Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (64)

  • Quantification of the immune cell subsets (to determine if occur the re-setting antitumor immunity by short-term physical exercise)

    Immune cells will be analyzed for frequency and function by 10-color flow cytometry to test the reciprocal balance of protumor vs antitumor immune subsets. The analysis, based in the application of multiple panels of different antibodies, will be performed on peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) isolated from peripheral blood.

    AEP group: before exercise session.

Study Arms (2)

AEP Group

EXPERIMENTAL

First series of patients (10 pts) will be assigned to the Acute Exercise Protocol Group (AEP Group). The acute program consists in a single walking session on a treadmill lasting 80 minutes. The exercise session will begin with a 10-minute warm-up at the patient's self selected comfortable speed. On the ending of warm up, treadmill speed will be increased until reaching target HRR zone. Then the treadmill speed will be maintained stable throughout the exercise session. Cardiac workload will be monitored by a Sport-watch (Garmin Forerunner) and the walking biomechanics by a foot sensor (Garmin Running Dynamic Pod Sensore).

Other: AEP Group Walking Sessions

CEP Group

EXPERIMENTAL

Second series of patients (10 pts) will be assigned to the Chronic Exercise Protocol Group (CEP Group). The chronic program consists in a walking session on a treadmill lasting 80 minutes (depending on the AEP results), repeated three time a week for three weeks. The walking intensity will be defined during a treadmill test performedbefore the beginning of the exercise program. Each exercise session will beginwith a 10-minute warm-up at the patient's self selected comfortable speed. On the ending of warm up, patients will increase treadmill speed until reaching target HRR zone.Then the treadmill speed will be maintained stable throughout the exercise session. The first training session will be organized in hospital with supervision of research staff. Cardiac workload will be monitored by a Sport-watch (Garmin Forerunner) and walking biomechanics by a foot sensor (Garmin Running Dynamic Pod Sensore).

Intervention Model
SEQUENTIAL
Model Details: Pre/post intervention, two-arms, sequential study. Patients with newly diagnose of melanoma are eligible.The study will enroll a total of 20 patients (10 in the AEP and 10 in the CEP), who will be enrolled approximately in 12-13 months.The first series of patients will be assigned to the Acute Exercise Program (AEP group), the second series to the Chronic Exercise Program (CEP group). The final endpoint is to verify whether short-term physical exercise can represent a feasible and safe tool for re-setting antitumor immunity in early melanoma patients. Investigators will analyze how the acute physical exercise modifies systemic immunity and biochemical/metabolic parameters. Specifically, Investigators will verify whether the exercise will modify:1 the immunological profiling of blood including frequency and function of MDSC, together with the concomitant status of antitumor immunity; 2 blood concentration of biochemical and metabolic parameters related to physical exercise and immunity

Since the study data could be compared with those obtained from other clinical studies, focused on the immune system, this part is not yet defined. Anyhow it will depend on the results obtained.
