About this study

Official title: Exercise Training as a Novel Primary Therapy for Men With Localised Prostate Cancer: the PANTERA Trial (Prostate cAncer Novel ThERApy)

Study design: The study is a two arm randomised controlled trial (randomisation ratio 1:1) comparing an aerobic exercise training intervention to usual care plus exercise advice. The primary outcome is the feasibility of the intervention as novel primary therapy in men with localised prostate cancer.

Conditions

What participants receive

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

  • Aerobic exercise trainingBehavioural

    Aerobic exercise training will be undertaken for 12 months, combining supervised and independent exercise sessions. Behaviour change counselling will take place bi-monthly, either via face to face sessions during exercise or via telephone by study clinical exercise specialist according to participant preference.

  • Placebo surveillance and written exercise guidelinesBehavioural

    Optimal active surveillance according to NICE guidelines and written exercise guidelines from Macmillan cancer

What is being measured

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

  1. Feasibility as measured by rate of recruitment

    The rate of recruitment will be measured by comparing the number of patients screended to the number of patients recruited. This will allow us to asses if a future full-scale trial is feasible.

    Measured: 36 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Feasibility as measured by Intervention adherence

    Intervention adherence will be assessed using an exercise log book and heart rate monitor to objectively record independent exercise behaviour and support adherence and compliance.

    Measured: 36 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Aerobic exercise training in people with Prostate Cancer, run by Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 7 inclusion and 8 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 Jan 2019. 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 Kingdom. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Feasibility as measured by rate of recruitment (time frame: 36 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 30 Jan 2019.
