Association Between Exercise, Patient-Reported Outcomes, and Clinical Events in Adult Cancer Survivors

NCT ID: NCT07030686Sponsor: Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer CenterLast updated: 2026-04-28

Summary

This protocol is a retrospective study using observational data to conduct a target trial emulation to examine the association of exercise on cancer specific endpoints and other clinical outcomes in cancer survivors.

Arms & interventions

  • BehavioralExercise

    Exercise following completion of active treatment for the primary index cancer

Outcome measures

Primary

  • Distant disease-free survival (DDFS)

    To estimate the association of exercise vs. usual care (control) with Distant disease-free survival (DDFS) among patients following the completion of active treatment for the primary index cancer being monitored at MSK.

    Time frame: 5 years

Eligibility criteria

Sex: AllAge: 18 Years and olderHealthy volunteers: Yes
Inclusion Criteria: Target trial (ideal RCT) * Adult (≥18 years of age) patients with history of primary invasive cancer under surveillance at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK). * Completion of an exercise survey (baseline) as part of MSK Cancer Survivorship Program and completion of a historical survey in the MSK Cancer Survivorship Program 9-15 months (time th) prior reporting non-exercising status \[i.e., reporting \<10 metabolic equivalent-hours per week (MET-h/week)\]. Patients completing an additional exercise survey between th and baseline are excluded. * No evidence of recurrent or metastatic disease in the 15 months prior to the baseline exercise assessment * Completion of all definitive primary adjuvant therapy (e.g., chemotherapy, radiotherapy, targeted therapy) at least 3 months prior to completion of the historical exercise survey in a MSK Cancer Survivorship Program. Adjuvant hormonal therapy is permitted at any time. * Undergoing surveillance in the Cancer Survivorship Program at MSK Emulation using observational data * Adult (≥18 years of age) cancer survivors under surveillance at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) between 2011 and 2023. * Assessment of self-reported exercise status via completion of an exercise survey as part of MSK Cancer Survivorship Program standard intake (baseline assessment). * Non-exercising (i.e., reporting \<5 MET-h/week) via completion of an exercise survey as part of MSK Cancer Survivorship Program standard intake 9-15 months prior to the baseline exercise assessment (historical exercise survey). * Documented history of the following absolute contraindications to moderate-intensity exercise at any time prior to the baseline exercise assessment, assessed using the Elixhauser ICD codes: Congestive heart failure, valvular disease, chronic pulmonary disease, or renal failure. * No evidence of recurrent or metastatic disease via radiological or pathological in EMR in the 15 months prior to the baseline exercise assessment. * Completion of all definitive primary adjuvant therapy (e.g., chemotherapy, radiotherapy, targeted therapy) at least 3 months prior to completion of historical exercise survey (i.e., at least 3 months prior to t-1) as part of MSK Cancer Survivorship Program standard intake. Adjuvant endocrine therapy is permitted.
