Exercise for Tumor Suppressive Impact in Men With Prostate Cancer at High-Risk of Progression on Active Surveillance: The REMOVE Trial
Start Date
1/1/2024
Completion Date
3/31/2027
Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a 12-week, home-based, virtually supervised exercise program will slow cancer progression of prostate cancer among men with prostate cancer at high-risk of progression undergoing active surveillance. The name of the study intervention involved in this study is: Aerobic high-intensity interval training (HIIT) (training exercise intervention)
Detailed Description
This research study is a randomized controlled study for a home-based, virtually supervised, aerobic exercise intervention for men with prostate cancer at high-risk of progression undergoing active surveillance. There is evidence that exercise may suppress cancer progression, but the evidence is preliminary. Participants will be randomized into one of two treatment groups: Group A: Aerobic high-intensity interval training (HIIT) versus Group B: Waitlist Control. Randomization means a participant is placed into a study group by chance. The research study procedures include screening for eligibility, study treatment visits, survey questionnaires, blood tests, and follow-up visits. Participation in this research study is expected to last about 14 weeks. It is expected that about 68 people will take part in this research study. The Prostate Cancer Foundation is providing funding for this research study.
