1. Mortality - Survival time

    Prognostic value of the six minute walk and handgrip strength on mortality

    Measured: time from first chemotherapy treatment to death, assessed after 30 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Hand grip strength

    Measured: before first chemotherapy and after fourth cycle of chemotherapy, an expected average of 12 weeks between first and second assessment.

  2. Self reported exercise behavior

    Measured: before first chemotherapy and after fourth cycle of chemotherapy, an expected average of 12 weeks between first and second assessment.

  3. Six minute walk test

    Measured: Before first and after fourth chemotheraphy cycle, an expected average of 12 weeks between first and second assessment.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Non Small Cell Lung Cancer and Small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Copenhagen University Hospital, Rigshospitalet at 1 site in Denmark.

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 4 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 5 Nov 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 Denmark. 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?

Mortality - Survival time (time frame: time from first chemotherapy treatment to death, assessed after 30 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 5 Nov 2014.
