Physical Rehabilitation Among Patients Undergoing Radical Cystectomy Due to Urinary Bladder Cancer (CanMoRe)

October 10, 2023 updated by: Maria Hagströmer, Karolinska Institutet

The Effect of Physical Rehabilitation Among Patients Undergoing Radical Cystectomy Due to Urinary Bladder Cancer - the CanMoRe Study

The main objective of the CanMoRe study is to evaluate the impact of a standardized and individually adapted exercise intervention in Primary Health Care aiming at improving physical function (primary outcome) and habitual physical activity, health related quality of life, fatigue and psychological well-being in patients undergoing radical cystectomy due to urinary bladder cancer.

Detailed Description

The most common treatment for solid cancer tumours is surgery, often in combination with chemo- and/or radiotherapy. To minimise the postoperative complications is important in today's health care. Early mobilisation at the ward and physical activity at home after discharge, have been shown to be important parts to reduce complications. Common complications after abdominal surgery are postoperative pulmonary complications and venous thrombosis. One of the conditions that suffers the most from different kinds of postoperative complications is radical cystectomy due to urinary bladder cancer. Complications after radical cystectomy could be direct related to the patients' high age and also high degree of comorbidity.

There is today strong evidence that physical activity has a positive impact on health, survival and quality of life. Patients who have been treated for urinary bladder cancer are not sufficiently physical active and suffer from readmissions to hospital due to complications. Therefore, there is a need for developing and testing a physical rehabilitation programme to support patients who have a radical cystectomy, in the early postoperative period.

The CanMoRe study is a randomized controlled trial with a single-blinded design evaluating an exercise intervention in Primary Health Care as part of the CanMoRe programme. In addition, a qualitative study (interviews) on patient's experience of the programme will be conducted as well as data gathered on factors that might influence the implementation of the programme.

Then CanMoRe programme consists of preoperative information, the Activity Board used for enhanced mobilization during hospital stay, a 12-week, (1 h, 2 times/week) standardized and individually adapted exercise intervention in Primary Health Care and behavioral support for daily physical activity. The CanMoRe programme is evaluated in two steps, i.e. the in-hospital intervention using the Activity Board (published) and the exercise intervention in Primary Health Care reported herein.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

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.

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
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.
Experimental: Individualized exercise
The intervention group get a referral to physiotherapist in Primary Health Care in Stockholm County Council, close to where they live. Within the third week after discharge, the patients begin twelve weeks of biweekly exercise. The physical exercise is individually targeted aerobic and strength exercises, based on international recommendations for persons with cancer disease. The program is approved by resposible surgeons.

Active Comparator: Active control group
Oral and written information of a home-based exercise programme and information of supportive techniques to improve physical activity
Other: Home exercise
