The purpose of this research is to validate the prehabilitation program which is defined as a set of interventions meant to prepare the body physically and nutritionally for the cystectomy procedure.

Study Overview

Status

Status

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

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.

Detailed Description

This research study is testing the efficacy of the prehabilitation study which is a set of investigational interventions and also tries to define the most appropriate and effective set type of interventions to use for further studies. "Investigational" means that the intervention is being studied. In this research study, the investigators hope to learn whether or not this combination of prehabilitation interventions has an impact on the recoverability of participants who will undergo cystectomy or bladder removal surgery. The 5 interventions that make up the prehabilitation study are:

  • Participant Interview (If one of the first ten participants)
  • Exercise Testing
  • Exercise Training
  • Nutritional Support
  • Clinical Assessment of Nutritional Status

Study Type

Enrollment (Anticipated)

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.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 85 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes
