Interrupting Sedentary Time to Improve Cardiometabolic Health and Toxicity in Patients With Lymphoma Receiving Chemotherapy: The iSTAND Trial
Trial Parameters
Brief Summary
This study aims to see if a 12-week exercise program designed to reduce long periods of inactivity is feasible in newly diagnosed lymphoma participants receiving R-CHOP or POLA-R-CHP chemotherapy treatments, and whether it can improve heart health and reduce chemotherapy drug side effects.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * Ability to understand and the willingness to sign informed consent prior to any study- related procedures. * Patients diagnosed with lymphoma. * Will receive first line R-CHOP or POLA-R-CHP chemotherapy regimens, patients do not need to be within a certain timeframe from diagnosis. * Aged ≥18 years; due to the rarity of the disease in those \<18 years, this age bracket will not be included. * Engaging in ≤60-minutes of structured moderate or vigorous intensity exercise. * Have physician clearance to participate in exercise. * Speak English. * Willing to travel to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute for necessary data collection and exercise sessions. * Access to a phone that can receive text messages. Exclusion Criteria: * Unstable comorbidities that prevent participation in moderate-to-vigorous intensity exercise. Patients with unstable comorbidities likely require supervised exercise for safety, and part of this study involves unsupervised exercise; therefore, for safe
