Pilot Study to Evaluate Targeted Physical Activity Among Pancreatic Cancer Patients Receiving Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy

Recruiting

Pilot Study Evaluating the Impact of Targeted Physical Activity Among Frail Pancreatic Cancer Patients Receiving Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy

Who can join

Ages 18 and older · All sexes

Full eligibility criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

1. Age ≥18 years
2. Diagnosis of pancreatic cancer that is potentially resectable per the treating clinical team's assessment.
3. Planned to receive or actively receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy prior to surgery.
4. Frail or pre-frail as defined by the protocol-specified frailty assessment tool (e.g., Fried Frailty Phenotype; pre-frail = 1-2 criteria; frail =\> 3 criteria).
5. Able to provide written informed consent.
6. Medically appropriate to participate in supervised, symptom-limited exercise as determined by study screening and, if indicated, the treating clinician's input.
7. Able to complete study assessments and questionnaires in English or Spanish (using IRB- approved instruments/materials).

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Adults unable to consent.
2. Medical condition that, in the judgment of the investigator and/or treating clinician, makes exercise unsafe (e.g., unstable angina, uncontrolled arrhythmia, decompensated heart failure, uncontrolled severe pulmonary disease).
3. Any absolute contraindication to exercise participation/testing per institutional standards.
4. Severe symptoms or functional impairment that prevents safe participation despite program modification.
5. Inability to comply with the intervention schedule and study procedures despite reasonable scheduling accommodations.

About the study

Patients with pancreatic cancer receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy often experience functional decline, treatment interruptions, and clinical deterioration, and these risks may be amplified when frailty is present.
