Study summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the feasibility of an adapted physical activity (APA) program in adult patients (≥18 years) with primary brain tumors, regardless of tumor type, grade, treatment stage, or the presence of motor, sensory, attention, concentration, or memory deficits.

The main question it aims to answer is:

What is the effective adherence rate to an APA program among eligible patients with primary brain tumors?

Additional questions include:

  • What is the observance rate (number of sessions completed, intensity achieved, and duration) during the 3-month supervised APA program?
  • What is the retention rate (proportion of patients completing the program and continuing APA beyond the initial period)?
  • What is the impact of APA on quality of life, anxiety-depression, and cancer-related symptoms (measured via QLQ-BN20, HADS, and MFI-20 questionnaires at baseline, 3, and 4 months)?

Participants will:

  • Undergo a 3-month supervised APA program (with possible continuation beyond this period).
  • Use connected watches to monitor physical activity (if they accept the general conditions of use).
  • Complete self-questionnaires (IPAQ, BREQ-2, QPP, QLQ-BN20, HADS, MFI-20) at inclusion, 3 months, and 4 months.
  • Be followed for a total of 4 months after inclusion.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

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.

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.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    PA with Strength Sheets + Walking Recommendation

    Patients receive 2 strength exercise sheets to perform weekly at home + a recommendation to walk regularly (30 min/day). No supervised sessions. Activity is self-monitored via connected watch.

    Other: adapted physical activity

  • Experimental
    APA with Strength Sheet + Group Videoconference Session

    Patients receive 1 strength exercise sheet to perform weekly at home + 1 hour of group training via videoconference per week. The videoconference session content matches the 2nd strength sheet from Arm 1. Activity is self-monitored via connected watch.

    Other: adapted physical activity

  • Experimental
    APA with Strength Sheet + Individual Home Session

    Patients receive 1 strength exercise sheet to perform weekly at home + 1 hour of individualized and personalized training at home per week. The home session content matches the 2nd strength sheet from Arm 1. Activity is self-monitored via connected watch.

    Other: adapted physical activity

Interventions

  • Otheradapted physical activity

    Adapted Physical Activity (APA) is a tailored exercise program designed for individuals with specific health conditions, such as brain tumors. It aims to improve physical function, quality of life, and overall well-being while ensuring safety and feasibility. APA is supervised by trained professionals and adapted to each individual's abilities and needs.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Effective adherence rate to the Adapted Physical Activity program

    The primary outcome is the proportion of eligible patients who participate in at least one Adapted Physical Activity session out of the total number of eligible patients solicited for inclusion. This metric Evaluates the feasibility of Adapted Physical Activity implementation in brain tumor patients.

    Time frame: Baseline to 4 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Adapted Physical Activity program observance rate

    Evaluated through the number of sessions completed, the number of sessions reaching the recommended intensity level, and the duration of sessions performed during the 3-month supervised period and the 1-month autonomous period.

    Time frame: Baseline to 4 months

  2. Retention rate during the 3-month supervised Adapted Physical Activity period

    Proportion of patients who complete the entire 3-month supervised APA program, reflecting their commitment and ability to sustain participation.

    Time frame: Baseline to 3 months

  3. Retention Rate After Supervised Adapted Physical Activity Period

    Proportion of patients who continue Adapted Physical Activity beyond the initial 3-month supervised period, assessed at 4 months.

    Time frame: 4 months

  4. Reasons for early discontinuation of Adapted Physical Activity

    Documentation of specific reasons (e.g., fatigue, disease progression, lack of motivation) for patients who discontinue Adapted Physical Activity prematurely

    Time frame: Baseline to 4 months

  5. Quality of life assessment using EORTC Quality of Life Questionnaire - Brain Neoplasm Module 20. Minimum value = 0, maximum value = 100. A higher score mean a worse outcome.

    Evaluation of brain tumor-specific quality of life using the EORTC Quality of Life Questionnaire - Brain Neoplasm Module 20 questionnaire, which assesses symptoms and functional domains relevant to brain tumor patients

    Time frame: Baseline, 3 months, and 4 months

  6. Anxiety and depression assessment using Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale questionnaire

    Evaluation of anxiety and depression levels using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, a validated tool for assessing psychological distress. Minimum value = 0, maximum value = 21. A higher score mean a worse outcome.

    Time frame: Baseline, 3 months, and 4 months

  7. Fatigue assessment using Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory-20 questionnaire

    Evaluation of multidimensional fatigue (general, physical, mental, reduced motivation, and reduced activity) using the Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory-20 questionnaire. Minimum value = 4, maximum value = 20. The higher the score, the greater the fatigue.

    Time frame: Baseline, 3 months, and 4 months

  8. Physical activity level assessment using International Physical Activity Questionnaire

    Evaluation of physical activity intensity and frequency using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire, which classifies participants into low, moderate, or high activity levels. The higher the score, the higher the calculated energy expenditure.

    Time frame: Baseline, 3 months, and 4 months

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
