PILOT for The Precision Exercise Regimen for Cancer Care (PERCC) Study
Sponsored by University of Utah
About this study
This study is designed to evaluate whether a precision exercise regimen is feasible to implement within cancer populations, specifically stage II-III primary lung cancer patients receiving multimodal therapy, and delivered through telehealth.
This is a pilot study evaluating the feasibility of the Precision Exercise Regimen for Cancer Care (PERCC) intervention in stage II and stage III Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) patients receiving multimodal therapy at the Huntsman Cancer Institute (HCI) at the University of Utah. Eligible patients will begin the intervention at the pre-treatment clinic visit and continue until approximately two months post-surgery. The PERCC intervention is a virtually supervised home-based exercise program. Participants will engage in exercise starting at least two weeks before receiving their first neoadjuvant treatment for lung cancer and continuing until two months after receiving surgical treatment. The exercise modes will include basic transfer and calisthenics mobility, aerobic, and resistance …

Only the research team can confirm whether you qualify. The intake questionnaire is the best way to find out.
Completing a questionnaire on Clinably does not enroll you in a clinical trial or confirm your eligibility. Only the research team can determine whether you qualify to participate.
