Terms in these criteria, in plain language(5)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Histologically or cytologically confirmed

The diagnosis was confirmed by looking at a sample under a microscope: tissue from a biopsy or surgery (histology), or cells from a fluid or needle sample (cytology).

Your pathology report is the document that shows this.

Metastases

Cancer that has spread from where it began to other parts of the body. “Metastatic” cancer is cancer that has spread this way.

Adjuvant and neoadjuvant

Neoadjuvant treatment is given before the main treatment (usually surgery), often to shrink a tumour. Adjuvant treatment is given after it, to lower the chance of the cancer coming back.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. adherence to the adapted physical activity (APA) program by the percentage of patients who completed 75% of the weekly sessions of the APA program with a heart rate (HR) between 40 and 60% of their reserve HR for 20-40 minutes.

    Assessing adherence to the adapted physical activity (APA) program for patients participating in an APA program

    Time frame: 3 months

  2. evolution of fatigue in patients who are participating in an APA program by the difference in Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory (MFI-20) questionnaire scores (20 items) between the first and last visit at 3 months.

    Compare the evolution of fatigue at 3 months in patients who have completed adjuvant systemic chemotherapy for cancer and are participating in an APA program. Items are scored 1-5, with 10 positively phrased items reverse scored (items 2, 5, 9, 10, 13, 14, 16, 17, 18, 19). Total score calculated for 5 subscales: general fatigue (items 1, 5, 12, 16), physical fatigue (items 2, 8, 14, 20), reduced activity (items 7, 11, 13, 19), reduced motivation (items 3, 6, 10, 17), and mental fatigue (items 4, 9, 15, 18)." High MFI scores indicate a high degree of fatigue.

    Time frame: 3 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. evaluation of quality of life with EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire score [0;100]

    Compare changes in patients' quality of life following the APA program versus standard follow-up. QLQ-C30 contains 30 items that assess 15 dimensions of quality of life: 5 functional dimensions (physical functioning, role, cognitive, emotional, and social), one dimension of overall quality of life/health, and 8 symptom dimensions (fatigue, pain, nausea and vomiting, dyspnea, insomnia, loss of appetite, constipation, and diarrhea) as well as a dimension corresponding to the level of financial difficulties. A score is calculated for each dimension, reflecting the patient's level on the corresponding quality of life scale (dimension). These scores are standardized from 0 to 100 so that a high score reflects a high level of overall quality of life/health, a high functional level, and a high symptomatic level.

    Time frame: 3 months

  2. evaluation of quality of life with EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire score [0; 100]

    Compare changes in patients' quality of life following the APA program versus standard follow-up. QLQ-C30 contains 30 items that assess 15 dimensions of quality of life: 5 functional dimensions (physical functioning, role, cognitive, emotional, and social), one dimension of overall quality of life/health, and 8 symptom dimensions (fatigue, pain, nausea and vomiting, dyspnea, insomnia, loss of appetite, constipation, and diarrhea) as well as a dimension corresponding to the level of financial difficulties. A score is calculated for each dimension, reflecting the patient's level on the corresponding quality of life scale (dimension). These scores are standardized from 0 to 100 so that a high score reflects a high level of overall quality of life/health, a high functional level, and a high symptomatic level.

    Time frame: 6 months

  3. evaluation of quality of life with EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire score [0; 100]

    Compare changes in patients' quality of life following the APA program versus standard follow-up. QLQ-C30 contains 30 items that assess 15 dimensions of quality of life: 5 functional dimensions (physical functioning, role, cognitive, emotional, and social), one dimension of overall quality of life/health, and 8 symptom dimensions (fatigue, pain, nausea and vomiting, dyspnea, insomnia, loss of appetite, constipation, and diarrhea) as well as a dimension corresponding to the level of financial difficulties. A score is calculated for each dimension, reflecting the patient's level on the corresponding quality of life scale (dimension). These scores are standardized from 0 to 100 so that a high score reflects a high level of overall quality of life/health, a high functional level, and a high symptomatic level.

    Time frame: 12 months

  4. Comparaison of the motivation for physical activity by the difference in scores on the EMAPS scale [18;126]

    Compare the motivation for physical activity among patients following the APA program compared to standard follow-up. The EMAPS questionnaire comprise six motivational concepts highlighted by self-determination theory (intrinsic, integrated, identified, introjected, and external motivation). A score is calculated for each dimension, reflecting the patient's level on the corresponding quality of life scale (dimension).

    Time frame: 3 months

  5. Comparaison of the motivation for physical activity by the difference in scores on the EMAPS scale [18;126]

    Compare the motivation for physical activity among patients following the APA program compared to standard follow-up.

  7. Compare the evolution of fatigue with MFI-20 questionnaire scores (20 items) between the first and last visit at 6 months, in patients who followed the APA program versus standard follow-up

    Compare the difference in MFI-20 fatigue scores between the first visit and the visits at 6 months. Items are scored 1-5, with 10 positively phrased items reverse scored (items 2, 5, 9, 10, 13, 14, 16, 17, 18, 19). Total score calculated for 5 subscales: general fatigue (items 1, 5, 12, 16), physical fatigue (items 2, 8, 14, 20), reduced activity (items 7, 11, 13, 19), reduced motivation (items 3, 6, 10, 17), and mental fatigue (items 4, 9, 15, 18)." High MFI scores indicate a high degree of fatigue.

    Time frame: 6 months

  8. Compare the evolution of fatigue with MFI-20 questionnaire scores (20 items) between the first and last visit at 12 months, in patients who followed the APA program versus standard follow-up
