CRIBCO Trial Summary

This trial seeks to develop a new rehab program for breast cancer survivors to reduce their risk of heart disease, using fewer visits than usual. #cardiacrehab

Who is the study for?
This trial is for breast cancer survivors, aged 18 or older, who have completed their main treatments within the last 18 months and are at risk of developing cardiovascular disease. Participants must be able to exercise and give informed consent. Those with metastatic cancer, high-risk heart conditions under treatment, planned surgeries during the study period, or inability to consent are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing a new cardiac rehabilitation program designed specifically for breast cancer survivors at risk of heart disease. It involves attending 12 rehab sessions over eight weeks and aims to improve heart health without overburdening the existing cardiac rehab services meant for patients with severe heart conditions.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this intervention involves exercise as part of cardiac rehabilitation, potential side effects may include muscle soreness, fatigue, and in rare cases exercise-related injuries. The program's safety will be closely monitored throughout the trial.
