About this study

Official title: A COMbined progRamme of Exercise and Dietary ADvice in mEn With Castrate Resistant Prostate Cancer - COMRADE Trial

The proposed study will assess the feasibility of an exercise and dietary intervention in men with castrate resistant prostate cancer with secondary outcomes assessing improvements in physical functioning, fatigue, quality of life, and body composition.The study will have 2 arms, with one set of participants randomized to resistance exercise training intervention plus dietary advice and the other arm will be standard of care plus exercise advice.

Read the detailed description

Although there have been advances in recent years, therapeutic options remain limited for men with castrate resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). There is an unmet clinical need for interventions which can improve quality of life, functional capacity and cancer related fatigue. Adjunctive exercise therapy could be a potentially effective treatment for these men. A growing body of evidence has demonstrated numerous benefits in physiological and psychosocial outcomes in men with advanced prostate cancer. Further, there is observational evidence linking physical activity with reduced disease specific mortality after a diagnosis of cancer. Observational data also indicates that preserving skeletal muscle mass can improve responses to chemotherapy. The proposed study will assess the feasibility of an exercise and dietary intervention in men with castrate resistant prostate cancer with secondary outcomes assessing improvements in physical functioning, fatigue, quality of life, and body composition.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Exercise Intervention in people with Prostatic Neoplasms, Castration-Resistant and 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 5 inclusion and 6 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 18 Jul 2024. 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. 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?

Number of participants recruited who complete the intervention (time frame: 16 Weeks). 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 18 Jul 2024.
