Brief Summary

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

This clinical trial evaluates the impact of a tailored physical activity program on physical activity in patients with breast cancer that has spread from where it first started to other places in the body (metastatic). It has been shown that decreased physical activity contributes to poor performance and quality of life. Evidence has also shown that exercise could improve physical fitness, physical functioning, quality of life, and cancer-related fatigue, however, there is concern that it may not be available to those with physical limitations. The proposed physical activity program offers a comprehensive and individualized assessment for each metastatic breast cancer patient and includes a high quality, tailored exercise home-based program designed by an advanced qualified cancer exercise specialist. A tailored physical activity program may improve physical activity in metastatic breast cancer patients.

Detailed Description

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

This single-arm study aims to evaluate the impact of participation in a physical rehabilitation program tailored for metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients on physical activity, quality of life (QOL), and patient satisfaction.

The study will enroll approximately 50 female patients aged 18 or older who were initially diagnosed with metastatic disease within 60 months of enrollment and are continuing treatment for metastatic disease at Jefferson Health. Enrollment will be balanced at an approximate 1:1 ratio, including 25 African American or Hispanic (non-White) patients and 25 White Caucasian patients who meet eligibility criteria during the 24-month study period.

The primary goal is to develop a physical activity program that addresses a key social determinant of health-physical inactivity-particularly among women of color with MBC. The study will further assess the impact of this program on physical activity, physical function, and quality of life.

The proposed program will provide a comprehensive, individualized assessment for each participant and include a high-quality, home-based exercise regimen directed by an advanced cancer exercise specialist.

Intervention:

A virtual program through 2Unstoppable will be offered. This 6-week, small-group program combines cardio and strength training to help women with metastatic cancer safely and confidently engage in physical activity in a supportive environment. The program meets exercise recommendations from the American Cancer Society (ACS) and the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) for cancer patients and survivors and is led by an advanced cancer exercise specialist.

Study Groups

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

Supportive care (virtual exercise sessions)

The 2Unstoppable Strong program is 6 weeks with a weekly live via Zoom but also recorded exercise class. All participants will complete a phone screening (with 2Unstoppable) to determine eligibility and interest; a 30-minute assessment with the instructor over Zoom or FaceTime to review health history, concerns, \& limitations; then provide a signed Physician Release, a signed liability waiver and a completed health questionnaire.
