NCT06379282 | RECRUITING | Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

Investigating the Role of Energy Balance Modification on Health Responses in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia
Sponsor:

University of Surrey

Information provided by (Responsible Party):

David Bartlett

Brief Summary:

This randomised control clinical trial aims to investigate the effects of exercise training and diet on physical and functional fitness and immunological and metabolic changes in adults with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia. Investigators will randomise participants to either 12 weeks of supervised/semi-supervised exercise only, exercise + nutritional guidance, or no exercise.

Detailed Description:

This study aims to perform a randomised control trial of exercise or exercise plus nutritional guidance on the physiological and immunological health of adults diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL). Recruited participants will be randomised to either 12 weeks of an exercise-only program, an exercise-plus nutritional guidance program or a no-exercise control group. Fasting blood samples collected at Baseline and 12 weeks will measure absolute CLL cell counts, immune function, and inflammatory and metabolic biomarkers. A series of physical fitness assessments will be assessed at baseline and 12 weeks to determine physiologic reserve and resilience against external stressors. Additionally, participants will be asked to return 12 weeks after completing the intervention to assess the legacy effects of the intervention on the same physiological and blood-based biomarkers of health.

  • * Male or female ≥ 18 years of age
  • * Able to walk on a treadmill or cycle on an ergometer
  • * Pass the Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaires (PAR-Q and PAR-Q+)
Exclusion Criteria
  • * Corticosteroid therapy initiated less than 7 days before study entry. Prednisone 10mg or less or equivalent is allowed. Topical or inhaled corticosteroids are permitted.
  • * Secondary malignancy within 3 years of study enrollment requiring intervention except for adequately treated basal, squamous cell carcinoma or non-melanomatous skin cancer, carcinoma in situ of the cervix, superficial bladder cancer not treated with intravesical chemotherapy or BCG within 6 months, localised prostate cancer and PSA stable.
