Modifying Metabolic Syndrome and Cardiovascular Risk for Prostate Cancer Patients on ADT Using a Supervised Exercise Program and Continuous Fitbit Monitoring
Summary
This phase II trial studies how well an exercise program and continuous Fitbit monitoring work for managing metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease risk in patients with prostate cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic) or has come back (recurrent) and does not response to treatment (refractory) and are receiving androgen deprivation therapy. Balancing treatment efficacy, drug side effects, and competing comorbidities with prostate cancer is essential. This trial is being done to learn if an exercise program can help to improve metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular (heart) fitness in prostate cancer patients who are receiving androgen deprivation therapy.
Detailed description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. Determine the relationship between a 16-week exercise program with continuous Fitbit monitoring and cardiovascular fitness (defined by change in 10-year atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease \[ASCVD\] risk score), as compared to Fitbit monitoring alone, in prostate cancer patients on androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the length of cardiovascular fitness effect (measured using 10-year ASCVD risk 12 weeks post intervention) for a 16-week exercise program with continuous Fitbit monitoring in prostate cancer patients on ADT. II. Screen for a relationship between a 16-week exercise program with continuous Fitbit monitoring and metabolic syndrome severity (defined by change in metabolic severity index z-score), as compared to Fitbit monitoring alone, in prostate cancer patients on ADT. III. Measure the relationship between the exercise intervention and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) velocity, compared to Fitbit monitoring alone. IV. Measure the relationship between the exercise intervention and physical fitness (using V02 and body composition), compared to Fitbit monitoring alone. V. Measure the relationship between the exercise intervention and physical activity (step count)/heart rate, compared to Fitbit monitoring alone. VI. Measure the relationship between the exercise intervention and physical activity (as measured by the Godin Leisure Time Physical Activity Questionnaire) compared to Fitbit monitoring alone. VII. Measure the relationship between the exercise intervention and, quality of life/symptom burden, compared to Fitbit monitoring alone (measured by the following patient reported surveys: National Cancer Institute-patient reported outcomes-Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events \[NCI-PRO-CTCAE\], Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System \[PROMIS\] Fatigue and Physical Function, Self Efficacy, European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer \[EORTC\] Quality of Life Questionnaire Core30 \[QLQ-C30\] and Prostate Cancer 25 \[PR25\]). EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVE: I. Explore the relationship between the exercise intervention and markers of insulin resistance, inflammation/immune function and metabolism utilizing pre- and post-intervention peripheral blood analysis. OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 groups. GROUP I: Patients receive general education exercise packet with instruction to exercise regularly for up to 150 minutes weekly. Patients also wear a FitBit daily over 16 weeks. GROUP II: Patients participate in supervised and self-directed exercise sessions over 60 minutes twice a week (BIW) for up to 16 weeks. Patients also wear a FitBit daily over 16 weeks.

Outcome measures
Primary
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) 10-year risk score
The 16-week exercise program would affect this risk score through reduction of systolic blood pressure (SBP) and cholesterol while increasing high-density lipoprotein (HDL). · A 0 to 4.9 percent risk is considered low. Eating a healthy diet and exercising will help keep your risk low. Medication is not recommended unless your LDL, or "bad" cholesterol, is greater than or equal to 190. * A 5 to 7.4 percent risk is considered borderline. Use of a statin medication may be recommended if you have certain conditions, or "risk enhancers." These conditions may increase your risk of a heart disease or stroke. Talk with your primary care provider to see if you have any of the risk enhancers in the list below. * A 7.5 to 20 percent risk is considered intermediate. It is recommended that you start with moderate-intensity statin therapy. * A greater than 20 percent risk is considered high. It is recommended that you start with high-intensity statin therapy
Time frame: Through the study completion, an average of a year.
