RECRUITING

Exercise in Metastatic Breast Cancer: EMBody

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

The purpose of this study is to study exercise in a novel population with indolent MBC (no progression on current therapy in prior 12 months and not receiving cytotoxic chemotherapy). The study team hypothesizes that delivering virtual, supervised, progressive intensity aerobic and resistance training exercise for 16 weeks in this population will significantly improve 1) cardiorespiratory fitness, functional status, and sarcopenia (low muscle mass), all established predictors of survival, and 2) patient- reported outcomes.

  5. 2. Participants on no treatment or "no evidence of disease" but still with a diagnosis of metastatic breast cancer are eligible
  6. 4. ECOG performance status of 0-2
  7. 5. Ability to walk on a treadmill without assistive device.
  8. 6. Informed consent and authorization of the release of health information must be obtained according to institutional guidelines
  9. 7. Currently not meeting physical activity guidelines (defined as less than 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous exercise per week measured by the RPAQ questionnaire administered during screening)
