A Study on the Effects of Exercise on Side Effects From Treatment for Gastrointestinal Cancers

Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center

Start Date

4/28/2023

Completion Date

4/18/2027

Summary

The purpose of this study is to find the level of aerobic exercise (AT) that is practical, is safe, and has positive effects on the body that may reduce the side effects of therapy. The study will also look at the way the body responds to exercise and whether there are differences in treatment. This will include looking at the highest treatment dose participants receive, how many people stop, delay, or reduce the treatment, and whether additional medication is needed to treat side effects of therapy.

Detailed Description

Study staff will also confirm remote training feasibility including items such as access to Wi-Fi and a treadmill for the study duration. If patients do not have access to a treadmill, ExOnc staff may coordinate access to a fitness facility local to the participant, to facilitate treadmill access for the study duration. Fitness facility access will be provided through Wellhub, a service that allows use of nearby gyms and studios through a single app-based solution.
