What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing This study
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests whether different amounts of progressive aerobic exercise can reduce risk factors for breast cancer in women who are at high risk. Participants will follow an exercise program, and researchers will measure changes in exercise capacity, body composition, and gene activity in breast tissue. The goal is to see if exercise can positively influence biological markers linked to cancer development.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Nonlinear aerobic training (a progressive exercise program)
What this could lead to
If exercise dose affects breast cancer risk factors, this could lead to tailored exercise prescriptions for prevention in high-risk women.
What could go wrong
The study is early and small, and results may not apply to all women. Exercise may not change risk factors as hoped.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

75 people

The number who actually took part.

Started

Jul 2015

Expected to finish

Jul 2027

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

18 years and older

Sex

Female participants only

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Women at high-risk of breast cancer as defined by one of the following: * Cytologically confirmed atypical hyperplasia * Cytologically confirmed LCIS * Being a carrier for * BRCA1 and/or BRCA2 * Predicted lifetime risk of breast cancer \>20% based on family history) * Predicted 10-year risk of breast cancer of ≥ 2.31% * Predicted 5-year risk of breast cancer ≥ 1.67% * Aged 21 ≤ 80 years old * If a female of child-bearing potential, must not be pregnant or planning to become pregnant during the study. * Women \<50 years old who are of child-bearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test (urine HCG or serum) within 14 days of enrollment. * Must a negative mammogram or negative breast MRI within 1 year of protocol required baseline core biopsy * Clinical breast exam interpreted as benign (not suspicious for cancer) at MSK * Performing less than or equal to 120 minutes of structured moderate-intensity or strenuous-intensity exercise per week * Able to complete an acceptable baseline CPET in the absence of high risk ECG findings or other inappropriate response to exercise as determined by the investigator. * Able to achieve an acceptable peek baseline CPET defined as by any of the following criteria: * achieving a plateau in oxygen consumption concurrent an with increase in power output; * a respiratory exchange ratio ≥ 1.10; * attainment of maximal predicted heart rate (HRmax) (i.e., within 10 bpm of age-predicted \[HRmax = 220-Age\[years\]) Volitional exhaustion, as measured by a rating of perceived exertion (RPE) ≥ 18 on the BORG scale. Exclusion Criteria: * Use of any selective estrogen receptor modulator or aromatase inhibitor within 6 months of randomization, including, but not limited to: (tamoxifen, raloxifene, arzoxifene, acolbifene, anastrozole, exemestane, and letrozole) * Enrollment on an interventional investigational study * Bilateral breast implants * Any newly identified breast abnormality requiring surgical excision * History of any of the following: * Invasive cancer diagnosis * DCIS * Any current invasive cancer diagnosis * Metastatic malignancy of any kind * Any other condition or intercurrent illness that in the opinion of the investigator makes the subject a poor candidate for core biopsy or the trial * Mental impairment leading to inability to cooperate. * Room air desaturation at rest ≤85% * Any of the following absolute contraindications to cardiopulmonary exercise testing and/or aerobic training: * Acute myocardial Infarction (within 3-5 days of any planned study procedures); * Unstable angina; * Uncontrolled arrhythmia causing symptoms or hemodynamic compromise; * Recurrent syncope; * Active endocarditis; * Acute myocarditis or pericarditis; * Symptomatic severe aortic stenosis; * Uncontrolled heart failure; * Acute pulmonary embolus or pulmonary infarction within 3 months of any planned study procedures; * Thrombosis of lower extremities; * Suspected dissecting aneurysm; * Uncontrolled asthma; * Pulmonary edema; * Respiratory failure; * Acute non-cardiopulmonary disorders that may affect exercise performance or be aggravated by exercise (i.e. infection, renal failure, thyrotoxicosis); or
