About this study

The goal of this study is to test, in a randomized controlled trial among head and neck cancer patients, the short and longer term effects of the MPACT (Maintaining Physical Activity during Cancer Treatment) program (infused with motivational interviewing and self-determination theory-based strategies) initiated at the time of concurrent chemotherapy with radiation (CCRT), on key outcomes such as functional mobility and quality of life, and ultimately physical activity. The central hypotheses is that in head and neck cancer patients undergoing CCRT, the MPACT program, as compared to usual care controls, will result in less acute decline, faster recovery, and better maintenance of these key outcomes.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
MPACTExperimentalA 7-week (7 weeks x 3 sessions per week), on site, functional resistance training (FRT) as well as a walking program concurrent with CCRT will be followed by a 7-week post-CCRT home program. The protocol follows American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) prescription guidelines for cancer patients.

Usual CareNo interventionNot described

What is being measured

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

  1. Mean change in 6 minute walk distance (6MWD)

    6 MWD will be assessed at baseline, at weeks 4, 7, 11, and 14 and at 6 months and 1 year. The change from baseline will be calculated for each participant and longitudinal mixed models will be used to characterize mean outcomes over time for each intervention group.

    Measured: 1 Year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing MPACT in people with Head and Neck Neoplasms, run by University of Michigan Rogel 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 2 inclusion and 10 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Oct 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 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.

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 was stopped early. Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Mean change in 6 minute walk distance (6MWD) (time frame: 1 Year). 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 9 Oct 2019.
