Pilot Study Evaluating the Impact of Targeted Physical Activity Among Frail Pancreatic Cancer Patients Receiving Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 24 Jun 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

Patients with pancreatic cancer receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy often experience functional decline, treatment interruptions, and clinical deterioration, and these risks may be amplified when frailty is present.

Built from the registry fields of ClinicalTrials.gov. It describes the study, not your situation.

Who cannot take part

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

Other illness

  • Medical condition that, in the judgment of the investigator and/or treating clinician, makes exercise unsafe (e.g., unstable angina, uncontrolled arrhythmia, decompensated heart failure, uncontrolled severe pulmonary disease).
  • Severe symptoms or functional impairment that prevents safe participation despite program modification.

Other

  • Adults unable to consent.
  • Any absolute contraindication to exercise participation/testing per institutional standards.
  • Inability to comply with the intervention schedule and study procedures despite reasonable scheduling accommodations.

Who the study is looking for

  • Age ≥18 years
  • Diagnosis of pancreatic cancer that is potentially resectable per the treating clinical team's assessment.
  • Planned to receive or actively receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy prior to surgery.
  • Frail or pre-frail as defined by the protocol-specified frailty assessment tool (e.g., Fried Frailty Phenotype; pre-frail = 1-2 criteria; frail =\> 3 criteria).
  • Able to provide written informed consent.
  • Medically appropriate to participate in supervised, symptom-limited exercise as determined by study screening and, if indicated, the treating clinician's input.
  • Able to complete study assessments and questionnaires in English or Spanish (using IRB- approved instruments/materials).

Age in the registry: 18 years to - · Sex: All · Does not accept healthy volunteers
