Physiatry-Led Cancer Prehabilitation During Neoadjuvant Systemic Therapy to Improve Function in Stage III-IVA Gynecologic Cancer Patients

19 de mayo de 2026 actualizado por: City of Hope Medical Center

Physiatry-Led Prehabilitation During Neoadjuvant Systemic Treatment Before Surgery for Advanced Gynecological Cancer: A Pilot Feasibility Study

This clinical trial studies whether physiatry-led cancer prehabilitation can be used during systemic treatment before surgery (neoadjuvant systemic treatment [NST]) to improve function in stage III-IVA gynecologic cancer patients. Treatment of gynecologic cancers presents significant challenges to physical and mental health and patients often experience many challenges following treatment including sleep disturbance, extreme tiredness, sexual dysfunction, and bowel and urinary problems. Patients who have low functioning prior to surgery often have worse outcomes following surgery; however, services to support functional shortages often start after surgery. Physiatry-led cancer prehabilitation is a strategy aimed at reducing post-treatment functional challenges by improving physical and mental function before treatment. It involves physiatry, which is a medical specialty focused on function. Physiatry involvement in prehabilitation allows for the evaluation and management of co-existing conditions, medical supervision, and the coordination of complex plans involving multiple teams. Using physiatry-led cancer prehabilitation during NST may be an effective way to improve function in stage III-IVA gynecologic cancer patients.

Descripción general del estudio

Descripción detallada

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Determine feasibility based on adherence (> 70%) across the key components-exercise (aerobic and resistance), nutrition, and mind/spirit practice-in > 70% of enrolled patients for the 28-day period immediately prior to surgery.

II. Evaluate feasibility via enrollment rate > 50% of eligible patients.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Evaluate physical measures: Six Minute Walk Test, Duke Activity Status Index, 30-second Sit to Stand, Short Physical Performance Battery, Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Cancer Function Brief Three Domains (3D) Profile, and body composition.

II. Assess exercise behavior measures: Godin-Shephard Leisure-Time Physical Activity Questionnaire, self-reported exercise activity and future intent, Self-Efficacy for Home Exercise Programs.

III. Evaluate malnutrition risk with Malnutrition Screening Tool. IV. Assess psychological and spiritual distress with relevant measures within the Edmonton Symptom Assessment Scale- Financial and Spiritual Distress (ESAS-FS) and European Quality of Life 5 Dimensions (EQ-5D-5L).

V. Evaluate symptom burden with ESAS-FS and health-related quality of life with EQ-5D-5L.

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

I. Evaluate the impact of the tailored prehabilitation program on disease outcomes as measured by Relative Dose Intensity, pathologic complete response, Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors, and cancer antigen 125 (CA-125).

II. Evaluate the impact of the tailored prehabilitation program on cancer treatment timing by examining time from diagnosis to surgery, time from last chemotherapy cycle to surgery, time from surgery to adjuvant treatment, hospitalizations and length of stay.

III. Evaluate the impact of the tailored prehabilitation program on cancer treatment complications, measured by the incidence of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events [CTCAE] 5.0) and 30-day readmission rate.

IV. Identify future program improvements via a participant feedback survey and/or interview, clinician feedback survey and/or interview, reasons for non-participation, challenges to intervention adherence, and days to consult completion.

V. Document the utilization of multidisciplinary specialty services.

OUTLINE:

Patients attend a cancer physiatry consultation over 1 hour and receive an introduction to the home-based program, a starter prescription, and written prehabilitation education materials before the start of cycle 2 of NST. Patients then follow the provided starter prescription and attempt to meet aerobic exercise, resistance exercise, nutrition, and psychospiritual goals at home during and while off NST in the absence of unacceptable toxicity. Patients also attend additional cancer physiatry consultation follow-ups at 28 days and at 28 days after surgery. Additionally, patients receive resistance bands, sources for nutritional guidance, and practical tips and resources on study and may also receive tailored multidisciplinary referrals as needed.
