Behaviour Change for Cancer Survivors

Toronto, Ontario
This study will be a two-arm, multi-site RCT, to examine the effects of an entirely virtual, 6-month supervised PA program plus standard exercise counselling (PA+EC) versus a supervised PA plus motivationally-enhanced behavioral counselling (PA+BC) on moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) in cancer survivors. A 6-month post intervention follow-up (T2) and 1-year post intervention follow-up (T3; 1-year follow-up from post-intervention) will take place after the intervention to address maintenance. The intervention is designed using evidence-based research in the fields of exercise oncology using effective clinical design and theoretical approaches, including behaviour change techniques, to gradually increase MVPA to at least 90 minutes per week in cancer survivors as per the exercise guidelines for cancer survivors.

Exercise Programs for Cancer

Toronto, Ontario
EXCEL will provide online and, where feasible, in-person exercise programs to individuals living with and beyond cancer (ILWBC). Research has shown that targeted programs that include tailored exercise prescriptions are more successful in helping individuals with chronic disease to incorporate physical activity and exercise into their daily routines. While ILWBC are advised by healthcare professionals (HCPs) to engage in exercise, there is a lack of cancer-specific exercise programs and cancer-trained exercise specialists in Canada, outside of the research setting. Considering the negative impact cancer and its treatments have on fitness and physical activity levels, community-based efforts towards improving access, uptake and maintenance of exercise programming are needed. This study will evaluate the benefits of a community-based or online EXCEL exercise program for people living with and beyond cancer across Canada, using a streamlined intake process compared to the original EXCEL Study (HREBA.CC-20-0098, NCT04478851). This 8 to 12-week program (intervention) will be delivered in-person or over virtual platform. It includes twice weekly supervised exercise classes.

Sprint Interval Training for Endurance Performance

Toronto, Ontario
Sprint interval training improves endurance performance and induces metabolic adaptations in muscle. Most research demonstrating these responses has been conducted in males, with limited studies evaluating changes to endurance performance and skeletal muscle oxidative capacity in females. Moreover, it is currently unknown if training in specific phases of the menstrual cycle influences adaptations to training. Thus, the purpose of the present study is to compare adaptations to 2 weeks of sprint interval training performed in the follicular vs. luteal phase of the menstrual cycle in healthy, eumenorrheic women.

Exercise + Brain Stimulation for Vascular Cognitive Impairment

Toronto, Ontario
People with vascular conditions are at risk of having memory problems, and these memory problems increase the risk for further cognitive decline. Brain stimulation has been used to improve mood and memory. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is believed to work best on brain cells that are active or "primed" before stimulation. The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of exercise and tDCS on memory performance in patients who have completed cardiac rehabilitation and are at risk of cognitive decline.

Exercise for Multiple Sclerosis

Toronto, Ontario
This multi-center, randomized controlled feasibility trial will assess a 20-week home-based exercise intervention in youth with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). The goal is to determine the feasibility of conducting a larger, definitive trial on exercise training as a non-pharmacological approach to improve disease outcomes in this population. Participants will be randomized to either an Exercise Training group or a Mobility and Flexibility Training group. The investigators will evaluate differences between the two groups in physical activity levels, mediators of physical activity, and psychosocial outcomes. Assessments, including clinical exams, brain MRI, eye tracking, cognitive testing, blood draws, and questionnaires, will occur at baseline and after 20 weeks. Accelerometry will be done at baseline, 10 weeks, and 20 weeks to track physical activity. The primary objectives are to assess the feasibility of recruiting, retaining, and randomizing youth with MS and to evaluate adherence to the exercise intervention and coaching sessions. Exploratory objectives include examining changes in depressive symptoms, cognitive function, blood biomarkers (BDNF and irisin), brain volume, and fitness levels in response to the intervention. Approximately 40 participants will be enrolled from four sites in Canada and the United States. Primary outcomes include feasibility, acceptability, and fidelity measures. Exploratory outcomes include blood biomarkers, brain MRI, cognitive testing, and other neuropsychological measures.

