Completed Early Phase 1
View on ClinicalTrials.gov →
Summary
The purpose of the study is to pilot test of PAfitME™ among (1) young adults (YA) cancer patients of color (POC) (Analytic Sample \[N=36\] after attrition of 30%) and (2) YA cancer patients of White (POW) (Analytic Sample \[N=36\] after attrition of 30%). Aim 1: Evaluate Exergame Grading Scheme (EGS) validity when EGS is tested in relationship to standard lab tests (Bruce Treadmill Protocol and isometric/isokinetic dynamometry) and field fitness tests (6-minute walk test, handgrip, and Chair Stand Test). Aim 2a: Evaluate the feasibility (enrollment rate \[% of eligible patients\], attrition rate \[% in either intervention or control group\], adherence rate \[% of completed prescribed exergame minutes\]), safety (numbers of adverse events), and acceptability (satisfaction score \& exit qualitative interviews) of PAfitME™. Aim 2b: Evaluate the preliminary effect of 12-week PAfitME™ on cardiorespiratory fitness (6-minute walk test) and muscle strength (handgrip \[upper body\] and Chair Stand Test \[lower body\]) when compared with a usual care condition among YA cancer POC. Aim 2c: Evaluate the preliminary effect of 12-week PAfitME™ on cardiorespiratory fitness (6-minute walk test) and muscle strength (handgrip \[upper body\] and Chair Stand Test \[lower body\]) when compared with a usual care condition among YA cancer POW.
