Feasibility of an Acute Physical Exercise Before Treatment Infusion for Metastatic Lung Cancer Patients

View on ClinicalTrials.gov Updated Dec 15, 2025

Brief Summary

Because of metastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (mNSCLC) and its treatments, patients suffer from numerous symptoms such as dyspnea, muscle atrophy, pain, fatigue, loss of appetite, altered physical condition and lung function, which may further impair the patient's overall condition. Nevertheless, it has been suggested that physical exercise could improve response to treatment at the clinical level due to its known effects on the immune system. Moreover, preclinical studies have shown that exercise performed during chemotherapy administration could result in physiological benefits such as improved intra-tumoral infusion and drug delivery. The ERICA study aims to assess the feasibility of an acute physical exercise immediately before immunotherapy and chemotherapy administration in patients with mNSCLC.

Interventions

Name: Exercise arm :
Type: OTHER
Description: Patients will receive physical activity recommendations at inclusion. At each treatment cure, patients will receive pre-exercise nutritional recommendations and an acute physical exercise prior to immunotherapy and chemotherapy. The acute physical exercise will last 35 minutes and will be intermittent and individualized based on the results obtained by the patient during an endurance test on a ergocyle performed prior to treatment. 3 blood sampling times (2 EDTAsx10 mL) will be specially added to the study and will take place before exercise (1), after exercise (2) and 12 hours after the start of treatment (3). A nutritional assessment will be carried out during the first and last treatment cure. They will also benefit a home walking program. These patients will have to wear an activity tracker tracker during all intervention (3 months). They will have a phone follow-up every 10 days (± 3 days) after each treatment cure for the study duration.

Primary Outcomes

Measure: Investigate the feasibility of an acute physical exercise during the immunotherapy/chemotherapy preinfusion
TimeFrame: 3 months
Description: Ratio of the number of acute physical exercise sessions immunotherapy/chemotherapy preinfusion performed by"exercise" group patient / number of acute physical exercise sessions planned
