Who cannot take part

Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.

Other illness

  • Presence of medical conditions, such as severe cardiovascular disease for which an exercise intervention may not be warranted.

Criteria the registry did not label

  • Inclusion Criteria:
  • Age ≥ 18 years
  • Able to read and speak English fluently
  • Capable of giving informed consent
  • Reported ability to complete 20-30 minutes moderate exercise per positive response to "can you currently walk unaided for six minutes or more?".
  • Scheduled for first-time checkpoint blockade immunotherapy with FDA-approved drugs, including avelumab, cemiplimab, ipilimumab, nivolumab, pembrolizumab or relatlimab in the absence of other therapies (e.g. targeted therapy)
  • Melanoma patients (adjuvant setting)
  • Melanoma patients (neoadjuvant setting)
  • cuSCC patients (neoadjuvant setting)
  • Merkel cell carcinoma patients (neoadjuvant setting)
    • Participants may also be required to have a full COVID vaccination series; the most up-to-date best practice guidelines for research at Moffitt Cancer Center will dictate the need for such a vaccination series.
