NCT ID NCT04717050
First seen Jul 10, 2026 · Last updated Jul 10, 2026
Summary
This trial investigates whether a structured exercise program can improve fitness and lower risk factors for heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes in Latina women who have had breast cancer. Participants are randomly assigned to either an 8-month progressive exercise program or a 12-month stretching program for comparison. The goal is to see if exercise helps control metabolic issues linked to obesity in this specific group.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Progressive combine training (PCT) - an 8-month exercise program
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that a structured exercise program reduces metabolic risks like heart disease and diabetes in Latina breast cancer survivors, improving long-term health outcomes.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 64 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The exercise program requires commitment, and adherence may vary, affecting outcomes.
