Virtual Exercise Program to Reduce Cancer Related Fatigue
NCT04533165 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The objective of this investigation is to establish the feasibility and initial effectiveness of a novel exercise program for rural cancer survivors in Colorado suffering from cancer related fatigue. Participation in an exercise program has regularly been shown to reduce fatigue in cancer survivors, though in-person, supervised participation has a greater effect on fatigue than home-based programs with no supervision. Access to these supervised programs are limited in rural areas, restricting the ability of rural cancer survivors to experience the fatigue-reducing benefits of exercise. The proposed program will use information on improvements in fatigue from participants in the BfitBwell Cancer Exercise Program to monitor improvements in fatigue in rural cancer survivors performing a home exercise program and trigger a telehealth session with a cancer exercise specialist to adapt the exercise prescription when improvements are less than expected. The BfitBwell Program is an established exercise program at the Anschutz Health and Wellness Center which has worked with over 600 cancer survivors and is highly effective at reducing cancer related fatigue. The goal of the program is to replicate the effects of a successful supervised exercise program in rural cancer survivors who do not have access to this type of program. This investigation will recruit 20 rural cancer survivors experiencing fatigue and assess their ability to participate in the program, as well as how well the program improves their fatigue. Interviews will be conducted with participants after the program to determine how future versions of the program could be improved. The investigators anticipate that this program will be feasible and effective, providing preliminary data to pursue a large-scale clinical trial of the program following this project's completion.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT04533165
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT04533165 describes a study currently listed as active not recruiting. 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 19 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is University of Colorado, Denver, which has 1,447 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 Cancer appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Exercise 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: NCT04533165 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Colorado. 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.
