Trial summary

Introduction. Treatment with hormone therapy reduced the likelihood of tumor recurrence and metastasis in the patient. However, it has adverse effects such as: loss of bone mineral density, increase in body weight, metabolic changes and, consequently, lower quality of life. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Effects of Aerobic Training in Treatment for Breast Cancer

Introduction. Treatment with hormone therapy reduced the likelihood of tumor recurrence and metastasis in the patient. However, it has adverse effects such as: loss of bone mineral density, increase in body weight, metabolic changes and, consequently, lower quality of life. Physical training has been used as a means of reducing these and other adverse effects, but there is no definite protocol on which training model is effective, especially in patients who only use Tamoxifen or Aromatase Inhibitor as an adjuvant therapy for treatment of breast cancer.

Objective: To compare the effect of aerobic training on body composition, metabolic and inflammatory variables, physical activity level, sleep, anxiety, depression, body image, fatigue, strength, flexibility and quality of life of women undergoing breast cancer treatment use Tamoxifen and Aromatase Inhibitor and women without cancer.

Method. The sample will be formed by women without cancer and under treatment with hormone therapy being accompanied by the public service for treatment of breast cancer of the city of Presidente Prudente. A 24-week notification in which the face-to-face training group will undergo aerobic training three times a week on interspersed days and the group accompanied at a distance will perform as a preferred activity under a distance supervision of professionals every 14 days of return to attend the UNESP for the adequacy of the analysis and selection of attendance to the proposed activities. Evaluations of the variables of interest at the baseline of the intervention will be performed after 12 weeks and soon after the intervention. The investigators will analyze: biomarkers (TNFα, LDL, HDL, VLDL, as well as in the lipid profile (triglycerides, total cholesterol and LDL fractions ), glycemia, insulin, anthropometric measurements, physical activity level, sleep, pain, anxiety, depression, body image, fatigue, strength, flexibility. Trainings will be performed within the target zone of maximum heart rate. Comparisons between groups at each time point will be performed using Student's T-test for independent samples. The comparisons of the variables of interest at the initial moment and after 12 and 24 weeks will be made through the multivariate analysis, where the group effects, time and interaction of both will be compared. All analyzes will be performed in SPSS software version 24.0 and significance of 5%.

Introduction. Breast cancer is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in the world.Treatment with hormone therapy reduced the likelihood of tumor recurrence and metastasis in the patient. However, it has adverse effects such as: loss of bone mineral density, increase in body weight, metabolic changes (lipid and low grade systemic inflammation) and, consequently, lower quality of life. Physical training has been used as a means of reducing these and other adverse effects, but there is no definite protocol on which training model is effective, especially in patients who only use Tamoxifen or Aromatase Inhibitor as an adjuvant therapy for treatment of breast cancer.

Objective: To compare the effect of aerobic training on body composition, metabolic and inflammatory variables, physical activity level, sleep, anxiety, depression, body image, fatigue, strength, flexibility and quality of life of women undergoing breast cancer treatment use Tamoxifen and Aromatase Inhibitor and women without cancer.

Method. The sample will be formed by women without cancer and under treatment with hormone therapy being accompanied by the public service for treatment of breast cancer of the city of Presidente Prudente. Where participants will be distributed in six groups submitted to intervention with aerobic training: Tamoxifen group with face-to-face training (GTP); Aromatase Inhibitor Group with face-to-face training (GIP); Tamoxifen training group by distance monitoring (GTA); Training group Aromatase inhibitor by distance monitoring (GIA); Group without training with cancer (GC) and Group training face-to-face without cancer (GTSC). A 24-week notification in which the face-to-face training group will undergo aerobic training three times a week on interspersed days and the group accompanied at a distance will perform as a preferred activity under a distance supervision of professionals every 14 days of return to attend the UNESP for the adequacy of the analysis and selection of attendance to the proposed activities. Evaluations of the variables of interest at the baseline of the intervention will be performed after 12 weeks and soon after the intervention. The investigators will analyze: biomarkers will analyze: biomarkers (Tumor Necrosis Factor-Alpha (TNFα), (LDL), High Density Lipoprotein (HDL), and Very Low Density Lipoprotein (VLDL), as well as in the lipid profile (triglycerides, total cholesterol and low density lipoprotein (LDL) fractions) ), glycemia, insulin, anthropometric measurements, physical activity level, sleep, pain, anxiety, depression, body image, fatigue, strength, flexibility. Trainings will be performed within the target zone of maximum heart rate. Comparisons between groups at each time point will be performed using Student's T-test for independent samples. The comparisons of the variables of interest at the initial moment and after 12 and 24 weeks will be made through the multivariate analysis, where the group effects, time and interaction of both will be compared. All analyzes will be performed in SPSS software version 24.0 and significance of 5%.

    Also called Physical exercise Presential

    The intervention will last 24 weeks, in which the presential training group will undergo aerobic training three times a week on interspersed days, more follow-up.

  • Aerobic Training Home-basedOther

    Also called Physical exercise Home-based

    The intervention will last 24 weeks, the group accompanied by the distance will carry out the activities in their preferred place under the distance supervision of professionals and every 14 days must attend the UNESP to adjust the intensity and verification of attendance to the proposed activities, more follow-up.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Brazil. 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?

Evaluation of body composition by Bone Densitometry (DEXA) equipment (time frame: 24 week). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03494400, which also lists 5 linked publications.

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.
