About this study
Official title: A Phase III Randomized Study Comparing the Effects of a Personalized Exercise Program (PEP) Against No Intervention in Patients With Stage I-IIIa Primary Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer or Secondary Lung Cancer Undergoing Surgical Resection
This is a Phase 3 study aimed at investigating the effects of a personalized exercise program (PEP) in NSCLC patients (stage I, II, IIIa) and secondary lung cancer patients undergoing surgical treatment at the University of Utah and comparing the intervention to the current standard of care (no exercise program).
Read the detailed description
This is a Phase 3 study aimed at investigating the effects of a personalized exercise program (PEP) in NSCLC patients (stage I, II, IIIa) and secondary lung cancer patients undergoing surgical treatment at the University of Utah and comparing the intervention to the current standard of care (no exercise program).
Eligible patients will be randomized between two arms (1:1 ratio) prior to the surgery and will be followed for approximately 6 months post-surgery:
- An Intervention Arm (referred to in materials as Group 1) which features pre- and post-surgery PEP interventions.
- A Control Arm (referred to in materials as Group 2) which does not include a personalized exercise program (the standard of care). Patients randomized to the Control Arm will be given the opportunity to participate in a PEP-intervention session providing exercise counseling after the 6 month assessment and will receive a free activity tracker for their participation.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Personalized Exercise ProgramBehavioural
The PEP intervention involves a combination of home-based exercise as well as in-patient exercise. The exercise modes will include basic transfer and calisthenics mobility, aerobic and resistance exercises and will be performed in various postures (supine, sitting, standing and walking) with variable challenges (level walking, bending, inclines, steps and squatting).
For patients randomized to the Intervention Group (Group 1), the PEP intervention will be personalized, implemented, and modified (based on the patients AM-PAC mobility stage) by a licensed physical therapist in face-to-face, virtual, or phone meetings (~30-40 minutes). An exercise education manual, specifically developed for this study, will be used by the physical therapist to educate the patients on all aspects of starting and maintaining the exercise intervention.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Personalized Exercise Program | Experimental | Not described Receives: Behavioral: Personalized Exercise Program |
| Standard of Care - No Exercise | No intervention | Not described |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Mobility Performance - Six Minute Walk (6MW) Distance
Six Minute Walk (6MW) distance is the distance patients can walk indoors on a 25-meter level, smooth-surfaced track over the course of 6 minutes. This outcome will report the mean 6MW distance at hospital discharge (up to 38 days after the initiation of the study intervention), at the 2-Month Post Surgery Visit (up to 5 months from the initiation of the study intervention), and at the 6-Month Post Surgery Visit (up to 9 months from the initiation of the study intervention).
Measured: Hospital Discharge (up to 38 days after the initiation of the study therapy), 2-Month Post Surgery Visit (up to 5 months after the initiation of the study therapy), and 6-Month Post Surgery Visit (up to 9 months after the initiation of study therapy)
Secondary outcomes (4)
Evaluate the Change Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) Score
This outcome will report the results from the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB).
This secondary outcome measure is associated with the evaluation of improvement in physical performance is the result of the short physical performance battery test. The SPPB score (ranging from 0 to 12) will be obtained for each patient at the time points described above. A score of 0 indicates the worst performance, and a score of 12 indicates the best performance.
This outcome will report median SPPB scores at hospital discharge (up to 38 days after the initiation of the study intervention), at the 2-Month Post Surgery Visit (up to 5 months from the initiation of the study intervention), and at the 6-Month Post Surgery Visit (up to 9 months from the initiation of the study intervention).
Measured: Hospital Discharge (up to 38 days after the initiation of the study therapy), 2-Month Post Surgery Visit (up to 5 months after the initiation of the study therapy), and 6-Month Post Surgery Visit (up to 9 months after the initiation of study therapy)
FACT-L (Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Lung) Questionnaire
The FACT-L (Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Lung) questionnaire assesses health-related quality of life (QOL). Total scores range from 0-136, with lower scores representing worse QOL and higher scores representing better QOL.
This outcome measure will report mean FACT-L total scores at Hospital Discharge (up to 38 days after the initiation of the study therapy), 2-Month Post Surgery Visit (up to 5 months after the initiation of the study therapy), and 6-Month Post Surgery Visit (up to 9 months after the initiation of the study therapy).
Measured: Hospital Discharge (up to 38 days after the initiation of the study therapy), 2-Month Post Surgery Visit (up to 5 months after the initiation of the study therapy), and 6-Month Post Surgery Visit (up to 9 months after the initiation of the study therapy)
Fatigue Subscale (FS)
This outcome will report the results of the Fatigue Subscale (FS) from the FACIT-F (Chronic Illness Fatigue Scale) questionnaire. The FACIT-F is a self-reported evaluation of fatigue in cancer patients. This questionnaire has patients rank statements regarding physical well-being, social/family well-being, emotional well-being, functional well-being, and additional concerns from 0 Not at All to 4 Very Much.
This outcome will report the FS score from the FACIT-F. The FS has a minimum of 0 and a maximum of 52; the higher the score the better the Quality of Life (QOL). The FS Score is calculated from 13 survey items. Individual items that were "reverse items" (meaning a high value indicates poor QOL) were subtracted from 4. Then all "reverse items" and normal items were added together to calculate the FS score.
This assessment was scored according to the FACIT-F Scoring Guidelines (Version 4).
Measured: Hospital Discharge (up to 38 days after the initiation of the study therapy), 2-Month Post Surgery Visit (up to 5 months after the initiation of the study therapy), and 6-Month Post Surgery Visit (up to 9 months after the initiation of study therapy)
BREQ-3 (Behavioral Regulation in Exercise Questionnaire 3) Questionnaire
This outcome will report the results of the BREQ-3. The questionnaire has 24 items, each item ranging from 0 "Not True for Me" to 4 "Very True for Me".
This questionnaire will report 6 sub-scores, Amotivation, External Regulation, Introjected Regulation, Identified Regulation, Integrated Regulation, Intrinsic Regulation.
Each sub score is a the average of 4 items, ranging from 0-4 with higher values indicating higher motivation.
Measured: Hospital Discharge (up to 38 days after the initiation of the study therapy), 2-Month Post Surgery Visit (up to 5 months after the initiation of the study therapy), and 6-Month Post Surgery Visit (up to 9 months after the initiation of study therapy)

What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing Personalized Exercise Program in people with Non Small Cell Lung Cancer and Secondary Lung Cancer, run by University of Utah 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 5 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Jun 2026. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 9 Jun 2026). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
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.
