New study aims to unlock exercise motivation in childhood cancer survivors
NCT ID NCT05763290
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 28, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether a computer-based test can reveal how young adult survivors of childhood leukemia feel about exercise. About 125 survivors will take the test before and after a stress test and share their thoughts in an interview. The goal is to see if this approach is practical and could help design better ways to encourage physical activity in this group.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help develop tools to encourage more physical activity in childhood cancer survivors, improving their long-term health.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early feasibility study, not testing a treatment. The results may not apply to all survivors or lead to direct health changes.

Who is studied
The study population will include survivors from the SJLIFE cohort from the ALL diagnostic group (treated without cranial radiation therapy (CRT). This group was chosen because of the prevalence of ALL in childhood cancer diagnoses, and to attempt to prevent potential difficulties with the cognitive task due to cognitive impairment from CRT.
