Summary
The main objective of this clinical pilot study is to evaluate the feasibility and impact of a home-based exercise program on clinical and patient-centered outcomes in adult with cystic fibrosis (CF) and inform the design of a larger clinical trial.
Description
This pilot and feasibility study is a randomized controlled trial comparing exercise intervention with a usual care group. Participants will be randomized based on a randomization table developed by a biostatistician who is not involved in the study. The exercise intervention group will be delivered with a telehealth platform using internet (Zoom HIPAA-Compliant video), an app, phone, and email/text support. Participants will be randomly allocated to either an exercise coaching program or a usual care arm. The exercise intervention arm will follow guidelines established by the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation (AACVPR) and complement best clinical practices established by the American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society (ATS/ERS). The usual care arm will be provided a handout on resources for engaging in physical activity.
Aim 1. Examine the feasibility of a home-based Tele-rehab intervention. Indicators of feasibility will include recruitment and adherence. Hypothesis 1: Based on our previous trials, we predict that >50% of eligible participants will consent to the study. Hypothesis 2: Again, based on previous trials, >70% of participants in the intervention arm will adhere to >70% of their weekly prescribed exercise. Also, we will assess reasons for; 1) eligible patients who don't enroll, 2) participants' non-adherence, and 3) non-completers.
Aim 2. Evaluate the impact of a home-based exercise program in adults with CF for improving clinical and patient-centered outcomes. Hypothesis 1: There will be a greater improvement in exercise capacity (measured by a modified shuttle test), a novel measure of lung function 129Xenon MRI (129Xe MRI), forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), and quality of life with participants in the intervention arm when compared to usual care. Hypothesis 2: Changes in exercise capacity and 129Xe MRI will be associated with exercise adherence, as noted in Aim 1.