Exercise Program for Limited Mobility

Toronto, Ontario
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to compare the short-term effects of a virtual, community-based, task-oriented group exercise program (TIME™ at Home) with a waitlist control in community-dwelling adults with balance and mobility limitations. The main questions the trial aims to answer are: 1. Will there be improvements in physical and mental health outcomes, and caregiver mood and assistance, following participation in the TIME™ at Home exercise program that are greater than in the waitlist control group? 2. Will level of mobility limitation, sex, or gender influence the experiences of people in the exercise program? 3. What will be the costs of the TIME™ at Home exercise program for the organization delivering the program, and the people who are in the exercise program? Participants and their caregivers will be asked to complete 3 evaluations using Zoom at study entry and 2 and 5 months later. * Participants will complete tests of balance and walking and questionnaires. * Caregivers will only complete questionnaires. After the first evaluation, participants will be randomly assigned to either participate in: * the 8-week TIME™ at Home exercise program from their homes using Zoom, or * to wait 5 months (waitlist control group) before beginning the 8-week TIME™ at Home exercise program

Exercise Training for High Blood Pressure

Greensboro, North Carolina
African Americans have the greatest burden of endothelial dysfunction and hypertension. Recently, gut microbial dysbiosis (a term that describes a poorly diverse gut microbial profile and lower short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) production) has been linked to hypertension and may be involved in the pathogenesis of hypertension in African Americans. African Americans have been reported to have lower gut SCFA and SCFA can reduce blood pressure. Exercise reduces blood pressure and improves gut dysbiosis (increases SCFA) and likely couples' improvements in gut microbial health and vascular function to reduce blood pressure. Thus, the goals of this research are to fill a critical void concerning the interaction of gut dysbiosis, hypertension, and utilizing exercise to identify gut microbial adaptations that accompany a reduction in blood pressure. The short-term implications of this work will advance the clinical communities understanding of the relationship between dysbiosis and the pathogenesis of hypertension in African Americans, while long term implications will promote identifying adaptable gut microbes associated with vascular health to aid in amending treatment strategies for hypertension.

Inspiratory Muscle Training for Lung Transplant Candidates

Toronto, Ontario
Recovery after lung transplantation (LTx) may be complicated by prolonged mechanical ventilation (MV) and protracted intensive care unit (ICU) stay leading to immobilization and impaired health-related quality of life (HRQoL). In the critical care setting, diaphragm atrophy and weakness have been associated with difficulty weaning from MV, increased risk for readmission to hospital or ICU, and increased mortality. Increasing respiratory muscle strength by inspiratory muscle training (IMT) as part of pre-rehabilitation mitigates respiratory muscle dysfunction peri-operatively and may reduce the risk of post-operative complications. However, IMT is not widely used prior to LTx and the benefits of pre-operative IMT on post-transplant outcomes in LTx candidates have not been studied. Objectives: (1) To evaluate the feasibility of a multicenter randomized clinical trial of IMT in LTx candidates in terms of recruitment rate, retention, program adherence, and outcome ascertainment; (2) To establish the change in pre-transplant dyspnea perception, diaphragm structure and function, health related quality of life (HRQoL) and post-transplant intensive care unit (ICU), hospital and post-transplant 3-month outcomes with IMT relative to usual care group; and (3) To characterize the effect of pre-transplant IMT on peri-transplant diaphragm myofibrillar cross-sectional area (CSA), oxidative capacity, inflammatory markers and post-transplant diaphragm muscle thickness and function (UHN TGH site).

Oropharyngeal Exercises for Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Toronto, Ontario
The goal of this study is to determine whether a randomized controlled trial using oropharyngeal exercises to treat sleep apnea is feasible. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is the standard therapy for Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), but it is poorly tolerated by many patients. Oropharyngeal exercises (OPEs) which are commonly used by speech-language pathologists to improve oro-motor strength, may serve as a promising alternative approach. The main questions this study aims to answer are: * Is it feasible to use an oropharyngeal exercise protocol in patients with sleep apnea? * Will oropharyngeal exercises improve sleep apnea severity, daytime sleepiness, sleep quality, mood, workplace performance, and quality of life Participants will be randomized into a supervised OPE intervention arm vs. unsupervised OPE intervention arm vs. sham treatment for a 10-week/5-day per week/two 20-minute session exercise protocol. The exercises will be administered via an app and the investigators will assess feasibility, as well as several sleep-related and oro-motor physiological outcomes before treatment, immediately post-treatment, and 4 weeks post-treatment. The investigators will use the results of this feasibility trial to inform the sample size needed for a larger clinical trial that will determine the efficacy of using oropharyngeal exercises to treat OSA.

