Remotely Monitored Exercise Interventions in Patients With mCSPC Undergoing ADT (Prostate 006)
What this study is about
This study consists of two home-based exercise programs: a stationary exercise bicycle intervention (treatment group$1 A), and a walking intervention (treatment group$1 B). The study will enroll 24 patients who are starting ADT (Androgen Deprivation Therapy)/ARSI (Androgen-Receptor Signaling Inhibitors) therapy for newly diagnosed metastatic castrate-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC).
View original scientific description
This study consists of two home-based exercise programs: a stationary exercise bicycle intervention (Arm A), and a walking intervention (Arm B). The study will enroll 24 patients who are starting ADT (Androgen Deprivation Therapy)/ARSI (Androgen-Receptor Signaling Inhibitors) therapy for newly diagnosed metastatic castrate-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC). All participants will be asked to complete 1-2 training sessions at UVA prior to starting the exercise. All participants will be asked to complete aerobic and strength testing before and after the exercise program. Participants will be asked to answer questionnaires throughout the program. The at-home exercise will last for 12 weeks.
Interventions
BEHAVIORAL
Home-Based Exercise Intervention - Walking
30 minutes of walking or light jogging a day at a moderate intensity for 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week for 12 weeks
BEHAVIORAL
Home-Based Exercise Intervention - HIIT Cycling
Four, 4 minute high intensity intervals of exercise, separated by 3 minutes of lower intensity exercise + a 10 minute warm up and 5 minute cool down for 40 minutes a day, 3 days a week for 12 weeks
Primary outcome measures
Number of participants who complete the post-intervention follow-up assessment
Time frame: 14 weeks from the start of the intervention
Percentage of participants who complete the post-intervention follow-up assessment
Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria
- Provision of signed and dated informed consent form
- Stated willingness to comply with all study procedures and availability for the duration of the study
- Male, aged ≥18 years old
- Diagnosis of mCSPC (defined as either biopsy-proven metastatic prostate cancer or elevated PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) in the setting of imaging findings typical of prostate cancer spread; patients can either have de novo metastatic disease or recurrent metastatic disease after prior definitive therapy to the primary tumor with either surgery or radiation)
- Planned treatment with ADT (LHRH \[Luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone\] agonist such as leuprolide or LHRH antagonist such as degarelix), or recent administration, ≤14 days prior to enrollment.
- Planned intensification with ARSI (abiraterone/prednisone, enzalutamide, apalutamide, or darolutamide).
- Oncologist clearance for exercise training after taking into account functional status and co-morbid conditions that may limit ability to participate.
- Ability to take oral medication and willing to adhere to the study intervention regimen
- Ability to read, speak, and understand English.
Exclusion criteria
- Castrate-resistant prostate cancer (defined as prostate cancer previously treated with a backbone of ADT hormonal therapy with either progression of disease on imaging PSA progression with PSA increase of \> 25% and 2 ng/mL above nadir, confirmed at 2 time points at least 3 weeks apart, in the setting of testosterone level \< 50)
- Patients with prostate cancer with biochemical recurrence (e.g., received prior definitive therapy with subsequent PSA \[Prostate-Specific Antigen\] rise) but radiographic imaging is negative for metastatic disease
- Metastatic bone lesion(s) in the proximal femur, bone lesion causing impending fracture, or other metastatic site deemed unsafe for walking by treating physician
- Medical/orthopedic comorbidities that preclude stationary cycling or walking
- Significant cardiac/renal/hepatic/hematological/pulmonary disease precluding exercise training
- Unstable angina or myocardial infarction within 4-weeks prior to treatment
- Complex ventricular arrhythmias or New York Heart Association class IV symptoms
- Symptomatic severe aortic stenosis
- Acute pulmonary embolus
- Acute myocarditis
- Untreated high-risk proliferative retinopathy
- Recent retinal hemorrhage
- Uncontrolled hypertension (systolic blood pressure \> 180 mm Hg or diastolic blood pressure \> 120 mm Hg)
- Severe baseline electrolyte abnormalities (e.g. potassium) that may predispose patient to arrhythmias in the opinion of the treating investigator
- Uncontrolled metabolic disease (diabetes with fasting blood sugar \>300 mg/dl, thyrotoxicosis, myxedema)
- Symptomatic peripheral vascular disease
- Prior treatment with taxane- or platinum- based chemotherapy
- Prior treatment with PARP \[Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase\] inhibitors
- Prior treatment with radium-223 or lutetium-177

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
