Resistance Exercise Combined With Protein Supplementation in People With Pancreatic Cancer: The RE-BUILD Trial
Resistance Exercise Combined With Protein Supplementation for Skeletal Muscle Mass in People With Pancreatic Cancer Undergoing Chemotherapy: The RE-BUILD Trial
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 19 Feb 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The purpose of this research is to determine whether a virtually supervised resistance exercise (RE) intervention combined with protein supplementation (PS) is feasible in pancreatic cancer patients initiating chemotherapy and if it will improve skeletal muscle mass. The names of the study interventions involved in this study are: * Resistance training and protein supplement intake (RE + PS) * Resistance training (RE) * Attention control (AC), home-based stretching

- History of any musculoskeletal, cardiorespiratory or neurological diseases that preclude the participation in exercise.
- Patients expected to receive other cancer directed treatments during the study and assessment period.
Other
- Participates in more than 60 minutes of structured moderate or vigorous exercise/week.
- Currently smokes.
- Subjects, who in the opinion of the investigator, may not be able to comply with the safety monitoring requirements of the study.
- Is unable to travel to DFCI for assessments.
- Patients who are pregnant due to the unknown effects of exercise on the developing fetus.
Who the study is looking for
- Non-metastatic pancreatic cancer patients initiating neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
- Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.
- Over the age of 18 years; children under the age of 18 will be excluded due to rarity of disease.
- Speak English or Spanish.
- Able to provide physician clearance to participate in the exercise program.
