Garmin Vivofit Activity Tracker

Clinical Study ID

NCT04878952
NRGF-001
  • Ages > 18
  • All Genders

Study Summary

This trial will examine if the monitoring of daily step counts during a course of concurrent chemoradiotherapy for locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer will enable clinicians to deliver improved supportive care and reduce the rate of adverse events during the course of radiation treatment.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Pathologically (histologically or cytologically) proven diagnosis of NSCLC

  • Planned initiation (within the 30 days after study registration) of fractionated (≥15 treatments) thoracic radiotherapy with concurrent chemotherapy. Expectedtreatment scenarios include:

  • Definitive treatment of stage III disease (most common)

  • Definitive treatment for locoregional recurrence of early stage disease

  • Definitive treatment of unresectable stage II disease

  • Preoperative treatment of stage III disease

  • Postoperative treatment after incomplete resection (uncommon)

  • Radical treatment for a patient with advanced/metastatic disease with the goalof achieving long-term thoracic disease control (e.g., oligometastatic diseasewhere metastases are addressed with resection or stereotactic radiotherapy)

  • ECOG Performance Status 0-3 within 30 days prior to registration

  • Age ≥ 18

  • Ambulates independently or with a cane (use of a walker not permitted)

  • Patients who already use wearable devices and/or smartphones that monitor physicalactivity are eligible for this trial. Patients must agree to wear the deviceprovided by the study.

  • The patient or a legally authorized representative must provide study-specificinformed consent prior to study entry.

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with a history of another cancer that is expected to affect the toxicityprofile of thoracic chemoradiotherapy for NSCLC

  • Patients receiving concurrent treatment for another cancer that is expected toaffect the toxicity profile of thoracic chemoradiotherapy

  • Patients receiving thoracic radiotherapy without concurrent chemotherapy areineligible. Patients receiving concurrent chemotherapy and another form of systemictherapy (e.g., immunotherapy) are eligible. Patients receiving radiotherapy withconcurrent immunotherapy or targeted therapy but without chemotherapy are ineligible

Study Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

To demonstrate that monitoring daily step counts during a course of concurrent chemoradiotherapy for locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer will enable clinicians to deliver improved supportive care and reduce the rate of adverse clinical events during the radiotherapy course.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To demonstrate the feasibility of monitoring daily step counts during a course of chemoradiotherapy in the setting of a multi-institutional trial.

II. To examine the association between baseline activity level and clinical outcomes related to treatment tolerance, quality of life, chemoradiotherapy adverse events, and physical function preservation.

III. To demonstrate associations between daily step counts and short-term hospitalization risk.

IV. To explore predictors of step count decline during chemoradiotherapy among clinical factors and radiotherapy plan parameters.

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

I. To explore patterns of care regarding adjuvant immunotherapy administration following definitive chemoradiotherapy for locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer.

II. To examine the association between baseline activity level with progression free survival and overall survival.

OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.

ARM I: Usual Care

ARM II: Usual Care + Continuous physical activity monitoring via a wearable device.

Patients randomized to undergo activity monitoring will use a wearable device from the time of study enrollment until four weeks after the completion of thoracic radiotherapy.
