Brief Summary

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

This pilot clinical trial studies how well aerobic exercise works in improving quality of life and health-related outcomes in patients with stage IV colorectal cancer undergoing chemotherapy. Aerobic exercise during chemotherapy may improve quality of life and reduce fatigue and inflammation in the blood related to heart disease and diabetes in patients with stage IV colorectal cancer.

Detailed Description

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

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine whether a 6-week indoor or outdoor aerobic exercise program is feasible in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) undergoing chemotherapy and to explore patient's preferences for indoor versus (vs.) outdoor exercise.

II. To determine the effects of a 6-week indoor or outdoor aerobic exercise program on cancer-related fatigue and quality of life (QOL) in patients with mCRC.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine the effects of a 6-week indoor or outdoor aerobic exercise program on body composition (lean body mass, fat mass, body fat percentage \[%\]) and biomarkers of systemic inflammation (interleukin-6 \[IL-6\], tumor necrosis factor alpha \[TNF-a\], C-reactive protein \[CRP\]) in patients with mCRC.

TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine the effects of a 6-week exercise program on cardiovascular (CV) function.

OUTLINE:

Patients undergo aerobic exercise sessions consisting of cycling or walking at a low-moderate intensity and progressing to moderate intensity for 30 minutes 2 times a week for up to 8 weeks.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 6 weeks and at weeks 13, 19, and 31.

Quality of Life Assessment

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Newly diagnosed metastatic (stage IV) colorectal cancer
* Undergoing chemotherapy (have had 1 or 2 chemotherapy cycles infused at time of data collection; this will allow for any systemic inflammatory changes due to chemotherapy to set in); only patients with 1st or 2nd line therapy will be included
* Able to initiate a supervised exercise program (free from any CV, respiratory or musculoskeletal disease or joint problems that preclude moderate physical activity)
* Free from uncontrolled chronic disease including diabetes, hypertension, or thyroid disease
* Currently participate in less than 60 minutes of physical activity/week
* Willing to travel to the exercise facility at University of Southern California (USC) (parking fees and public transportation permits will be provided)
* Speak English or Spanish

Exclusion Criteria

* Uncontrolled hypertension or other uncontrolled chronic disease (e.g. diabetes mellitus, thyroid disease, pulmonary disease, etc)
* Moderate to highly active level of physical activity (e.g. currently participating in \> 60 minutes of moderate aerobic activity weekly)
* Orthopedic or other restrictions or contraindications to exercise
* Uncontrolled intercurrent 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
* Patients must not be pregnant or nursing due to the potential for congenital abnormalities and the potential of this regimen to harm nursing infants
