NCT ID NCT06250751
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a remote exercise program for 27 men with prostate cancer who were receiving hormone therapy (androgen deprivation therapy). The program included walking or cycling, strength training, and counseling sessions over 8 weeks. The main goal was to see if the program was feasible and acceptable, not to measure health benefits. The study focused on medically underserved men, including Black men and those in rural areas.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Behavioral exercise training (walking, cycling, strength training) with counseling
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a larger trial testing whether exercise helps manage side effects of hormone therapy in underserved men with prostate cancer.
- What could go wrong
- This was a small, early feasibility study with only 27 participants. It was not designed to measure health outcomes, so any benefits are uncertain and need further testing.
