Exercise program to boost heart health after early breast cancer
Part of Cancer, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies whether a structured exercise program can improve cardiovascular (heart and blood vessel) health in post-menopausal women after early-stage breast cancer treatment. It specifically targets women who have trouble with exercise and have completed cancer treatment within the last 1 to 5 years.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a woman age 21 to 80
- Your early breast cancer was treated with surgery, and possibly radiation, chemotherapy, and/or trastuzumab
- You are post-menopausal (for example: no periods for 2+ years, or hormone levels and/or treatment-induced menopause)
- You finished all cancer treatment at least 1 year ago and no more than 5 years ago
- Baseline exercise test shows low exercise capacity (your VO2peak is below what’s expected for your age/sex)
- You can complete a heart-and-lung exercise test (CPET) safely and are willing to follow study visits

This study tests an exercise intervention for people with early-to-mid stage breast cancer soon after curative breast surgery (and after chemo and/or radiation if you had it). It may help improve recovery, physical strength, and overall wellbeing by making exercise safer and more structured during this period.
This trial tests if a supervised exercise program can improve quality of life for people with early-stage breast cancer who are currently taking hormone therapy (aromatase inhibitors with or without CDK4/6 inhibitors). It aims to see if exercise helps reduce side effects like fatigue and pain.
This Phase 2 study tests whether a supervised aerobic (cardio) training program can improve health and exercise capacity for people receiving treatment for primary breast cancer. You may join if you currently do very little moderate-to-vigorous exercise and can safely complete a special treadmill test that measures breathing and heart response.
This study tests if a 12-week exercise program improves heart health in women over 60 who have finished treatment for early-stage breast cancer. You will be placed in either an aerobic exercise group or a stretching group to see which helps your heart more.
This trial tests if starting a supervised aerobic exercise program soon after chemotherapy can help improve blood vessel health in women with early-stage breast cancer. It's designed for women who are generally inactive and ready to begin exercising.
This study compares two types of exercise programs for women who have completed breast cancer treatment. It aims to see which type of training helps improve heart health and fitness.
