Pediatric Physical Activity for Children With Cancer

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this pilot study is to test the feasibility and participant adherence (pediatric patients diagnosed with childhood cancer) to a virtual, 12-week physical activity program. The aims of this project are to: 1. Determine the feasibility of administering the program and patient acceptability. 2. Report program adherence and completion rates. 3. Explore trends on the impact of a virtual PA intervention on psychosocial health and physical fitness. Participants will undergo pre- and post-assessments including measurements of fitness, self-reported fatigue and depression symptoms, social support, and current amount of physical activity. Patients will then be invited to participate in two consecutive, 12-week virtual physical activity interventions with similar-aged peers (2x/week, 60 minutes/session) over 2 rounds.

Clinical Trial Description

It is critical for childhood cancer patients to maintain a physical activity (PA) regime as they are at an increased risk of developing co-morbidities. PA engagement is associated with positive psychosocial outcomes, and it has the potential to improve cardiopulmonary and musculoskeletal function. Patients will be enrolled and will undergo baseline assessments of fitness and quality of life as part of their standard care, and additional measures that include fatigue, depression, social support, and PA volume will be measured. Patients will be invited to participate in a 12-week virtual PA intervention with similar-aged peers (2x/week, 60 minutes/session). Patients will be led through activities that are culturally relevant and age-appropriate. At the end of the 12-week intervention, the same tests will be completed. The patients will have an opportunity to receive 2 interventions. A mixed method design will be used, where quantitative data will include information related to feasibility, PA volume, physical fitness, and psychosocial health measures, and qualitative data will be collected from the patients during the focus groups. ;

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.
