NCT ID NCT06923397
First seen Dec 22, 2025 · Last updated Jun 19, 2026 · Updated 36 times
Summary
This study tests whether a 12-week program of short exercise breaks (walking, cycling, resistance bands) can improve heart health and reduce chemotherapy side effects in 24 newly diagnosed lymphoma patients. Participants will use activity trackers and get coaching to interrupt long periods of sitting. The main goal is to see if the program is feasible and acceptable, with secondary measures of blood sugar and insulin resistance.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
exercise program (walking, cycling, resistance band exercises)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could show that simple exercise breaks during chemo improve heart health and reduce treatment side effects for lymphoma patients.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early feasibility study with only 24 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The program requires commitment and may be hard for some patients to complete.
