Home-based Preoperative Exercise Training for Lung Cancer Patients

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Lung cancer accounts for over 11% of global cancer incidence and is the leading cause of cancer death, with numbers in 2020 reaching 1.8 million deaths worldwide. For early-stage lung cancer patients, surgical resection is the recommended treatment and the intervention associated with a better prognosis. However, in consequence of surgery there is a substantial deterioration in health-related quality of life across most dimensions, especially in the first month, with 100% of lung cancer patients concerned about the limitations in their physical function and 96% about the levels of fatigue and pain after lobectomy. Additionally, some patients developed postoperative pulmonary complications, which are associated with increased length of hospital stay and higher risk of mortality. In this context, and considering that the number of lung cancer cases with an indication for surgery will increase by 60% from 2018 to 2040, to find feasible and effective interventions that could optimize postoperative recovery is of major clinical relevance. The primary purpose of this study will be to evaluate the efficacy of home-based preoperative exercise training to improve health-related quality of life after lung cancer surgery. The secondary purpose of this study will be to evaluate the efficacy of the home-based exercise program to improve physical performance and to reduce postoperative complications /length of hospital stay. Participants will be randomly allocated to a preoperative exercise intervention, that will consist of combined aerobic and resistance exercise, or to a control group that will receive usual care (i.e., no exercise training). Based on the strong evidence indicating a therapeutic effect of exercise training on fatigue and physical function, domains of HRQOL especially affected after lung cancer surgery, the investigators hypothesized that the home-based exercise program will be effective to improve these domains before surgery and attenuate its deterioration after surgery, optimizing the recovery in postoperative HRQOL.

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
