Physical Activity Intervention for Lung Cancer Survivors

June 6, 2023 updated by: Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center
The purpose of this study is to learn how many lung cancer survivors will agree to a physical activity program. We also want to know if lung cancer survivors benefit from this program. This information will help us to develop our services for lung cancer survivors.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

21 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Sampling Method

Probability Sample

Study Population

In total, we will recruit and enroll a random sample of 70 lung cancer survivors who are at least one year post thoracic surgical resection and have no evidence of NSCLC or any other cancer at the time of study enrollment and not receiving any adjuvant treatment.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Diagnosis and treatment at MSKCC of primary NSCLC; and/or pulmonary carcinoid;
  • At least one year post thoracic surgical resection;
  • Have no evidence of NSCLC or any other cancer at the time of study enrollment and not receiving any cancer treatment;
  • Currently sedentary or insufficiently active, defined by the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as less than a total of 150 minutes of at least moderate intensity PA per week;
  • Able to complete a six-minute walk test (6MWT);
  • Able to provide informed consent.

FOCUS GROUP ONLY:

• Completed the Physical Activity program offered through this study (08067);

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Presence of one of the following medical factors at screening:

    • regular use of an ambulatory aid (cane or walker);
    • resting oxygen saturation less than 88%;
    • inability to walk due to severe arthritis or other musculoskeletal problems;
    • a diagnosis of unstable angina in the previous 6 weeks;
    • a heart attack, angioplasty or heart surgery in the previous 3 months;
    • current heart rate <50 or >120 at rest; current uncontrolled hypertension;
    • current significant valvular heart disease or decompensated congestive heart failure and
    • patient reported pain of any origin that would preclude participation in the proposed PA intervention
  • Evidence of significant medical cognitive or psychiatric disturbance sufficient, in the investigator's judgment, to preclude participation in the intervention
  • Self-reporting of greater than 60 minutes of vigorous activity per week or 150 minutes of moderate intensity PA per week.
  • Patient resides at more than two hours travel distance from the Center
  • Insufficient English fluency to complete evaluation tools.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
1
Arm 1 - Physical Activity intervention
Behavioral: interview and physical activity
For Arm 1 participants in the Physical Activity intervention condition will be assessed at baseline, and postintervention Follow-up (at 12 weeks post baseline).
2
Arm 2 - Wait-list control
Behavioral: interview and wait list
Participants in the control condition (Arm 2)will be assessed at baseline and 12 weeks post baseline (Follow-up). At this time, the PA intervention will be offered at no cost to the participants in the control condition. If the waitlist participant chooses to complete the PA intervention after the 12 week waitlist period, program satisfaction will be assessed after study completion.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
To evaluate the feasibility (acceptability, adherence, treatment integrity, retention, participant satisfaction) of implementing a physical activity intervention trial among sedentary and insufficiently active lung cancer survivors.
Time Frame: conclusion of the study
conclusion of the study

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Obtain preliminary data on effect of a physical activity intervention on functional ability, health-related QOL, dyspnea, fatigue, balance, strength & self-report physical activity among sedentary and insufficiently active lung cancer survivors
Time Frame: conclusion of the study
conclusion of the study
To obtain preliminary data on factors associated with feasibility using variables from Social Cognitive Theory and assess their relationship with treatment adherence and dropout.

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Actual)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.

Study Completion (Actual)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit).
