Keywords

adapted physical activity, fatigue, completed adjuvant systemic chemotherapy for cancer

Brief summary

A single-center, randomized (1:1) open-label, prospective, stratified study with two parallel arms, designed to evaluate adherence to the adapted physical activity (APA) program for patients participating in an APA program and to compare changes in fatigue at 3 months in patients who have completed adjuvant systemic chemotherapy for cancer and are participating in an APA program.

Interventions

patient will benefit of an activity monitored by a wtach and an APA program during 3 months

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
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.3 monthsAssessing adherence to the adapted physical activity (APA) program for patients participating in an APA program
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.3 monthsCompare 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.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
evaluation of quality of life with EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire score [0;100]3 monthsCompare 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.
evaluation of quality of life with EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire score [0; 100]6 monthsCompare 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.
Comparaison of the motivation for physical activity by the difference in scores on the EMAPS scale [18;126]3 monthsCompare 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).
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-up6 monthsCompare 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.
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-up12 monthsCompare the difference in MFI-20 fatigue scores between the first visit and the visits at 12 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.
