A Randomized Web-based Physical Activity Intervention among Children and Adolescents with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
Investigation of Web-Based Physical Activity for Children with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
Brief description of study.
This randomized clinical trial studies how well web-based physical activity intervention works in improving long term health in children and adolescents with newly diagnosed acute lymphoblastic leukemia that shows a decrease in or disappearance of signs and symptoms. Regular physical activity after receiving treatment for cancer may help to maintain a healthy weight and improve energy levels and overall health.

Eligibility of study
You may be eligible for this study if you meet the following criteria:
- Conditions: Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
-
Age: 8 years - 15 years
-
Gender: All
Inclusion Criteria
Patient must be a newly diagnosed ALL, in first remission
Patient must have completed curative chemotherapy within past 6 months at a Childrens Oncology Group (COG) institution
At the time of consent, patient or parent/guardian reports less than 420 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity over the last week
Patient must have access to a smart phone with Android 4.3 or later or iOS 7.1 or later or computer (laptop/desktop) with a connection to the internet to create an account and be able to sync the Sqord device (accelerometer)
Patient and at least one parent/guardian are able to read and write English; at least 1 parent/guardian must be able to read and write English in order to assist the patient with using their Sqord account
Exclusion Criteria
Patients with previous hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT)
Patients with significant concurrent disease, illness, psychiatric disorder or social issue that would compromise patient safety or compliance with protocol therapy, or interfere with consent, study participation, follow up, or interpretation of study results
Female patients who are pregnant are not eligible; women of childbearing potential require a negative pregnancy test
Female patient who is postmenarcheal has agreed to use an effective contraceptive method (including abstinence) for the duration of study participation
This study investigates how a web-based physical activity program can improve long-term health in children and adolescents with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). ALL is a type of cancer that affects the blood and bone marrow. The study focuses on participants who have shown a reduction or disappearance of symptoms after initial treatment.
Participants will engage in a web-based program designed to encourage regular physical activity. This program aims to help maintain a healthy weight and improve energy levels. Participants will use a device called an accelerometer to track their physical activity, which will be synced with an online account.
- Who can participate: Children and adolescents who are in their first remission from acute lymphoblastic leukemia can participate. They must have completed chemotherapy within the last 6 months and currently engage in less than 420 minutes of physical activity per week. Participants need access to a smartphone or computer with internet. Participants must be able to read and write English and cannot have had a hematopoietic stem cell transplant or significant concurrent diseases.
- Study details: Participants will use a web-based program to track and increase their physical activity. They will need to sync their physical activity data using a device that measures movement, called an accelerometer, with an online account. A parent or guardian must assist the participant with this process.
