Exercise Intervention for Reducing Fatigue in Patients with Locally Advanced, Unresectable or Metastatic Breast Cancer being Treated with Enhertu, ENERGIZE Trial

Trial Status: active

This clinical trial tests how well an exercise intervention works in reducing fatigue in patients with breast cancer that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced), that cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable), or that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic) and who are being treated with trastuzumab-deruxtecan (Enhertu). Cancer-related fatigue is a common symptom experienced by people with breast cancer. It can occur before, during, and after cancer treatment, and may affect daily activities and overall quality of life. Fatigue can be caused by many factors including the underlying cancer itself, cancer treatments, mental health disorders, medication side effects, pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, malnutrition, anemia, and insomnia. Many treatments can be used to treat cancer-related fatigue and exercise has been shown to improve cancer-related fatigue. An exercise intervention that combines aerobic and resistance training may help reduce cancer-related fatigue in patients with locally advanced, unresectable, or metastatic breast cancer.
