Prehabilitation for Lung Cancer Surgery (ROAR-LCS Trial)

This study, called the ROAR-LCS Trial, is looking at two different programs to help adults having lung cancer surgery. These programs, one called ROAR-LCS and another called BeFitMe, involve physical therapy and relaxation exercises before and after surgery. The goal is to see if these programs can help you recover better and have good results from your surgery. You can join if you are at least 18 years old, have non-small cell lung cancer that can be removed by surgery, and plan to have surgery at Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center. The main goal of the study is to see how many people stick with the programs (adherence) and how many stay in the study (retention). This study is currently unclear on its recruitment status.

Study design
This interventional study plans to enroll 30 participants. Participants choose which of the two intervention arms they would like to participate in.
What's involved
You would provide blood samples and complete exercises at home using a portable exercise peddler and resistance bands. You would also access the BeFitMe application or attend in-person and virtual physical therapy sessions.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Your adherence will be measured at a 12-week follow-up session, and retention will be measured for up to 6 months after you join the study.

What this trial measures

  • Adherence (feasibility)At 12 week follow up session

    Defined as completion of ≥ 8 of the program sessions (Resiliency and Operative Success among Adults Receiving Lung Cancer Surgery \[ROAR-LCS\]) and 3 out of the 5 repeated assessments (BeFitMe) at the end of the study period, whichever occurs first.

  • Retention (feasibility)Up to 6 months post recruitment

    Defined as the percentage of participants not lost to follow-up at 12 weeks (pre-operative), post-operative (around 12 weeks), and 6 months post recruitment.
