RE-FIT (Remote Exercise for Physical Function in WTC Responders With Prostate Cancer)
A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial of Remote Exercise to Improve Physical Function in World Trade Center (WTC) Responders With Prostate Cancer
Forrás: ClinicalTrials.gov · Utoljára frissítve: 2026. febr. 27.
Rövid összefoglaló (regiszter, angolul)
People who responded to the World Trade Center (WTC) disaster on September 11, 2001 were exposed to toxic dust and smoke and have higher rates of certain health problems, including prostate cancer. Many WTC Responders with prostate cancer experience ongoing physical limitations, fatigue, and reduced quality of life, even after completing cancer treatment. Regular exercise can improve strength, balance, physical function, and well-being in people with cancer, but many men with prostate cancer do not meet recommended physical activity levels. Barriers such as travel, health concerns, and lack of access to tailored programs can make it difficult to participate in exercise programs. This pilot study will test whether a remotely delivered, supervised group exercise program is feasible and acceptable for WTC Responders with prostate cancer. The exercise program is delivered live by videoconference and is based on an established, evidence-based program for older adults. It includes aerobic, strength, balance, and flexibility exercises and is designed to be safe, supportive, and accessible to people living in different locations. A total of 40 WTC Responders with a history of prostate cancer will take part in this study. Participants will be randomly assigned to either (1) a 16-week remote exercise program or (2) a waitlist control group that receives usual care during the study period and is offered the exercise program after completing all study assessments. Participants in the exercise group will attend three one-hour exercise sessions per week using videoconferencing. The main goals of this study are to determine whether participants can be successfully recruited and retained, whether they attend and complete the exercise sessions, and whether they find the program acceptable and helpful. The study will also explore whether the exercise program improves physical function, physical activity, and quality of life. Physical function will be measured using simple movement tests performed remotely, and physical activity will be measured using a wearable activity monitor. Participants will also complete questionnaires about their health, physical functioning, and experiences with the program. In addition, this study will evaluate whether it is feasible for participants to collect saliva samples at home and return them by mail for future research. A subset of participants will be invited to complete interviews to share their experiences and provide feedback on how the program could be improved. Results from this pilot study will help inform the design of a larger future trial aimed at improving physical function and quality of life for WTC Responders with prostate cancer through accessible, remotely delivered exercise programs.
