March 24, 2009 updated by: Groupe de recherche en Urologie de la Mauricie

Pedometer and Exercise Study: A Randomized Trial Evaluating the Use of a Pedometer and Brief Exercise Coaching in Prostate Cancer Patients Treated With Androgen Deprivation Therapy.

A randomized clinical trial evaluating the use of a pedometer and brief exercise coaching in prostate cancer patients treated with androgen deprivation therapy. The investigators want to demonstrate if there are less side effects of hormonal therapy and better quality of life in patients who made regular exercise.

  • Histologically proven prostate cancer
  • Treatment plan is to administer long term ADT (androgen deprivation therapy).
  • Patient must currently be treated with ADT for at least 2 weeks before enrollment in trial, and for no more than 6 months.

  • Any co-morbidity restraining the patient's ability to walk alone or to modify his walking habits (eg Parkinson's disease, advanced multiple sclerosis, leg amputation, ...)
  • Any concomitant condition that would make it undesirable, in the physician's opinion, for the subject to participate in the trial or would jeopardize compliance with the protocol.
  • Any contraindication to undertake the 6-minutes walk test (unstable angina or myocardial infarction during the previous month, a resting heart rate of more than 180, systolic blood pressure of more than 180, and a diastolic pressure of more than 100).
