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.
