POSITIVE - Study (Part III) Heidelberg (POSITIVE)

22 augusti 2018 uppdaterad av: German Cancer Research Center

Physical Exercise Program in Lung Cancer Patients With Non-operable Disease Undergoing Palliative Treatment

The investigators plan to evaluate, in a randomized, controlled phase III trial in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the effects of a 24-week exercise intervention program (EIP) on quality of life, physical functioning and immune function parameters. Eligible patients (n=250) will be enrolled in the Clinic for Thoracic Diseases, Heidelberg, over a time period of two years and followed up for a total of 12 months.

Patients will be randomized either to EIP plus Care Management Phone Calls (CMPC) versus CMPC alone (besides a proper symptom and side effect management CMPC ensures the potential influence of social contacts that can be anticipated for the patients in the intervention group).

Our primary aims are to investigate whether a combination of a partly supervised (in- and outpatient) and partly home-based endurance and resistance training improves quality of life (QoL) and lowers levels of fatigue (evaluation via the standardized and validated questionnaires FACT-L and MFI). In addition we propose to evaluate the effects of EIP on tumor specific immune responses. Biomarkers of immune function will be measured by cellular immunity and cytokine and chemokine panels.

Further secondary outcomes include measurement of anxiety, depression and demoralization, physical performance parameters (e.g. improvement in walk distance, muscle strength), as well as overall and progression free survival analyses.

The study builds on a previous feasibility study of a 8 weeks exercise intervention trial in patients with advanced NSCLC with the results being utilized in the design of the here proposed trial.

The investigators hypothesize that patients randomized in the exercise intervention group will show improved QoL and reduced fatigue, as well as improved physical functioning and increased tumor specific immune responses.

Deltagargrupp / Arm
Intervention / Behandling
Experimentell: Exercise Intervention Program (EIP)

Inpatient periods: The combined resistance and endurance program consist of free weight and rubber band training for major upper and lower body muscle groups respectively of cycling/walking on an ergometer/treadmill 3x/week.

Outpatient periods (3x/week at least two/one supervised training sessions): Supervised training sessions in the local outpatient training center will comprise of resistance exercise on machines and endurance training on an ergometer/treadmill. For non-supervised training session during the outpatient period participants will receive an exercise manual for individualized home-based exercising.

In weekly phone calls, the advanced practice nurse will review adherence to the intervention and identify problems. Furthermore, the patients will also be asked the same questions as in the CMPC group.
Beteende: Övning Intervention
Övrig: Care-Management-Phone-Calls
Aktiv komparator: Care-Management-Phone-Calls (CMPC)
Patients in this arm will receive a weekly "care-management-phone-call" (CMPC), performed by an advanced practice nurse (APN). The CMPCs are based on a structured questionnaire, reflecting pain, shortness of breath, disturbed sleep, exhaustion and distress and potentially treatment related side effects (e.g. infections, polyneuropathy, etc.). In case of demanding management of symptoms or complaints (e.g. uncontrolled pain or breathlessness) the treating physician is contacted by the APN to facilitate improvement.

Åtgärdsbeskrivning
Tidsram
QoL: Physical Well-Being (FACT-L)
Tidsram: assessed after 12 weeks of enrolement
The FACT-L (Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Lung) questionnaire comprises of 36 items and deter-mines the quality of life in patients with lung cancer. It is separated in the subcategories "physical well-being" (PRIMARY OUTCOME), "emotional well-being", "social well-being", "functional well-being and disease-specific items". It is widely used in clinical studies and was already applied in exercise intervention studies in lung cancer patients
assessed after 12 weeks of enrolement
General Fatigue (MFI)
Tidsram: assessed after 12 weeks of enrolement
The MFI (Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory) questionnaire (20 items) evaluates the extent of chronic fatigue and is divided into the 5 subscales "general fatigue", "physical fatigue", "mental fatigue", "reduced motivation" and "reduced activity". The MFI questionnaire is widely used in oncological studies and an adequate number of comparative samples exists.

Physical Performance (endurance and strength capacity)
Tidsram: assessed every 3 month after enrolement until month 12

6-Minute Walk Test (endurance capacity) The 6 minute walk test is feasible and safe to determine patients physical capacity. Patients are instructed to walk in 6 min. as many meters as possible with oxygen saturation and pulse rate being measured concomitantly.

Hand-held Dynamometry (isometric strength capacity) The hand-held dynamometry is a standardized instrument to measure muscular strength. In the study 6 major muscle groups of upper and lower extremities will be assessed for their isometric power.
assessed every 3 month after enrolement until month 12
Psychosocial Parameters (e.g. depression, anxiety, demoralization)
Tidsram: assessed every 3 month after enrolement until month 12

PHQ(Ultra-Brief Patient Health Questionnaire)-4 :

The PHQ-4 (Ultra-Brief Patient Health Questionnaire) questionnaire is a short instrument comprising of 4 items to detect the extent of depression and anxiety. It provides sufficient diagnostic accuracy for major depression and can be used as a screening instrument in cancer populations.

DS (Demoralization Scale) The demoralization scale (DS) is a relatively new developed questionnaire to detect the extent of existential distress in cancer patients. The German version was validated in 2011 and comprises of 24 questions. The results of the validation showed that the concept of demoralization is a useful instrument to describe the different states of existential distress and the individual incapacity to cope effectively with stressful situations.