Reactive Balance Training for Stroke

Toronto, Ontario
Falls in daily life are a serious risk for people with stroke. A new type of balance training, called reactive balance training (RBT). may help to reduce this risk of falling. In some previous studies participants improved their balance reactions a lot after RBT, whereas others did not improve at all. These studies used different types and amounts of training. Differences in training program features might explain differences in the study results. Training intensity is the difficulty or challenge of the training program. For other types of exercise (like 'cardio' or strength training) if the intensity of exercise is increased, someone can get the same benefits in less time than with lower intensity exercise. Physiotherapists report that they have limited time in rehabilitation to do everything they need to do with their stroke patients, so it would be valuable to know if high-intensity RBT improves balance reactions quickly. The goal of this study is to see if more intense RBT improves balance reactions faster than less intense RBT. People with chronic stroke will be randomly placed in one of three groups: high-intensity RBT, moderate-intensity RBT, or a walking control group. The investigators will find the fastest moving platform speed that participants can respond to with single step (multi-step threshold). There will then be 4 1-hour long training sessions in one week. Participants in the high-intensity group will experience platform movements that are 50% faster than the multi-step threshold. Participants in the moderate-intensity group will experience platform movements at the multi-step threshold. Participants in both RBT groups will experience 36 multi-directional platform movements in each training session, causing them to start to fall forwards, to the left, or to the right. Participants in the walking group will walk on the platform 36 times without any platform movements. The investigators will measure how quickly people improve their balance reactions over the training program.

Music for Alzheimer's Disease Prevention

Greensboro, North Carolina
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the benefits of beat-accented music stimulation (BMS) for behavioral changes of physical activity (PA) in older adults with subjective memory complaints. Specific Aims are to determine (1) whether BMS beneficially influences PA behaviors and psychological responses to PA in older adults for 6 months, and (2) whether exercising with BMS differently influences physical and cognitive functioning as well as quality of life in older adults.To test the effects of BMS on PA, participants will be randomly assigned to an exercise intervention that either includes BMS or does not include BMS. Participants will attend a supervised group strength training (ST) (30 min/day) and and aerobic exercise (AE) (30-50 min/day) session for 3 days/week for the first 2 months, 1 day/week for the next 2 months (while encouraging participants to independently perform both AE and ST on other days), and independently for the final 2 months (always with a goal of performing \>150min/week AE and 3 days/week of ST for 30 min/day).

Exercise Program for Young Cancer Survivors

Toronto, Ontario
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major contributor to morbidity and mortality in pediatric, adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer survivors (hereafter referred to as PAYA-CS). Exercise is a cornerstone of CVD prevention and treatment; yet, exercise has not been adopted as a standard of care in PAYA-CS at high CVD risk. The HIMALAYAS trial is designed to evaluate the feasibility and preliminary impact of an exercise-based CR on cardiovascular (CV) and psychosocial health, as well as CVD risk, in PAYA-CS with mild heart dysfunction (stage B heart failure (SBHF)). The primary objective of the HIMALAYAS pilot study is to assess the feasibility of a two-phase randomized controlled trial designed to evaluate impact of a 'CR-like' cardio-oncology rehabilitation (CORE) intervention on CV, psychosocial, and behavioural outcomes at 6 and 24 months, compared to behavioural support only (Support) in PAYA-CS. Screened PAYA-CS without SBHF and those with SBHF who do not participate in the RCT will be enrolled in a passive behavioural support (Support) group. The primary outcome is study feasibility, defined according to three primary criteria (i.e., participant recruitment, safety, and adherence). Secondary outcomes include additional feasibility metrics (e.g., intervention safety and tolerability) and exploratory efficacy outcomes including peak cardiorespiratory fitness (VO2peak), cardiac function (e.g., global longitudinal strain (GLS)), CVD risk factor control (e.g. insulin resistance), and patient-reported outcomes (e.g. anxiety). Our central hypothesis is that the conduct of a larger RCT comparing the impact of CORE versus non-intervention control will be feasible indicated by the achievement of our primary feasibility criteria. Our exploratory hypothesis is that we will generate preliminary evidence that CORE can improve VO2peak, cardiac function, CVD risk factor, and patient-reported outcomes over 6- and 24-month timepoints, relative to control.

