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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 tests whether a 16-week home-based high-intensity interval training (HIIT) program can slow prostate cancer in Black men who are on active surveillance (monitoring the cancer without immediate treatment). The trial involves 68 participants who will use a stationary bike and heart rate monitor, with virtual supervision. The main goal is to see if exercise lowers PSA levels, a marker of prostate cancer activity.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
High-intensity interval training (HIIT) exercise program
What this could lead to
If it works, this could show that regular exercise helps slow prostate cancer growth, offering a non-drug way to manage the disease for Black men on active surveillance.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase trial with only 68 participants, so results may not apply broadly. Exercise may not significantly affect PSA levels, and the home-based program depends on participant adherence.

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

About 68 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

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.

Sex

Male participants only

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

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

Show the full entry requirements

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

Inclusion Criteria: * Age ≥18 years. * Histologically diagnosed with localized prostate cancer. * Initiating or undergoing active surveillance. * Having a higher risk of progression, defined as meeting one or more of the following: (1) favorable- intermediate risk prostate tumor at diagnosis, (2) obesity (body mass index ≥ 30), and/or (3) self- identified as Black or African American. * No plans for invasive treatment for their prostate cancer in the 12 weeks following the time of enrollment. * Ability to understand and willingness to provide informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: * Received any invasive curative-intent treatment for prostate cancer, including surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and hormonal therapy. * Patients with metastasis and/or other active malignancies (except basal cell carcinoma) and/or receiving treatment for those malignancies. * Participating in any (\>0 min/week) high-intensity exercise at the time of recruitment. * Having chronic medical conditions that are clinically unstable or uncontrolled with medications, deemed high-risk for exercise. These include but are not limited to unstable cardiac diseases, uncontrolled diabetes, and bone metastases with imminent risk of fracture. * Having a high risk for noncompliance with study procedures. This will be determined by the study team based on the history of missed oncology appointments (i.e., ≥3 no-shows in 6 months) and poor responsiveness during recruitment (i.e., ≥3 unreturned contacts). * Patients who are non-English speaking and unable to complete the participant surveys.
