Walk or cycle before cancer treatment: new study tests exercise boost
NCT ID NCT05358938
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-phase study tests whether 30 minutes of moderate exercise (like walking or cycling) right before standard immunotherapy can improve treatment for certain skin cancers (melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma, Merkel cell carcinoma). About 22 adults will exercise before each immunotherapy dose. The main goals are to see if people can stick with the exercise routine and whether it changes tumor markers or delays cancer return.