Plant-based Lifestyle Intervention for Diabetes

Toronto, Ontario
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a plant-based intensive lifestyle intervention can achieve remission of diabetes. It will also learn if a plant-based intensive lifestyle intervention can achieve weight loss ≥15% of initial body weight. The main questions it aims to answer are: * What proportion of participants achieved diabetes remission (normal blood sugar for at least 3 months without medication)? * What proportion of participants achieved ≥15% weight loss from their initial weight? * What is the impact on weight, body composition, blood pressure, blood sugars, cholesterol and inflammation levels? Researchers will compare the plant-based intensive lifestyle intervention to the current standard of care. Participants will be randomly placed into one of two groups: 1. Standard of care, where they will continue their usual diabetes care with their health care providers 2. Plant-based intensive lifestyle intervention, where they will follow a diet and exercise program Participants in the standard of care will: * Continue with their usual diabetes care for 12 months * Attend clinic visits on 5 occasions over the 12 months * Allow study staff to take measurements (e.g. weight, blood pressure) * Provide blood samples * Track their food and exercise and complete questionnaires Participants in the plant-based intensive lifestyle intervention will: * Follow a plant-based low calorie diet for 3 months followed by a calorie-balanced plant-based diet for 9 months * Participate in a 16-week exercise program * Attend clinic visits every 2-4 weeks over the 12 months * Allow study staff to take measurements (e.g. weight, blood pressure) * Provide blood sample * Track their food and exercise and complete questionnaires

Home-Based Exercise for Post-COVID Fatigue

Washington, District of Columbia
The overall goal of this project is to advance the understanding of underlying mechanisms impacting performance fatigability and perceived fatigability in Veterans with post-COVID-19 fatigue and explore the safety and feasibility of a home-based "minimal-dose" resistance exercise program in this population. The central hypothesis is that declines in force capacity, skeletal muscle oxygen extraction, and affective responses to physical activity offer potential mechanisms through which fatigability is increased in Veterans with post-COVID-19 fatigue. Moreover, home-based resistance exercise delivered remotely may provide a safe and feasibility treatment option for targeting neuromuscular and neurobehavioral factors influencing fatigability severity in this population.

Combination Exercise for Chronic Kidney Disease

Washington, District of Columbia
The VA health care system uses a health promotion-focused model which aims to provide longitudinal care through a patient-aligned care team for Veterans with chronic kidney disease. Since the largest subpopulation of Veterans with chronic kidney disease is comprised of those not requiring dialysis, neuromuscular screening assessments may provide valuable information regarding an individual overall health status and potential for future complications. Furthermore, identifying at risk individuals early in the disease process will allow for the prescription of timely interventions. Exercise strategies such as combination exercise, which uses flywheel resistance plus aerobic exercise, may provide a valuable treatment option for combating neuromuscular dysfunction and functional decline in patients with chronic kidney disease.

