简要总结
Checkpoint inhibitors like the PD-1 antibodies Pembrolizumab and Nivolumab represent standard of care for patients with metastasized melanoma. Numerous high quality studies demonstrate that endurance and resistance training in cancer patients is safe and elicits beneficial effects. However, there is no systematic experience with regard to exercise interventions in patients undergoing checkpoint inhibitor treatment. Therefore, the Sportivumab Study aimed to investigate safety, feasibility and effectivity of a 12 week combined resistance and endurance exercise intervention program during checkpoint inhibitor treatment. It is planned to enroll 40 patients. Participants will be randomized into an experimental and a wait-list control group (20 per group). The wait-list control group will receive the exercise intervention program after week 13 of enrollment.

研究组 & 干预措施
Experimental intervention arm (EX)
The supervised progressive endurance and resistance exercise program will be undertaken twice weekly in small groups and will be guided by an exercise physiotherapist over 12 weeks. All sessions will start with a warm-up passing over to the endurance training part and finish with a cool-down and will take approximately 60 minutes. The moderate-to-high-intensity endurance training will be performed at the beginning of each training session on a cycle ergometer for 20 min at 75 to 80 % of peak heart rate obtained from the baseline cardiorespiratory exercise test. This training intensity is within the range of intensities recommended by the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) exercise guidelines for cancer survivors. The moderate-to-high-intensity progressive resistance training regime (12 repetition maxima - 3 sets for each exercise) will include 6 exercises that target major upper and lower body muscle groups.
干预措施: Resistance and Endurance Exercise (Behavioral)
Wait list - control group (UC)
Wait list control group will receive usual care. After primary endpoint assessment, UC patients will be offered to participate in the exercise interventions program.
