Debunking the Frailty-sarcopenIa-ADT Axis in mEtastatic Prostate canceR With multiComponent Exercise: The FIERCE Trial

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 determine whether a 16-week supervised, clinic-based circuit training intervention utilizing resistance and functional exercises and self-directed aerobic exercise will improve frailty and sarcopenic status and disease progression outcomes among pre-frail/frail metastatic prostate cancer patients receiving androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). The names of the study intervention involved in this study is: • Supervised circuit training (aerobic and resistance exercise regimen)

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Ages Eligible for Study:18 Years
Sexes Eligible for Study:MALE
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:No
Standard Ages:ADULT, OLDER_ADULT
Inclusion CriteriaExclusion Criteria
  1. * Ability to understand and the willingness to sign informed consent prior to any study-related procedures.
  2. * Diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer.
  3. * Aged ≥18 years; due to the rarity of the disease in those \<18 years, this age bracket will not be included.
  4. * Have been receiving androgen deprivation (either with or without androgen receptor targeted treatment) for at least one month and expect to remain on their treatment for at least 4 months.
  5. * Are pre-frail or frail as indicated by the FRAIL scale (a score of 1-2 = pre-frail; 3-5 = frail).
  6. * Have physician's clearance to participate in exercise.
  7. * Speak English.
  8. * Participate in less than 2 structured resistance exercise sessions per week over the last 4 months.
  9. * Participate in less than or equal to 60 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous aerobic exercise per week over the last month.
  10. * Willing to travel to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute for necessary data collection and exercise sessions.
  1. * Receiving chemotherapy. This study is exclusively targeting androgen deprivation therapy-related effects.
  2. * Have unstable bone lesions. In general patients with severely symptomatic/unstable bone lesions due to bone metastases are at a higher risk of fractures.
  3. * Complete 2 or more structured resistance exercise sessions per week over the last 4 months and participate in more than 60 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous aerobic exercise per week over the last month. Excess additional exercise is a confounding factor in assessing the effect of the current exercise program.
  4. * Unstable comorbidities that prevent participation in moderate-to-vigorous intensity exercise. Patients with unstable comorbidities likely require supervised exercise for safety, and part of this study involves unsupervised exercise; therefore, for safety reasons, these persons are excluded.
  5. * Patients receiving treatment for other active malignancies (except basal cell carcinoma). This study is exclusively targeting androgen deprivation therapy-related effects.
  6. * Subjects who in the opinion of the investigators may not be able to comply with the safety monitoring requirements of the study.
