About this trial

This is an interventional supportive care trial for Cancer Survivors

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)FemaleDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • completed active treatment for a Stage 0-III breast cancer diagnosis within 6 months to 5 years of enrollment.
  • obese as defined by a body mass index (BMI) of 30 to 50 kg/m2 & nonobese as defined as BMI 18.5 to 24.9 kg/m2
  • patients who are on adjuvant endocrine therapy will be allowed to participate.
  • sedentary (participating in less than 90 min of moderate intensity activity per week) and have at least one limitation in activity on the 10-question RAND-36 Physical Function Subscale to ensure some exercise intolerance

Exclusion Criteria:

  • functional limitations that make independent exercise unsafe
  • current smokers
  • metastatic breast cancer
  • ongoing or active infection with recent antibiotics or steroids
  • heart disease precluding exercise (congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia)
  • psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements
  • orthopedic or neuromuscular disorders or arthritis that preclude participation in exercise
  • unwilling or unable to follow protocol requirements
  • pregnant or nursing
  • any condition which in the investigator's opinion deems the subject an unsuitable candidate to participate in this study
  • presence of provokable ECG changes suggestive of heart disease, or dangerous arrhythmias or exercise induced hypertension, etc. during the cardiopulmonary exercise test
  • non-English speaking

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The investigators propose a randomized controlled trial to determine the effectiveness of inspiratory muscle training in improving exercise tolerance among stage 0-III obese breast cancer survivors.
Detailed Description
Randomized controlled trial (RCT) where obese participants (N=133) are randomized to 2 arms: [i] IMT 4 wks + Exercise 12 wks, [ii] SHAM 4 wks + Exercise 12 wks).

6. Conditions and Keywords

Interventional Study Model
Parallel Assignment
Masking
ParticipantOutcomes Assessor
Masking Description
Staff completing outcomes testing and study participants will be blinded to treatment assignment (IMT/SHAM). The IMT/SHAM devices are the same with ability to alter resistance; however, upon use at the lower intensity, the participant may be able to tell whether the device has resistance.
Allocation
Randomized
