Physical Activity Intervention in African American Men After Radical Prostatectomy

Not Applicable
Withdrawn
Conditions
Prostate Cancer
Prostatectomy
Registration Number
NCT02621684
Lead Sponsor
Washington University School of Medicine
Brief Summary

The purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate the feasibility of recruiting African American prostate cancer survivors to a 12 week physical activity intervention study of three arms (aerobics, resistance training, and usual care) through physician referral and community advertisement strategies. In addition, the investigators will investigate the acceptance rate of the intervention and gather preliminary results on the effect of exercise on African American men's urinary and sexual functions. These data can then be used to refine the intervention and its implementation model, and to inform the submission of a larger grant to the National Institutes of Health.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Intervention effectiveness as measured by change in accelerometer measured physical activityCompletion of study (approximately 3.5 years)
Intervention effectiveness as measured by change in self-reported urinary/sexual function as measured by Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite (EPIC)Completion of study (approximately 3.5 years)

-Intervention effectiveness will be compared between the three arms by comparing the change in self-reported urinary and sexual function. Mixed effects regression will be used to account for the longitudinal design.
