About this study

Official title: LCCC 1410: Impact of Physical Activity on Biomarker of Aging and Body Composition Among Breast Cancer Survivors Age 65 and Older

To determine if exercise will affect the increase in p16 expression that is associated with both chemotherapy administration and advancing age.

Read the detailed description

LCCC1410 is designed to compare the change in p16 from baseline to end of chemotherapy in 100 older (≥ 65 years) breast cancer patients participating in a home-based physical activity program (intervention group) to 100 patients in the concurrent control group not participating in a physical activity intervention (enrolled in a separate RO1 study as described in section 1.7). The biomarker p16 is known to dramatically increase with chemotherapy, and we hypothesize that the increase will be attenuated by a physical activity intervention. We will evaluate changes in p16 between the two study populations. Data from the geriatric assessment at baseline will be used to characterize the study population, and subscale scores from the GA will also be assessed for differences between baseline and end of chemotherapy to compare the LCCC1410 study population with the concurrent control.

What participants receive

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

  • Walk with Ease ProgramBehavioural

    The Walk With Ease Program sets a goal for participants to walk 30 minutes a day five times a week and gives helpful hints on how to achieve this goal.

What is being measured

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

  1. To measure the change in level of p16 expression from baseline to end of chemotherapy to a control group

    The comparison group will be taken from another study

    Measured: 12 months

  2. To measure the changes in the level of p16 expression from baseline and end of chemotherapy.

    The study will look at the change of p16 expression within patients on this study.

    Measured: 2 - 6 months

Secondary outcomes (12)
  1. To measure changes in body compositional aspects of lean body mass (LBM)

    As measured by DEXA

    Measured: 12 months

  2. To measure changes in body compositional aspects of fat tissue mass (FM)

    As measured by DEXA

    Measured: 12 months

  3. To measure changes in body compositional aspects of percentage body fat (BF)

    As measured by DEXA

    Measured: 12 months

  4. To measure change in physical activity over the course of the study

    As measured by engagement in walking survey

    Measured: 12 months

  5. To measure change in physical function over the course of the study

    As measured by the Short Physical Performance Battery

    Measured: 12 months

  6. To measure change in fatigue over the course of the study

    As measured by the FACIT-F

    Measured: 12 months

  7. To measure change in quality of life over the course of the study

    As measured by the FACT-B

    Measured: 12 months

  8. To measure change in self-efficacy over the course of the study

    As measured by the PSEFSM and OEE

    Measured: 12 months

  9. To measure retention during the study

    • Retention will be assessed as the proportion of patients who enroll in the study who complete all questionnaires and assessments at all time points.

    Measured: 12 months

  10. To measure safety of the walking program

    • Safety will be defined as any adverse events potentially related to the intervention, including falls, which are reported by study participants to the Study Team.

    Measured: 12 months

  11. To measure overall satisfaction with the program

    As measured by a satisfaction questionnaire

    Measured: 12 months

  12. To average the number of daily and weekly steps per participant

    As measure via an continuous accelerometer.

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Walk with Ease Program in people with Breast Cancer and Aging, run by UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer 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 8 inclusion and 1 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 30 Apr 2020. 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?

To measure the change in level of p16 expression from baseline to end of chemotherapy to a control group (time frame: 12 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT02328313, 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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 30 Apr 2020.
