Study of the Effects of Pre-surgical Aerobic Exercise on Patients With Solid Tumors
NCT03813615 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The purpose of this study is to find the safest level of aerobic training for people about to undergo surgery for their cancer, and to learn what effects, if any, aerobic exercise has on these patients and the outcomes of their cancers. This part of the study (Phase 0) will evaluate the feasibility and quality of at-home exercise and assessment procedures and find out whether study participants are willing to practice continuous lifestyle monitoring using apps and electronic devices. Phase 1a will compare the effects and feasibility of six different doses of aerobic exercise and will continue evaluating the quality of at-home study procedures, which includes the use of continuous lifestyle monitoring through apps and electronic devices. In order to facilitate completion of the phase 1a component, we will backfill the 90, 225, and 300 mins/wk dosing cohorts with at least 4 patients in each dose cohort.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT03813615
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT03813615 describes a study currently listed as active not recruiting. It is categorized as Early Phase 1, 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 60 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, which has 2,280 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 2 conditions, with Solid Tumors appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which treadmill walking (Proof-of-Concept) 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: NCT03813615 reports 8 study locations spanning 3 distinct geographic areas — top geographies include New York, New Jersey, California. 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.
