Study summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility of a home-based adapted physical activity during neoadjuvant chemotherapy for HER2+ breast cancer.

Read the detailed description

After the assessment of their physical fitness, a home-based adapted physical activity program composed by aerobic and muscle strengthening exercises will be delivered to each patient. The aim of the intervention is to reach international recommendation in a progressive way during neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Rate of patients reaching international physical activity recommendations for post-neoadjuvant chemotherapy assessment

    Time spent to physical activity and sedentariness will be evaluated by Recent Physical Activity Questionnaire (RPAQ)

    Time frame: Change from baseline (T0: before neoadjuvant chemotherapy) at the 5 months (T1: end of neoadjuvant chemotherapy)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Longitudinal evolution of RPAQ score

    Time frame: Before (T0) and at the end (T1 : + 5 months) of neoadjuvant chemotherapy + before (T2 : + 8 months) and at the end (T3 : 20 month) of targeted therapy

  2. Quality of life : Quality of Life Questionnaire-C30

    Time frame: Before (T0) and at the end (T1 : + 5 months) of neoadjuvant chemotherapy + before (T2 : + 8 months) and at the end (T3 : 20 month) of targeted therapy

  3. Asthenia : Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory-20

    Time frame: Before (T0) and at the end (T1 : + 5 months) of neoadjuvant chemotherapy + before (T2 : + 8 months) and at the end (T3 : 20 month) of targeted therapy

  4. Anthropometrics measurements

    BMI

    Time frame: Before (T0) and at the end (T1 : + 5 months) of neoadjuvant chemotherapy + before (T2 : + 8 months) and at the end (T3 : 20 month) of targeted therapy

  5. Anthropometrics measurements

    Hip circumference (cm)

    Time frame: Before (T0) and at the end (T1 : + 5 months) of neoadjuvant chemotherapy + before (T2 : + 8 months) and at the end (T3 : 20 month) of targeted therapy

  6. Physical capacity : six-minutes walking distance test

    Time frame: Before (T0) and at the end (T1 : + 5 months) of neoadjuvant chemotherapy + before (T2 : + 8 months) and at the end (T3 : 20 month) of targeted therapy

  7. Physical capacity : Voluntary muscular strength

    Time frame: Before (T0) and at the end (T1 : + 5 months) of neoadjuvant chemotherapy + before (T2 : + 8 months) and at the end (T3 : 20 month) of targeted therapy

  8. Physical capacity : VO2max

    This measure is optional

    Time frame: Before (T0) and at the end (T1 : + 5 months) of neoadjuvant chemotherapy + before (T2 : + 8 months) and at the end (T3 : 20 month) of targeted therapy

  9. Lipid profile : total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, triglycerides

    Time frame: Before (T0) and at the end (T1 : + 5 months) of neoadjuvant chemotherapy + before (T2 : + 8 months) and at the end (T3 : 20 month) of targeted therapy

  10. Ventricular ejection fraction assessed by echocardiography or cardiac scintigraphy

    Time frame: Before (T0) and at the end (T1 : + 5 months) of neoadjuvant chemotherapy + before (T2 : + 8 months) and at the end (T3 : 20 month) of targeted therapy

  11. Changes of cancer treatment

    frequency of dose reduction (%), of postponement (%) or of treatment discontinuation (%)

    Time frame: At each cycle of neoadjuvant chemotherapy : every three weeks during 5 months

  12. Assessment of physical activity level using a validated smartphone application (eMouveRecherche)

    Including sedentariness time

    Time frame: Before (T0) and at the end (T1 : + 5 months) of neoadjuvant chemotherapy + before (T2 : + 8 months) and at the end (T3 : 20 month) of targeted therapy
