Trial summary

Physical activity has demonstrated efficacy in cancer prevention and improves quality of life and outcome in cancer survivors. Patients undergoing chemotherapy, especially those with advanced disease, may have symptoms leading to inactivity. Read more about this study

About this study

Physical activity has demonstrated efficacy in cancer prevention and improves quality of life and outcome in cancer survivors. Patients undergoing chemotherapy, especially those with advanced disease, may have symptoms leading to inactivity. Adapted physical activity (APA) among those patients could improve their tolerance to the treatment, and thereby their quality of life. APA could be beneficial to patients with curable disease as well as patients undergoing palliative chemotherapy. Some studies suggest that fighting against loss of muscle mass could lead to a survival benefit. However, APA is not established in daily practice and has not yet been evaluated in a chemotherapy ambulatory care unit.

Primary aim of the study is to assess feasibility of an APA program in a chemotherapy ambulatory care unit of digestive, lung, hematological and dermatological cancers Secondary aim is to measure the impact of an APA program on fatigue, anxiety, depression and handgrip strength in patients beginning chemotherapy or targeted therapy for a digestive, lung, hematological or dermatological cancer, of any stage.

What is being measured

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

  1. Feasibility of APA program

    Percentage of patients accepting APA program

    Measured: Day 0

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. fatigue

    Fatigue evaluating using the Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory. The Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory (MFI) is a 20-item self-report instrument assessing the following items: general fatigue, physical fatigue, mental fatigue, reduced motivation and reduced activity. It has been validated to assess fatigue in cancer patients.

    Measured: Month 3

  2. Anxiety

    Anxiety evaluating using Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale. Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) measures anxiety and depression, in a two factors model, without confounding with somatic or psychiatric disorders, and has been validated in cancer patients.

    Measured: Month 3

  3. Fatigue

    Fatigue evaluating using the Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory. The Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory (MFI) is a 20-item self-report instrument assessing the following items: general fatigue, physical fatigue, mental fatigue, reduced motivation and reduced activity.

    Measured: Month 6

  4. Anxiety

    Anxiety evaluating using Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale. Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) measures anxiety and depression, in a two factors model, without confounding with somatic or psychiatric disorders, and has been validated in cancer patients.

    Measured: Month 6

  5. handgrip strength

    handgrip strength evaluating using Hand grip test. Hand grip test allows the measurement of muscle strength of the upper limbs, which is a reflection of the overall strength of an individual. Thresholds for the loss of muscle strength are <17kg in women and <30 kg in men.

    Measured: Month 3

  6. handgrip strength

    handgrip strength evaluating using Hand grip test. Hand grip test allows the measurement of muscle strength of the upper limbs, which is a reflection of the overall strength of an individual. Thresholds for the loss of muscle strength are <17kg in women and <30 kg in men.

    Measured: Month 6

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Adapted Physical Activity and Cancer, run by CHU de Reims at 1 site in France.

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 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Feb 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 France. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Olivier BOUCHE (obouche@chu-reims.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Feasibility of APA program (time frame: Day 0). 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 10 Feb 2017.
