About this study

Official title: Home-based High-intensity Interval Training to Improve Colorectal Cancer Survivorship: Feasibility and Relationship With Novel Surrogate Biomarkers of Colorectal Cancer Recurrence

This 12-week, exercise study will assess the feasibility of a home-based high-intensity interval training (HIIT) program among colorectal cancer survivors and explore the impact of home-based HIIT compared to a standard home-based moderate-intensity continuous aerobic exercise program on physical outcomes linked with survival from colorectal cancer and surrogate blood markers of colorectal cancer recurrence.

HIIT is a type of aerobic exercise that includes short bursts (i.e. 1-4 minutes) of vigorous exercise followed by longer periods of moderate to lower intensity exercise (i.e. 1-10 minutes). Participants in this study will be randomly assigned into a personalized home based exercise program - either high-intensity interval training (HIIT) or moderate-intensity continuous aerobic exercise (MICE).

This pilot study will provide us with preliminary evidence for a larger trial aimed to compare the effectiveness of these two different types of home-based exercise programs on physical outcomes linked with survival, quality of life, and surrogate blood markers of colorectal cancer recurrence.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Home-based high-intensity interval trainingBehavioural

    Participants will be instructed to complete four, high-intensity interval training workouts per week at home, for the duration of the 12-week trial. Participants will be provided with detailed instructions on how to complete each workout.

  • Home-based moderate-intensity continuous exerciseBehavioural

    Participants will be instructed to complete five, moderate-intensity continuous exercise workouts per week at home, for the duration of the 12-week trial. Participants will be provided with detailed instructions on how to complete each workout.

What is being measured

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

  1. Feasibility of home-based high-intensity interval training among colorectal cancer survivors

    Feasibility will be assessed by adherence to the home-based high-intensity interval training protocol, which is defined at the participant level as completing ≥70% of workouts consistent with the exercise prescription. The intervention will be considered feasible if ≥75% of participants meet or exceed the 70% criterion.

    Measured: 12 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Home-based high-intensity interval training and Home-based moderate-intensity continuous exercise in people with Colorectal Cancer and Colorectal Neoplasms, run by University of Utah at 2 sites 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 9 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 22 Mar 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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.

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?

Feasibility of home-based high-intensity interval training among colorectal cancer survivors (time frame: 12 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 22 Mar 2023.
