Brief Title: Evaluating the Effects of an Exercise Intervention on the Gut Microbiota in Stage II-III Colorectal Cancer Survivors
Official Title: A Randomized Controlled Trial Testing the Effects of an Exercise Intervention on the Gut Microbiota in Colorectal Cancer Survivors: A Pilot and Feasibility Study
Study ID: NCT05930496
Brief Summary: This trial evaluates the effects a moderate-to-vigorous exercise intervention has on the bacterial make-up of the gastrointestinal tract (gut microbiota) in survivors of stage II-III colorectal cancer (CRC). Data shows that the gut microbiota composition and function may be drivers of CRC. High levels of exercise are associated with improved CRC prognosis and survival. While data suggests that exercise has the potential to influence gut microbiota composition and function, it is not known whether these effects contribute to improved CRC prognosis. This clinical trial evaluates the effects an exercise intervention has on gut microbiota and how these effects relate to CRC progression and patient-reported outcomes.
Detailed Description: OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms. ARM A: Patients receive the supervised exercise intervention over 8 weeks on study. Patients also undergo collection of blood samples at baseline and week 8. ARM B: Patients receive health-related information for 8 weeks on study. Patients are then offered a session of supervised exercise followed by 7 weeks of tele-coaching sessions. Patients also undergo collection of blood samples at baseline and week 8.
