Bladder cancer patients step up: App-Based exercise trial aims to boost activity
NCT ID NCT07302230
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 07, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study compares a home-based physical activity program delivered through the ExerciseRx app to health education alone in 100 adults with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. Participants will use a Fitbit to track steps, and the app will set personalized goals and provide encouragement. The goal is to see if the app helps people become more active, which may improve overall health and reduce frailty.

Inclusion Criteria: * Adults (age \>= 18 years) * Prior diagnosis of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC), currently on surveillance or receiving maintenance intravesical therapy (including intravesical chemotherapy, immunotherapy) * Classified as insufficiently active on the Physical Activity as a Vital Sign (PAVS) assessment * Has an Android or Apple Smartphone/Tablet * Ambulatory * English-speaking * Willing and able to participate in study activities and sign the informed consent form Exclusion Criteria: * Severe cognitive or memory impairment/dementia precluding ability to follow instructions or participate in survey assessments * Inability to read or understand English * Lack of access or lack of sufficient facility to use an Android or iOS smart device with the minimum criteria to run the ExerciseRx app * Not receiving treatment at University of Washington (UW) * Orthopedic, neurologic, or other problems that prevent safe ambulation and protocol adherence.
