About this study

The goal of this clinical trial is to verify the effectiveness and safety of the low load blood flow restriction training program. The intervention effect, tolerance and compliance of low load blood flow restriction training and progressive resistance training on lung cancer patients complicated with sarcopenia during chemotherapy will be compared, in order to provide new ideas for improving or reversing sarcopenia.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

Can low load blood flow restriction training improve sarcopenia in chemotherapy induced lung cancer patients? Which training method is more effective and tolerable between low load blood flow restriction training and progressive resistance training?

Participants will be randomly divided into 3 groups:

  1. Routine care group (Control group, CON): The researchers will provide participants with regular exercise and dietary guidance.
  2. Low load blood flow restriction group (LL-BFRT): The researchers will provide participants with a low load blood flow restriction training program constructed by our research group.
  3. Progressive resistance training group (PRE): The researchers will provide participants with progressive resistance training.

What participants receive

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

  • Low load blood flow restriction trainingBehavioural

    Low load blood flow restriction training will be conducted on the subjects three times a week. Each training session includes upper and lower limb training, with 4 groups trained and repeated 30, 15, 15, and 15 times for each group. Train for a total of 12 weeks.The resistance strength will remain at 30% RM for weeks 1-12.

  • Progressive resistance training groupBehavioural

    The subjects will undergo progressive resistance training three days a week, three groups per day, with each group repeating 10 times. Training includes upper and lower limbs. The resistance load increases over time, with a resistance load of 30% RM for weeks 1-4, 50% RM for weeks 5-8, and 70% RM for weeks 9-12.

Study groups in NCT06347965
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Routine care group (Control group, CON)No interventionDuring hospitalization, patients will be given routine exercise and dietary guidance.
Low load blood flow restriction training group (LL-BFRT)ExperimentalOn the basis of routine care, participants who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be guided to undergo low-load blood flow restriction training. Based on the constructed "Low load Blood Flow Restriction Training Program for Chemotherapy Stage Lung Cancer Patients with Sarcopenia", participants will be guided to undergo low-load blood flow restriction training.
Receives: Behavioral: Low load blood flow restriction training
Progressive resistance training group (PRE)Active comparatorOn the basis of routine care, progressive resistance training will be conducted on subjects who meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria, guided by the progressive resistance training program for malignant tumor patients in the "ACSM Exercise Testing and Exercise Prescription Guidelines: 10th Edition" published by the People's Health Press.
Receives: Behavioral: Progressive resistance training group

What is being measured

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

  1. Grip strength

    The grip strength of the participant's preferred hand

    Measured: Grip strength will be measured at 3, 6, 9, and 12 weeks after intervention

  2. Appendicular Skeletal Muscle Index (ASMI)

    Using a human body composition analyzer (ICOMEON-FI2001B) to measure the skeletal muscle mass (ASM) of the limbs, and calculating ASMI using a formula. ASMI=ASM/height^2

    Measured: ASMI will be measured at 3, 6, 9, and 12 weeks after intervention

  3. Step speed

    Measure the walking speed of 6m

    Measured: Step speed will be measured at 3, 6, 9, and 12 weeks after intervention

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Body mass index (BMI)

    Measure height and weight using height measuring instruments and scales

    Measured: BMI will be measured at 3, 6, 9, and 12 weeks after intervention

  2. Quality of life for lung cancer patients

    Using the QLQ-LC 43 scale to measure the quality of life in lung cancer patients

    Measured: Quality of life for lung cancer patients will be measured at 3, 6, 9, and 12 weeks after intervention

  3. Exercise compliance

    This includes participation rate, interruption rate (number of missed training sessions), termination rate (termination of training before 12 weeks), and dose adjustment rate (adjustment of training load or frequency)

    Measured: Exercise compliance will be measured at12 weeks after intervention

  4. Exercise safety

    Record the frequency and time of adverse events caused by exercise, such as muscle pain, joint pain, dizziness, skin bruising, etc., and calculate the incidence rate of adverse events

    Measured: Exercise safety will be measured at12 weeks after intervention

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Low load blood flow restriction training and Progressive resistance training group in people with Sarcopenia and Lung Neoplasms, run by Xin Wang at 1 site in China.

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 8 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 4 Apr 2024. 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 China. 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?

Grip strength (time frame: Grip strength will be measured at 3, 6, 9, and 12 weeks after intervention). 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 4 Apr 2024.
