RECRUITING

A Home-Based Prehabilitation Exercise Intervention for Improving Physical Function in Patients With Bladder Cancer and Upper Tract Urothelial Cancer, Get Moving 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

Prehabilitation refers to the process of improving a patient's functional capabilities prior to a surgical procedure with the goal of decreasing post-surgical inactivity and physical decline. This clinical trial evaluates the utility of a personalized home-based prehabilitation exercise intervention for the improvement of physical function and surgical outcomes in patients with urothelial carcinoma undergoing definitive or consolidative surgery of the bladder (radical cystectomy) or upper tract (nephroureterectomy, ureterectomy) with or without preceding neoadjuvant/systemic therapy. The exercise intervention includes at-home exercise sessions focused on the improvement of core strength and balance as well as personalized step count goals, delivered to patients remotely via a smart-device-based application (ExerciseRx). Encouraging physical activity before surgery may improve physical function and surgical outcomes in patients who are scheduled to undergo surgery for their bladder or urothelial cancer.

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:ALL
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:No
Standard Ages:ADULT, OLDER_ADULT
Inclusion CriteriaExclusion Criteria
  1. * 18 years of age or older
  2. * English-speaking
  3. * Planned treatment with radical cystectomy or radical nephroureterectomy/ureterectomy with or without preceding systemic therapy as indicated by the patient's surgeon with enough time to complete a minimum of 4 weeks of exercises before surgery if enrolled in the (P)REHAB arm
  4. * Willing and able to participate in trial activities
  1. * Cognitive/mental impairment that will preclude ability to participate in routine exercise activities. Significant cognitive or memory impairment or baseline dementia that would preclude a patient's ability to follow instructions or reproduce exercises as characterized by scoring \< 24 on the Mini-mental Status Assessment
  2. * Immobility, inability/unwillingness to perform personalized exercise program. Inability to perform exercises safely from seated or standing position at home or recent falls or high fall risk. Neurologic or orthopedic condition that restricts participation in unsupervised home exercises, such as prior stroke with neurologic impairment, weight bearing precautions, unwillingness to participate in exercises
  3. * Inability to understand or read English
  4. * Participants who have nonmuscle-invasive urothelial cancer of the bladder/upper tract anticipating undergoing organ-preserving treatments, or radiographic evidence of metastatic disease involving other organs including brain metastases.
  5. * Patients with predominant histology other than urothelial carcinoma of the bladder or upper tracts (e.g. metastasis from another cancer) who would not otherwise be considered candidates for standard definitive or consolidative surgeries (radical cystectomy, ureterectomy, radical nephroureterectomy) with/without treatment with preoperative/neoadjuvant systemic therapy.Uncontrolled or concurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements
  6. * Pregnant women are excluded from this study
  7. * No access to an Android or iOS smart device with the minimum criteria for using ExerciseRx.
  8. * Not receiving surgery at UWMC
  9. * Participation in a clinical trial that does not permit enrollment in the Get Moving trial.
