About this study

Official title: The Effect of a Home-based Fitness Intervention on Cardiometabolic Risk Profile in Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) Patients

This is a pilot feasibility study to collect preliminary data for a large-scale exergaming intervention in children undergoing maintenance therapy for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). Patients, ages 5-17 years will be randomized to the intervention or non-intervention control group. The intervention will consist of 30 minute sessions of exergaming 3-5 times a week for 6 months, with weekly assessment of exercise level and phone calls by kinesiology graduate students for safety and compliance. Physical activity at baseline and at the end of study will be assessed using accelerometers. Outcome measures will include: anthropometrics, blood pressure, body composition, visceral fat, vascular function, fasting insulin, fasting glucose, LDL-cholesterol, HDL- cholesterol, triglycerides, functional mobility and endurance, and strength.

What is being measured

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

  1. Average minutes of physical activity per day

    The feasibility of an exercise intervention in pediatric ALL patients undergoing maintenance therapy and its effects on markers of cardiometabolic risk. The primary outcome for this pilot study is average minutes and time spent at varying intensity of physical activity per day, as measured by accelerometers.

    Measured: 6-months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Average difference of blood pressure

    Estimate of the likely effect size (i.e., difference between the groups in average outcome) of blood pressure.

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Average difference of body composition

    Estimate of the likely effect size (i.e., difference between the groups in average outcome) of body composition.

    Measured: 6 months

  3. Average difference in visceral fat

    Estimate of the likely effect size (i.e., difference between the groups in average outcome) of visceral fat.

    Measured: 6 months

  4. Average difference in triglycerides

    Estimate of the likely effect size (i.e., difference between the groups in average outcome) of triglycerides.

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Exergaming Program in people with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, run by University of Minnesota 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 6 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 14 Mar 2017. 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 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?

Average minutes of physical activity per day (time frame: 6-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 14 Mar 2017.
