About
This clinical trial studies how well an exercise intervention works in reducing symptoms and improving clinical outcomes in patients with ovarian cancer undergoing platinum-based chemotherapy. Exercise may "train" the body to repair deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) damage more efficiently, which may reduce symptoms related to platinum-based chemotherapy, improve quality of life, increase survival, and decrease recurrence rates in patients with ovarian cancer.
Full description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To assess the feasibility of recruiting and enrolling newly diagnosed epithelial ovarian cancer patients who have undergone debulking surgery and will be starting platinum-based chemotherapy, to an exercise trial.
II. To evaluate adherence to the data collection and exercise trial protocol. It is necessary to determine the feasibility of collecting tablet-based questionnaire data and blood samples at multiple time points in one visit. It is also critical to determine whether the exercise intervention is feasible in this patient population.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To examine changes in DNA repair function before and after a single exercise session.
II. To examine changes in DNA repair function, body composition, quality of life, symptoms and patient satisfaction with care over the treatment time course.
III. To examine the effect of the exercise intervention on these measurements.
IV. To follow the patients an additional 12-months for clinical outcomes defined as death, cancer recurrence, or new primary cancer.
OUTLINE: Patients undergo supervised 1-on-1 exercise sessions for 60 minutes on day 1.Treatment repeats every 3 weeks for up to 18 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also receive a home-based exercise prescription including instructions for keeping patients' heart rate within 50-80% maximum.
After completion of study, patients are followed up for 12 months.
