NCT04981821

Brief Summary

This is a phase 2 randomized controlled trial (RCT) to assess the preliminary efficacy of the a mobile health exercise intervention (GO-EXCAP) versus a chemotherapy education control in 100 older patients with MN receiving outpatient chemotherapy on physical function and patient-reported outcomes (fatigue, mood, and quality of life). We will also explore the effect of the intervention on TNFα and related cytokine gene promoter methylation and their gene and protein expression.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Difference between experimental and active comparator arms- Physical Function

    Changes in physical function measured using the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) which an objective physical assessment evaluating lower extremity physical function (score ranges from 0-12; higher score indicates better physical function). It is comprised of 3 components: a four-meter walk, repeated chair stands and a balance test (the score for each component ranges from 0-4).

    12 Weeks

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Difference between experimental and active comparator arms -Fatigue

    12 Weeks

  • Difference between experimental and active comparator arms -Depression

    12 Weeks

  • Difference between experimental and active comparator arms -Quality of Life

    12 Weeks

Other Outcomes (3)

  • Difference between experimental and active comparator arms -Inflammatory cytokines

    12 Weeks

  • Difference between experimental and active comparator arms- DNA methylation in the TNFα promoter region

    12 Weeks

  • Difference between experimental and active comparator arms- TNFα gene expression

    12 Weeks

Study Arms (2)

GO-EXCAP

EXPERIMENTAL

GO-EXCAP Mobile App involves the use of a mobile app delivery platform to deliver an exercise program \[Exercise for Cancer Patients (EXCAP©®)\]. EXCAP©®) is a progressive walking and resistance exercise program

Behavioral: GO-EXCAP Mobile App

Behavioral Placebo Control

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Participants will meet with an oncology nurse (for approximately 60 min) to review the NCI booklet Chemotherapy and You: Support for People With Cancer, which includes facts about chemotherapy and its side effects. They will be provided with NCI online resources to review at home.

Behavioral: Behavioral Placebo Control

Data Sharing

IPD Sharing
Will share

A complete and final study protocol will be made publicly available through the University of Rochester Cancer Center Community Oncology Research Program Research Base Protocol and Data Sharing Committee. The full protocol and data will be made publicly available no later than the publication date of the study findings from the final dataset. The protocol will include a detailed description of the study population, hypotheses tested, measurement and assessment information, data definitions and codes, and the analysis plan utilized. We will also make this protocol available to NIH and NCI at the time of submission of each progress report and at the end of the final funding year. We will be collecting identifying information. The final dataset will be stripped of identifiers prior to release for sharing.Published papers will be made available in portable document format.
