About this study

Official title: Randomisierte Studie Zum Nutzen Eines Fitnesstracker Basierten Aktivitätstrainings während Einer Strahlentherapeutischen Behandlung (OnkoFit II Studie)

Evaluation of the impact of an activity tracker based fitness programme on the Qualitiy of Life after oncological therapy.

Read the detailed description

This monocentric, three-arm, randomized, controlled clinical trial evaluates the effect of an activity tracker based exercise program in cancer patients on the Quality of life after oncological therapy. Quality of Life and the intensity of fatigue will be documented with the FACT-G total score of the FACIT Questionnaire six months after completion of radiotherapy.

Being tested
Fitness tracker based activity training for Arm A and B. Booklet "physical training, exercise and cancer" and an introduction about physical activity during cancer therapy for Arm A, B, C
Keywords
Fatigue, Activity tracker, Radiotherapy, Exercise
Medical subject headings
Carcinoma, Bronchogenic, Esophageal Neoplasms, Brain Neoplasms, Head and Neck Neoplasms, Pancreatic Neoplasms, Sarcoma, Uterine Cervical Neoplasms, Fatigue

What participants receive

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

  • Fitness tracker based activity training for Arm A and B. Booklet "physical training, exercise and cancer" and an introduction about physical activity during cancer therapy for Arm A, B, CDevice

    Patients receive a fitness tracker, a booklet "Physical training, exercise and cancer" and an in-person briefing about physical activity during cancer therapy. With offered guidelines for the daily step counts patients should improve their physical activity during radiotherapy of breast cancer. A weekly feedback and a new goal for the next week will be provided until the individual patient reaches a daily activity of 6000 steps. The setting will be to maintain to this daily activity of 6000 steps during radiotherapy.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Arm A (Tracker/daily step-count suggestion)ExperimentalPatients receive a fitness tracker, a booklet "Physical training, exercise and cancer" and an in-person briefing on physical activity during cancer therapy. We suggest a daily step-count which should improve the patients phyiscal activity during radiotherapy of breast cancer. Patients receive weekly feedback and a new goal with the aim to reach a total of 6000 daily steps, which should be then maintained during radiotherapy.
Receives: Device: Fitness tracker based activity training for Arm A and B. Booklet "physical training, exercise and cancer" and an introduction about physical activity during cancer therapy for Arm A, B, C
Arm B (Tracker/no daily step-count suggestion)ExperimentalPatients receive a fitness tracker, a booklet "Physical training, exercise and cancer" and an in-person briefing on physical activity during cancer therapy. The patients self-document their daily step count during radiotherapy, there will be no recommendation for the daily count of steps.
Receives: Device: Fitness tracker based activity training for Arm A and B. Booklet "physical training, exercise and cancer" and an introduction about physical activity during cancer therapy for Arm A, B, C
Arm C (no activity tracker)No interventionPatients receive a booklet "Physical training, exercise and cancer" and an in-person briefing on physical activity during cancer therapy. A fitness tracker will not be provided.

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluation of the impact of an Activity tracker based Fitness programme on the Qualitiy of Life after oncological Therapy

    This endpoint will be evaluated by the FACT-G (Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - General) total scores of the FACIT (Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy) questionnaire (physical well-being values 0-28, 28 worse outcome; social/family well-being values 0-28, 28 better outcome; emotional well-being values 0-24, 24 worse outcome; functional well-being values 0-28, 28 better outcome

    Measured: 6 Months after completion of adjuvant radiotherapy
