NCT ID NCT07162298

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
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
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 compares 12 weeks of supervised dragon boat training to unsupervised home exercise in 72 women who had breast cancer surgery. The goal is to see which approach better improves body composition, physical function, and quality of life. Participants will be randomly assigned to either group, and results will be measured after the training period.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Dragon boat training
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a fun, group-based exercise option to help breast cancer survivors regain strength and well-being.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase study with only 72 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The benefits of dragon boat training over home exercise are uncertain.

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

Inclusion Criteria: * Female patients aged 18-75 years; * ECOG performance status of 0-1; * BMI between 18.0 and 30.0; * No prior experience with dragon boat or kayaking; * Histologically or pathologically confirmed invasive breast cancer; * Function levels of major organs must meet the following requirements (no blood transfusion, no use of leukocyte-elevating or platelet-elevating drugs within 2 weeks before screening): 1. Routine blood test: absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \> 1.5×10⁹/L; platelet count (PLT) \> 75×10⁹/L; hemoglobin (Hb) \> 90g/L; lymphocyte count ≥ 1.5×10⁹/L. 2. Blood biochemistry: total bilirubin (TBIL) \< 1.5×ULN; alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) \< 1.5×ULN; alkaline phosphatase \< 2.5×ULN; blood urea nitrogen/urea (BUN/UREA) and creatinine (Cr) \< 1.5×ULN. 3. Echocardiography: left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) \> 55%. 4. 12-lead electrocardiogram: Fridericia-corrected QT interval (QTcF) \< 470 msec. For premenopausal female patients or those not surgically sterilized: effective contraceptive methods must be used during treatment and for at least 6 months after the last dose in the study treatment. * Voluntary participation in the study, signing of informed consent, good compliance, and willingness to cooperate with follow-up. Exclusion Criteria: * Stage IV breast cancer. * Inflammatory breast cancer. * Previous receipt of anti-tumor therapy or radiotherapy for any malignant tumor, excluding cured malignant tumors such as carcinoma in situ of the cervix, basal cell carcinoma, or squamous cell carcinoma. * Concurrent receipt of anti-tumor therapy in other clinical trials, including but not limited to chemotherapy, endocrine therapy, biological therapy, bone-modifying agent therapy, or immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy. * Previous regular participation in physical activity (moderate to vigorous exercise at least twice a week). * Severe heart disease or discomfort, including but not limited to the following conditions: * Confirmed history of heart failure or systolic dysfunction (LVEF less than 50%). * High-risk uncontrolled arrhythmias, such as atrial tachycardia, resting heart rate greater than 100 bpm, significant ventricular arrhythmias (e.g., ventricular tachycardia), or higher-grade atrioventricular block (i.e., Mobitz II second-degree atrioventricular block or third-degree atrioventricular block). * Angina pectoris requiring anti-anginal medication. * Clinically significant valvular heart disease. * ECG showing transmural myocardial infarction. * Poorly controlled hypertension (systolic blood pressure greater than 180 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure greater than 100 mmHg after drug treatment). * Uncontrolled active infection requiring treatment; history of immunodeficiency, including positive HIV test, or other acquired or congenital immunodeficiency diseases, or history of organ transplantation. * Patients with active chronic hepatitis B or active hepatitis C (excluding hepatitis B virus carriers, hepatitis B patients stable after drug treatment \[HBV-DNA test negative or \< 50 IU/ml\], and cured hepatitis C patients \[HCV RNA test negative\]). * Patients with any other chronic diseases (such as hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease, COPD, etc.). * Patients unable to tolerate moderate to vigorous exercise. * Pregnant or lactating female patients, female patients with childbearing potential and positive baseline pregnancy test, or women of childbearing age who are unwilling to take effective contraceptive measures throughout the trial and within 6 months after the last study medication. * Patients with severe concomitant diseases or other comorbidities that would interfere with the planned treatment, or any other conditions deemed by the researcher to make the patient unsuitable for participation in the study.