Manual Manipulation for Tongue-tie

Washington, District of Columbia
The goal of this randomized control trial is to determine the impact of post-frenotomy manual manipulation on revision rates and breastfeeding outcomes. We hypothesize that post-frenotomy manipulation will reduce the rate of sublingual frenulum regrowth, and subsequently frenotomy revision rates, thereby improving breastfeeding performance. Infants with ankyloglossia undergoing frenotomy will be randomized into two groups: the intervention group (post-frenotomy manipulation) and the control group (no intervention). Parents in the intervention group will be instructed to perform tongue stretching and suck "re-training" exercises four times daily for 2-3 weeks, beginning 24 hours post-procedure. To monitor adherence and assess any complications, investigators will conduct a follow-up phone call one week after the procedure. Parents in the control group will not be instructed to perform any post-procedural manipulation. All participants will have a mandatory in-person follow-up 2-3 weeks postoperatively, during which breastfeeding outcomes and the need for frenotomy revision will be evaluated.

Exercise for Communication Disorders

Milwaukee, Wisconsin
This clinical trial study has two goals. The first goal is to establish fitness levels, participation in physical activities, and fine/gross motor abilities for children with development language disorder (DLD). DLD occurs in 1/13 children and children with DLD often have poorer fine/gross motor skills than those with typical development. The second goal is to determine whether physical exercise helps children with DLD and typical development to learn better and improve fitness and fine/gross motor abilities more than participating in restful play activities. All children (DLD and typically developing) will undergo communication, fine/gross motor and fitness testing. Children will be randomly assigned to participate in an exercise program (n =20) or to a restful play program (n = 20). Both programs will take place 3x/week for 6 weeks and children will only participate in one of the two programs. Children in the exercise program will do activities to train cardiovascular fitness, agility, balance, strength, and endurance while children in the restful play condition will do things like play with legos and color. Researchers will compare changes in learning tasks and fitness levels for children (DLD and typically developing) who participated in the exercise program vs. restful play program.

Inactivity for Metabolic Diseases

Mequon, Wisconsin
Fitness is one of the best predictors for heart and brain disease. To increase ones fitness, the American Heart Association (AHA) says to exercise at least 150 minutes per week or 75 minutes per week if really hard. These exercise guides are pretty effective, however not everyone will get the same results. What individuals do outside of the exercise bout can influence the effectiveness of exercise. One of these factors is our time sitting, which has caused the phrase "sitting is the new smoking". Other studies have said that the metabolic benefits of exercise are decreased when you exercise after a few days of low activity (less than 5,000 steps per day). This is important in that exercise may not be able to fully offset these times of inactivity. However, these studies were only looking at different fats in the blood. As exercise increases fat burn up to 10 times in the muscle, more research is needed to understand how inactivity affects the muscle during exercise and after exercise. This study will help answer two questions: 1) How does a day of sitting a lot affect the muscle's ability to respond to exercise? and 2) How does a day of sitting a lot affect carbohydrate and fat burn during and after a bout of exercise? The investigators will answer these questions by having people complete one day of inactivity (less than 5,000 steps) or normal activity (more than 8,500 steps). Subjects will then come in the next day to bike somewhat hard for 1 hour. The investigators will take blood samples before, during, and after exercise to measure energy sources. The investigators will also collect pieces of skeletal muscle before and after exercise to see how the muscle responded to exercise. This study is significant for the publication of exercise guidelines to minimize risk of heart and metabolic diseases.

Idle Time Exercise for Stroke Recovery

Wauwatosa, Wisconsin
This project evaluates the feasibility of using custom wearable technology and associated procedures to increase activity of the more-involved upper extremity during the earliest stages of recovery from stroke by increasing the amount of therapeutic exercise during idle-time. The proposed research is relevant to public health because it takes steps to mitigate a significant problem in physical rehabilitation using low-cost technology to motivate and monitor idle-time exercise without adding significantly to clinician workloads. The project aligns with the NICHD / NCMRR Research Plan on Rehabilitation by exploiting a mobile health (mHealth) and sensor-based approach to promote health and wellness through participant-engaged, data-driven, individualized care.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Exercise clinical trials pay?

Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

How do Exercise clinical trials work?

After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Exercise trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Exercise is 12 months.

How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

Do I need to be insured to participate in a Exercise medical study?

Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

What are the newest Exercise clinical trials?

Most recently, we added Plant-based Lifestyle Intervention for Diabetes, Exercise for Esophageal Cancer and Community Support Programs for Heart Failure to the Power online platform.
