A Feasibility Study to Examine the Impact of Remotely Monitored Exercise Interventions on Cardiorespiratory/Muscular Fitness and Fatigue in Patients With Metastatic Castrate-sensitive Prostate Cancer (mCSPC) Undergoing Treatment With Androgen-deprivation Therapy (ADT) Intensification
Paul Viscuse
Summary
This study consists of two home-based exercise programs: a stationary exercise bicycle intervention (Arm A), and a walking intervention (Arm B). The study will enroll 24 patients who are starting ADT (Androgen Deprivation Therapy)/ARSI (Androgen-Receptor Signaling Inhibitors) therapy for newly diagnosed metastatic castrate-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC). All participants will be asked to complete 1-2 training sessions at UVA prior to starting the exercise. All participants will be asked to complete aerobic and strength testing before and after the exercise program. Participants will be asked to answer questionnaires throughout the program. The at-home exercise will last for 12 weeks.
Description
The purpose of this study is to find out how many patients who are being treated for mCSPC complete one of two home-based exercise programs. The researchers want to find out how much exercise participants complete and how satisfied they are with the program. Another purpose of this study is to learn if doing the exercise changes fitness levels and/or muscle strength, and what relationship those changes might have on feeling tired during cancer treatment. Participants will be randomly assigned (like the flip of a coin) to one of two home-based exercise programs: * Arm A: A high intensity inte…
