Achtergrond van het onderzoek
The Pact-Paces-Heart study
Evaluation of heart function after physical activity during adjuvant chemotherapy in breast cancer patients: a follow-up of two randomized clinical trials
Rationale for the study:
The population of breast cancer survivors is growing rapidly as a result of aging of the population and ongoing successes in cancer treatment. Nevertheless, cancer treatment can have adverse cardiovascular side effects that impact morbidity and mortality, reducing overall quality of life of cancer survivors. While accumulating evidence suggests that physical activity during cancer treatment can be a safe, non-pharmalogical approach to migitage the cardiotoxic effects of cancer treatment, this has not been demonstrated in a large population of mid-term cancer survivors.
Aim:
To explore if participation in an exercise program during adjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer therapy has beneficial effects cardiovascular toxicitity (primary outcome), cognitive functioning, exercise capacity, endothelial function, biochemical measurements of cardiovascular toxicity, muscle strength, quality of life, fatigue and depression (secondary outcomes).
Study design:
Follow-up study of two previous RCTs (the PACT and PACES study)
Study population:
Participants of the previous PACT and PACES study; breast cancer survivors who underwent adjuvant chemotherapy 6 years ago. The estimated study population is 180 participants.
Study procedures:
Participants will be invited for a study visit to undergo a series of tests, including cardiac MRI, rest and stress echocardiography, CPET, muscle test and the assessment of endothelial function. In addition, venous blood sample will be drawn. Participants will be asked to complete an online cognitive test battery and online questionnaires concering fatigue (MFI), depression and anxiety (HADS), quality of life (EORTC QLQ30), physical activity (PASE/SQUASH), self-reported cognitive complaints (MDASI) and the presence of cardiovascular risk factors.
Doel van het onderzoek
We hypothesize that participation in an exercise program during adjuvant chemotherapy has reduced cardiovascular toxicity toxicity in women wiht breast cancer after an average follow-up of 6 years. In addition to cardiovacular toxicity, we hypothesize that participation in an exercise program has beneficial effects on fatigue, exercise capacity, quality of life, cognitive functioning and muscle strength.

Onderzoeksproduct en/of interventie
The Pact-Paces-Heart study has no interventions.
However, the previous PACT and PACES study both had interventions. In PACT, participants were randomized to an intervention or control arm. The invervention group underwent an 18 week supervised exercise program during adjuvant treatment, which started within six weeks after diagnosis. The control groups received care as usual. In contrast to PACT, PACES had two intervention arms and a control group. The first was Onco-Move, a low-intensity home-based exercise program. The second, On-Track, was high-intensity supervised exercise program. Control group received, comparable to PACT, care as usual.
Algemeen / deelnemers
Wetenschappers
Belangrijkste voorwaarden om deel te mogen nemen (Inclusiecriteria)
Patients who participated in the previous PACT or PACES study (PACT = NTR2138, PACES = NTR2159).
Both studies investigated the effects of exercising during adjuvant chemotherapy for breast cancer using comparable exercise interventions.
Belangrijkste redenen om niet deel te kunnen nemen (Exclusiecriteria)
- Participants who died during follow-up
- Participants who are not considered eligible by their treating physician, based on psychological or physiological contraindications.
- Participants treated with chemotherapy, targeted therapy or thoracic radiotherapy after the completion of the original PACT or PACES trial for recurrent breast cancer (incl. contralateral breast cancer), metastases or a secondary malignancy.
