Precision-exercise-prescription for Lung Cancer Patients Undergoing Surgery: The PEP Study
Sponsor: University of Utah
Summary
This is a Phase 3 study aimed at investigating the effects of a personalized exercise program (PEP) in NSCLC patients (stage I, II, IIIa) and secondary lung cancer patients undergoing surgical treatment at the University of Utah and comparing the intervention to the current standard of care (no exercise program).
Official title: A Phase III Randomized Study Comparing the Effects of a Personalized Exercise Program (PEP) Against No Intervention in Patients With Stage I-IIIa Primary Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer or Secondary Lung Cancer Undergoing Surgical Resection

Interventions
Personalized Exercise Program
The PEP intervention involves a combination of home-based exercise as well as in-patient exercise. The exercise modes will include basic transfer and calisthenics mobility, aerobic and resistance exercises and will be performed in various postures (supine, sitting, standing and walking) with variable challenges (level walking, bending, inclines, steps and squatting). For patients randomized to the Intervention Group (Group 1), the PEP intervention will be personalized, implemented, and modified (based on the patients AM-PAC mobility stage) by a licensed physical therapist in face-to-face, virtual, or phone meetings (\~30-40 minutes). An exercise education manual, specifically developed for this study, will be used by the physical therapist to educate the patients on all aspects of starting and maintaining the exercise intervention.
