Brief summary

This clinical trial evaluates whether a prehabilitation program started at the time of neoadjuvant chemotherapy will affect surgical recovery in patients with stage IIIC-IV ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer. A prehabilitation program may improve the quality of life after surgery for patients with ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer.

Detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate the baseline difference in objective frailty measurements in patients with advanced ovarian cancer clinically deemed acceptable for primary surgery versus neoadjuvant chemotherapy. II. To evaluate level of adherence and retention of patients with advanced ovarian cancer undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy with a prehabilitation program. EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVE: I. Will examine longitudinal trends and variability in function by the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) over time and in response to the intervention. OUTLINE: Patients are assigned to 1 of 3 cohorts. COHORT 1: Patients undergoing primary surgical intervention complete surveys, undergo computed tomography (CT), and undergo collection of blood samples at baseline. COHORT 2: Patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy complete physical activity for 30 minutes per day 3 times a week. Patients receive nutritional supplement drink up to 4.5 times daily, and complete Resilient Living program in-person or remotely over 60 minutes. Patients also undergo CT scans throughout the trial. COHORT 3: Patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy complete physical activity remotely for 30 minutes per day 3 times a week. Patients receive nutritional supplement drink up to 4.5 times daily. Patients also undergo health coaching remotely for 60 minutes weekly, complete Resilient Living program remotely over 60 minutes, and may wear a FitBit throughout the study.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Adherence to each prehabilitation component based on patient reported adherence (Cohorts 2 & 3)Weekly up to 4 monthsAssessed based on patient reported adherence in Cohort 2. For cohort 3, adherence will be documented in MyDataHelps® and monitored remotely by the study team on the Care Evolution platform®. Participants will be evaluated weekly for compliance with the recommended exercise and nutrition and resilience interventions. Documentation of adherence will be through online patient messages, phone call, or during in person visits, whichever the patient prefers

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Difference in Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) at baseline between cohorts 1 and 2BaselineShort Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) will be measured at baseline in both cohorts.
Change of Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) over time in cohort 2Up to 4 monthsThe Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) assessment will be administered and scored at baseline and at each study visit to assess lower extremity functioning (balance, gait, standing up from a chair).
Correlation of Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) to other assessments in cohorts 1 and 2Baseline, up to 4 monthsThe following assessment tools will be completed at baseline, after chemotherapy/prior to surgery (cohort 2), 6 weeks post surgery (cohort 2), and after completion of all primary anti-cancer treatment (cohort 2): Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB); gait speed (measured in meters/second); patient reported outcomes through Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) short form surveys in the domains of pain, physical function, anxiety, emotional support, and fatigue; perceived stress scale; Fried Frailty index; body composition measurements on CT scans performed for clinical purposes; serum collection for frailty biomarker; and Mindfulness Attention awareness scale.
Correlation of assessments to compliance with interventions in cohort 2Baseline, up to 4 monthsThe following assessment tools will be completed at baseline, after chemotherapy/prior to surgery (cohort 2), 6 weeks post surgery (cohort 2), and after completion of all primary anti-cancer treatment (cohort 2): Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB); gait speed (measured in meters/second); patient reported outcomes through Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) short form surveys in the domains of pain, physical function, anxiety, emotional support, and fatigue; perceived stress scale; Fried Frailty index; body composition measurements on CT scans performed for clinical purposes; serum collection for frailty biomarker; and Mindfulness Attention awareness scale.
Implementation outcomeUp to 4 monthsAbility to recruit to this type of study and perform assessments at our institution will be measured based on the number of patients enrolled and the number of assessments completed throughout the study.
Correlation of body composition on computed tomography (CT) scans to frailty assessmentsBaseline, up to 4 monthsThe following assessments will be completed at baseline, after chemotherapy/prior to surgery (cohort 2), 6 weeks post surgery (cohort 2), and after completion of all primary anti-cancer treatment (cohort 2): Fried Frailty index; body composition measurements on CT scans performed for clinical purposes; serum collection for frailty biomarker; and Mindfulness Attention awareness scale. Results from these will be compared for correlation.
Qualitative outcomes of the facilitators, barriers, perceived benefits, and burdensBaseline, up to 4 monthsQualitative data from weekly contacts and exit interviews will be analyzed for codes and organized in themes to elucidate barriers, facilitators, perceived benefits, and negative effects of the program.
Acceptability of remote setting in Cohort 330 daysAssessed using an Acceptability Questionnaire, which consists of 6 questions answered on a scale of 1-10 where 1=not at all and 10=extremely.
Correlation of frailty assessments with clinical judgement of frailtyBaseline, up to 4 monthsThe following assessments will be completed at baseline, after chemotherapy/prior to surgery (cohort 2), 6 weeks post surgery (cohort 2), and after completion of all primary anti-cancer treatment (cohort 2): Fried Frailty index; body composition measurements on CT scans performed for clinical purposes; serum collection for frailty biomarker; and Mindfulness Attention awareness scale. Results from these will be compared for correlation.
