Tele-exercise trial aims to fight fatigue in young brain cancer survivors
NCT ID NCT07186556
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Aug 13, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study tests whether a 12-week tele-exercise program called RISE-YA can help reduce cancer-related fatigue in young adults (ages 18-39) who are brain tumor survivors. Participants receive energy conservation counseling, behavior coaching, and exercise training via video calls. The goal is to see if this approach improves fatigue and quality of life.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- tele-exercise program with energy conservation counseling and behavior coaching
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a practical, home-based way to reduce fatigue and improve daily life for young brain tumor survivors.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study (75 people) with no control group comparison, so results may not be definitive or widely applicable.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Is currently between the ages of 18-39 years 2. Their primary brain tumor was diagnosed at age 15-39 years 3. Is 6 months to \<5 years post curative treatment 4. Has been treated with chemotherapy and radiation, given most patients receive both therapies. 5. Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness therapy (FACIT)-Fatigue ≤ 43. FACIT-Fatigue will be used as a screener because this 13-item scale can be completed relatively quickly in clinic 6. Currently engage in \<150 minutes of PA and \< 2 sessions of muscle strengthening exercise per week (assessed by Godin Leisure-Time PA Questionnaire) 7. Must be able to speak, write, and read English 8. No exercise contraindication as assessed by screening with the Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire PAR-Q+. In addition, participants' care teams will be notified of their participation in the study. 9. Must be able to provide informed consent/assent. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Non-English speaking 2. Screen failure for exercise safety 3. Underlying unstable cardiac or pulmonary disease or symptomatic cardiac disease 4. Recent fracture or acute musculoskeletal injury that precludes ability to participate in supervised exercise training sessions 5. History of underlying chronic disease, secondary malignances, germline genetic syndrome, or recurrent disease requiring re-irradiation of the brain 6. Cognitive and/or major sensory deficits that would impede the completion of research activities and assessments as deemed by the clinical team. 7. Self-report of pregnancy 8. Prisoners 9. Documented developmental disorders (e.g., Autism) or major psychotic illness (e.g., schizophrenia)
