238P Beneficial effects of exercise in oncology - MoviS: ‘Movement and Health Beyond Care’

2020 
Background: MoviS: ‘Movement and Health Beyond Care’ is a 3-year randomized controlled trial aiming to educate cancer patients after adjuvant therapy on the benefits of personalized physical activity (PA) and a proper nutritional plan Methods: In this project, breast cancer (BC) patients who consent to participate will be randomized to Interventional Arm (A), consisting of 3-months of Movis Training, or Control Arm (B), consisting of standard care with no supervised PA The Movis Training consists of 3-months of aerobic training (2 d/week of supervised training and 1 d/week of unsupervised exercise) with an increase in exercise intensity (40-70% Heart Rate Reserve) and duration (20-60 min) Ad interim analyses every 3-months up to 1-year will be included The first cohort of eligible BC survivors were enrolled in January 2020 and carried out the Movis Training even during the COVID-19 pandemic The primary outcome is improvement of Quality of Life (QoL) assessed by European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer QoL (EORTC QLQ-C30) The secondary outcomes are improvement of health-related QoL parameters such as: PA level (International Physical Activity Questionnaire;SenseWear Armband), fitness (VO2max), flexibility, strength, psychological well-being (Psychological distress Inventory;Profile of Mood States and diet habit (DianaWeb, MEDIET modified and recall 24h);Anthropometric measurement, Body mass (kg);BMI (kg/m2);body composition Results: The expected improvement (mean ± SD) of the QoL in Arm A at 3-months is 15 1 ± 17 7, while in Arm B is 6 1 ± 17 1 (Cohen d effect size=0 51, medium effect) Using a t test for independent samples, with 0 05 alpha and 0 80 1-beta will require 60 subjects per group Considering an expected drop-out of 30%, a total of 172 patients will be recruited Conclusions: The targeted exercise oncology through multidisciplinary team would like to provide a coordinated program of cancer care to improve health care quality, improve prognosis, increase survival times and QoL and reduce the risk of BC recurrence Legal entity responsible for the study: Elena Barbieri Funding: Has not received any funding Disclosure: All authors have declared no conflicts of interest
