NCT ID NCT06395506
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether taking creatine, a common dietary supplement, can help breast cancer survivors regain strength and endurance faster when combined with a 12-week exercise program. Sixty women who recently finished chemotherapy will be randomly assigned to exercise with or without creatine. The goal is to see if creatine boosts the benefits of exercise on muscle function and body composition.
