About this study

Official title: Resiliency Among Older Adults Receiving Lung Cancer Treatment (ROAR-LCT): Physical Therapy and Progressive Muscle Relaxation in Improving Physical Performance and Mood in Older Patients With Stage IIIA-B or IV Lung Cancer Undergoing Treatment

This trial studies how well physical therapy and progressive muscle relaxation works in improving physical performance and mood in older patients with stage IIIA-B or IV lung cancer who are undergoing treatment. Improving physical performance and mood may help older patients maintain an independent lifestyle by helping to improve their resilience, the ability to bounce back to normal functioning after a stressor or intervening health event such as treatment or disease progression. Giving physical therapy and progressive muscle relaxation may work in improving symptoms and quality of life in patients with lung cancer.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To assess the feasibility of a novel, weekly supervised virtual health-assisted physical therapy plus relaxation intervention delivered to older adults with advanced thoracic malignancy (N=20).

OUTLINE:

Patients participate physical therapy sessions consisting of cardiovascular and resistance training exercises in person or online and also undergo progressive muscle relaxation sessions once weekly for up to 12 weeks.

After completion of study therapy, patients are followed up at 24 weeks, and then periodically for up to 24 months.

What is being measured

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

  1. Recruitment Rates

    Recruitment rates will be defined as the proportion of screened older adults accrued relative to those approached in the Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center (OSUCCC) Thoracic Oncology Clinic. Successful recruitment rates will be defined as >= 50% of older adults (>= 60 years) approached agree to participate.

    Measured: Up to 24 weeks

  2. Adherence Rate

    Study adherence will be defined as the completion of >= 70% of the program sessions, repeated assessments, and collection of bio specimens either at the end of the study period or death, whichever occurs first.

    Measured: Up to 24 weeks

  3. Retention Rates

    Retention rates will be defined as the percentage of participants not lost to follow-up.

    Measured: Up to 24 weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Functional Trajectories

    Evaluated using generalized linear mixed models (GLMMS). GLMMs can determine whether factors affect all patient trajectories in similar ways or whether they affect individual trajectories differently. To allow for possible changes in functional status over time (e.g., a change-point analysis) the 'segmented' package in R will be used. Participants' functional status scores will be modeled using a segmented mixed model with random change points. Estimating the change point identifies the point in time that patients' functional status scores change during the 12-months post-diagnosis.

    Measured: At 12 months

  2. Factors Associated With Resiliency

    Evaluated using GLMMS. Resiliency will be defined as the ability to maintain or regain at least 50% of baseline functional status at any point during the 12 months after diagnosis with specific emphasis at 3 and 6-months post- the start of treatment. The association between resiliency and clinical factors will be evaluated with appropriate statistical techniques for the specific measure (e.g. Chi-square tests will compare categorical variables between participants demonstrating resiliency vs. worsening functional status; a two-sample t-test or Wilcoxon Rank Sum test will compare continuous variables).

    Measured: Up to 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Physical Therapy, Quality-of-Life Assessment and Questionnaire Administration in people with Advanced Lung Carcinoma and Extensive Stage Lung Small Cell Carcinoma, run by Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center 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 4 inclusion and 2 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 15 Nov 2023. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 15 Nov 2023). 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Recruitment Rates (time frame: Up to 24 weeks). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 15 Nov 2023.
