Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Adapted Physical Activity (APA) program may provide an opportunity to improve symptoms for patients with unresectable pancreatic cancer.

Thereby, it is proposed to conduct an open trial to assess effects of the APA program in such population

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The benefit of Adapted Physical Activity (APA) has been demonstrated after cancer diagnosis in term of symptomatic improvement: reducing fatigue, pain and improving the quality of life, psychological and emotional state, and adherence to treatment.

The aim of the study is to assess the effects of an APA program in pancreatic cancer population treated by usual chemotherapy.

200 randomized patients are required.

The program is organized in 16 weeks. During the trial, assessments include: aerobic exercises, muscular strength, six-minute walk test, body composition (bioimpedance, L3 CT-scan), level of physical activity - International Physical Activity Questionnaire - (IPAQ questionnaire), fatigue - Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory - (MFI-20 questionnaire), quality of life - EORTC Quality of Life questionnaire C-30 - (EORTC QLQ-30 questionnaire), depression symptom - Hospital Anxiety and depression scale - (HADS questionnaire), pain (Brief Pain Inventory Short form), and nutritional evaluation (BMI, ingests EVA).

Furthermore, relationships between insulin resistance, insulin secretion, Insulin like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1) and pancreatic carcinogenesis exist. APA may improve the quality of life in decreasing insulin-resistance, insulin secretion and IGF-1.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Standard care without APA program

The control arm corresponds to usual care (without APA), including :

* Weekday hospital chemotherapy (every 7 or 14 days, depending on chemotherapy protocol)
* Evaluation by the oncologist at the usual rate
* Assessment every 8 weeks (TAP scan + CA-19.9)
* Nutritional, psychological and pain management as recommended, according to the usual schedule.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

without APA program

Intervention Type OTHER

Control Arm : chemotherapy alone

Standard care with APA program

The experimental arm corresponds to usual care, combined with a 16-week APA program.

The APA program consisted of personalized aerobic and resistance exercises, with a weekly remote supervision by an APA professional trainer, and unsupervised sessions with a family member or friend (APA partner).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

APA program

Intervention Type OTHER

Experimental Arm : chemotherapy + APA program during 16 weeks (aerobic and muscular strength exercises)
