Not Applicable
Withdrawn
Conditions
Metastatic Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer (mCRPC)
Interventions
Behavioral: Exercise
Registration Number
NCT02130947
Lead Sponsor
UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center
Brief Summary

This randomized pilot study will be conducted in men with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) within 3 months of initiating abiraterone or enzalutamide. The purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate the effects of a 12 week exercise intervention in mCRPC patients who have recently started on additional androgen suppression therapy.

Detailed Description

This randomized pilot study will be conducted in men with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) within 3 months of initiating abiraterone or enzalutamide. The purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate the effects of a 12 week exercise intervention in mCRPC patients who have recently started on additional androgen suppression therapy. The investigators will also explore the effects of the exercise training on biomarkers of inflammation-hormonal status and their potential association with changes in lean mass and function.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in lean mass between mCPRC patients undergoing a 12-week exercise intervention (intervention group) and mCPRC patients who do not undergo the exercise intervention (control group)12 weeks

DEXA (Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) scans will measure lean mass at baseline and after the 12-week intervention.
