Combined Aerobic and Resistance Exercise Training in Metastatic Renal Cell Carcinoma
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The trial studies the effects of personalized home-based aerobic and resistance exercises on quality of life, changes in physical activity levels, and the change in inflammatory myokines with the exercise intervention in Interleukin 6 (IL-6), C-reactive Protein (CRP), Leptin, Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta), and Interferon (INF) gamma.

Experimental: Supportive Care Patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC) who are receiving immune-checkpoint inhibitor therapy |
Other: Combined Aerobic and Resistance Exercise Training
Participants receive personalized exercise plan for home-based two days of aerobic exercises (20-30-minutes) and two days of resistance exercises per week for 12 weeks. After completion of study intervention, participants will be assessed at the of study visit at Week 24.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Number of participants who adhere to the exercise intervention [2 years]
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Percentage of patients screened compared to patients enrolled [2 years]
- Percentage of patients who remained in the study and didn't drop off the study after enrollment [2 years]
- Change in HRQoL as measured by FACT-G Questionnaire [Baseline, Week 4, Week 8, Week 12 and Week 24]
There are 27 items in Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy: General (FACT-G) questionnaire, and they are scored on a scale from 0 to 4; 0 being "Not at All", and 4 being "Very much".
- The incidence of grade 3-5 toxicities as per CTCAE 5.0 [2 years]
