KAM: Kids Are Moving
NCT02626637 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
During cancer treatment children are less active than their health peers. This inactivity persists into survivorship and can negatively affect health and quality of life. Physical activity may also improve fatigue, a prevalent and distressing symptom during treatment. Improving health behaviors during treatment can have lifelong benefits for cancer survivors. In this study, the effectiveness of the "Kids are Moving" exercise program will be evaluated. The exercise program will follow program guidelines set up by the American College of Sports Medicine and will be adapted for children with cancer. Children ages 6 to 18 years, who are receiving chemotherapy, and their parents, will be coached on how to increase their physical activity and will receive an exercise prescription. This will occur as part of the standard care they receive from the nurse practitioners during the first six months of their outpatient visits. Investigators want to find out if children in the Kids are Moving program are more active and have less fatigue. Activity will be measured through patient questionnaires about activity and fatigue, and by wearing the FitBit activity tracker and an actigraph. Outcomes will be compared to measurements collected from children who received usual care before the exercise program started. Physical activity is a vital for improving health and quality of life and for providing energy for engaging in positive life experiences as children move along the developmental continuum to a long and healthy future. Outcomes of the study will provide a foundation for larger multi-site clinical trials.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT02626637
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT02626637 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 31 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of Minnesota, which has 919 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 3 conditions, with Physical Activity appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Physical activity coaching is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT02626637 reports 2 study locations spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Minnesota. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
