Trial summary

Exercise is predicted to have positive effect among patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, little attention has been paid to the role of physical activity with wearable device in the management of HCC patients in the aspect of improvement in insulin resistance.

About this study

Official title: The Effect of Mobile Health-based Exercise on Insulin Sensitivity in Hepatocellular Carcinoma Patients With Insulin Resistance: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Exercise is predicted to have positive effect among patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, little attention has been paid to the role of physical activity with wearable device in the management of HCC patients in the aspect of improvement in insulin resistance.

We designed this study to investigate whether personalized exercise with mobile health program improves insulin resistance without decompensation in HCC patients with insulin resistance.

What participants receive

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

  • Mobile healthBehavioural

    Perform exercise daily with mobile application and wearable device (warm-up, stretching, aerobic, and strengthening).

    Mobile application: Hepatocellular carcinoma by Second Doctor Wearable device: Dofit

Study groups in NCT04649671
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Standard careNo interventionHepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients with insulin resistance who underwent hepatic resection or radiofrequency ablation (RFA) will be enrolled. Patients included in the control arm will receive a booklet including information about physical activity recommendations and practice (education). After 12 weeks, they will also be provided mobile application and wearable device and perform exercise for 12 weeks.
Mobile healthActive comparatorHCC patients with insulin resistance who underwent hepatic resection or RFA will be enrolled. Patients included in the intervention arm will receive both booklet and mobile health program. They will perform exercise daily with mobile application and wearable device (warm-up, stretching, aerobic, and strengthening) for 24 weeks.

What is being measured

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

  1. Improvement of insulin resistance

    The proportion of normalization of homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) (<2.2)

    Measured: After 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Improvement of insulin resistance

    The proportion of normalization of homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) (<2.2)

    Measured: After 24 weeks

  2. Improvement of 6-minute walk test

    • Changes in meters assessed using the 6-minute walk test

    Measured: After 12 and 24 weeks

  3. Improvement of grip strength test

    • Changes in kilograms assessed using grip strength test

    Measured: After 12 and 24 weeks

  4. Improvement of 30-second chair stand test

    • Changes in seconds assessed using 30-second chair stand test

    Measured: After 12 and 24 weeks

  5. Improvement of the score of International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF)

    • Changes in metabolic equivalents (METs) per week calculated using IPAQ-SF

    Measured: After 12 and 24 weeks

  6. Improvement of quality of life

    Improved score of European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality-of-Life Questionnaire C30

    Measured: After 12 and 24 weeks

  7. Nutritional status

    Comparison of nutrition score using mini nutritional assessment

    Measured: After 12 and 24 weeks

  8. Adverse events

    Any adverse events occurred during exercise

    Measured: After 12 and 24 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Mobile health in people with Hepatocellular Carcinoma and Insulin Resistance, run by Samsung Medical Center at 1 site in South Korea.

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 6 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 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 1 site in South Korea. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Difficulty in recruitment and deficit of research fund). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Improvement of insulin resistance (time frame: After 12 weeks). 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 NCT04649671, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 6 Mar 2023.
