February 2, 2026 updated by: University of Colorado, Denver

The Effects of Cardiorespiratory Fitness, Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior on Insulin Resistance Among Breast Cancer Survivors Being Treated With Anti-estrogen Endocrine Therapies

The aim of this study is to learn more about how physical activity and cardiorespiratory fitness are related to diabetes risk among breast cancer patients prescribed an endocrine therapy.

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.

Detailed Description

80 women between the ages of 18-80 years will be recruited for this study. The study design consists of two separate in-person visits to University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus or Colorado State University. The study consists of glucose testing, a body composition scan, exercise testing, and a two-week period of free living activity monitoring.

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

  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

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.
SERM
These patients are being treated with a SERM for at least one year prior to enrolling in the study.
Other: No intervention
No intervention is performed. Participants who have been treated with either a SERM or aromatase inhibitor are recruited and analyzed in separate groups, but the study design for all participants is identical.
Aromatase Inhibitor
These patients are being treated with an aromatase inhibitor for at least one year prior to enrolling in the study.
Other: No intervention
No intervention is performed. Participants who have been treated with either a SERM or aromatase inhibitor are recruited and analyzed in separate groups, but the study design for all participants is identical.

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
Measure Description
Time Frame
Insulin Resistance
Time Frame: Immediately after the consent form is signed
Insulin resistance will be measured through oral glucose tolerance testing
Immediately after the consent form is signed
Body Composition
Time Frame: Immediately after the insulin resistance measurement
Body composition will be measured through DEXA scan
Immediately after the insulin resistance measurement
Maximal Exercise Capacity
Time Frame: Within 2-60 days of insulin resistance measurement
Maximal exercise capacity measured through graded exercise test on stationary bicycle
Within 2-60 days of insulin resistance measurement
Daily Activity
Time Frame: 2-60 days following insulin resistance measurement
Daily activity measured using activity monitor
2-60 days following insulin resistance measurement

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.
February 14, 2022

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.
