Exercise Intervention for Pts With Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer Receiving Abiraterone or Enzalutamide

February 10, 2016 updated by: UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center

Randomized, Controlled Study of an Exercise Intervention Program for Patients With Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer Receiving Either Abiraterone or Enzalutamide

This randomized pilot study will be conducted in men with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) within 3 months of initiating abiraterone or enzalutamide. The purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate the effects of a 12 week exercise intervention in mCRPC patients who have recently started on additional androgen suppression therapy.

Detailed Description

This randomized pilot study will be conducted in men with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) within 3 months of initiating abiraterone or enzalutamide. The purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate the effects of a 12 week exercise intervention in mCRPC patients who have recently started on additional androgen suppression therapy. The investigators will also explore the effects of the exercise training on biomarkers of inflammation-hormonal status and their potential association with changes in lean mass and function.

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Supportive Care
  • Allocation: Randomized
  • Interventional Model: Parallel Assignment
  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Exercise Intervention Arm
The exercise intervention will consist of a combination of aerobic (cardiovascular exercise) and strength training (emphasis of the intervention) 3 times per week for 12 weeks with each session lasting ~1.5 hours.
Behavioral: Exercise
No Intervention: Non-Exercise Control Arm
Participants in the Non-Exercise Control Arm will not exercise for 12 weeks.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in lean mass between mCPRC patients undergoing a 12-week exercise intervention (intervention group) and mCPRC patients who do not undergo the exercise intervention (control group)
Time Frame: 12 weeks
DEXA (Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) scans will measure lean mass at baseline and after the 12-week intervention.
12 weeks
